Sit down - be humble? Nah. Gotta brag on my clients!!

Steve after a year of working together is 45 lbs down, went from a size 44 to a 38, has multiple 100+ lb lifts, and according to his most recent doctors appointment his bloodwork looks “STELLAR”

Erica graduated sustainably snatched at 12 lbs down and crazy muscle tone! Saying things like she’s in better shape NOW than when she was an athlete in high school. She’s still working with me and getting even more muscle!

Allison graduated sustainably snatched in May and is still maintaining her 20 lbs weight loss she saw, she’s back in a size 6 and consistently has people telling her how jacked she looks!

Lilly graduated sustainably snatched at 48 lbs down, needing a new wardrobe because of how many inches she lost, walks around the gym in a sports bra and shorts and doesn’t bat an eye. She even inspired her mom to start her own fitness journey!

Krystal 34 lbs down, went from a size 32-28 and was confident AF for her wedding!

Stephanie fit back into her pre-pregnancy jeans in 6 weeks and in 3 months her cholesterol dropped 80 points!!

What are you waiting for? Hire me and this could be you! Comment confident to learn more about coaching and get started NOW! 👏

Honey lime chicken enchiladas 🍋‍🟩🍯

Big Stan over here! And yes you can get everything you need for a body transformation 👏

I thought eating clean and as little as possible was what I needed to do to see a big transformation but turns out once I shifted my focus to how to FUEL my body - that’s when everything changed.

When I stopped demonizing food and leaned into foods that helped me hit my goals with ease instead of feeling guilty for not choosing the “cleanest” option was when I was able to finally be consistent instead of constantly starting and stopping.

Let me teach you how 💪 no cleanses or carb cutting required!

Save this for your next grocery haul! And if you’re ready for accountability to reach your goals - DM me, let’s chat about coaching!

You can have fun and still be locked in 💪

I teach macro tracking and an exercise routine in a way that gives you structure but also flexibility.

You need strategy and you need discipline to be successful. But that doesn’t mean it has to feel restrictive either. It it doesn’t mean you have to be perfect all of the time.

Let me teach you the sweet spot between balance and discipline that feels like freedom! Because when you start seeing results - you’re gonna stay locked in baby 👏

DM me to learn more about my fat loss program sustainably snatched so you can start seeing results AND keep them 💪

In May I will have been working in the fitness industry for 10 years 🤯

Here’s what I’ve learned so far:

🏋️‍♀️ lifting weights and eating a high protein diet is the cheat code to the fountain of youth and your dream body

🏃‍♀️ when you start looking at exercise as something that empowers you vs something you do when you need to punish yourself that’s when you’ll actually stick with it for life

🥗 stop crash dieting and trying to find quick fixes - its f*cking up your metabolism. you can get out of this yo-yo cycle if you start learning how to fuel your body instead of starve it

🚴‍♀️ spin is fun af 🎶

If you want to learn how combining macro tracking and strength training can get you your dream body - dm me “ready” and I’ll send you a link to book a free coaching consult with me.

If you’re in the Chicago suburbs and you want to try a spin class - dm me “spin” and I’ll send you a guest pass!

Nutrition guidelines need nuance. More context, less fear.

And if we really want to talk about the obesity problem in America then we REALLY need to talk about more than nutrition.

If you agree like, share, and let’s stop demonizing food together 💪💗
