Yesterday one of my clients came in for her final assessment after completing my 4 Rapid Fat Loss Program (my Seattle weight loss program – very similar to my FHM Transformation Contest.) She was is tears. She said she had been crying on her way to see me. She told me she was frustrated and disappointed in herself.

She went from barely being able to get on and off the ground to doing modified burpees. On Thursday, she did two push ups on her toes. 4 weeks ago, she could barely do 2 push ups on her knees. She cut out all processed food and was cooking for the first time in her life. She is not participating in my boot camp classes with a smile on her face (most of the time) instead Read more »

The best part of my job is hearing about the progress YOU are making. I love to hear about my mamas getting stronger, fitter and more empowered. There is such a huge carry over when this happen. By that, I mean getting strong isn’t just about losing weight or getting smaller, it’s about making big changes in your life. This is what happens when you get fit. You start seeing how you can improve more than just your body – you can improve your LIFE.
Here is an email I got from FHM Kris about how she has changed everything in her life – and getting strong was just the beginning!
