“Tessa has been a super helpful coach this past year. She helped me stay on track and weather the ups and downs instead of quitting when life got really tough. My overall progress was slower than I planned, but I'm proud that I made consistent progress and that I'm getting closer to my goal. I intend to use what I've learned and focus on continued weight loss and gentle exercise over the next year and then sign back up for coaching with Tessa next fall to build muscle. Thank you!”
“I have been eating “intuitively” with clean, whole foods forever, but after 3 kids and a complete hysterectomy/surgical menopause in my mid 30s (I’m now 52), I quickly gained 15 lbs. Although I was still eating healthy foods, I had no idea that my humble bowl of chia seed pudding was packing a whopping 500 calories. At 5’1”, that was just shy of half of my calories for the day! I just bought into the inevitability of weight gain after menopause. Once I realized that I needed to start weighing and tracking foods more carefully, I bounced up and down between 117-121 lbs as I was on and off with the tracking. For years I did this! Although no one would ever look at me (clothed, at least!!) and say I needed to lose weight, I was fluffy, and I didn’t like the way my clothes were fitting me. I also knew I needed to get serious about resistance training for longevity/health purposes, and I could not seem to stick to that at all, mostly because I’d rather stick a fork in my eye than lift weights. I’ve considered coaching for a long time. My excuses were “it’s too much money, I just need to be more disciplined on my own” and “I don’t have much to lose, I should be able to do it without one.” I’ve tried having friends and family be my accountability partners, but let’s be honest; they don’t want to stick to their own programs, so they’re more than happy to watch you get off track, too. I finally realized that nothing is going to change if I don’t do something radically different. So, I got the coach. Krista was great; she was nice and encouraging, but she also called me out on my excuses. The fact that I was paying for this and didn’t want to seem like a quitter to her kept me going when I know I would have stopped had I not been accountable to someone. Yes, it cost money, but I blow much more money on other, less important things all the time. I am now 11 lbs lighter, so much stronger, and a bit “tighter” for that money, and it could not have been better spent. Get the coach and invest in yourselves; I could not be happier!”
“My experience since getting a coach has been great! I was paired with Coach Garrett and I have no complaints. I asked to be held accountable and he does just that. I started my journey because a year ago I was the heaviest I had ever been and I wanted to lose weight. I let him knoe that it doesn't have to be a fast, strict timeline for me. I want to enjoy life & lose weight at the same time and I'm down 25 lbs since I have started working with him. He is consistent, encouraging, & challenges me. I was stuck in my ways as far as workouts go and ever since my journey with Garrett, I have learned to let that go and accept the help that would allow me to thrive.”

“I was on the fence about coaching for a long time. I was convinced that I could do everything for myself that a coach could do for me. Except, I lacked one thing and that was accountability. I really really struggled holding myself accountable and often used the "one day won't hurt" "one bad day won't make a difference", that mindset always left me spiraling and over eating for weeks at a time. Before I started coaching I lost some weight but had no idea how to maintain it. I gained every pound plus some back when I was stressed with school.
Working with my coach for the last 6 months has been so rewarding! I lost the weight again and reached my goal (a stepping stone to my overall goal) and along the way I developed some great habits and have seen a huge improvement in my relationship with food and exercise. I don't workout to punish myself, I workout because I enjoy it. I enjoy foods without the guilt that came with eating them before. I feel more in control and have a much better understanding of what my body needs to feel it's best. I had almost given up on all of my goals because they were hard to achieve. Along the way though I've learned that loss is loss, even if the progress is slow. I'm thrilled with my 15lb loss because I have seen so much progress in other areas as well! I'm stronger in the gym, I have more endurance for cadio, my clothes are looser, and I have felt so much better since focusing on my nutrition. I can't wait to continue this journey in the new year!”
“Michelle was so helpful for me. I had certain goals in mind when I signed up for coaching but they changed. Michelle quickly showed me that I had some unhealthy tendencies when it came to my relationship with food that needed to be addressed. She provided support for me with balanced meal ideas and encouragement regarding a healthy and happy body. Moreover, Michelle went above and beyond her scope of training to help find answers for me and point me in the direction of medical professionals to help me with my medical and emotional issues.
I will be forever grateful to Michelle, she is not only an amazing coach, but truly an amazing and caring person. She was always available and responsive to my needs, I highly recommend her to anyone searching for help with their nutritional goals.”
“My coach Steve was amazingly supportive throughout my journey. He helped guide me to losing over 20 lbs and building healthy habits. I’m thankful for my time with Macros.”
“Working with Tessa has been amazing I’ve learned so much in the past month I’ve been with her. She’ always gets back to me super fast if not the same day the next morning. She sends me videos and texts explaining and always encouraging me. We do get a ton of free info in the macro Inc group and it’s amazing but coaching it’s a next layer that’ kept me pushing me to do better because I knew I had someone I had to be accountable to. I have to take a break to get some affair in orders but as soon as I have some money I can allocate to myself I’m coming right back to coaching and I want to get the full coaching when I get back! I know looking at the pictures it’s not a big change but I don’t have a lot of weight to lose just my stubborn belly. And I still ate chocolate, had weekly date nights and family dinners, so for all of those things I feel it got better since signing up with Tessa. And with all the knowledge I gained from her I know I’ll keep improving and look even better next month !”
“I’ve had an amazing year training with Tessa. She truly listened to my concerns, guided me through challenges, and encouraged me when I was hard on myself. Thanks to her support, I feel stronger and more confident, and I now understand how to fuel my body for lasting health. Tessa has made a real difference in my fitness journey, and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Garrett was a fantastic coach for me. He listened and really understood my goals, and helped me understand how to get where I want to be. I hit a bump with a diagnosis that I wasn't expecting and Garrett was supportive and willing to pivot with our plan.”
“Sharon is beyond amazing. Keeping on track nutrition-wise hasn’t always been easy for me, but Sharon has such a wonderful way of keeping me accountable without making me feel bad about myself or guilty when I went off track. Like my own personal cheerleader/support person! I felt so at ease sharing some of the things that are not always easy to discuss (menopause, hrt, constipation, you name it). I never felt judged. I haven’t lost all of the weight that I set out to but have made such great progress with Sharon’s guidance. I am feeling stronger and look more jacked than I did 30 years ago. More importantly than that, Sharon has helped me to see food in a more balanced way. Thank you Sharon for your guidance. 💕”
“I was struggling on my own trying to get my food figured out, what I learned over training is that carbs matter in performance in energy and your ability to hit your weight lifting and running goals. I was entirely stuck in the the long term mindset that carbs are bad…as a women in her 50 s and perimenopausal it really has made all the difference. I am so excited to keep going and build strong muscles! I’m proof that the best things happen after 50 and we are not out to pasture:) my coach has been nothing but supportive and I loved the check ins and accountability that Taylor provided me. I definately needed that!”
“Viktorija was such a supportive coach! She understood my needs and my crazy schedule as a teacher. I got lots of nutritional information and knew she was going though my meal logs to give m the supportive feedback that I needed. She also gave me advice when I was going out of town or having a fun weekend with friends and family. Though I only did nutritional coaching (I also continued doing workouts on my own)-she gave me advice on how I could make some small changes for a bigger impact. I felt that her check-ins were personal and that she was really invested in my goals. I met my goal weight and could not be happier! Life unfortunately got too busy for me to fully commit to this program but I will sign up again with Viktorija in a heartbeat. She's the best!”
“Coach Brittany is amazing! She has been an incredible guide and source of knowledge on my wellness journey. Her expertise shines through in every session, as she takes the time to break things down in a way that makes sense and empowers me to make real changes. Beyond her knowledge, she’s funny, kind, and so full of energy—always straight up and honest, which I appreciate. She knows how to motivate and support me like no one else, and it feels like she truly understands my goals and challenges. I genuinely look forward to our weekly check-ins; they keep me inspired and on track. Thank you, Coach B! #GoBills”
“I had a wonderful coaching experience. My coach was an excellent match and had a sixth sense of when I was feeling disheartened and challenged. I'm sure he could see round corners because he would give me a gentle nudge at just the right moment. He would send me texts............"How is it going", "for the upcoming event,/ travel/ visit why don't you try this.........." " Good job with consistency this week....."
It has been a great experience.”
“Having the accountability and ally in your corner each day and week is so helpful to staying on track and acknowledging your wins. When the forest gets thick, it’s reassuring to have a reminder of your progress and changes along the way. It’s also beneficial to have a sounding board and place for advice, or let’s be honest, venting and complaining. lol”
“I signed up with Macros Inc, because I had an unhealthy relationship with food. I had counted macros for 7 years, but had turned more towards restrictive eating. I needed help to get me back to a place where I could be comfortable. I was paired with Coach Colt. We had our video conferece call and I instantly knew that he understood exactly what I needed and where I wanted to end up.
Colt slowly moved me to maintenance. It was a struggle to see a slight spike in the scale, but Colt talked me through my anxiousness every step of the way. Trusting him, the process, and myself, was what I needed to get to my end goal of maintenance with strength gains.
If it were not for Macros Inc and Colt, I would still be on the vicious cycle of restrictive eating and not being properly fueled. I feel better mentally and physically. I cannot recommend the coaches or program enough!”
“My coach was Steve McDaniels. He was very informative and supportive throughout our coaching relationship. He taught me how to properly track food and drinks, he helped me set mini-goals, and he never made me feel like my goals were beyond reach. I highly recommend him as a coach!”
“Coach Andrew was phenomenal. As someone who has completed 3 IRONMAN’ triathlons, I thought I knew how to manage a heathy weight. I found myself not eating the best, or much at all, and Andrew helped change my mindset over time stressing the importance of lean protein and fruits and veggies. He held me accountable and I learned something new every week. If you’re on the fence about getting a macros coach, don’t hesitate. It’s worth it!”
