“I feel so grateful to have been paired with my coach Conner! I have coached with macros and strength training on and off for 3 yrs. This process with Conner..aligns so much with my own knowledge of science and data..and I love his facts and data! He has taken what has been stressful and felt negative with tracking to something much more positive and just simple. This idea of consuming such high volume of protein is not something I have been able to get behind as the data and facts say a human can only consume so much before it just is excreted by the body..but yet I have been eating anywhere for 150 to 180 grams..now the process is simpler..more normal approach to protein, which opens up food choices, which reduces stress about eating, which improves happiness, which makes you feel inspired to continue. He has also debunked such strictness to numbers, but instead educated on balance for the week, which again sets you up to feel positive about enjoying a meal or drinks out because you accounted for it earlier in the wk vs feeling like a splurge puts me off track and may as well just continue down a bad path. His strength training has also been very individualized! He watches my form on videos, gives me focused ways of progression and isn't about always increasing wt. He tells me to increase reps or form 1st then wt. He has literally helped me climb a mountain! I recently summited Pikes Peak in CO..I have been training and been working on macros for 3 yrs prior to joining Conners team, but he definitely helped me achieve this goal!”

“My coach listened to my goals ( fat loss ) and came up with the macros to make it happen , Rachel was kind and sympathetic and made me realise that having days out , holidays and special occasions were all achievable during my journey , she’s given me the knowledge to carry on alone and hopefully when I’ve saved enough again I can come back to her and do a training block”
“Brittany was an awesome coach. I had just under 20 pounds to lose. I had been lurking on the site for a few years and tried a bit on my own. That helped me to get used to tracking food and regularly strength train, but I just wasn't successful on my own. As a short, menopausal woman who can't eat much high volume food (I had my colon removed as a teen and have had to limit fiber most of my life), I felt like the deck was stacked against me. With Brittany's guidance on setting my macros, tracking more accurately, and getting more steps, I was able lose nearly 20 pounds in four months, and then Brittany helped me make the shift to maintenance. She gave me invaluable tips and and unwavering support. I also had two minor surgeries during my stint with coaching, and she helped me navigate through those recoveries. No matter what obstacles you are encountering, a Macros Inc. coach can help you achieve your goals.”
“Apprehensive and nervous when I signed up for nutrition coaching. I was matched with Patricia who is a perfect coach for me. I was finally ready to open up, and ask for help and guidance, though not real comfortable. She listened to me and we ser up a realistic plan to address my issues with food and help me meet my goals. She has become a good friend, cheerleader, counselor, educator, sounding board, motivator, and accountability buddy. She is fast to respond if I need her and when I'm unusually quiet, she checks in on me.
I have lost weight slowly, but in the process I have developed a healthy relationship with food and have lost several inches with Patricia's help. I initially signed up for 6 months, but early on I realized that I wanted a year with Patricia. I am so happy with my progress so far and I look forward to to what I will be able to achieve in the next few months.”

“I have benefited greatly from coaching. When I signed up it was the last chance I was giving myself. I've tried it all and I was going all in and committing and if it didn't work then I would know that I had done all I could and would just be me. It wasn't easy and there were tears shed but the part I've missed all my life is coaching. I never knew how much I needed just one person in my corner that was focused on me and what I needed even when I didn't know I needed it. I have no words for the changes in my life that Coach Keshia has helped me with. Number one she has become my friend that even though we have never met truly cares for me like we have been friends for life. She has been the shoulder I needed to cry on and the strong supportive coach to tell me the things I needed to hear even when I didn't want to hear them. I have achieved almost all the goals I had for myself. I'm not sure I'm prepared to go into as much as a deficit as I need to fully achieve what I would like to achieve and Keshia has helped me understand that is ok too. I am sad to end coaching because I will miss her so much but I do feel I'm in a place that I can maintain on my own with all the tools she has given me. Once I set some new goals I will be back.
If everyone could have a Keshia in their corner they could reach their goals. My life (not just my body) has improved because of her knowledge in fitness and nutrition and life in general.”
“I had a great experience with my Macros Inc Coach, Taylor. She was able to teach me so much about how to use the tracking app, gave me advice on how to manage eating meals out, and even how to continue my progress while on vacation. And I took a lot of trips over the 8 months that I was working with Taylor. Yet I was able to make steady progress and lose 25 lbs and then move into maintenance for over 2 months. I am really happy with my progress and hightly recommend Macros Inc Coaching!”
“Coaching has been so worth it for me. It was a weird experience at first because logically I knew a lot of what my coach presented to me but executing it was a whole different story. The accountability, advice and knowledge that my coach has shown me is invaluable. Coaching is officially taking me to a place with my body and mind that I didn’t know I could get to.”
“Ally is amazing! She is pushing me through some resistance to habit changes and really helping me look in the mirror and take note of some patterns that may not serve me.”
“I believe that the coaching was too focused on "calories in vs calories out". For many folks who have experienced trauma, mental illness, and cultural differences, this mindset does not apply. There are several factors that impact weight loss outside of the calories you take in and burn. Some folks have disabilities (some invisible) that prevent them from walking 10000+ steps a day. Some folks have illnesses where many foods cannot be consumed. There are many factors that were not considered during my coaching experience.”
Hi Chelsea! Absolutely valid points here. Coaching should be about a lot more than just calories in vs calories out. That is of course the ultimate determining factor in weight loss, but how one goes about managing their intake is where personal factors absolutely need to be taken into consideration. Lifestyle factors such as physical limitations, disabilities, aversions to certain approaches, personal history, and many others need to be considered when aiming to get someone's calorie expenditure to exceed their calorie intake.
It sounds like we missed some opportunities here, and for that I apologize! I do plan to take a look into your coaching experience personally, and I'll be looking to see where we missed things, where the gaps were, and how we could have better helped or guided you.
If you're ever willing to give us another shot, I'm confident we can take all of this as a learning lesson and make sure you have a better experience the next time around. Should you ever choose to grant us a 2nd opportunity, you can contact me personally at dylan@macrosinc.net. I'm the head of our client experience here at Macros Inc and I would see to it personally that we get you matched with a coach and provide them with all of the context here so that we can guide you better going forward.
I appreciate you taking the time to write this and thank you for the honest review! If there's anything else you'd like to add or any other comments you want to provide, my inbox is always open.
“I have really enjoyed having Razieh for a coach. She is has a lot of knowledge about nutrition and physical fitness and is able to give me great ideas every week on how to improve myself. She is very encouraging and kind. She takes time to look through my food logs and make insightful suggestions. She is a great coach!”
“Razi is amazing! She has been so patient with my pace, but keeps me on track when I waiver from the plan. I know you only get the results when you put the work in, but having this accountability has kept me from making my situation worse. I have lost about 25 pounds since hiring a coach and am grateful for the group information and the individual coaching!”
“Oh my goodness, so many wonderful things I can say about Melody! She is a wealth of information and suggestions, great insights, funny, kind, very responsive and helpful. She is a great support system and someone great to lean on when you’re going through something tough. I find her genuine and fun. She is also a straight shooter, which I love! I feel so fortunate to have had her as a coach.”
“I have been a client for one year - primarily nutrition coaching and some complete coaching. Overall good experience so far. My coach, Melody, is very encouraging and easy to work with.”
“Very thorough experience. Everyone I was in contact with, from customer support to my coach, was very professional and responded promptly to any questions. Very solid experience. After taking a break I intend to come back!”
