“I had a coach last year who helped me lose 10lbs in the 3 months I was signed up. She was good, but I always felt like I needed a little more in-depth coaching experience. This year when I signed up I specifically asked for a more hands-on coach to dig into my practices. I was paired with Eugene Coetzee, and at first I was concerned about the time difference since he's in South Africa and I'm in the USA. This was the best pairing I could've ever imagined! Eugene understands how all my issues (age, OA, Fibro) plays into this weight loss journey and is so encouraging of what I'm already doing and what I can push myself to do. He takes the time to look at my individual food choices, making suggestions on how to get the most 'bang for my buck', and reminding me to round out my meals the right way. I personally loved when he told me to work at "choosing more low calorie high volume foods" when I would've said EAT YOUR VEGGIES š¤£
The encouragement I get from Eugene is probably the most important factor in this relationship. I know I have the knowledge to eat and move to lose weight, but Eugene's gentle nudges are helping me doing all of that with the excitement and anticipation I've never experienced before. Well done Eugene! You've made a true believer out of me in needing coaching!!”
Hi Amy. This is pretty concerning, especially since we pride ourselves on the fact that the very foundation of our coaching is finding viable or alternative solutions for people. That's what makes our coaching so flexible. With that said, it looks like you were a client with us in 2022. A huge number of things have changed about our coaching in the last 2 years, many improvements, a ton of touches on personalization. It's hard to explain succinctly just how much our coaching has improved in so many areas.
We were pretty proud of our coaching in 2022, but we're exponentially more proud of our coaching now. We'd be happy to work with you again if you're ever interested so we can help you with your goals. Thank you for the review!
“Coach Tina was amazing. Even when I was not 100%committed, she was always there to get me back on track. She always knew exactly what I needed at the time. I highly recommend her and Macros Inc.”
“Deanna is quick to answer questions and provides data in response to daily journals and almost always gives me something to think about for the upcoming week.”
“Krista was amazing and always had good feedback, suggestions and resources. She was always positive and answered emails in a timely manner. Her encouragement was always appreciated and I felt I got a lot of good information from her. This was a good experience and I learned a great deal.”
“I joined Macros Inc. in the beginning of June 2023 at 181 lbs. A month later, my husband passed away after a brief illness. For most of my life, I was a "stress" or "emotional eater." Last summer and the months that followed were more than emotional and stressful, to say the least. My coach Brooke Orton was truly a life saver. She was patient, kind, helpful, informative and supportive. Over the past year, she helped me learn to focus on proteins, healthy fruits and vegetables, portion allocation and how to eat mindfully. Most importantly, she encouraged me to understand and accept all the emotions I was experiencing by losing my husband, and to allow myself some grace. Without this coaching support with Macros, Inc., I probably would have handled my life over the past year, with my former habits of stress eating. Instead, I'm 20 pounds lighter. I am better equipped to make sensible meal choices, in spite of anything else happening in my life, no matter how tragic or devastating. I can't say enough good things about how beneficial this coaching experience has been for me. Thank you, Brooke! I've included a before and after photo. (And yes, I enjoyed a big slice of carrot cake my friend made for my recent birthday!)”
“I have been a Macros Inc client on and off for the past 5 years. They have always been there for me when I needed them on my journey. You can do it alone, but why should you when you can work with an absolutely amazing team. The past 7 months have been absolutely groundbreaking for me. Iām at the lowest weight and strongest I have ever been-and itās been such a cool journey figuring out what is right for me. Iāve completely changed by relationship with food and actually enjoy my workouts now. Life changing!”
“I have always been an active person, playing sports all my life and loving the outdoors. Life got in the way, I became less active, depression kicked in. I let myself go. Then, about 7 years ago I saw a picture of myself and HATED what I saw. I was told about this group from a friend and my life was forever changed.
I started counting macros on my own about 7 years ago (off and on) and lost about 20lbs. I seesawed through this whole process on my own for about 5 years but was sick of gaining and losing the same 5 lbs, so I hired a coach - my first coach left after a year and I have been with Coach Garrett since. Although I havenāt lost much weight, I have lost about 20 inches and gained so much knowledge. The coaches here are not only a source for guidance but motivation, as well. They want us all to succeed, that is their job. The coaches teach you to be patient (and if anyone knows me, I am far from a patient person lol). This isnāt a quick fix - it is a lifestyle change. When you want it so bad, you find the time. You stop complaining about how hard it is. You realize the burden is temporary and will get easier. You stay consistent. You are not perfect. It starts to click and instead of being a hassle it becomes a habit. āNever give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.ā
Was it easy? Hell no. But hard work and dedication pay off. Macros changed my life and I am forever grateful for them and this great group of people! I am ready to spread my wings and try this on my own again!”
“I am working with Andrew and he has been fantastic! I had really, really bad habits and he has helped me to replace many of my bad habits with good habits. I went from not working out at all to working out 7 days a week. I increased my step count by about 3 times what it was before. I am eating a lot more fruits and vegetables than I was before. I was eating out two or three times a day and now Iām only eating out two or three times a week. I feel better, Iām losing weight, and Iām gaining confidence. I could not have done this on my own. Iām very grateful for the help and guidance Andrew has given me. I still have a long way to go to get to where I want to be, but Iām confident now that I can get there.”
“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 , sheās given me the knowledge to carry on alone and hopefully when Iāve 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.”
