“Great progress followed by a lull but hoping to get my butt back in gear to keep working toward my goal! I love the support and understanding (and accountability) I get from my coach!”
“I am so thrilled with coaching. It has helped me so much with my nutrition and exercise. I am so much stronger and feel better with every day activities.”
“I am so grateful for this page and community! You all have given me the tools to change myself inside and out without some "miracle pill or plan" and you are willing to do it for FREE!! I joined this page and knew NOTHING about macros and thought it was too time-consuming and intimidating for me. I played with it and worked at it at my own pace for a year and lost some weight and decided to try coaching to see if I could get myself to the finish line for once in my life! Thanks to Ashley, my coach, and my hard work I did it!! I not only reached my goal of being under 110, I surpassed it and got to my ultimate goal of 105!! I have maintained it and now I need to get my training on track and get through the holidays without gaining weight (this is the time of year I struggle with the most). Ashley has gotten me through some really hard things in my life by just being there and listening to my woes and obstacles and I have come through them without self sabotaging like I have in the past. Thank you for all that you guys do and being amazing at it!”
“Thrilled with Coach B's guidance! Her patience and insightful feedback have elevated my nutrition and fitness journey. Her training plans are top-notch, and the results speak volumes – my muscles have never been more visible. Looking forward to my ongoing journey with her. Highly recommend!”
“i've been a member of Macros Inc for a few years now and worked with Kade and Catharine. I have been extremely happy with both!!! I will be a member for life!”
“I couldn’t be any happier with my experience with Macros Inc. I love my coach and she was definitely a perfect fit for what I need. I would recommend Macros Inc to anyone that is looking to take control of their lives with nutrition and/or fitness”
“I’ve been a nutrition client for a year now and have lost 53lbs. I’ve been taught how to make this a way of life as opposed to another fad diet. It’s made me a new, more confident person and I’m not looking to stop anytime soon!”
“I always felt like a bit of an outcast because my goal was never to be skinny or get down to a specific weight or body fat percentage. My goal was to get my blood levels into normal range, increase strength and get my knees to stop hurting and with your help, I was able to achieve all three of these goals. In addition, I discovered a passion for lifting heavy things :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for your confidence in me since I didn't have it in myself! Thank you for teaching me about food and helping me get off my lifelong "diet" mentality. I still have my Post-it on my desk that says "Move more, Eat more" and that is my new life motto :) Thank you for pushing me in my lifting...I ended with 125RDL, 95Bench and 85squat all for reps. I will continue to work on these!”
“Conner is hands down the best coach. Extremely knowledgeable, and expert in the field for sure. It was fun bouncing ideas back and forth as he alway brought experience and science in to the conversation which helped make the best decisions for me. Even on the worst day of my life and the days to follow when my brother passed he always seemed to have the best things to say and their was no pressure but the things he did say helped me to continue to make the best choices. I will always keep all the knowledge that I have learned from Conner close so that I will continue to make the best and healthiest future for me. My goal was healthy and strong, physically and mentally I met this because I gave myself 100% more than I didn’t because of Conner. Thank you.”
“I started endurance coaching with Macros Inc. in May 2022 with a goal of completing my first marathon. I had just completed a 1/2 marathon and wanted to go for a full marathon. I was paired with coach Jenny Evans. Coach Jen not only helped me strengthen my body for a marathon she taught me how to properly fuel for the marathon and fuel for the training along the way. With the help of Coach Jen, I finished my first full marathon in October 2022! Jen has become a good friend, someone that has taught me to overcome mental obstacles and really taught me how to eat to feel good, lose weight and fuel my body. I love her strength workouts and she knows when to push me and when I need to give myself some grace. I highly recommend Macros Inc. to friends and family! Coach Jen you are amazing and have impacted my life in such a positive way, thank you!!”
“It has been a great 6 months the first week. I will admit the app drove me nuts at first. However, Melody was helpful and the macros support team assisted me in resolving the human error and learning the technology. I did not realize how much my food thoughts how to eat what to eat etc badly warped. Melody did a great job in developing a healthy relationship with food. Especially no food is BAD food. I came into this thinking I just needed to understand macros and how to fuel my body. However, I have gained so much confidence in my food choices, and when and how much to eat. My goal is to eventually compete in a fitness competition. Melody's past and present experiences with competitions gave me a birds-eye view of what I didn't know or how much I have to eat and how to not go down the rabbit hole many ladies looking to compete develop eating aversions or even eating disorders.
I suffered a couple of minor life ups and downs during our 6 months and she helped me handle them without going to food for comfort. She also helped me when work went wacko and how to tackle some things and tools and tricks to overcome the frustrations sometimes by listening and sometimes offering advice.
I also suffered a back and major foot injury during our time and she also cheered me on and helped me overcome both including offering some different stretches to help from reinjuring or to stretch before a new machine or exercise I was using so I could stay on top of my goals.
I have learned to intuitively eat instead of being stuck to the app and was able to complete the program by giving up alcohol for most of the program helping to lose the weight that wasn't moving on scale.
Another great tool was "Be a squirrel pack food everywhere." which introduced me to some freeze-dried options for food to take with me or have on hand when I didn't have access to kitchen.
I came here hoping to get to 155 but I am at 160 and really happy that I enjoy food now and killed my sweet tooth. I have referred so many people to Macrosinc already and will continue. Once I get through my food injury and can start my next goal to gain and then a cut I will be back. I owe 1/2 my success to Melody and the other to my local personal trainer I would not be where I am today a year and 2 months after I started my journey at first on my own to set a habit to then put the next two important tools in play. Im so grateful for my coach she was AMAZING!!!”
“My coaching experience with coach Dani Smith was absolutely amazing and life-changing!
What it was like before coaching:
I came to MI a year after leaving a very rigid 12-step program for eating disorders. I spent 8 years in that program after a lifetime bouncing between yo-yo dieting and binge eating. For 8 years I hadn’t eaten sugar of any kind and had followed a very prescribed eating plan while doing a lot of work on myself with the 12-steps until I felt ready to venture out on my own.
I was no longer bingeing but was terrified of the scale.
I was perfectionistic about food and still had a lot of beliefs about good food/bad food = me being good or bad.
I was over-exercising, afraid of gaining weight and wasn’t allowing myself rest days.
I was terrified of the scale. I wasn’t overweight, I just needed help figuring out how much and what kind of food and exercise was right for my body.
What happened:
I got assigned Dani Smith as my coach and I knew from our first conversation that she was exactly the right coach for me. She reviewed my history, we discussed my goals and she began coaching me through a year of huge growth and changes around food, exercise and life.
Dani is so much more than a nutrition coach and personal trainer. She is intuitive, gentle, kind, and wise. Her “life coaching” skills have helped me as much or more than the nutrition and fitness coaching, especially through my surprising ADHD diagnosis and some other medical issues and life changes.
As a fitness coach (I did complete coaching for 3 months of the year together), Dani guided me towards increasing my daily steps from an average of 3K to 9K+, answered all my questions, designed strength training workouts for me, encouraged my love of Pilates Reformer workouts, and helped me find balance with strength, cardio, mobility, and taking actual rest days.
As a nutrition coach, Dani helped me master healthy, enjoyable eating while tracking Macros, and how to apply the 80/20 rule. Then she gradually nudged me towards intuitive, mindful eating, even though I was resistant because it was very scary to me. In the process, I learned to stop criminalizing and demonizing foods and getting rid of the all-or-nothing mindset.
What it’s like now:
The scale is my friend now, no more terror. I weigh daily and track it.
My weight has stabilized at a slightly lower weight that looks great on me. My body is stronger, fitter and leaner than it’s been since I was in my early 30s. No more dysmorphia; I’m at last happy with my body (despite the aches, pains and wrinkles that come with being 75 lol).
I have food freedom: I can keep treats in the house and can eat one reasonable serving of a donut instead of a bag of donuts. I enjoy eating my simple, fresh, healthy meals but also allow myself a small dessert each night.
I have been able to willingly alter my diet to meet some new medical needs, letting go of caffeine and cutting way back on saturated fats and red meat, without it feeling like a diet or restriction that I have to rebel against like I used to.
I have skills and knowledge to go forward on my own now after a wonderful year together. I’m grateful to know that if I need a refresher, Dani and MI will be there to help me get back on track.”
“Tessa has been very involved and engaged even when I was definitely not. I tried to give up and Tessa wouldn’t let me! She helped encourage me to get back to tracking macros and going back to the gym by helping me to celebrate every seemingly small win and really emphasizing how that 1% improvement each day really stacks up. I’ve learnt so much and really reframed my mindset about my health!”
“I just reached my 1st anniversary with Macros Inc. and my coach Rachel. I haven't regretted it one bit. I had put on 40 pounds on my 5ft. 2in frame (post-menopausal) struggling with alcohol addiction (now 4 years sober) and then binge eating. I tried My Fitness Pal, low carb, and Noom, but nothing worked for me. Having accountability, guidance and support from a coach makes all the difference in the world. The weighing and tracking seemed daunting at first and I delayed signing up for a couple of months because of this. That was a big mistake because I caught on quickly and it was not as hard as it seemed. Rachel was the perfect match for me as she gently guided me to get more steps in and add more vegetable servings to my meals and I began to feel so much better. And most importantly stopped binging. I have reached my goal of 40 lbs lost and am moving to maintenance today, hooray!! Couldn't have done it without Rachel and Macros Inc.!!”
