“My coach was a very nice person and I liked her. As far as results, mine were minimal and I think that’s because a one size approach doesn’t work for everyone. I am in my mid 40s, had a high amount of ongoing stress due to divorce and measuring macros was not going to work for me. I have since moved on, am working closely with someone who has had a holistic approach to overall health and have lost 15 lbs and counting. Macros can work for some but given the environmental things going on in my life I needed a different approach.”
Hi Jeannie! Appreciate the review and the honesty here.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head - there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach. In your case with the stress you're under personally, our job should have been to help you find a solution that works around your challenges, something that fits into your daily routine. No sense in trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. If our initial approach doesn't work, it's on us to help find a different way, and we keep doing that until we find something sustainable and practical for your circumstances. I sincerely apologize if we were't able to do that.
I am SUPER happy to hear that you're down 15 lbs! It sounds like you've found something sustainable and I wish you continued success with that!
I will look into this situation personally and just see what we could have done better, and ultimately apply that to our continued education for our coaching team.
If there's ever a time you want to contact me personally, or if you need anything from us in the future, shoot me an email at dylan@macrosinc.net and I'll be happy to help.
Thank you again!
“I enjoyed my experience. I felt like my coach heard what I was saying and took the time to help me with my obstacles. I learned a lot from this experience and had good results.”
“Before I started with my coach Brittany I had been tracking macros on my own for about a year. I worked out regularly but felt like I wasn’t really making any progress anymore. She helped me go through a deficit phase to look leaner and reveal the muscle I had that was hidden. I then started a progressive bulk/muscle building phase for about the past six months. I needed to start doing different exercises with heavier weights at a regular gym in order to progress further. She helped me get out of my comfort zone and take on new machines and exercises. I am so happy with where I am currently and am excited to keep progressing more. In the deficit I lost about 10 pounds and since then I have regained about 7 of those pounds. I see that change on the scale however I don’t see the change in the way I look with my weight increasing. I feel like I am still leaner and more muscular which is what I was trying to achieve. The scale can be a scary thing but I have seen how you can change your body composition regardless of what the scale says. I am so happy I made the decision to start working with a coach! Besides building muscle I have also found a new love for vegetables, conquered my fear of the smith machine and increased my confidence!”
“This experience has far exceeded my expectations. The value received for the cost is worth every dollar. My coach consistently shows up for me with encourangement, extensive knowledge and compassion. I can tell she values her clients and truly wants to see people's lives improve.”
“Weight control has always been a challenge for me. For the past 20 years every January my new year’s goals would include “lose weight, so my pants fit”. I have been successful in the past but naive to what creates changing success. The doom of the yo yo effect, of weight control has also haunted me like so many other.
I was introduced to Scott Newton via my wife and over the past 12 months he has coached and guided me to a completely different level of success.
We have set sustainable goals, achieved goals, re focused and re challenged. To date I have transformed my body removing 30kg (66.15 pounds) of weight on the scales. I have Condensed my “obsess range” fat percentage, into 9.3 overall fat percentage and only losing a very small amount of muscle from my structure.
I have a completely different view on exercise, nutrition, and have created a sustainable disciple with the help of my coach Scott.
I will also admit if I didn’t have a coach to challenge me, I would have given up at the first Hurdle.”
“I had a great experience with macros and my coach. He did daily check ins with me and was quick to answer questions and provide support when needed. My goal was to lose 10 pounds and I reached that goal fairly quickly. I have been lifting weight now and adding more muscle. I would recommend the program and my coach.”
“Lala is great coach. She have provided guidance and support on my food choices and counting macros. I would recommend her to friends! she is quick in answering questions and take her time to explain to me or create a video on how to use the app.”
“I love my coach! I have NOT been the easiest client. Back and forth, up and down.........which I know the coaches at Macros are well versed in. Anna is my person for sure and I feel fortunate to have been matched with her!”
“Eugene has been a great support to me. I have dabbled in counting macros before but truly did not understand how to make it sustainable for all the curve balls and variety life brings. I refuse to take a scale with me so learning how to estimate and adapt on the fly was critical for me. I have continued to work out as I have always have but my coach adjusted my movement goals and macros to help me reach be successful. I know most of the work was on me actually doing and implementing what he said but like I said I have been spinning my wheels for months. The checking in and accountablility has been critical as it keeps me on track and requires me to preplan and consider upcoming differences in my eating for the week. The first month was the toughest as I was having to use the app which was so different from what I had been using. I was able to reach out and voice my frustration and Eugene helped me refocus and recognize that I don't have to be perfect from day one. It gave me some grace to learn and implemenet the changes week by week with his guidance. The materials he has supplied for me to read or watch have given me tips to implement everyday. I remember the first time I went out to eat and I had preplanned what I would have and then upon arrival the restaurant was closed. I sort of panicked and then refocused on what I could have to get hit protein and then went from there. Surprisingly I didn't overdo it and still managed to lose a little weight the next morning. I knew after than I was progressing to a more sustainable lifestyle and was really happy I took the leap to hire a coach. The most important part is how I feel. I have such high sustained energy throughout the day. My joints do not hurt like they did before, my clothes are so comfortable or almost big on me now. I just feel like a new person in such a short time it is incredible to me. This whole process reminds me of how quickly things can turn around with consistency and the right guidance.”
“I joined macros Inc during the Black Friday promo. I had lost a significant amount of weight but needed extra accountability and expertise to help me take it to the next level. I’ve been working with my coach for about 8 weeks and am seeing fantastic progress. I have confidence for the first time that I’ll be able to hit my goals and not get stuck!”
