Hey Lori! I'm sorry to hear this! Could you shoot me an email and let me know why? I'd love to look into this for you but will need some context first so I can see where we need to improve. My email is dylan@macrosinc.net
“Ok but a bit over-priced for mostly repetitive automated emails. Felt mostly like an AI coach. Much better for nutrition coaching than strength training. Beware the long term commitment to save $10 a month—they are inflexible if your life circumstances change significantly.”
Hi Luke! Thank you for the honesty here. Our coaches don't use any automations or automated emails, so it's concerning that this is the impression we've given you, and I apologize if that's the case. If there was a life issue or circumstance that popped up during your coaching, we can definitely find a suitable solution for you. In any case, to me it sounds like there's an opportunity for me to look into the messages you were receiving and see where it felt like an automated message. If we didn't feel personalized enough, that's 100% on us, because it's always a human being sending you messages and emails. I'll take a look into this, and I appreciate your honest review.
If you need anything else or you'd like to share any additional thoughts or suggestions, I'm available anytime at dylan@macrosinc.net
Really sorry to hear this, Jen! One of the things we always try to encourage is frequent communication with your coach, and that you ask a lot of questions. The more our clients reach out to their coach, the more questions they ask, the more knowledge & education we're able to impart on them so they can know the things they're wanting to know.
That isn't to say you were not doing this, to be clear. We simply encourage as much learning as possible when or if someone feels like they're not learning the things they want to know, and so that's why communication is so imperative to success in coaching.
I will look into this and see what we could have done better on our end! I really don't anyone to ever walk away feeling like they didn't get the knowledge they were looking for, so again I'm sorry you felt this was the case for you! There must be something we could have done better, and that's what I'll look into and make sure we strive to do.
If you ever want to contact me personally or share more, I'm available at dylan@macrosinc.net
“Brooke was the perfect coaching fit for me. She was super motivating, responsive, outgoing, informative, and just plain FUN. She gave me tough love, she gave me encouragement, she gave me facts when I asked for them. Plus she lives in Wisconsin, like me, so it was fun to have that in common. Brooke rocks and I would recommend her infinitely!”
“Started with Macros Inc as I was feeling a little lost on my weight loss journey and felt like I needed some expert help when it came to nutrition. I’ve always enjoyed working out, but I knew changing my diet was going to be the key to success. I was paired with Catharine and instantly knew she was there to help me.
I started losing weight from the first week and had steady and consistent weight loss each week.
Catharine helped change my thoughts about food and taught me how to eat again after many years of not really understanding the true aspects of weight loss. After months of education and relearning how to make better food choices I feel so much more confident day to day. Over and above my weight loss I now have a healthy set of tools to help navigate day to day activities and challenges that come up.
We share wins, struggles, ups and downs and Catharine is always in my corner cheering me on, supporting and guiding me every step of the way.”
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Steven, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative. From the initial consultation to our ongoing sessions, Steve has consistently demonstrated exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for my well-being.”
“I could not thank Connor enough for all the support he’s given me over the last 4 months. He’s been patient, supportive & was always there for me whenever I needed it! Going into coaching I expected to get some support & guidance on nutrition but I didn’t expect to heal my relationship with the scales & food along the way. It’s more than I could’ve asked for and I feel well prepared to continue my weightloss journey! I couldn’t recommend connor enough, forever grateful! 🫶🏼”
“I can’t even describe it. I have been watching Macros Inc Facebook page for years. Finally decided to sign up. And right when I signed up, my life just completely gave it to me. More hurdles than I’ve ever been over in the last seven months! My house was under construction the whole time, and there were other issues, but I will save those for myself. But with Tessa’s help and support, and someone there to constantly guide me, The success has been immeasurable. The best part is, she never judged me. She just always encouraged me. She always pushed me with the belief that we aren’t striving for perfection. So I tried to get my protein in and I tried to get a few workouts in here and there. My life was by no means normal the last seven months, but the other day, Some jeans I have not been able to button, they buttoned right up. So so thankful for her support!”
“I came into Macros Inc after giving up on following Keto since the rigidity of that diet had me repeatedly "falling off the wagon", feeling guilty/ashamed/frustrated, just to restart Keto and re-enter that vicious cycle. I knew something had to change and that my relationship with food needed to improve. I was able to completely overhaul my perceptions of 'good" and "bad" foods and heal my relationship with food with the help of my nutritional coach (Taylor) through Macros Inc. Together we were able to identify the hurdles setting me back in me reaching some of my goals. I no longer step on the scale and let the reading dictate what day I am going to have. I have learned that no foods are off limits and that alone is SO LIBERATING! The new mindset that I have developed through nutritional coaching now allows me to maneuver any situation I find myself in. I have seen an amazing physical transformation through nutritional coaching, but the biggest transformation has been mental. My way of eating is no longer something that I fret about. It no longer makes me feel guilty or anxious. If your current way of eating is making you feel this way, I would highly recommend giving nutritional coaching a try because on the other end is FOOD FREEDOM!
I cannot say enough great things about my amazing coach Taylor, and Macros Inc for improving my quality of life. I have tried other coaching companies and the resources, accountability, and support you have through Macros Inc is unmatched by far.”
“My coach, Andrew, has helped me reach goals I haven’t been able to reach in years with other programs. The Macros Inc approach is sustainable and very supportive. It cuts out all the “diet” noise and focuses on effective changes. They truly meet you where you are and encourage and reinforce the tools needed to get you there. In less than 3 months I’m down 25 pounds and counting. Yes, I’ve made changes but nothing unsustainable. With other programs I’ve given up before I ever met my goal because it was just too hard and restrictive. This time is different! I see myself meeting a huge goal and then setting a new one. Couldn’t be more excited with my progress and help from the groups and Coach Andrew!!”
“I started coaching at the end of 2021. My coach is Taylor Ingebritsen and she was amazing! Super supportive and helped me fix my relationship with food. I did great at the beginning and made a few mistakes but after long conversations with Taylor I managed to create new habits. I feel so much better and so much more comfortable in my body. I am so happy I was part of coaching with macros inc.”
“Having the support of my Macros Inc. coach for eight months now has been such a game-changer in my health journey. Whereas I expected help tracking my nutrition, I did not anticipate the mental growth I would go through. I am in a better place and feel incredibly secure with my future because I have such a phenomenal nutrition coach. She is the best!”
“I am a long-distance runner, and unlike many runners, I tend to overeat when training for long distances. Over the past couple of years, this has led to weight gain. I reached a point where I couldn’t manage it on my own, and I wanted to return to a healthy weight and feel proud of my work.
In February of this year, I decided to get a coach and was matched with Anna. I’m so happy I did. Since then, I’ve lost 25 pounds and seen significant reductions in my measurements. Even though I’ve already met my weight loss goal, I continue to see improvements.
Anna has taught me the right amount of food I need to eat and that it’s okay to feel hunger at times. I don’t have to constantly try to stay ahead of it. She has been encouraging and in my corner every step of the way. Thanks to her guidance, I feel healthier and more confident as a runner.”
“Coach Brittany is amazing! I have never been healthier, stronger and fitter (both physically and mentally)! I am grateful for her unwavering support, knowledge and inspiration.”
“I did not have a really good experience with my coaching, I honestly feel like it caused more stress than anything. I had told my coach a few times that I had issues with weighing everyday, I got to the point where i fixated so much on the number and it going up and then to find out I was On top of that I had tracked all my recipes wrong for 2 months before I was told I wasnt tracking them right. I feel like I just wasted 2 months and $338. I got to the point where I was so stressed out over the scale going up and trying to use the MM+ app correctly so I felt defeated and just gave up. I have done macro tracking with a different company and had a completely different experience it was postive and I had great results so im not really for sure what the disconnect is, but I ended up frustrated and had to stop for my own sanity. And in the end I weigh more now than when I started.”
Hey Ashley. Thanks for the honesty here. I'm bummed to hear this. I'm going to have to look into this and figure out where we went wrong and what we should have done differently. I don't ever want to hear someone feels like they wasted their money or didn't benefit from having a coach. The whole point of hiring a coach is supposed to be to guide you to your goals and help you get far beyond where you were when you started. Doesn't sound like that happened this time, and I'm really sorry.
I'll be doing a deeper dive into your situation and see what opportunities we have for improvement and where we need to do better. And if there's ever a chance you'd be willing to try coaching again, please let me know. I'm always confident there's something for us to learn after looking into a negative experience, so I'm sure we can do better next time around if you're open to that.
You can also contact me personally at any time if there's ever anything else you'd like to share. My email is dylan@macrosinc.net
Thank you!
“Steve was a great coach. I wanted data driven tips, accountability and support, and Steve provided all of that. I’ve been tracking for a few years and consider myself fairly experienced, but Steve answered all the lingering questions I had and helped with suggestions to help meet my protein each day using foods I enjoy.”
“Coaching was great to have someone who was there to share their knowledge, support, and a different view from what I was seeing. Taylor I. was fantastic at helping me to learn to adapt through the different seasons of my life and giving me ideas to overcome obstacles. She knew when to get me to push harder and when I needed to pull back. She was a great cheerleader and was always there to answer my questions. Her coaching gave me a better relationship with nutrition, how to progress my workouts, better tools to organize my day to day, and the understanding that nothing is going to go perfectly all the time, but that consistency will always win. I learned a ton and had an awesome experience.”
