“I have been with Macros Inc and Coach Colt for over a year. I cannot thank both Macros Inc and Coach Colt enough for their services, knowledge, availability, and resources they offer to everyone! I have asked just about every question imagineable to Coach Colt and he has a substantiated, reliable, understandable answer to every single question. I am so thankful to have the Macros team and Coach Colt on my journey!”
“I have had a great experience with my coaching at Macros inc. The information that they provide along with the Facebook page has taught me so much more about food and what it takes to make me feel good.”
“I was very hesitant going into my coaching, thinking long-term weight loss was never going to be something I was going to be able to accomplish. But, I am getting married in October and saw the Black Friday deal last November and thought I would give it a try since I had a good amount of time to try to feel better about myself for the wedding. I was completely blown away by my coaching experience and truly appreciate the support of my coach, Krista. I am ready to continue tracking and losing on my own so I can look and feel my best on my bid day, and Krista has helped me to get there!”
“My coaching experience has been a “game changer.” I was matched with Gina and the results I am achieving I know I couldn’t have realized without her coaching. I highly recommend that both the nutritional & training together to receive the best results.”
“I highly recommend Macros Inc coaching and nutrition - whether you’re new to macros or experienced. I need to fine-tune my nutrition and training to fit my lifestyle. Coach Garret helped me do that, by reminding me of my goals, sharing knowledge and new approaches and, having the tough conversations when necessary. I can’t recommend this program enough.”
“My experience using Macros Inc coach Candace, was excellent. She was thorough in understanding my needs, struggles, and strengths. Candace’s knowledge is deep of how the body works and when to push through the tough stuff. I gained so much wisdom from her coaching.”
“Having Nick as a coach is a great experience. In addition to being kind and patient, he is extremely knowledgeable in his field. As well as providing sound advice to help you achieve your goals, he possesses the ability to remind you to take care of yourself and to show yourself grace. Nick is an inspiration, demonstrating that it is possible to be successful while still maintaining a healthy balance in your life.”
“I've lost about ten pounds since I started six weeks ago. My coach, Rachel, is awesome! She is encouraging, but she also challenges me. In the past, I've lost weight much quicker than I am now, but I would gain some of it back - slowly. I'm vegan, but vegan food has calories too. What I needed was someone to teach me about proper nutrition. I discovered I was only getting 1/4 of the protein I need daily. Now, I don't feel hungry even at a moderate deficient, and my relationship with food has changed! Thank you!”
“Kelly Ann has been wonderful- she is kind and empathetic to my personal life and always finds ways to motivate me! She checks in and answers quickly!”
“I started coaching in December of 2021.
I have had 2 coaches at Macros Inc. I believe my first coach was let go due to not living up to the standards expected of Macros Inc.
coaching staff. So, even though I had to switch coaches abruptly it worked out excellent! My new coach and I mesh very well and he has been amazingly supportive! I can tell he genuinely cares, is passionate about what he does, and has extensive knowledge of both nutrition and training. I think the mosh refreshing thing is that my coach and all the coaches at Macros Inc. seem to understand that we are all human and life happens. Instead of being shamed for going off course they help find a work around or compromise that enables you to enjoy life while still working towards your goals.”
“Coach has been fine, she has answered my questions and shed light on some things I've wanted to discuss. For the amount I pay, I was hoping for some greater accountability. In my head thinking a coach would check in more regularly than just our weekly check ins.”
Hi Kim! Thank you for the review!
I'm glad you felt your coach was good and I'm glad to hear she was able to answer your questions, discuss things you wanted to discuss, and be helpful.
I hear you on the accountability part! One thing we really try to do is encourage our clients to reach out to their coach whenever they need. We want people to know we're here when you need us, anytime you have a question.
I sort of compare it to a doctor and their patient (not to imply we are doctors). The doctor will see their patient for a check-up, measure their vitals, their status, their progress on whatever they might be working toward, and then the doctor will schedule the next follow-up appointment and send the patient on their way, but the doctor is just a phone call away should the patient need anything before the next meeting.
It's a bit like that when it comes to our coaching. We check your progress, your food logs, your measurements, everything we use to gauge how you're progressing toward your goals, and then we give you advice/feedback to work on for the next week until your next check-in, but we're here for you in between check-ins if you need us, just a text or email away. And in between those weekly check-ins, if we don't hear from you via text or email, we'll send you a midweek message.
For a lot of people this is the accountability they're looking for, but I definitely understand some people need more than this, and in those cases we really ask that our clients reach out often so that we know what's on your mind, what you're needing help with, what you're struggling with, or any questions/concerns you have at any given moment.
There are some things you & your coach could do aside from the midweek check-ins and weekly check-ins, like structuring your days or your schedule in a way that reminds you to hit certain mini goals, or even something as simple as a reminder to do something specific, or NOT do something (ex. don't reach for the cupboards past 8pm if you're someone who struggles with late night eating for example).
Accountability comes in many forms and that's where we try to work with you to come up with a method that works best for you outside of your coach reaching out. This is especially important because your coach will not be there for you forever, and so it's really about setting our clients up for success for life after a coach.
Sorry for the long-winded reply but I hope this was helpful! It really looks & sounds like you and your coach have a good working relationship, and there are probably some areas in which we can do even better for you and improve on.
What I'd like to do is just give your coach a heads up and have her connect with you on perhaps some other ways of building the extra accountability you're looking for. I want you to succeed and smash all of your goals, and I know your coach does too! So it starts with us gaining a better understanding of what works best for you and how to really provide you with the most value possible.
Again I appreciate the honest review and thank you for trusting us with your health & nutrition! Your coach will be in touch!
“So great for accountability. Love the flexibility to work out at home and using my current equipment. My coach is excellent with answering Q rations and concerns and helping me with mind set and the long term goals.”
“After two C-sections and lifelong fast food, I started off with clean eating and aimless training (mostly cardio) in 2012. In the years following, I got certified to teach HIIT class and THOUGHT I was training well. I saw some progress, but nothing transformative and nothing resembling my true goals. I started my macros journey in 2021 doing nutrition only with Coach Heather. I noticed fabulous weight loss success throughout this time while still training on my own. A year later, I started with Coach Braden doing complete coaching with a structured weight lifting plan, progressive overload, and nutrition plan. I’ve noticed better results in the past 12 months with Braden than I have in the past 10 years. Braden focuses on my specific goals, alters my macros as needed, corrects form in my training, and provides insight on the “how” and “why” of each step. I am 45 years old and a mother of two, so I am BUSY. Setting aside less than two hours of my day to accomplish my goals is certainly doable and a choice I wanted to make. Braden is currently walking me through a 16 month building phase that will end January 1st. It was my biggest fear, but my largest goal to accomplish, and I’m doing it. I am 2.5 years in with MI, and not going anywhere!!”
“Coach Steve was very helpful with all my questions. He supported me throughout the whole process. Making the process really easy to follow and hit my goals.”
