"It was truly a pleasure working with Coach Steven McDaniels. From our very first video call, I could tell he was caring, supportive, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to.\r\n\r\nAll my life, I\u2019ve been called \u201cskinny,\u201d and I often felt like something was wrong with me. I always wanted to gain weight, but no matter what I tried, it seemed impossible. My sister had previously tried Macros Inc and had great success, so I decided to give it a shot. I signed up in May with a clear goal: gain weight and build muscle.\r\n\r\nI\u2019ll admit, I\u2019m the kind of person who wants fast results. I thought I could achieve my goals in just a month, but this journey taught me that real change takes time, effort, and patience. I committed to strength training 3\u20134 times a week, added Pilates between sessions, and stayed about 80% consistent with my diet.\r\n\r\nThe journey wasn\u2019t always easy. Gaining weight and seeing physical changes brought mixed emotions. Sometimes, it was hard to accept the reflection in the mirror or the changes in my progress photos. But by week 12, everything clicked\u2014I saw a noticeable difference, and for the first time, I felt proud and happy with the results.\r\n\r\nI achieved my initial goal of gaining weight and building muscle, and I now feel excited for what\u2019s next. This is just the beginning of my fitness journey.\r\n\r\nI\u2019m incredibly grateful to Coach Steven McDaniels for his guidance, patience, and unwavering support. I truly couldn\u2019t have done this without him."

"Over the past four years, my journey with Macros Inc has been nothing short of transformative. Through six incredible coaches, each one brought something unique and powerful to my growth \u2014 not only in nutrition and fitness but in self-belief and possibility.\r\n\r\nCoach Brad Morgan was the first to lay the foundation, guiding me through the intricacies of nutrition\u2014teaching me how to balance a deficit, navigate macro breaks, and understand maintenance. With his support, I shed the final 7 pounds and built the stamina I needed for what came next. He met me where I was and created the perfect plan to help me grow.\r\n\r\nThen came Coach Ramona Moore, who elevated my journey to a new level. With her deep knowledge of endurance nutrition and marathon training, she helped me train for and complete my second and third marathons \u2014 and most remarkably, qualify for the Boston Marathon. At 57 years old, having only started running at age 49, this felt nothing short of a miracle. I would not have crossed that finish line \u2014 physically or mentally \u2014 without her belief in me.\r\n\r\nWhen Ramona transitioned into a new role, it was time to rise again, and that\u2019s when Coach Curb stepped in. A true powerhouse of wisdom, generosity, and dedication, he helped me chase down deeply personal goals as an endurance athlete. With his guidance, I achieved my marathon personal best \u2014 which, to my surprise, qualified me for three more World Major Marathons. His steady encouragement saw me through tough patches, both on the course and in life.\r\n\r\nAnd then, my final coach, the one whose impact will stay with me forever \u2014 Coach Nik Doria. Her blend of knowledge, compassion, and unshakeable belief in her clients is rare and extraordinary. I'll never forget our conversation about my 2025 goals. I shared my dream of running a 52-mile ultramarathon. She didn\u2019t flinch. She listened. She asked questions. She helped me believe. And then she built a plan that not only included that ultra, but two marathons along the way \u2014 all while honoring my injury history and showing me what it means to push hard *and* train smart.\r\n\r\nNik didn\u2019t place limits \u2014 she offered possibilities. And through that gift, I\u2019ve learned that I am stronger, more resilient, and more capable than I ever imagined. That belief fueled me to step into a new chapter: now a certified run coach myself. Inspired by every mentor who helped shape me, I\u2019m ready to spread my wings and soar.\r\n\r\nTo Brad, Ramona, Curb, and Nik \u2014 thank you. You are not just coaches. You are co-authors of my life\u2019s most adventurous chapter: \u201cThe Life and Wild Running Dreams of Laura.\u201d I am forever grateful.\r\n"
