Heather taught me how to go about health and fitness right. There are no quick fixes, magic pills, drop-20-pounds-in-a-week-and-keep-it-off plans which we all want to believe. She taught me patience and perseverance to overcome my messed up metabolism which was not easy. I really had to learn to trust the process. I was never terribly overweight but over the years of dieting repeatedly I learned I wasn’t eating enough calories and still not losing. So, I joined the GF2 Crew and built muscle, lost fat and increased my calories. It was the longest road ever but SO worth it.

Your blog/training download made me realize many, many things over the last couple months:

I was skinny fat for  a long time.  I was eating far too many carbs and not nearly enough protein, and thought cardio was the answer.  WRONG!!!  And sadly,  I am one of millions of women who tell a similar story.

Your info made me realize how important correct macros are to success, which was my main problem.  I always had the mental strength to dedicate time to exercise, and could control eating but I had no good guidance.  The REALLY funny thing is, I am eating more now that I have in YEARS. NO , the scale has only dropped about 1 pound, but , as you say, the mirror does not lie and you are right!

its only been 2 months, and look what I have accomplished, and that includes about 1 cheat meal a week. I actually made progress, so I am excited when I think about just keeping it up over the winter months.  I won’t panick about shorts season in April.

Basically, you have made me realize my goals are attainable and I don’t have to starve myself to lose my saddlebags!!! ANd when you see results, it is motivation to work out more!

Heather is the BEST! She is very communicative and intuitive. She knew how I was feeling each week during prep before I even told her. I have had other coaches and Heather was an “above and beyond” type of coach. She checked in with me mid-week, encouraged me, was there for my rants and worries. She always has a reason for choices or changes she made with well thought out answers to my questions so I understood what was going on. Once I had asked her about a pre-workout supplement and if it was worth my money. She went through every ingredient with me and showed me if they were effective amounts or not as well as links to studies showing whether or not they were even effective for a pre-workout supp. Who does that? She impressed me every step of the way. 

Heather is one if the most grounded and intuitive coaches I’ve worked with. Her ability to help create a custom meal and training plan to meet my dietary and injury-prone needs was a key to my success on stage taking first in both my figure comps in 2014. I look forward to working with her again at the National level.
