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.

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.

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 helped me lose the last 15 pounds I needed to get off after yo-yo dieting for about a year after having my 2nd child. She educated me on managing and tracking food, portions and macros (which was foreign to me). She helped me understand that I need to lift and gain strength. I can’t tell you how much I learned from her. It was an invaluable experience and I have never felt better. I love lifting, I love NOT getting on the elliptical for 40 minutes at a time everyday getting nowhere and I love that I know how to manage my fitness now! Life got in the way sometimes and she was very supportive helping me find a balance between family, fitness and work.
