I can't say enough good things about Black Iron, both the training and the nutrition coaching, but I especially want to rave about my coach, Amanda. She is such a phenomenal coach—she knows when to push, and she knows when to pull back.

The past two years of working with Coach Amanda May have been so awesome. I’ve been in both Performance and Lifestyle Nutrition Coaching, running ultramarathons while lifting heavy shit along the way, and Amanda has been right there with me, ready to help me pivot and adjust as needed when my training or life demanded it.

When I got pregnant for the second time, I found incredible support in the P&P program! Coach Nicole helped ensure I was getting enough calories and moving in the right ways. Postpartum was a completely different experience compared to my first, and Nicole guided me through the new challenges I faced.

I am now feeling stronger and more confident with my body and how it operates during certain times, especially when I am not feeling my best. The amount of encouragement I received throughout this process was relieving. I would recommend BIN for anyone.

I’ve lost nearly 15 pounds and had so many achievements in the gym, like PRs & RXing workouts I never thought I could. I have a healthier relationship with food, but most importantly I can say that I truly love myself.

From the beginning, BIN has given me a true sense of what I need to be eating to fuel my body. Because I have been with BIN for a while, my goals, life circumstances and priorities have changed, and BIN has supported me every step of the way. A significant milestone in this journey, under the guidance of my coach Lauren at BIN, has been the restoration of my menstrual cycle.

Don’t waste anymore time debating on joining BIN. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made!! Find your program, find your coach and be ready to WOW yourself!

I absolutely love this company. I love the support and accountability my coach gives me. I love how honest and real all the coaches are. I’ve been a client with BIN since 2019 which was pre wedding, during my pregnancy in 2022 and postpartum in 2023.

Having a coach from Black Iron Nutrition made all the difference for me in this process. Anyone can track marcos, but having my coach Amanda there every week to encourage me and celebrate the little wins is exactly what i needed to start restoring a healthy relationship with food.

Chris just rocks. Not only is his knowledge level out of this world, he is approachable and down to earth. I was a bit apprehensive having a male coach at first but my woes were erased immediately.

I felt comfortable sharing any issues I was having and not only did he have creative solutions to anything and everything, he gently asked questions until we figured out the root of the issue.

I had the best experience ever with Black Iron Nutrition and coach Carly! The knowledge that I received from being coached will last me a lifetime.

Eating better = feeling better = performing better = a better quality of life.

I am so grateful that I was able to find Ryann when I did. I had received nutrition coaching before, but this was different. Ryann focused on changing small habits, day by day - drinking more water, getting more steps in, etc. I lost 20 pounds and healed from a year-long lifting injury while I was working with her. I also started lifting again!

I started working with Chris to get some guidance around eating for maintenance and performance, followed by a small cut for a powerlifting meet, and then fueling for triathlon training - so to say he offered guidance and expertise along a wide spectrum of goals is an understatement!

I enjoyed this process so much- getting to understand my body and what works for me has been such a great experience. I truly believe everyone should invest in a year of tracking to figure out what works for them. I’ve hit PRs this last year that I didn’t think were possible, took 1st place in a competition, made it the furthest I have in the CF Open, and over the weekend ran 8 miles.

I started with BIN because I had tried all sorts of diets and found myself in a restrict-binge cycle I knew wasn’t healthy. I was obsessed with food and scared to gain weight, which I had. The first 6 months I lost 10 pounds, and my relationship with food was improved 10 fold. I’m so grateful to have had these coaches in my corner. They changed my mindset, and really gave me my life back.

To say that my coach has been a guiding factor in improving my health, my overall relationship with food and my food choices is an understatement. There were some tough love moments in the beginning where I was concentrating on tiny little measurements, not really seeing the overall picture and she had to keep me in check. I wasn’t eating enough of the RIGHT foods and she guided me through a reverse diet that had me eating more than I maybe ever have, all while seeing body composition changes, feeling good in the gym and feeling more myself in my body as a whole.

I came to Black Iron after several failed attempts at trying to lose some weight I had gained during the pandemic. The difference with BIN is that I ate at maintenance level for a few months before even going into a cut -- I had never done this before! In the process, I have learned so much and grew in ways I didn't know were possible. I have a better relationship with food and my body now and the knowledge to carry on toward my goals in a healthier way.

It has been nice to have a coach that understands what it is like to not fit in the gender norm and what that sometimes does to your head. It has been nice to have a balanced coach that has seen what has been working and that made me trust the process and not stress about that “nothing is happening” feeling. It has been nice to have a coach that understands habits and how that works with mental health. it has been a good year and I do recommend everyone to work with BIN in general and Emi specially if you are one of us. The queers that are trying to find their space in a weird world.

As my goals have changed from solely CrossFit performance to now bodybuilding and aesthetics, my coaches have been right alongside me, supporting me in making changes to begin seeing results. And with their help, I have been able to balance life better. While juggling a busy schedule as a college student, I am still seeing improvements in the gym weekly. Without BIN and my coaches, I don't think I would be where I am performance-wise, and most importantly, mentally.

My experience with BIN has been truly eye opening! I had a lot of support from my coach and I really learned to fuel my body appropriately for my workouts. As a result there were a lot of PRs on a lot of my lifts and metcon times. This was when I truly got to experience what it meant to eat for performance. This was so encouraging that I decided to do my first powerlifting competition.
