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.

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.

I learned so much in the short amount of time working with my coach! She was very encouraging and supportive. She helped me learn to celebrate my victories and not be so hard on myself. I learned that I was not eating enough and how to portion out my macros. BIN and the personal coaching I had was instrumental in getting my nutrition into a healthy place and giving me amazing tools to use for life.

My main goal was to build up my physical confidence after having 2 babies 18 months apart. As a former collegiate athlete and current oh-so-average crossfiter, my body sometimes felt foreign. I’ve learned so much in such a short time. My check-ins with Carly have often felt like mini-therapy sessions.

Eating the most I ever have while maintaining over these past few weeks/months has blown my mind. It's definitely taught me that food is fuel and you need to fuel your body in order to be successful in whatever kind of training you're doing. I could not be more thankful for the flexibility and guidance BIN gives me, allowing me to work towards my goals while still enjoying life and making memories.

Is it expensive? Well... my medical bills are expensive. If this helps get my stuff under control, because it flew out of my hands and beyond my scope of practice - then no, I don't consider it expensive. It's a small price to pay for my health, and keep the need for medical procedures &/or medications at bay for a while longer.
