I can’t deny, I am looking pretty good these days, but I FEEL so much stronger. And I don’t even mean with my barbell (although I am stronger in that way, too). I just feel on the whole, as a person, in terms of stability and confidence - so much improvement.

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.

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.
