I’m really proud of the work Morgan and I did together. I was initially apprehensive about getting a nutrition coach because I’m a Type 1 Diabetic, and it felt like it might be an extra burden for a coach. During the initial intake, I distinctly remember Morgan saying, “I’m really excited to take on this challenge and learn about how I can help.” Not going to lie, it made me a little emotional to have someone view it that way.

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.

Working with Ryann has been a game-changer for my performance, body composition, and confidence. She guided me through a reverse diet, helped me build a healthy relationship with food, and provided expert nutrition strategies for both training and competition. Thanks to her, I’ve not only achieved my goals—I’ve exceeded them, feeling stronger and more empowered in every aspect of my life.

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 had meaningful, thorough, and thoughtful check-ins with Coach Ryann, who was never judgmental and always had a bunch of helpful tips, from de-stressing ideas to fueling and also building my mindset.

I wanted to maintain my nutrition, energy levels, and strength as I returned to riding, increased my training, and while traveling and competing in the Olympic Qualifying Series.

Not only did I achieve the weight loss goal we aimed for but I did so without compromising on athletic performance or sleep quality! Another unexpected win was learning a bit of intuitive eating as well so I don’t feel chained to tracking forever.

Having coach Whit in my corner for the hardest 3 months of training I’ve ever done was such a game changer for me, mentally and physically. The experience has taught me so much and I’m beyond grateful for the knowledge I can take forward into future training goals.

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.

This was my best performance ever for an Ironman 70.3! I took almost an hour off my total time for this PR and actually had FUN throughout the race.

Black Iron Nutrition took my athletic performance, as a weightlifter, to the next level. The amount of attention to detail and refining what I thought would be "enough," completely enhanced my ability to perform at a lower body weight.

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.

When I started working with Amanda, I quickly learned how to shift my mindset about nutrition and performance. Over the course of 3 months, my body transformed and I found myself feeling the strongest I have been thanks to both the nutrition and training programs.

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.
