My experience with Black Iron Nutrition has been amazing! I’ve been working with coach Amanda for a little more than a year and I could not be any happier with the results. She has literally changed my life. She's helped me push my body to new limits, both in running and in the weight room, and I'm now in the best shape of my life.

Carlos came to Black Iron Nutritoin with the goal of reducing body fat and improving his performance in the gym (Crossfit). He had some serious time commitments as he was studying for his engineering license, but he really committed and hit the ground running on the process. Coach Chris talks about the strategies they focused on that would include minimal additional stress and time commitment.

18 months ago, I decided it was time for a change. My training was going well but I wasn’t feeling the response I wanted from the work I was putting in. I felt tired and sluggish, and I knew that nutrition was the missing piece to the puzzle.

My experience has been so amazing! I have done two 3 month cycles with Black Iron and have lost over 10 pounds this year! But my success was not only on the scale. I felt so accomplished in the gym and my body felt so strong and healthy.

I came to Black Iron Nutrition as a serial dieter, always just wanting to cut down my food to ‘look like I do CrossFit’. Instead we’ve spent 4 years building up my metabolism through eating more food, prioritising recovery and building my strength and fitness. I learned that in order to do well in CrossFit, you REALLY need to eat a lot. 

Previously, I had always felt depleted with low energy after cuts, and this time the process has been the smoothest it’s ever been, all while still being able to train really hard. I think the biggest growth for me in this whole process has been being able to shift my mindset that tracking my food does not have to always involve weight loss.

I've never been able to successfully lose weight - ever - and I was able to lose pounds and inches and GAIN so much strength working with my coach. My progress was slower than many but it's occurred in a way that I think I can maintain for the long run. This program provides the tools and mindset needed to make long term changes.

I lost over 10 pounds, without my macros dropping (not even really cutting) and I'm 15# heavier than when I finished previous cuts, but I think I actually look better. I feel way better. I'm eating full meals, I'm not hungry and I look forward to my weekly check-ins, my coaches advice, and it's really powerful to look back at the week and find something, anything to stamp as something you're proud of.

BIN is so much more than just getting a set of macros and hoping for the best. When you work with a coach, you're working with someone that really gives a crap about the person you are, what your goals are, and wants to give you the tools to succeed. They celebrate your successes and push you to keep going when you want to quit.

After college, my weight fluctuated over the years as I would be consistent with working out and then fall off the wagon once again. Starting BIN has literally been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Not only do I finally feel comfortable in my own skin, but BIN has sparked a passion for nutrition in me. I love learning about it and talking to people about it.

The first few weeks I was hesitant to buy-in because I felt like I was eating so much and macro-counting does take a little effort in the beginning when you are getting used to it. However, I began seeing so many changes in my body, that I could not deny the program was working! Since joining, I have lost over 20 lbs and over 8% body fat!

I am grateful for the insights, lessons, and knowledge that I've gained from BIN. It's taught me so much about myself, improved my relationship with food, and yes, put me in a better place aesthetically. My experience has been nothing short of wonderful. It's truly changed my life.

This is the most I’ve ever learned from a nutrition coach and I won’t forget any of it. I can easily say I’ve come out of this relationship with a deeper love and appreciation for my body, for not only what it looks like but what it does for me in the gym and every day. And I am better prepared to take on the world, knowing what and how to feed my body.

My coach taught me how to properly fuel my body for all of the Crossfit competitions I was doing back then as well as helped me work on my mindset with food and the scale. Flash forward to 2019, I felt like a had a pretty good handle on my nutrition and counting macros so I switched to Condensed Lifestyle with Chelsi! Chelsi has helped me get ready for my Olympic weightlifting competition earlier this year (with no cut needed might I add).

In this past year, I’ve added over 100 pounds to both my squat and deadlift and I’m no longer afraid of gaining weight. In fact, all I want to do now is be bigger and stronger and I am currently eating more food than I ever have in my entire life! BIN has helped me do everything I’ve ever dreamed of doing as an athlete. I’m confident in my body and have a level of self-love that I never thought was possible!

I can't stress enough how worth it is to have someone to take a look at what you’re eating! Personally my goals were to just be more flexible with the types of foods I included in my diet. I had no idea I was even under eating and my energy levels could be so improved!

This journey started as a fitness related goal and actually turned into an entire lifestyle change. The first huge thing my coach helped me conquer was to get over my fear of gyms. Before BIN I was terrified of getting judged or doing something wrong and my coach helped show me that we all have to start somewhere. I will NEVER stop recommending this program. You all have created something amazing!

Today I can honestly say that this was one of the most important changes I have ever made in my life. After a couple months of tweaking my numbers, learning the importance of consistency, and finding foods that I really enjoyed that fit my macros, I started to feel absolutely amazing. Not only did I start to lose both weight and body fat, but also my acne completely cleared up, I was able to get movements that I could never do before, and my mindset started to change,
