I was very up and down with overeating, undereating, and feeling guilty along the way. Joyce’s knowledge and encouragement made it easy to stick to my goals... I am so thankful for the skills I've gained, which I know will have a lasting impact on my life.

I went from 245lbs to maintaining at 178lbs right now. I truly can’t remember a time that I didn’t want to lose weight or change my appearance which is exhausting. I’ve found a new love for fitness and nutrition and instead of it feeling like a chore it’s honestly the best part of my day. Jess helped me change my way of thinking, the idea of being strong and healthy and not just small. She told me once that a dream body that is a nightmare to upkeep isn’t a dream body and I really agree with that so much.

I've become more comfortable with my body. I've lost about 10 lbs so far, my clothes are fitting again, and I've relearned what satiety feels like. I thought I'd have to quit eating pizza, burgers, BBQ, ice cream, pastries, either temporarily or permanently but I was so wrong!

I've gone from eating 1300 calories a day to over 2000 at maintenance. With Ryann's guidance, I've successfully completed two fat loss phases, transitioned my coaching program from lifestyle to performance, learned how to be compliant when things are not 100% perfect in my environment, not panic about how to eat while traveling, and competed in both running and CrossFit.

This journey has been great with Lauren to guide me! I’ve lost about 20 pounds and 1-2 pant sizes, but most importantly, I feel comfortable in my own skin again. I’m so excited to continue my journey with Black Iron to see what else I’m capable of!

I finally feel at a place of peace with food and the noise. I’ve always been a foodie and enjoyed myself, but it always followed with guilt or needing to “start over”. It’s freeing to find a balance between my goals, everyday life, and sustainability without the mental distress that usually follows.

I felt like I was living in a body twice my age. I tired easily, was out of breath doing routine chores, and didn’t handle stress well. I had tried every diet and exercise program imaginable over the years, but staying motivated was always a challenge.

More than just weight loss, I’ve gained strength, confidence, and perseverance—things I never would have found without the help of coach Jess.

Over the last two years, I have worked with Sabrina on my relationship with food, particularly in creating healthy patterns of behaviour and how it relates to my performance. I have also had two major surgeries in that time, and she has been a great sounding board when I wasn't doing so well, and also gave me the kick in the ass when I needed it too.

Sabrina is an incredible coach who’s helped me achieve PRs, podiums, and world championship qualifications in races this season. I have a healthier relationship with food than ever before and feel empowered and educated to make choices that support my goals every day. Most importantly, I’ve learned how to incorporate performance nutrition strategies into my life in a way that feels sustainable—without being handcuffed to a restrictive meal plan.

Sabrina has a rare gift: she guides you from what you think you want to what you truly need, without judgment and always with love. I came in with years of harsh food rules and an inner critic that was constantly loud—but she met me with grace and reminded me that I’m a whole woman deserving of nourishment and care. Her ability to reframe setbacks as learning opportunities has helped me enjoy the process more and become a role model for other women in strength, confidence, and self-trust.

Sabrina is so helpful, supportive, and insightful! She has the best recommendations and truly wants her clients to succeed in all areas of their life. She has helped me find a better balance between health/fitness goals while still enjoying life.

I LOVE Black Iron Nutrition! I have had the pleasure of working with Black Iron and Carly for almost 5 years now and it was the best decision I have ever made. When I started I was working on private yachts and Carly always made sure to understand my job, lifestyle and what it was I focused on in that season of life. It really helps that the coaches truly care and want to know how they can help you no matter what phase of life you are in.

I chose Quiana because we had babies at about the same time, and I knew she would get it. She has blown me away with her kindness, her humor, and she really just gets it. She’s supportive without letting me off the hook when maybe I should eat a vegetable or fruit as a treat. She really helped me through getting back to myself after having a baby, as well as supporting me through my first ever bulk then cut.

Black Iron Nutrition was so unbelieveably helpful for me to get back on track wtih nutrition. I began with BIN in January when I felt like I needed to take control of something to pull my life together. Nutrition tracking helped me immensely reconnect with my body and my fitness goals.

One year ago I had no idea what macros were, and to be honest, I was one who swore to never weigh food or count calories because I thought it was restrictive in nature, and as a working mom, I just didn’t have the time. Today I have never felt better! I eat guilt free and am 100% in control of my nutrition.

Joining BIN was the best decision I ever made after trying diet after diet since I was 18 years old. I've always felt like a "bigger" girl and have struggled with body image for a long time. Working with Lauren over the past year and a half has given me so much confidence in myself.

When I first started working with Ryann I was terrified I’d get in my head about tracking my food and it would become unhealthy. To my surprise, it did the exact opposite. I have never had such a healthy relationship with food and my body as I do today.

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.

When I started working with Carly, she introduced me to reverse dieting, a concept I had never heard of. We gradually increased my calorie intake from 2200 to 3240 calories. Surprisingly, I dropped 7 kg and lost 10 cm from my waist while eating more. I plateaued at 3240 calories, my maintenance level, and now I'm on an 8-week cut, having lost an additional 1 kg in three weeks while eating 2700 calories.

In the past 6 months, she has lost 23 pounds and 4.75 inches—all while going to Peru for a week and focusing on balanced plates while visiting her family on the weekends. This is why learning the basics first is such an important tool for long-term success.
