This was my final race of the season, and I was able to improve my average cycling speed and power. Ryann really helped me dial in my fueling for this long-distance race, both before and during race day.

Morgan made sure I was fueled properly leading up to the competition and at the competition. We discussed weekly about eating enough, food timing, confidence, and positive thoughts during my training.

Working with Ryann removed a lot of stress and overthinking as I prepared for this event. I’ve been training and tracking for years, and feel that I have a relatively good understanding of nutrition, but now I didn’t have to second guess if I was fueling enough or too much. And it always helps having someone in your corner holding you accountable and cheering you on at the same time.

Kate came to us as a strong athlete with her sights set on performance. Over 16 months with coach Kelly, she dialed in her gymnastics skills, built her engine, and slowly trended her body weight down 12 lbs. Her full story is one of consistency, trust in the process, and a quarterfinals performance that surprised even her.

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 has helped me learn how to fuel my body, redefine my relationship with alcohol, and be kind to myself when things don’t go perfectly to plan. Since working together, I’m physically stronger, and I have clarity on how to build sustainable habits that align to my values.

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.

This was my first time competing at the USAW National Championships. Ryann was so helpful in guiding me through a slow and steady weight gain phase to help me fill out the 58kg class, and then making sure I was well within my weight class leading into the event. My strength increased throughout the training cycle because of it, and I felt so confident on the stage!

Working with Sabrina over the last few years has been nothing short of life changing. Mentally, emotionally and physically. I am in constant awe of how thoughtful her responses are; the way she can re-ground me when I'm feeling guilt around food and yet at other times push and motivate me when I'm firing on all cylinders. I got a nutrition coach, but gained a trusting role model who makes me feel comfortable week after week no matter the good, bad or ugly that is LIVING LIVE!

After having my first baby in 2024, I was determined to return to the competition platform stronger than ever. Before pregnancy, I was a highly competitive CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting athlete, having competed at both Masters Nationals and Senior Nationals in 2023. Postpartum, I knew I needed the right support to get back there. 

My experience with Black Iron Nutrition and with Kelly has been amazing. I learned so much about my mind and body. As someone who struggles with consistency, setting myself up for success the night before by prepping my food for the next day was incredibly helpful. Kelly was there for me during difficult times in life and reminded me to give myself grace and not to be so hard on myself.

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.

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.

The mental transformation has been huge, more profound than what the scale says or how my body looks. I feel so confident and capable of accomplishing really hard things! I am eating more than ever and I am not restricting myself, yes I have my cake and ice cream.

I initially focused on performance and strength. With the changes made, I was hitting multiple PRs and achieving new skills in the gym, but most importantly, I felt fueled and energized during workouts. We then adjusted to a cut, where I saw a huge change in my body.
