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.
Read MoreI 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.
Read MoreWhen 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.
Read MoreHaving 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.
Read MoreChris 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.
Read MoreI 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.
Read MoreI 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!
Read MoreI 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!
Read MoreI 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.
Read MoreI joined Black Iron Nutrition as a performance client when I first started competing because I knew no amount of training would outperform the wrong nutrition plan. I chose BIN because of the impressive coaching team and how their mission focuses on clients as individuals and embodies everything positive about the health and fitness industry.
Read MorePeople (women, especially) don’t fuel enough for what we ask our bodies to do day in and day out, and then we expect to perform our best too? It doesn’t work that way. And (thankfully for me) ultra running isn’t a sport that praises aesthetics. But we are rewarded with strong legs 60 miles in because we shoved mashed potatoes down at mile 50. Over the last 6 months I’ve been practicing eating for this kind of thing, because it takes just that - so much practice.
Read MoreI had previous experience with tracking macros, but never stuck with it because I never knew how to properly adjust my numbers or where to even start with numbers. My coach made it super easy for me when it came to giving me my goal macros to hit and I never once questioned the numbers she gave me.
Read MoreWhen I started with BIN I would have said I was the fittest I had ever been, but they took me from lean (too lean) and semi-fit, to a stronger, thicker (yes! thicker! it’s a good thing!), healthier, more badass super hero I feel I am now. This is without a doubt the best nutrition coaching I have ever had. I am forever grateful for all they’ve taught me, and continue to teach me.
