I am starting to feel whole again. I am starting to remember why I love this amazing body of mine no matter the size or shape, because it can do so pretty bad ass things!

I am just a middle aged working mom trying to be the best example she can for her 14 year old daughter. I want her to know you can do it all…be successful, accomplish big send’s (objectives) and look and feel good while doing it!

For YEARS I thought I was a binge eater… but I’m realizing I was never fueling my body the way it needed to be.
This challenge has helped me create healthier habits all around. I sleep better, I eat better, I feel energized and confident! I also recognize it’s not about perfection. It’s about making lifestyle changes that are sustainable for me.

I've been fully vegan for as long as I've been an athlete. I was hesitant to sign up for nutrition coaching for a long time because I felt like someone would judge me and that I would be considered less of an athlete for not compromising on what I eat. Black Iron Nutrition and Morgan never made me feel that way.

Thank you for your continued guidance through this ultra journey I have found myself on. I really feel like a legit athlete and now I am performing like one too! It is cheesy, but I get emotional thinking about how things have worked out, and that careful planning and hard work can actually make some big results. Thank you so much for being a big part of that.

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.

I learned how to foster more mental toughness. I learned how to set better goals. I learned how to periodize my training when mountaineering goals and gym phases/goals don’t always align. The last week of the challenge I returned from Mt. Whitney and got my first invitation to the Age Group Quarterfinals. This has been a great 12 weeks!

I joined the performance challenge to enhance my running goals. Despite initial challenges and international travel, I learned to be flexible with nutrition. This journey taught me adaptability, how to have a positive mindset, and the importance of various metrics in measuring progress. I’m grateful for the support of my coach in helping me achieving both physical and mental growth.

To say that the 12 week challenge was life changing isn't a stretch for me, because it really has been. I appreciate the fact that you put this out there with different options. It gave me a lot to think about before I really committed to the performance side of things. And it's a decision that I'm so happy I made.

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.

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.

I 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.

People (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.

I had used BIN in the past and knew I would benefit from the accountability, but worried about focusing too much on my weight and body. When I saw the Performance challenge, I knew that was exactly what I needed. This challenge and my coach have been so helpful in keeping me on track and helping my achieve my goals. I’ve learned a lot about balancing my nutrition, daily habits, and workouts in a way that I can sustain.

I 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.

Having a full time job, as well as being a husband, and father of 2 young boys, I still hold a massive amount of value in being able to perform my best. Working with Kelsey has allowed me to put my focus into my family and career while taking the guessing out of my nutritional needs.
