I came seeking guidance and accountability through a bulk and cut cycle, as I've never been able to adhere to my numbers in the past. I felt extremely supported with weekly check ins and contact with my coach.

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.

I anticipated so much more restriction around food, strict ‘rules’, excessive time spent working out, etc, but my experience with Ryann has been the complete opposite and I have learned so much these last 9 months.

I decided to start with Black Iron Nutrition January 1, 2023 due to being at my heaviest weight, and generally unhappy with how I looked. I was doing CrossFit 5 to 6 times a week, but not seeing any body changes in the way of fat loss or muscle growth.

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.

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.

From February to December I lost 56 pounds, although my check ins did not focus on weight loss. They were focused on creating habits around sleep and hydration, figuring out a way to eat that worked best for me, and managing my stress.

Before BIN, I was in a constant state of overtraining and (unknowingly) under-eating. I had an “all or nothing” mindset when it came to my nutrition and restricted a lot of my favorite foods while categorizing them as either good or bad. I was always bulking or cutting, never stayed in maintenance nor did I know how to. I was constantly struggling and realized I needed help.

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.

Black Iron has helped me create consistent habits that work with how I live life. I refuse to meal prep because I always end up wasting the food (I HATE leftovers), I eat out A LOT, and I am a dessert snob and love pastries (I'd live in a french patisserie if I could). I now have the tools to enjoy those things and still hit my goals.

I have created a better relationship with food. I am eating more calories than I have ever done before, and still continue to lose body fat. I have lost about 7% body fat since I started tracking with Ryann and I have also seen how little the scale really matters. I absolutely recommended Black Iron Nutrition to anyone who is looking to better their lifestyle.

Before I joined I was approaching 40 and thinking, this is it. I’ve tried everything. I can’t lose this weight. That was until I was matched with coach Maggie. My progress isn’t just measured by the scale which has been liberating. It is just one of many forms of info that are evaluated. Every person receives an individualized plan to figure out what works best for them.

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.

I decided to join BIN because I saw a friend of mine at the gym have great results with the program. I was tired of how restrictive my diet was and I was really unhappy. I have to admit that for me it was a process to trust someone. I am a doctor and sometimes we think we know a lot, but we also need coaches to guide us through the things we struggle with. Every check-in Nicole was willing to explain to me what we were doing and why.

I have had an incredible experience with Black Iron Nutrition. BIN helped me get back to being myself again. It helped me learn to love myself by taking care of me from the inside out. My coach was supportive, honest, dedicated, and wonderful!! Thank you for improving my life and helping me to create a lasting lifestyle change!

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!
