Erik completely changed the way I think about food and my body! You really can eat what you want and a ton of food while changing your body composition and losing weight. I now happily eat carbs and chocolate with no guilt. Plan your macros, eat what you want, eat a lot and hit your body goals!

Working with Erik has been amazing! I just had my last weekly check in with him and am officially on my own to maintain my weight. I worked with Erik for a year and can't recommend him enough (I started when I was 6 months postpartum). I loved that Erik was very transparent about the process from the start - his goal was to help me reach my goals and give me the tools to succeed on my own. It was never about keeping me as a client forever...although part of me wants to work with him forever! Throughout the past year, I have not only surpassed the physical goals I set for myself, but the real value

Tommy was a phenomenal coach and mentor! He was always available when I had questions regardless of the time of day, he balanced my workouts and cardio well especially with my hectic lifestyle, and was realistic while being motivational and supportive! What was even better was that I got to eat normal food that wasnt bland or boring! It definitely made my competition prep fun and exciting! He truly super passed any of my expectations that I had and debunked the stereotypical daunting competition prep process that I see so many women advertise.
