Andrew and I harp on this a lot to each other in our personal conversations, but the theme tends to bleed through in some of our posts as well: There really isn't a quick fix for fat loss if your goal is an overall healthy lifestyle long-term.

This is not to say that there aren't some programs out there that require you to workout for four hours a day while eating a piece of spinach for lunch because programs like that can certainly help you lose weight fast.

But, you’ll be incorporating some temporary habits that just aren't sustainable for your day to day life.

So, what do we at IVRY do differently?

Coaching Is More Than a Workout Program

We really do believe in coaching the whole person and not just throwing a workout program at someone. Life is more than the program you use while you are in the gym, and our philosophy on coaching reflects that.

We genuinely try to help ourselves and others identify and understand our bad eating habits, how to mentally approach food and training, how to combat tough mental blocks both in the kitchen and the gym, how to approach a challenging workout when there is no motivation, and how to build not only a healthy body and a healthy mindset.

For fat loss specifically, that typically means no shortcuts.

Our Personal Approach to Fat Loss

We won't offer you some “lose fat quickly” scheme; that's just not us.

What we will offer is time and energy to help you figure out the best way to approach your goals within fitness and nutrition as they fit in with your lifestyle in a way that is sustainable for you.

We also then apply some evidence-based principles that we believe in to that process and begin on a slow and steady journey of not only fat loss, but a healthy body and mind.

Once Andrew and I both applied these rules and figured out what was sustainable for us (and we are still constantly learning), we have both seen some pretty impressive success.

I don't say that to brag on ourselves - only to say that treating each person as a unique individual and applying what we know has led to our personal success and the successes of our clients.

If you have been thinking about trying to revamp your training program or starting to include more healthy eating habits into your life and still still seem lost, please reach out!

The worst thing that can happen is that we both say “hey” and now we know each other, which doesn’t sound like a bad deal to me!

Enjoy Life,
