ONLINE NUTRITIONAL COACHING

My wife introduced the idea of trying a new challenge as part of a New Years resolution and at first, I was skeptical as I believed that we lead healthy lifestyles, ate generally well, we’re both very active and exercise frequently. I didn’t think I had much to change or improve on, however I knew from the onset, that if I was taking on a challenge like this, I would be doing myself a disservice not having someone to hold me accountable during the process and therefore, finding a coach was important to me.

I have known Marcus for some time having crossed paths while playing on multiple sports teams together and I have always admired his personality and demeanor. Knowing he is an accomplished athlete himself, I knew Marcus would be a good fit and I believe that to be a good coach, you yourself need to be coachable! I had been following N1 through social media and was vaguely familiar with his programs and so choosing Marcus seemed like a natural fit for me.

The biggest result from working with Marcus was learning to ‘take ownership’ of my actions. The change in body composition was much more than I anticipated, but the mental game was the toughest part of the process. The program was a lack luster start for me and tracking measurables (weigh-ins, movement, etc.) seemed monotonous and pointless and I was slow to get onboard with everything. It wasn’t until about the halfway mark, that I finally correlated the relationship between my habits and the progress I was making and when I started focusing on movement, things changed gears for me. Taking ownership of your habits and actions is my biggest takeaway from this experience!

The process wasn’t easy and I admittedly became frustrated with my progress several times, however Marcus was always available for questions and conversations. The weekly check-ins and subsequent dialogue is a tremendous asset and platform for candid dialogue. Information and feedback is provided freely and honestly and it just doesn’t get any better than that. The more transparent, open and honest I became, the more benefits I received from Marcus’ coaching.

You have to admire and appreciate someone who can tell you how it is, and ‘talk straight’ to you.

Just a big THANK YOU! Again, I didn’t think this program would be as impactful as it has been. I feel great and I’m happy with the results. I also learned a lot about myself during the process!
