My partnership with ETI Fitness began one year ago. ETI Fitness is a husband and wife team that instructs nutrition through implementing MACROS and personal trainer through implementing free weights. In the past year, I lost 20 pounds and 9 inches off my waistline that included a 13% body fat reduction.
Growing up I had a passion for sports and always enjoyed being active. I was a three sport athlete in high school and continued to be active in college. When I was 17, I started to deal with several health complications that led to different struggles and setbacks throughout the years…
Celebrating one year today. July 7th, 2020. Thank you ETI Fitness!! Chad and Heather you are the greatest! I am so glad to have both of you with me on this slow but sure path, encouraging me along the way and celebrating each of my goals with me. I am so blessed that I was introduced to you by my niece Candie and to have you both in my life!
As I approach my 51st birthday I have spent a lot of time reflecting on where I’ve been and how far I have come on so many levels of life. For years I have battled the “I’m not good enough” thought train. I have worked very hard using many tools to rid myself of the negative self-talk. I began pushing myself outside my comfort zone and I have learned there is nothing I can’t do once I set my mind to doing it.
I was at a point where I had done the beach body, I’d done the seven-week challenges, I had done all the fad diets, and I hated what I was doing. I hated working out; I can’t say I liked any part of it. I had been lifting with only dumbells, but I wanted more.
This couple has been a gift to both my husband and I. We still remember the consult at Starbucks that was over two hours In length, which we appreciated beyond words. Prior to this meeting, I have seen many different health professionals, but was never given this much time, patience and true desire to understand my journey and then develop a game plan specific to MY BODY.
Chad and Heather have been awesome coaches to work with, they continue to educate and teach me the proper ways to train and fuel my body to get the best results. They believe in your goals and will forever push you to succeed. Can’t thank them enough for supporting me through my fitness journey!
I began working with Chad and Heather in November of 2020 not because I wanted to loose weight but because my partner and I were going to be hunting mule deer in October of 2021. Just he and I, camping and hunting on public land for a solid week with the assistance of nobody.
Chad and Heather at ETI Fitness played an absolutely pivotal role in us reaching our fitness goals. My wife lost inches and I added muscle mass, just like they said we could accomplish.
I’ve always been very athletic growing up playing sports in high school and college. After college I starting getting in triathlons, and eventually signing up and finishing my first Ironman in 2018. Fast forward to 4 years later, with 2 kiddos in the picture now. I wanted to get back into shape, tone up, and finish an Ironman again.
Over the last several years I have struggled with increasing GI issues, overall lack of energy and feeling unwell. I spent many years exercising full body and cardio to try and look my best, never much caring about the food going in my mouth or the number on the scale.
In February 2021, at a mere age of 28 my “it is time to change” moment happened. I’ve spent my entire life yo-yo-dieting… trying over and over and over again to lose weight. I don’t remember a time where I wasn’t over 300lbs.
