How My Fitness Kitchen helped me lose over 20 lbs at Planet Fitness

How My Fitness Kitchen helped me lose over 20 lbs at Planet Fitness

I had been going to Planet Fitness for quite a while off and on but not seeing any results. 

Frustrated I  stopped by My Fitness Kitchen and talked with Mark who listened to what I was saying and suggested that what was missing was accountability and awareness to nutrition and the same regarding training on how to use the exercise equipment. 

Knowing I was on a budget Mark created a game plan that would educate and empower me on how to utilize Planet Fitness that will work for me.  Mark put together a program where I would work with one of his staff - Kevin at My Fitness Kitchen once a week and then go to Planet Fitness at least one other time each week.  With Kevin's motivation and guidance I became much more accountable to my program which in turn  began to get much more out of my PF workouts.  I felt more comfortable with the various machines at PF and even with venturing to new ones.  Kevin at My Fitness Kitchen also provided me with a plan I could take with me there each week for variety. 

The big difference and value was checking in once a week at My Fitness Kitchen with Kevin to kept me accountable and help me establish a routine that works with my life.    My Fitness Kitchen coaching gave all me the tools I needed to better empower me. 

In as little as three months and without feeling deprived or needing to be at a fitness center more than twice a week, I have a program that is designed around me and is LIVABLE which also has led me to loose over 20 pounds.  Without resorting to extreme intense workouts everyday, and restrictive diets where I would had to give up the foods I love I was still able to lose over 20 lbs exercising only 2 days week.  This was all possible due to the accountability and awareness coupled with the personalized program design provided by the team of professionals at My Fitness Kitchen.

A BIG thank you out to Mark and to Kevin and everyone at My Fitness Kitchen for a life changing 3 months!  

If you have a membership at a gym and not seeing results I definitely recommend you contact My Fitness Kitchen for help on how to better utilize your membership.  I am confident it will be well worth your time to meet with them for a FREE private strategy session like I did.  - Denise Hegemann

I have been with Mark for 7 years. He has adapted my work outs to the numerous limitations I have had in the past. Since May of 2015, I have lost 60lbs. During that time period I had a knee replacement, and he put together a program to meet my restrictions. The staff is knowledgeable of nutrition and exercise and are very approachable. Facility is clean and has an upbeat atmosphere.You could not find a better place.

Finding My Fitness Kitchen has been one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time.

 

I am finally getting myself back to where I want to be. It hasn't been easy, but Mark, Chris, and the rest of the staff are helpful and supportive, and MFK is a friendly and non-judgmental place.

 

What sets MFK apart is the weigh-ins and nutritional counseling that go along with the customized workouts. This is the total package I need that I have really never found anywhere else.

 

Mark has taken the time to see what works for me with my busy life to put a program together that is allowing me to reach my goals. I get all the guidance I need to continue this program of dietary accountability and physical activity throughout the rest of my week.

 

I highly recommend My Fitness Kitchen  to anyone looking to be educated and guided about nutrition and fitness in a way that works in real life!
