From Our Clients

 Back in 2023, I started a bulking phase. Basically I ate and drank whatever I wanted. Just lifted heavy. No cardio. Just bodybuilding/hypertrophy training. The dirty bulking thing is dumb and just an excuse to eat like crap. I was trying to get bigger and stronger but it wasn’t the right way. So January 1, 2024, I decided to start my cut. I needed to lean out. The timeline I put myself on was my birthday, September 13. I had some time to do it right. I had already stopped drinking in October 2023, but hadn‘t really dove into my nutrition besides just counting calories. I dropped from 207 to about 193. I was happy with what I did myself but realized that I needed a coach. I needed that extra help with the nutrition side of my journey to take it to the next level. I hired Tom Moss at the end of April.  Final results: 184lbs and 14% body fat. 

As I’ve gotten older (57yo), losing weight and dropping body fat had become, what felt like, impossible.  This isn’t a case of just being a “couch potato”, I was doing CrossFit five days a week, but the weight just never left me.  My diet was never great, but even when I was eating what I “thought” was clean, nothing in the mirror ever changed, so I resigned myself to “you’re just getting old, that’s just how things are”. 

At the encouragement of my wife, I started working with Tom Moss 6 months ago, and I’ve seen some amazing changes. Belly fat that I thought would never leave has started melting away… I dropped 20+ pounds in the first 60 days, and then seemed to stall out.  But that’s when I learned to STOP staring at the scale… my body fat has continued to drop and muscle mass has steadily increased.  

I’m excited to see what the next 6 months brings… 

 I met Tom in 2018 when he opened his Fitness Facility in my hometown. I wanted to get my body into better shape overall and lose a few pounds. He helped me achieve that goal. Then he started talking about how he’s trained others for shows. It struck my attention and sounded fun, but I thought to myself “I could never do that”. As my body transitioned, I asked if it was possible and he said yes sister, anything is possible if you're willing to sacrifice and commit. He proceeded to tell me how hard it was and not just anyone can do it. That's all it took for me as the competitive type. If you tell me I can’t, I have to prove I can.  So I did. I started the journey to step on stage. It took longer than I wanted it to because life happens. I never gave up, and he never gave up on me. With him being back in his hometown full time, he still continued to help in every way he could. Nov. 5, 2022, I stepped on stage for my first time. Considering circumstances, I had a blast and couldn’t be prouder of the outcome. From here, with the help of my coach, Tom, family, and friends, it's only going to get better! Thank you Tom for having faith in me! 💪🏼
