Background

A dancer who hadn't touched a weight machine in two years. Since January she's back to 14 hours of dance a week, with a pro-am performance on the calendar.

Nutrition

Eggs with spinach and gluten-free toast for breakfast, Greek yogurt with berries mid-day, lean protein (chicken, fish, steak) with veggies and a whole-grain starch for dinner. Protein bar to fill gaps. Zero alcohol. Daily creatine.

Wealth Management

Long Term Member

Former D1 softball player who never focused on nutrition in college. Now in wealth management, she wanted more definition in her arms and habits she could sustain for life.

75th to 87th percentile

"I feel good, I feel strong. I've gone down a couple of sizes, and even just sitting at my desk, I'm so much more comfortable than I used to be. My numbers just keep going up! I did 70s on the dumbbell bench press the other day and hit 260 on leg press."

Long Term Member

Exercise had always felt exhausting and painful. Various health challenges had drained her energy, and daily walks were all she could manage at the start.

"Working out is my favorite hobby right now, oh and my A1C was 5.7 going into all this, now it's 4.7!"

Max

,

41

Long Term Member

Hadn't trained with real intention in his life. Came in skipping lunches, falling short on protein, and piecing together workouts with no real plan or framework.

"I don't think I've felt better. Eating clean, sleeping well, everything's adding up. I can't even make this up. I can't explain it to anyone else. They can see me, and they know what's going on."

Long Term Member

Bay Area nurse working 24-hour shifts with a past lifting background but years of inconsistency. Came in wanting to rebuild strength and build a lean, jacked physique.

"Friends have started complimenting me, and some are inspired enough to start tracking their workouts and increasing their protein. I keep predicting a plateau and being proven wrong. Energy is consistent, I don't need caffeine to get through 24-hour shifts anymore, and I just keep making progress."

Former endurance runner sidelined by an ankle injury, staying active with Pilates. Came to Kalos to rebuild strength, add muscle, and see the definition she'd lost.

"I definitely feel stronger. I'm hitting personal records all the time. I've been working really hard. I feel better about what I'm eating. I've generally got more fuel day-to-day, and I honestly haven't missed the alcohol. When I do have it, it's like, 'Oh, this is awesome.' I feel great about that."
