What an amazing transformation Alison has made during her time with us. She was a client that had never really worked out before, so there was definitely some apprehension to starting a fitness program. luckily Alison is a quick learner + a hard worker so she adapted to the weight training relatively well. Initially Alison mad some significant improvements in both strength + weight loss (about 45lbs).

Eventually though, she hit a plateau that was proving nearly impossible to break. It turned out that nutrition was definitely a problem. Despite understanding the principles of nutrition, thermodynamics + weight loss, Alison was still struggling. turns out that she struggled with both portion size (even of “healthy” foods) and occasional binges (usually on highly palatable, calorically dense “unhealthy”: foods). This plateau drove Alison to take the next step and undergo gastric bypass surgery. once the procedure was completed, she was really able to take her training + weightloss to the next level.

She ended up losing over 111 pounds, dropping her body fat % by 20 + a total of 57 inches around her body. Not only that, she’s gotten so much stronger, more flexible, is pain free + able to run again.

In her own words “As someone with sedentary hobbies like gaming and drawing as well as no education about nutrition, I have struggled with obesity my entire life. I came to Fitness + Fuel in the hopes that I could take control of my health and my body. Byron and Whitney taught me the principle of food as fuel for the body and how to make my muscles work. like REALLY work. Their instruction, guidance and knowledge along with bariatric surgery helped change my life for the better. I am now strong, confident and the healthiest I have ever been!”
