I’ve survived cancer twice and the treatment, along with getting older in general, took its toll. In January I decided I needed to make some changes to feel better and get stronger, but I wanted to learn the proper form so I wouldn’t get hurt. I was a little nervous after the surgeries. Weight loss…

In December of 2016, I started working with Beth on my menu and doing personal training twice a week. When I started the program I was 182 lbs and by July of 2017, my weight is 146 lbs. At no point did I feel like I was starving (sometimes it was hard to finish everything). The menu is customized for me so that my favorite foods were included but still met my weight loss goals. The program also helps you change your thought process about food making the transition to a new, healthy lifestyle much easier. Beth would check in, offer support and help keep me on track weekly. I feel there is no way I would have been successful without this program – the expertise of the team at Absolute-U-Fitness helped me to lose weight in a healthy way and it has been a complete lifestyle change for me. I highly recommend it!

I had been working with a trainer at Absolute U Fitness for about one year. I had lost a considerable amount of weight over the course of that year. I had maintained my weight for two months but I still wanted to lose another five to ten pounds. I was tired of eating the same thing over and over again. I needed something new and exciting to progress to my goal.
Beth helped me by providing a meal plan that was both satisfying and tailored to my level of activity. She provided new recipes and had me eating foods that I had not even considered! She also contacted me daily and was always there when I needed encouragement or support. Questions were welcome too!
I achieved an additional weight loss of eight pounds and I have maintained that for another three months. I highly recommend Beth’s meal plans!
I can’t say enough good things about Beth Daugherty, Certified Precision Nutrition Coach. In July of 2016, I set a goal determined not to gain the weight I lost through personal training at Absolute U Fitness. (I went from 204 lbs down to 150 lbs). Along with my training, I had followed some advice from people on what to eat, and looked into a lot of different diets; hoping I could maintain my weight. These things never stuck; I got bored, and would yoyo around with my weight. Beth approached me with an opportunity to follow a meal plan and get coached. I couldn’t pass that up.
Beth helped me see that even though some of the foods I ate were ok; there was a lot I needed to learn. I knew something was missing, I just didn’t know how to fix it. Beth started by gathering information about me, what I liked to eat, dietary restrictions, and what my goal was. After taking all the data into consideration, she prepared a meal plan that was best suited for me. Through her coaching, I was able to look into my past track record and understand why I first gained weight, and what things or situations were triggers. She helped me learn more about the food choices I was making, their nutritional value, and what positive choices I could make when things got tough.
When I first started following the meal plan, my first thought was “huh, I actually like all these foods”. I have a plan that’s easy to follow, I know what I need to buy when I head out to the grocery story.
So, what did following Beth’s meal planning help me do? Well…I can proudly say, I lost another 9 pounds and maintained that weight loss.
In November of 2016, I made a decision to compete in a NPC competition as a bikini competitor. These competitions are not for the light at heart, and it takes a lot of dedication and hard work. Among training hard, the biggest thing is to be on point with your Nutrition and food intake. I discussed this with my trainer, Brian Quinlisk, and quickly informed him there was no one I trust more to put together a competition meal plan than Beth. She knows my tolerances, knows what things I can handle, and she knows me. Beth was more than happy to be there for me, and in December I started following a new plan that was specifically designed to help me gain muscle. It was not easy, I’m not going to lie. Beth, however; was there for me every step of the way, communicating, and checking in to see how I was doing. Towards the last weeks of my competition (April 2017), my plan changed again as I needed to lean out. At competition time, my BMI was 11.7% and my weight at 135 pounds.
I can’t thank Beth enough for what she has taught me. Her professionalism, people skills, and expertise in knowing what is best for her client is incredible. Thank you Beth, for being there for me; teaching me; and helping make the right choices where I can live a long and healthy life.
I have been training with Brian for over 6 years and seen such incredible results in that time. I have never felt stronger or healthier. Brian is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm he brings to each session. He makes each workout challenging, creative and fun! Brian also places a high value on correct form with each exercise. He motivates me to push past my limits to get results.
At age 47 I fulfilled a long time goal of competing in my first figure competition. I won overall figure, open, novice and masters classes! It was one of the most empowering things I have ever done. Thanks to Brian helping me through the rigorous workouts and the moments of self doubt I made my dream a reality!
