Amanda joined IPT in June of 2021 and attends 3 sessions per week with IPT trainers, Drew and Stephen along with nutrition coaching with IPT Nutritionist, Abbie. Since being at IPT, Amanda has lost 29.3 lbs of body fat mass, increased her lean body mass by 9.9lbs, and is down 12.5% in body fat! She also increased her strength and was able to do a 275 lb Hex Bar Deadlift!
Building New Habits…
Although I have surpassed my goals every month, shoutout to Drew and Stephen! My proudest moment was when I pushed the sled at 350 lbs for 2 passes in 29.7 seconds, shaving 10.3 seconds off! I believe it was not only the physical strength and stamina I worked so hard to gain, but mostly, my mental strength, self-compassion and belief in myself that has created the biggest sense of accomplishment. I am thrilled with my fat loss of 29.3lbs and muscle gain of 9.9lbs. That, and the increased energy and endurance have made such a tremendous positive impact on my daily life.
I really prioritize my sleep more than ever. (I love sleep, but have little kids, lol!) This is by far the longest and most consistent I have been with truly honoring my mind and body by making healthier food and drink choices. Staying on top of food tracking has been super important for me in this. I feel like Abbie is so incredible at making the nutrition piece easy and fit into my lifestyle vs making me “fit” a crazy regime.
Why IPT?…
I love that IPT has such high expectations for their trainers and nutritionists. The attention to detail, from setting goals, planning my workouts, and to my form while lifting is so very important to me.
As a member, I know without a doubt, Drew, Stephen, Abbie, and truly the whole IPT Family are there to support, push, and cheer us on day in and day out. I think the community element is vitally important.
A Few Wise Words…
Do it for YOU! It’s true, everyone around you will benefit from your wellness journey, but, I believe you have to make this about what you want and discover over and over WHY this journey is important to YOU. There are going to be moments or days that seem particularly tough to stick with it, and that’s ok. Just keep going and use each opportunity to gain more self compassion and resilience. And, last, but definitely not the least – trust the IPT Team’s knowledge, follow their guidance and advice as closely as you can everyday, and I PROMISE you will see the results you want, faster than you ever thought!
