Client Testimonials

"My first interaction with Courtney was seeing her do crazy heavy lifts and butterfly pull ups on the rig from across the gym. The way she looked and performed was extremely intimidating for me. I had seen people from my box liking 'Petite Athleat' on Facebook and after checking it out I connected the dots to see it was Courtney's professional website.  After a few weeks of working up the courage to ask her about the nutritional coaching, I finally did and I am so grateful I did. We started with some basic measurements, weigh in, and photos.  When I emailed Courtney my pictures, I was so embarrassed and ashamed. Looking at the pictures made me finally admit to myself what I really looked like in the mirror. I had been doing CrossFit for almost two years and didn't look like I did.  Yes, I could lift heavy weights. Yes, I could run faster than I ever have. No, the fat wasn't vanishing before my eyes and the 'toned' look I desired was nowhere in sight despite eating "healthy". The number on my scale went up and even though I knew it was muscle gain, what I saw in the mirror felt like I was getting no where. I blamed it on medications because I had nutrition counseling before and only lost a little bit of weight.

From the beginning, Courtney promised that if I stick to logging and macros things will change. That promise was never broken! I wasn't judged for  how I looked, but instead encouraged and empowered by Courtney's reply: "I CAN do this!" The very first week the number on the scale went down, I lost inches, but most of all was seeing the photos being compared. I had a few detours during my 6 weeks of counseling; workouts were lighter than usual and extreme stress with things in my personal life. Through then entire program Courtney was completely understanding and tailored these changes to what my body needed. Not only did I see results but I learned what macros are, how they affect workout/non-workout days, and that I can eat normal foods to fit within what my body needs. I ate pizza, cheesesteaks, and my personal kryptonite- ice cream. By the end of my six weeks, the scale and measurements did no justice.  The saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" was the only thing I needed to see.

What I was feeling when I put on my clothes, how I felt overall during workouts, but most of all how I felt when I looked in the mirror... I cant even describe. My skinny jeans still felt skinny around my thighs (got to love quads!) but didn't fit on my waist. My nemesis brown shorts that I had been trying for over a year to fit into fit like a glove!

I am so thankful for my program with Courtney and the support she gave me throughout the entire time without feeling judged- even on days where my macros weren't quite where they should be.  From the very beginning, I put the work in to sticking to the program and in the end I got results but also a great mentor and supporter who believed I could do it, even when I thought I couldn't. It all started with a simple question and ended with more self-confidence then I have ever had. If you're hesitant to trying nutrition counseling with Courtney, step out of your comfort zone. You body and mind will be so glad you did!" -Keri Ann
