Before and After weight loss surgery - Mountain hike

Climbed a 14,000ft peak

One of my goals after my bariatric surgery was to hike one of the 14,000 ft peaks here in Colorado. One year after surgery and 9 months working with Coaching for Bariatric Success I acheived that goal! After that I know I can do anything.

Exercise is now a part of my life

Exercise was a cuss word to me before my weight loss surgery. What attracted me was the private gym setting. I know I wouldn't be judged or intimidated. This along with Geof's encouragement and knowledge has made exercise a non-negotiable part of my life and it's paid off in more ways than I could have imagined.

I didn't even know where to start

I knew that part of my weight loss success was going to be working out, but I didn't even know where to start. I was referred to Coacing for bariatric Success because the specialized in bariatric surgery personal training. Unfortunately this happened just as COVID hit. Geof worked with me with his Online training app and Zoom calls. After a few months I felt more confident and strong. 
As soon as they re-opened I started splitting my workouts between home and the gym.

Geof Shuford - founder of Phoenix Fitness

In the 10+ years of working with bariatrc surgery clients one question that arises most often after surgery is "Now What?" What do you need to do to lose the weight you want to lose. What do you need to do to build a healthy and strong body. What do you need to do to build solid new habits and remove old disfunctional habits so you can maintain this new, healthier life?

 

Answering these "Now What" questions is the foundation of Coaching for Bariatric Success of a healthy life (exercise, nutrition and mindset) into all parts of our training. It's by working within this framework which creates the success stories we've seen at Coaching for Bariatric Success. 

 

As a certified Personal trainer with over 10 years of experience as well as a certified bariatric mindset coach I know what it takes to get you to your goals.

 

My team and I work with you to create the fitter, healthier version of you, so you can finally get the most out of life! It's how we help you find your answer to the question "Now What?"
