Does this sound like you?
"I feel like I've tried everything and nothing has worked."
"I find myself bingeing on foods I've restricted myself from eating."
"I have no idea where to begin in the gym."
"I lack motivation and accountability. I can't rely on my own willpower."
Feel better.
Programmed to transform your health from the inside out, our challengers report health benefits beyond what you can see on the outside: more energy, confidence, and better habits.
Lose inches.
There are so many other ways to measure progress than on a scale...in fact, we prefer tape measures. Because you will be recomposing your muscle and fat ratios, you can look forward to inches lost around your waist, thighs, hips, etc.
Higher performance.
Our challenge workouts combine our favorite ways to shred fat and build muscle. Strength training, fat-blasting plyometric intervals, and endurance-building cardio have been our formulation for a total body transformation.
Results that speak for themselves.
Transformed eating habits.
Macro counting has given me, and thousands of my clients, freedom from food guilt and unhealthy eating habits. You don't need to hide anymore.
Transformed fitness habits.
Nothing will kick you out of a plateau or a "rut" like our cut workouts. We promise.
Transformed mindset.
We love our challenges because we genuinely believe in the power of pushing ourselves for a short period to kickstart habits that will last much longer.

This challenge is for you if:
You feel like you've tried everything.
If restrictive diets and eating methods have not worked for you, we recommend trying the 6 Weeks To Summer challenge. You can eat what you like (as long as it fits within your macros). Essentially, it's a hack for moderation and food freedom.
You've got big goals.
We genuinely believe in the power of pushing yourself for a short period to kickstart habits that will last much longer.
You want to see changes quickly.
The benefit of a 6-week challenge is that it puts you under pressure for a short amount of time to yield faster results. While we do not advise remaining in a cut for long periods, we have seen incredible transformations (physically, mentally, and emotionally) in short, energetic bursts of motivation.
This challenge is not for you if:
You are not in good health currently.
The 6 Weeks To Summer challenge was not created for anyone not currently in good health. we recommend you return and try it when your body is rested and ready. And as always, consult with a doctor before beginning a new fitness or nutrition program.
You are pregnant or nursing.
We don't recommend operating in a caloric deficit while pregnant or nursing, so this challenge may not be for you right now. But that's okay; we'll help when you're ready!
You have never "dieted".
If you've never counted calories or dieted in any form, we'd recommend beginning with a coaching package so that you have guidance and can see results. At the same time, you become more knowledgeable about the process. You will undoubtedly see results quickly, but we don't want you to immediately get burned out with an aggressive approach.

Challenger Stories:
I'm eating so much more!
"I had my second little boy 2 days after Christmas and I was pretty discouraged at how I could ever get my pre-pregnancy weight back... and now I am less than before baby...and so much stronger!!! Also, eating so much more!! I was 130ish before baby, 183 at delivery, 142 at the start of the cut and 126 today. Since then, I did the cut a little longer and then working on the reverse plan (even with flexible weekends here and there) and lost even more! Honestly, I was shocked this morning when I tried on these bottoms and they were so loose! I didn't even realize the progress and especially from reversing/being flexible some weekends, etc."
I cannot believe how different my body looks.
"1.4 pounds. Are you kidding me?! In my tummy alone, I would have guessed I lost 5 pounds. I cannot believe how different my body looks and feels yet according to the scale there's been hardly any change. I now know why people say don't trust the scale! Anyways, I am so glad I did this program. I have learned more about food in the last 30 days than ever before. All my life I have never checked labels, I never even knew there were different options of food. I also never knew how little protein I used to eat and couldn't believe the changes I felt in a few short6 days after fueling my body with what it needed instead of what I craved."
I fell in love with the way I felt mentally.
"30 days (!!!!) and GOSH am I reaping benefits far more than just visually. I live where it is bikini season year round and honestly, that is exhausting. It’s a constant battle of comparison and insecurities. By week three, my goal to be “skinny” was thrown out the window because I genuinely fell in love with the way I felt mentally both in the gym and in the kitchen and retaining that healthy mental state became my new goal. I never felt like I was “dieting.” This was hard but SO achievable. So much so that it feels like a lifestyle I can realistically continue doing."
Frequently Asked Questions
Meet your coaches: Quincey + Brandon
Quincey here! Brandon and I are both passionate about fitness, macros, and helping YOU create a healthy lifestyle for yourself and your family, and we can't wait to have you join us in our next Challenge.
I started macro counting (aka flexible dieting) a few years ago. Until then, I tried every diet under the sun - low carb, high fat, Atkins, Paleo, Keto - you name it, I've tried it.
But all those diets left me feeling... deprived. Feeling deprived made me binge eat, and I couldn't escape that cycle. I would be "perfect" and eat clean during the week but binge on weekends. For 10+ years, I followed this pattern until one day, I researched macro counting and decided to try it. I fell in love with macro counting. Macro counting took away the feeling of being deprived. Macro counting took away anxiety and guilt around eating the "wrong" food. Macro counting has helped me progress mentally and physically. Now when I'm at my son's birthday, I have that piece of cake (without eating the whole thing).
