Hi, I wanted to let you know I spoke with Pete. He asked some great questions about my goals and my past struggles with weight and eating habits. He gave me a quick summary of his understanding, and I fully agree how this program can help me.
Thank you so much for sharing that! I’m really glad you felt heard and that Pete was able to understand where you’re coming from and what you’re looking to accomplish. 🙌
The goal is to build something that fits your life and helps you create habits you can actually sustain not another short-term approach. We’re excited to support you and help you move forward with confidence! - Coach Arlene

I was able to get a better understanding of what’s needed with Peter from a nutritional side of things and to incorporate what’s going to be best to achieve my goals
That’s great to hear! I’m so glad your conversation gave you more clarity around the nutritional side and how to make the right adjustments for your specific goals. Having a plan that fits you personally is so important, and we’re excited to help you put it all together and get the results you’re looking for! 🙌 - Coach Arlene

Peter A was so so great. This was an introductory session and in just one session he uncovered the path to my issues. He was informative and very knowledgeable. Highly Recommend!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was truly a pleasure working with you, and I’m so glad our introductory session helped uncover some of the key areas that have been holding you back. 🙌
You’re already taking an important step by becoming more aware of what your body needs, and I’m excited to see what you accomplish from here. Thank you for trusting me and FLA! ❤️

took the time to understand why I'm overweight and why I'm suffering from joint pains. took the time to explain why my goal weight should be around 150lbs for my height of 5'5 instead of the goal weight I had of 170lbs. I appreciate the help and honesty
Thank you, I really appreciate that! 🙏 My goal is always to make sure you understand the **why** behind the plan not just tell you what to do. Your joint pain, current weight, and goal all need to be looked at together so we can create an approach that is realistic, sustainable, and actually supports your body.
I’m glad you appreciated the honesty. We’ll focus on making progress the right way and getting you feeling stronger, healthier, and more confident along the way! 💪
