1:1 Coaching Client- Autumn

It was impressive to see Autumn start seeing abs and kill it in the gym while traveling to Italy with her friends, moving across the country multiple times for her fiance’s job, and going out and making unforgettable memories.

Not only that, but her relationship with food, the gym, and herself has done a complete 180, making her more confident and fearless to go after what she wants.

Message from her...

"You'll be proud of me. Someone asked me if I do cheat days. I said I don't like the idea of cheat days because that means that the rest are restrictive, and I don't think that kind of mindset is sustainable in the long run. I told that person I didn't want to feel restricted. Who am I?!? I used to do "cheat meals" and used to advocate for that (over having cheat days)."

1:1 Client- Kaije

  • lost 13 pounds
  • put lean muscle mass
  • PRing in the gym after being stuck for YEARS

  • Anne's transformation goes far beyond just the physical. The amount of growth that I was fortunate enough to witness was nothing short of inspiring. We had Anne share her story with us not too long ago about how she overcame poor coaching in the past that lead her to disordered eating patterns, and how she and I worked together to create a better relationship with food (with the help of her therapist as well), and the AMAZING results she got from doing it RIGHT.

  • Description text goes here

  • Lost 13 inches

1:1 Client- Paige

"One YEAR! I Can’t believe I committed to myself one year ago to make a change. A year ago my husband had stage 4 skin cancer and it was a roller coaster! I fully ate my emotions and spent no time on myself. Happy to report after surgery he is 100% good. For myself, the physical change is definitely a perk, but where I’m at mentally is something that can’t be beat. Could my changes be bigger, sure but I showed up for a year the best I could. I’m happier, healthier and excited to see what year two brings! Biggest shout out to Ellen Bell for always being in my corner & making sure I was healthy inside and out. Ps there is only a 5 pound difference between these photos. Screw the scale."

1:1 Client- Brandie

  • Down 28 lbs
  • Lost 15 inches off her body
  • increased muscle mass and decreased fat mass
  • PR'd every single lift

  • When she started with Thriving On, she was only eating 1300 calories and not seeing results (and feeling like 💩 too!)

    She started working with Coach Tobias Bögel, trusted the process, and now she is losing weight while eating MORE than when she started with us!

    She mentioned she's feeling better at 35 than she did at 25!

1:1 Client- Alex

  • went from 1700 calories every day to 2200 calories 
  • drastic changes in her body in just 3 months

  • In just 3 months, Alex’s pictures have changed night and day!

    Alex came to us with a slower metabolism, in which we had to fix with reverse dieting.

    It made her nervous, but she trusted the process and she has seen these results and we haven’t even started dieting yet!

    With Coach Ellen by her side, she has also:

    - gotten significantly stronger in the gym

    - broken toes with the weight on the scale determining her every thought

    - and significantly improving her relationship with food

1:1 Client-Jill

  • Lose over 5% of body fat
  • down 7.25 inches
  • eating 1000 more calories every day

  • Looking at Jill's journey, Coach Paul first focused on improving her metabolism.

    The second thing that Coach Paul addressed with Jill was her internal health.

    Her body wasn't happy. She was also diagnosed with SIBO, so Coach Paul collaborated with her doctor to tailor her nutrition and fitness to help with that.

    When your internal health is out of wack, you will be met with extreme resistance or, in some cases, not see results or even gain weight, so some people, like Jill, need a more personalized approach to be able to start seeing results.

    This also helps her to:

    • sleep better

    • regain energy

    • get crazy PRS (adding 40 lbs to her hip thrust

    • 10 lbs to her overhead press, 25 lbs to her lat pull down)

    • increase confidence

    • reduce stress

    • increase mental clarity

    • and more!

    Third was addressing other things holding her back, like her relationship with food, mindset, fitness programming, etc.

    Jill took the path of restoring her metabolism and internal health while addressing some major things that were holding her back:

    • it will be easier to not only get results but also keep them

    She will be able to live her life and continue to improve her relationship with food and herself because we are no longer eating like a rabbit

    she will also have a higher ceiling of potential because she has already lost 5% body fat while not even being in a calorie deficit yet, and her body and mind are primed to make a change.

    Hopefully, by now, you are starting to get what I mean when I say HOW you do it matters.

    We could have put her in a calorie deficit, but it would have just made things worse and dug her deeper into a hole that would take her longer to get out of.

    That is why we start every single one of our clients by addressing their metabolism, internal health, and other significant issues holding most people back (mindset, relationship with food, knowledge, accountability, etc.) This is the 1st phase of our three steps guaranteed method that helps all of our clients to get amazing results that allows them to live their best life FOR LIFE.

1:1 Coaching Client- Melanie

She signed up with us because she was struggling with multiple autoimmune disorders FOR YEARS that were causing resistance to losing fat. She was also in so much pain that she could barely walk, let alone work out, which she loves to do.
She wanted to learn how to eat to nourish her body, improve her blood work, and get back to moving her body and having the confidence to live her life. In just 8 months, Melanie is now:
  • 30 lbs down
  • can now workout, lift weights, walk, and LIVE HER LIFE without pain
  • and her coach Tobias Bögel got a text this morning that Melanie had negative autoimmune antibodies in her routine check, which means that the likelihood of experiencing autoimmune flares is decreased!
She said those results hadn’t been that way in a long time, and those readings produced happy tears.

1:1 Coaching Client- David

  • Restored his metabolism by eating 1,350 calories MORE!

  • LOST 10 lbs

  • DOWN 2% body fat

"Thriving on has helped me conquer lifelong issues I've had surrounding food and exercise and has completely broken my mind out of the proverbial matrix. Knowing what they've taught me, I can't believe I've ever lived any other way. My blood work showed decreased inflammatory markers and helped me pinpoint dietary changes to make. Thriving on was life-changing."

  • lost 41 pounds/ 18 kg
  • 13 inches
  • Improved his blood work
  • And all his hard work lead to him qualifying for a life-surgery

  • When I first met Lars, he had joined our free challenge. 21 days later, he was announced the winner, and no one was surprised because he CRUSHED IT.

    Shortly after, he joined us as a 1:1 client, and he has carried that crazy momentum forward, created a better relationship with food after a poor experience with previous coaching, and all his hard work led to him qualifying for a life-changing surgery that was keeping him from running his business.

1:1 Client- Samantha

  • lost 20 lbs
  • down 16 inches
  • down 2 pant and shirt sizes
  • TSH level is the best it’s been in her entire life
  • found a balance between personal/ social life and still seeing results!

  • “I accomplished this all with the help of Tobi and the Thriving On team! And Tobi can vouch that I still had my fair share of fun and living while still getting results!”

1:1 Client-Ashley

  • lost 15 lbs
  • down 6% body fat
  • increased her muscle mass by 7%
  • WHILE EATING 400 CALORIES MORE!

  • When Ashley and I first started working together, she was told the same diet culture bs that we all are fed. “Good foods vs bad foods” “if you want results, you have to do X…” and she was tired of it.

    ❌ Her energy throughout the day was not great

    ❌ she was undereating

    ❌ frequently bloated

    ❌ and the list goes on.

    While working with Coach Tobias Bögel, they have worked together to:

    • optimize her metabolism

    • improved her internal health

    • improve her relationship with food

    • tweaked her fitness programming to support building lean muscle mass and losing fat

    • increased her carbs (especially in the morning)

    Since starting with Thriving On, she has:

    lost 15 lbs

    down 6% body fat

    increased her muscle mass by 7%

    WHILE EATING 400 CALORIES MORE!

    She now has the energy she needs to take back control of her own life. She has results that speak for themselves, and would you believe me when I tell you that she enjoys cookies during holidays and going on vacation without feeling the need to track and has people compliment her on her physique regularly?
