I completed Lindsay's 6 week program and wow! I can truly say that it was a life changing…read moreexperience!! In the past 4 years, I had gained 40+ lbs due to some special medicine I was taking (and probably some overeating of hamburgers too haha). I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it. Juice cleanses, special diets, pills, multiple private trainers, you name it and I had done it. Unfortunately, nothing stuck. Knowing my wedding was just around the corner, I had to do something to get the weight off for good. I wanted to feel confident on my wedding day! I found Lindsay through a quick yelp search and was intrigued. Let's get this straight. This is not a special fad diet or some strict eating plan, its a way of life! Lindsay gives you the tools, skills, and mindset to make a long lasting change in your lifestyle. During the course of the 6 weeks, I lost 8+ lbs and now (more than 3 months later) I'm still continuing to lose weight by following what she taught me. I plan to be at my goal weight in the next 3 months (in time for my wedding!) And most importantly, I feel fantastic!!!!! I feel like a whole new person. Yes, it's a monetary investment but it was worth every penny :) do it!!!

I started working with Lindsay in August and she has been great! I've been a yo-yo dieter for as…read morelong as I can remember and I never really learned about proper nutrition. I was always looking for that quick/easy way to lose weight and while I have been successful in the past, it always comes back. With Lindsay's program, I feel confident that this is something I can keep up with long term and I have already seen amazing results. Not only do I notice a physical change, but mentally I feel so much better as well. I am sleeping better and have more energy. As other reviewers have said, this is not a strict or fad diet but a different way of life. I eat out a lot and starting this program I was worried I wasn't going to be able to do that. However, Lindsay taught me some tips and tricks so that I can still eat out, drink and socialize but still eat healthy and it can still taste good. I can't wait to see what happens in the next few months!

I cannot speak highly enough of Elliot, Kevin, Ari and the entire staff at TFN. I joined the studio…read morea few months ago and have been impressed by several points: 1) The space: At first, I was taken aback that this is not a full gym, but rather a modestly sized studio. What it lacks in comparison to a larger gym, it makes up for both in focus (e.g, squats, bench press, deadlifts) and expertise (e.g., squat shoes, professional grade equipment). 2) The atmosphere: Upon arrival at the studio, I am reminded of the TV show "Cheers", where one is greeted with warm hello's and welcomes. Everybody knows your name. Also noteworthy - the other guests at the studio are of all ages and capabilities. I recall a moment where everyone stopped their own routines to cheer on a 60 year old woman as she hit her personal best in a deadlift. I had a cheering section as I struggled with a push-up challenge. It is a warm, inclusive and supportive environment. 3) The expertise: Kevin and the team have a methodical, evidence based approach to building strength and technique. He, along with Elliot, Erik and others, have helped me see the finer points of how to lift safely. Rather than piling on the plates, they make me earn the weight with good technique. We progressed through body weight and kettle bells, onto dumbbells and then Olympic bars, only advancing once I demonstrated proficiency with the technique. In addition, I engaged Ari to help me reflect on my nutrition goals and how to integrate my diet with my weight lifting. All of the staff are available online, which helps when I'm traveling. I would encourage anyone to visit TFN and take a few sessions. They effectively blend professionalism, expertise, and warmth; I am excited about my progress in a short period of time and hope you will experience the same.

Mike really knows his stuff and has been able to tailor programming to my needs very well. No cookie cutter programming here! I initially sought out training at TFN because I was having some pain with lifting, and Mike tweaked my technique and gave me lots of helpful cues that helped me to lift pain free so I can keep getting stronger. Highly recommend for any experience level!

I came here in December looking for direction on what I was doing wrong in terms of my eating. After a quick consultation, Mary didn't try to blame me or tell me what I was doing wrong but more so, what I was missing in my diet. She actually speaks your language and at least in my particular case, did not force me into a fad diet or cutting out of any of my beloved foods, just better portioning. I really appreciate her non judgmental nature and how down to earth she is. She also has a whole binder of food recommendations from stores like Trader Joe's and even certain products at her home you can try if you'd like. It makes the experience easy for even the most novice "health conscious" person. I highly recommend visiting Mary!

I felt welcome and comfortable both time and had several nice conversations with the staff. They are very accommodating and relaxed. Scheduling has been easy.

I have two young kids (now 6 & 8) plus work full time. Luckily I met up with Dominique in my quest…read moreto become healthier early in 2011. What I love about Dominique is she really personalizes the whole experience, she understands limitations, yet pushes you to learn and make better choices. Because I love to cook, I found myself frequently grabbing "comfort" food. I didn't want someone to give me a list of foods to eat (all of us trying to loose weight know we should eat more vegetables) I wanted someone to show me how to cook those vegetables in a variety of different ways, put them together and make a satisfying nutritious meal. I needed someone to help me make those vegetable exiting and show me alternatives to butter and heave creams. Additionally I needed someone make me accountable for what I ate EVERY day, not just a weekly or monthly summary. Keeping a food journal is tough, Dominique made that simple. What Dominique taught me is how to cook healthier and how healthy food can be flavorful and easy to make. My job required travel at least once a month, business dinners, and Friday morning pastries. She provided me with tools to make smart decisions in those situations. For example, while in Paris, I could eat my pain au chocolate, - but eat smart the rest of the day, and make sure I walked the streets to restaurants. Consequently, I went to Paris for week and didn't gain a pound. I lost 30 pounds, felt fantastic and my whole family benefits from my healthy cooking example. I have more to go and fall off the "horse" occasionally, but Dominique has been there to help me back in the saddle. We still grill meats and bake lasagnas, we just have better sides to go with them. Now my kids can't go four days without their fruit smoothies, and they ask for seconds of my kale soup. I am very pleased I made the decision for us to work together.

Overall, as long as you are committed and listen to her instructions, it is a great program! Background: I am a Type 2 Diabetic and she helped me learn how to eat nutritiously, lose weight, and lower my blood glucose levels substantially.

My ultimate goals are to get off of Metformin completely and maintain a healthy weight. I highly recommend her program!
