The LMN is typically good for one year from the date it's signed. However, your physician may recommend a shorter duration.

Andie is just really good at what she does and I've had the best nutrition coaching experience with her. I was a little clueless when I first came to her, but she helped me figure out my goals and showed me exactly how to achieve what I wanted. A right nutritionist wouldn't just give you a meal plan to follow, but teach you how to structure your diet around your lifestyle and eventually into it. And that's exactly what Andie did for me. Most importantly, she taught me how to have a healthy relationship with food. She was available whenever I had questions no matter how basic and silly they were. The best part about Andie is that I felt like she really cared about my growth and was genuinely happy to see me progress in my body recomposition journey. This is most definitely a 5 star review and I highly encourage everyone to take nutrition coaching from Andie, regardless of your goals.

Hello, my name is Eric Lontag, for the past year, I've been living in Europe. I was stationed in Germany. A beautiful country with rich cuisine and an endless supply of beer. My weight escalated to more than 363 lbs. Several years ago, I was a muscled tone wielding machine of 170 lbs. FITNESSX365 was able to help shed, some of this weight that I desperately needed to lose. I was frantic from a medical standpoint, as well as from and aesthetic standpoint. I have always watched my weight. FITNESSX365 was able to supply a therapeutic regimen; that I could work on in a systematic manner. FITNESSX365 helped me eliminate 37 lbs. in a span of 3 months, and for that, I will be forever grateful. Thanks, FITNESSX365.
Sincerely,
Eric Lontag

I'm a father of an 11 year old young man, that has had the honor of learning under a great instructor. I have had a little training years ago. I am also prior service Military.
We are happy with the results being learned for health benefits as well as self defense being taught by Troy Logan.
The training sessions have people from different backgrounds. Each session that we have attended, have been inclusive of male and female students of various ages. The class seems to meet people where they are. We have noticed people with prior training as well as first time martial arts students. I have even brought guests.
The instruction is professional and fun.
We look forward to learning and enjoying more sessions to come.
