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

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.

Tony is both personable and professional, which makes him a great teacher. I hired him to train me and my two teenage daughters on self defense combined with fitness. Each lesson has been full of technique, knowledge, and great exercise. These classes have actually been fun for my family while the same time we’re burning calories and learning to protect ourselves. Expectations have been beyond exceeded and we look forward to each class🥊.

Amine Belkhouche has been training martial arts with my father and I since he was a child, and I cannot say enough good things about him. He was always physically talented, but more importantly he has a wonderful disposition, and great attitude while training in a class as well as teaching his knowledge to others. More recently Amine, has become an instructor of Karate for the New Orleans Shotokan Academy, in which he teaches six kids classes per week. He is very innovative, and is able to bridge the knowledge of martial arts together with fun and exciting activities, in order to make training more interactive and fun. The skills he has acquired from his years as a professional soccer player, his passion for music, and his martial arts training, complement his training in GMB, in which he focuses on correct body movements that translate into any physical activity.
