Client Testimonials and Progress Pictures

-Testimonials-

–
“Mindy, I can’t thank you enough. This was a fantastic season with you. I am so lucky to have found a coach as skilled and passionate as you are right off the bat!” -Alisha B.; competitor coaching client
–

“Mindy, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I truly value and respect your feedback. Your guidance means a lot to me—not just in helping me improve, but in the way you challenge and inspire me to work hard and continue to improve! 

You coach with such passion, wisdom, and strength, and it’s impossible not to be inspired by that. I’m incredibly grateful for your coaching, your support, and the example you set.

Thank you for the feedback and the kind words of encouragement.  You make a bigger impact than you probably realize, and I’m so thankful to be learning from you!”    -Stephanie H.; posing-coaching client

–
“I began working with Mindy in July 2023. I have Hashimoto’s and was looking for a coach who understood this disease. Mindy over the course of 5 months between my 2 shows turned my life around!
My metabolism is back where it needs to be and in my June show (my 1st show) I finished 6th in my age group.  In this November 2023 show under Mindy’s guidance, I placed second!  I can never thank her enough for her hard work and patience.
She has also helped tremendously with my posing. Mindy is definitely one of the best around!”, -Cindy E; competitor client
–
“Thank you so much for getting me through prep and where I was at my show. I don’t think I would have gotten there without your help. I’ve learned a ton about fitness and nutrition along the way that I’ll continue implementing daily, which I appreciate greatly!”; -Allee, S; competitor client 
–
“Mindy, I can’t thank you enough for your coaching throughout the year 2023. I honestly did not talk to another bikini competitor at the show who had stuck with their coach that long due to not getting along or other bigger issues. I’m really blessed to have found you first thing!” -Alisha B; competitor client
–
“I have been coached by Mindy since the beginning of 2023 and I feel blessed to have been. Mindy is not only intellectually talented, but she listens to your needs and aspirations. I tried for over 20 years to get into shape. I was able to exceed my expectations with the help of her diet and exercise routines.
I competed twice in the past two months and was very proud of my performance. I came home last time with 1st in the Bikini 40+ class AND 1st in the Bikini 50+ class and Mindy got to present my trophies. It was amazing!
She puts in so much effort into my check-ins and evaluations. Mindy always responds to emails in a timely manner and you never feel rushed with her calls. She’s a one of a kind and I’m so happy she’s my coach!”  -Lisa B; competitor client

“Mindy, here is an update on my progress: I’m back at my normal weight of 145!  I was up almost 10 pounds a year ago.  I switched to your kind of eating: whole foods, organic, proteins, fruits and veggies. Your plan works!
I lift weights 3 times a week along with walking on the treadmill, plus I practice yoga 3 times a week.  Additionally, 2 months ago I started intermittent fasting. My eating window is 12:30 to 7:30 PM.
You are right about eating good foods. There are so many chemicals in our food and drinks. It’s slowly killing everyone.  I’m 52…..I feel great.  This can be done!” -Shannon F; training client
–
“I was looking thru some of your Facebook posts and saw your before and after. You are a true legend!!!!
Your transformation is amazing and I am so glad to be working with someone who is willing to help others with all aspects of training.
Most coaches focus on only appearances and you work with both mind, body and spirit.  You are a true hero in my book and I am thankful to have you in my corner!” -Lisa B; competitor client
–
“Mindy is a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge and expertise is extremely helpful in achieving one’s goal of competing!” -Gabrielle F., posing client
–
“Another great week of training….Love the work outs!  I’ve changed so much in our time together and love it.  Calories are high, cardio is low.  I’m so much stronger.  I’m thankful for you!”  -Robyn W, general fitness client 
–
“I trust you and I am seeing changes every day in someway, either to my body, to my workout, to my diet, or to my knowledge of things.  I really am enjoying the journey!” -Stacy J., competitor client
–
“Mindy is seriously the competition whisperer!  She has helped me manifest this physique over the last 12 weeks.  I am so thankful for her knowledge in nutrition, food labels, training, and all the things!” -EmmaLynn M., competitor client
–
“Thank you for sticking with me and trying new things.  Your support and advice mean everything to me!  It’s tough mentally and physically when you feel like you have to go it alone all the time!” -Jenny G., general fitness client 
–
“I looked in the mirror and thought, ‘Is this really me?’  I am SO happy with my progress in the way my body has changed in the muscle I have put on in the short amount of time, thanks to all your help!  I definitely could not have done this without you.  I have never been more confident and happy in my own skin.  Take the competition out of the equation and I think the real win here is that I am truly, truly happy and feel so good!”  -Stacy J., competitor client
–
“You are a wonderful coach, motivator, and dare I say friend!  You have supported me in so many ways.  I am so happy to call you coach and keep rocking this lifestyle.  Thank you so much!” -Kristina N., competitor client
–
“I made one of the best decisions in my life to hire a coach to guide me.  Quarantine was my first experience with significant weight gain.  I had to make a change.
Mindy took me by the hand in 2020 to show me proper nutrition and form for lifting.  She loves what she does and I’m blessed to have shared so many early mornings with her.  I lost the weight over the course of a few months and was building shapes I had never seen on my body!” -Sarah S., training/coaching client
–
“Like I said in my check-in, I am thinking of this as a long-term lifestyle change, not just for a competition anymore.  The competition is like the icing on the cake or a way to showcase your hard work and dedication to the lifestyle.
I have always lived a pretty healthy lifestyle, but I cannot tell you enough how much I have learned from you.  I formerly spent all of my attention and energy on working out, but never gave as much attention to my nutrition.  Now I am seeing the benefits of that and how important it is….and how great I can really feel!!” -Stacy J., competitor client
–
“I was deleting pictures last night and found a picture from April 7th. Comparing that picture to now (Early June), I can’t believe how much my body has changed!  The scale hasn’t really moved, but I look so much better!! (I thought I looked like I was carrying extra weight there- when actually I look so clearly depleted and exhausted!).  Lock down has really been a blessing for me and I genuinely can’t thank you enough for helping me!” -Rosie L., competitor client
–
“Love that I’m seeing some new lines in my muscle definition!  Thanks for helping me stick to it and jump start some great changes that allow me to feel confident in my swimsuit.  That’s a really big deal for me!” -Stacy K., competitor client

–

“I’m not sure if I will compete in June or try to continue to re-shape my body and maybe reconsider the next season.  I’m happy to be content with meeting personal goals and competing against myself to change up my physique and feel good.  Your program, advice, encouragement, accountability, and example have been just what I needed!” -Leigh F., competitor client

–

“The best decision I made was reaching out to Mindy! She is a wonderful coach. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable constantly evaluating individuals systems to gain results and better serve her clients rather than suggesting “quick fixes” she is also caring and speaks from experience. It is clearly evident Mindy is in this business for all the right reasons! I highly recommend Mindy Irish.” -Melinda B., coaching client

–

“Mindy started coaching me on posing so I could feel comfortable on stage and how to bring to life all that I was watching online about posing.  She also then became my Coach and tweaked my workouts and nutrition to focus on MY body and MY goals.  She has pushed me and supported me, and even talked me off the ledge a couple of times!  I have learned so much about my body and how to respond and adjust with food, movement, sleep, and self-care.  After all that, I just competed in my first NPC Bikini show at the age of 51.  I definitely would not be here without her!” -Christine V., competitor client

–

A former client checking back in: “Mindy, I miss hanging out with you in the gym!  You are going to rock it at your next competition.  I think of you often and the things I have learned from you continue to bless my life.  Hang in there!  Praising God for you and your ministry!”  -Tafrica H., posing client turned coaching/training client

–

“I’ve really been wanting to pick a show for next year, so I’ve been throwing out dates to my Coach.  Instead of saying, ‘Whatever you want.  We’ll make it happen!’, or other false promises, she’s been giving it to me straight!  So you can say my Coach is not only exercising my body, but she’s exercising my commitment and patience as well!” -Mel P., competitor client training for her first show

–

“I found you doing Google searches.  I have been reading website through website for fitness coaches.  You are the ONLY one I messaged.  I liked your website the best.  It seems very down to earth, with real people and good information.  Thank you for your help and for being incredibly patient with me.  I am SO very glad I found you online.  You are unlike any fitness coach I have encountered.  I am thankful for you!” -Mandy G., coaching client

–

“Good morning, here’s my stats and pics. I’m still loving this lean machine and so glad that we did this journey.  The results are the best I’ve ever looked!  Thanks so much!” -Stacy K., competitor client

–

“I have learned so much from you, that I feel confident going forward, at least for a few months, with my current goals.   I truly have a new approach to nutrition and training, but well beyond the basics. You’ve taught me the importance of rest, sleep, digestion, and even mental health, on my well-being. That’s more than I can say for any other coach I’ve had.   That being said, I bucket-listed figure or bikini competitions and I can think of no one better to help me succeed, so I will most definitely be back!  Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve made a huge impact on my life. I am so grateful!” -Abby K., coaching client

–

“Mindy- A little success to share with u: I woke up this morning and realized I don’t need a pillow to prop up my shoulder when I’m sleeping on my side, as it is now staying in place on its own and not collapsing forward. Must be all the shoulder and back work I’ve been doing!! Thank u!!” -Natalie C., coaching client

–

“I’m really looking forward to working with you again.  Even if I learn even a fraction of what I learned the last round, then it will be a very rewarding journey!”  -Stacy K., competitor client, (returning for coaching again)

–

“So far into the 100-Day Challenge, this has been an opportunity to re-focus and be real about what I have been doing (eating, drinking, sleep, etc). I took a look at my patterns and now I have gone back to tracking my food, thinking about getting enough sleep, and moving more.  Just the basics!” -Hannah O., 100-day challenge client

–

“I can’t thank you enough for helping me with my posing.  You made me feel confident to pose on stage!” -Morgan E., posing client earning 2 1st place in Novice and True Novice and a 3rd Place in Open Bikini

–

“I had my first 1-on-1 posing lessons with Mindy this weekend!  What a fun experience!  I learned so much so quickly.  You are an amazing teacher, Mindy.  Thank you!” -Britney M., posing client

–

“As a personal trainer, gym owner, and marathon runner, I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and take a stab at a bodybuilding competition.  I love a good fitness challenge, so I hired Mindy to teach me the “ins and outs” of bikini posing and to hold me accountable with my nutrition choices.  Mindy takes a holistic approach to the sport, and not once did my body ever feel depleted.  I actually felt MORE nourished by some of the dietary changes I made.
I ended up placing well in my first competition, so the competitor in me quickly signed up for another one, where I took first place!  I couldn’t have done it without Mindy’s guidance, and I’m so thankful to call her “Coach” and friend!”  -Ashley D., competitor client

–

“These two have been our personal trainers since the last week of December 2017. The results we have experienced have been remarkable. Christine and I both show weight loss, physique/figure improvements and new nutrition habits. We have dedicated ourselves to a change in lifestyle, not just a temporary change to get an outcome. We hope to model these two incredible examples of how changing your life and sticking to a plan will automatically give you the results you desire while building a strong, healthy body. Thanks Mindy Irish and Dan Irish for your patience, training and knowledge. And thanks God, for bringing them into our lives! If you have an interest, Mindy and Dan are certified personal trainers with an awesome home gym and I’m sure would love to chat with you about what they provide.” -Dick and Christine A., couples’ personal training clients

–

“I appreciate your guidance and knowledge.  For twenty years I suffered from IBS, a colonoscopy indicated Crohn’s, and I had daily bloat. Since we have started coaching together and I’ve cut all of those nasty foods out of my diet, I rarely have the negative symptoms (unless I eat black beans!)  It feels so good to be in control. I often think about all the random crap I’d cram in my mouth. Not now!   Thank you!” -Eva R., coaching client

–

“Feeling really grateful for you and for this program.  I’m feeling more and more excited about the new life I am charting for myself and hopefully my family.  One year ago at this time I was in a desperate spot, searching for something that would help reset my body and help manage the constant neck & back tension and headaches. I was in the mindset of “is this going to be my life?”  “This is NOT who I am”.  You have provided the anchor for this new phase .. and I have worked some of my former homeopathic treatments so that now I feel like a totally different person, not scared to push my limits and be excited about tomorrow. It’s strange to be crawling out of my former mindset and so liberating. It’s a work in progress but I am so grateful for your constant support and inspiration, Mindy.” -Natalie C., coaching client

–

“Thank you for teaching me how to track my macronutrients (carbs, fats, and proteins) and for guiding me to put a whole-food day together on my own <without a meal plan/template!>.  Now I can do this for life!” -Kristen H., competitor coaching client

–

“Since I’ve been personal training with you 1x weekly for 2 months now, I’m stronger and more stable when I carry my boys around the house!” -Leslie B., personal training client

–

“I wanted to let you know that I am back in all my old favorite jeans!! It was a fun and rewarding moment of cleaning my closet out the other day.  Just because I hadn’t got down to 130 again, I didn’t even imagine they would fit- but those inches are falling off!! No more focus on the  pounds! I’m feeling great and trying to key in on more snacks throughout the day that are Mom and busy-day convenient.” –Cayla M., coaching client

–

“Thank you for your amazing wealth of knowledge and time.  You were more than helpful and patient.  I have much to practice, but want to come back for another posing soon.  You rock!” -Kelly J., posing client

–

“After a full day of skiing (8 hours on the slopes), my husband and children were sore for 2 days.  I didn’t feel a thing!” -Carrie V., coaching client, celebrating using weight training and being prepared for strength and balance in real-life activities 

–

“Not everyone can afford a 1:1 personal trainer, but if you ever want to get your money’s worth, Mindy Irish is the real deal. She’ll teach you to focus on choices, “little” day to day choices, that add up to HUGE positive changes, in energy, health, spirit, peace, and last (and maybe least) weight. I highly recommend her as you’ll not only get the help you desire, but you’ll learn how to help yourself!”   -Sara W., coaching client

–

“In your weekly check-in email where I report my stress levels on the last line of your template has been CRITICAL to my progress; absolutely CRITICAL.  Documenting that, seeing that, understanding that in relation to my health has been one of the many awesome things about working with your guidance.” -Kelly P., coaching client

–

“I just left my Dr. and wanted to share her report.  She said my gut health is the best shape it has ever been in the 4 years I have been her patient!  I shared with her how I’ve been working with you and our goals for me.  She was ecstatic that I have a Coach that is like-minded and practices the lifestyle that I need!  So I’m thankful to have you and her both encouraging and speaking into my health choices so I can be the healthiest version of myself.  Thank you!” –Kelly G., coaching client

–

“After a few sessions of personal training, I can now go down the stairs in traditional fashion.  I’m getting stronger and no longer have to side step one stair at a time!” -Christine A., personal training client

–

“Thanks for sticking with me for the past 14 months and for pushing me to be my best self! I know I had a rough start back then because I was going through a bad break-up, but I feel like my mindset and the way I look at food and my workouts have completely changed.  I have gained tons of knowledge from you and your coaching, and will be prepared to continue on in my fitness journey because of that.” -Stephanie M., coaching client

–

“Thank you for taking the extra time to teach me and be specific to my needs.  You’ve been very patient with me to help me understand how to study myself.  I have a long ways to go and a lot more to learn, but I really appreciate that!”  -Darla S., coaching client

–

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because of what you taught me, I changed my habits and changed my lifestyle. That is when I saw the results and haven’t gained any of the weight back like previous times.  I’m back in the gym and working on my summer body now!” –Jessica C., coaching client

–

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for coaching and guiding me these months. I have learned so much about my system, lifting weights,  and my body. I haven’t loved my body or myself like I do now in a long time. I can’t wait to see what the future brings.” –Danni W., competitor coaching client

–

“Thank you for all the feedback!  I can honestly say I have never had a Coach be so thorough with as much helpful feedback!  THANK you for the motivation, giving me your insights on different things, and all the helpful suggestions!”  -Amber C., coaching client

–

“Thank you for everything!  You have been very encouraging to me!”  -Steffi P., coaching client

–

“I’m seeing slow progress and I can understand why it takes years to really transform into a better physique.  Thank you! I am truly blessed to have found you! I can’t thank you enough! Your program is the BEST.” -Raida A., coaching client

–

“I am super excited about the shape of my legs!! In all of the years I trained, they’ve never looked this good. It’s AWESOME!!!” -Andrea B., coaching client

–

“Thanks for the encouragement!  I’m noticing and loving the small changes, like my legs toning up, my bat wings are slowly going away, and muscles in my back feeling tighter and more noticeable.  I honestly don’t think I’ll ever go back to my old ways!” -Kelly P., coaching client

–

“I’m home from my trip now.  My dining out will be less often, and I splurged a little these past few days while we were away, but I did feel I did a lot better having you there to help guide me from day to day.” -Cheryl B., coaching client

–

“I’m loving tracking my food and the protein/fiber secret is key! My weight is down and more importantly I feel fantastic.  I don’t feel deprived at all. Knowing what I am eating actually helps me realize I can splurge without feeling terrible about myself.  Monday night we had a work dinner that included a four-course meal with wine pairings. I made great choices during the day, enjoyed the meal, and still came pretty close to my macros.”-Becky C., coaching client

–

“I saw your post on Instagram today—thank you!! I loved it! I always feel so spoiled! You always do so much for your clients.  It shows how much compassion you have for your clients and it’s a food feeling when you know you have support on all corners. Thank you so much for being you and going the extra mile for all of us!” -Raida A., coaching client

–

“A week and a half ago I invested in this for me and for my health.  I can workout until I can’t sweat anymore, I can run for miles on end, but I have a hard time resisting food that I shouldn’t be eating.  I try to eat well 80% of the time, but I never really knew if it was actually 80%.  Mindy is coaching me through becoming more aware of my daily food choices and what it is doing for my body and for my goals.  She has set goals for me based on the “If It Fits Your Macros” (IIFYM) flexible dieting program.  This is a work in progress for me and I am enjoying the knowledge and the tricks I am learning.  The best thing is, I can eat a piece of apple pie or a cookie… if it fits my macros for the day.”-Hollie N., coaching client; mom of 2 and writer at Muscles and Munchkins
