How do you find RTSF to be different? Coach Kale has been a great fit for me. When I hired him, I thought, ok, I’ve tried every other quick fix/diet trend, what if I hired someone to help me do the actual work to be fit and healthy.

The programming is simple and has become ritualistic. When something isn’t working, or I needed a modification during pregnancy, he changed it. We didn’t need to change everything all the time in order to add perceived value. Coach guides me just enough but doesn’t hand hold.

This has been empowering because I needed to be the one to actually do the work. Understand my food. This took more effort on my part but set me up better for success. Could he have given me a simple meal plan, of course. But that isn’t as valuable or empowering as being able to navigate literally any restaurant menu and stick to my goals.

The progress photos also helped me to see my body improving even when the scale wasn’t moving linearly.

Why you love fitness: Who doesn’t!

I love fitness because it gives you energy, makes you healthy and you feel good, look good and accomplish many goals you set!

I feel better about my day and feel great after a work out!

How do you find RTSF to be different? I find RTS I have to be different to any other programs because no matter how busy your day can get, RTSF will be there no matter what and the guidance and online help will always be there!

Why I love fitness: I went to nursing school to get my bachelors of science in nursing and then went back to get my Masters Degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner and currently work in a Family Practice, which I love!

Why I love fitness: I love fitness for so many different reasons! But the number one reason I love fitness is because it allows me to stay active and healthy for my lifestyle and my family. Fitness helps me have mental clarity and gives me energy for everyday life! Fitness is unique to each person but that is “my why”.

How is RTSF different: I could go on and on about this one. Before RTSF I was stuck in the cycle of “fitness is life and no days off mentality” . I will be the first to tell you... that is NO way to live and RTSF helped me break that cycle. I was in the gym 6 days per week AND doing 20 minutes of cardio. Now, I’m training 3x per week and No cardio unless I choose to do so for fun! With the help of RTSF, fitness is now a part of my life but it is not my entire life. This program has given me my life back and now I enjoy date nights, drinks, dinners and so much more with NO stress. Let RTSF help you live this way all while getting and staying at your leanest year round

Why I love fitness: I love fitness because it is 100% unique to every individual.

There is no right or wrong with fitness, just the one track that brings YOU joy!

Fitness doesn't have to be a temporary phase you go through to meet your "goal size". It can be an amazing part of your everyday life!!

How is RTSF different: There are no words for the amazingness of this program. It isn't a program that is just out to take your money, throw you a meaningless, unindividualized plan, and call it a day. This program cares. This program LITERALLY changed my life. It taught me that being 90 pounds, tired, starving, and weak is NOT beauty. It gave me a plan that was meant for ME and continues to grow with me. It is a plan that is realistic, makes me grow as a person, and WORKS!!!

RTSF Athlete: 1.5 years

Location/ Hometown: Haddonfield, New Jersey

BIO: I graduated from Widener University with my Bachelors and Masters in Special Education and Assistive Technology. I worked as a special education teacher at the elementary level for 7 years teaching students with reading disabilities and autism. Now, I am a stay at home mom with my two babies and a lifestyle blogger.

Fitness Journey: I was a competitive swimmer my entire life and grew up in an extremely active family. After my swimming career was over, I found my love of the gym and lifting weights. I taught exercise classes at local gyms throughout my college years. Fitness is apart of who I am.. and by taking care of myself.. it helps me better take care of the ones that I love

How is Ripped To Shredz Different from other styles of coaching: Honestly joining the RTSF program has changed my life. It is one of the best investments I have ever made.

I finally feel like I have a balance in my life and I am not obsessing about the gym, cardio, and food. I promised myself after having my 2nd child that I wanted to be in the best shape of my life, both physically & mentally.

RTSF Athlete: 6 months

Location/Hometown: Twin Cities, Minnesota

BIO: Full time marketing manager for a wealth management and financial services firm. Married, Air Force Wife, Husband is an F16 pilot! I have the best golden retriever pup named Colonel. I love eating froyo, staying in on friday nights, and coffee mugs!

Fitness Journey: I have always been an athlete, muscular bigger boned individual. I was a swimmer, a gymnast, ran track and field, and played softball throughout growing up. I went through 5 surgeries in my left arm and shoulder that taught me how to rebuild my body and become stronger, without letting ANYTHING stop me or anyone tell me something was impossible.

After dealing with the pressure and stress of college, i sought relief in the gym. Mainly focusing on cardio since i have an elbow that was unstable and not healthy enough yet to weight lift.

Since having my surgery i have been chasing a journey for over three years now. I am self taught in lifting and nutrition.

I've been up, down, muscular, lean, tiny, food obsessed and food deprived. I have had my own struggles with weight, numbers and balance.

My story is all too familiar to most people. I have learned the value of being able to sustain, to fuel my body TRULY and to love and live life with both nutrition and training. I train for life. I eat for life and health, and for fun. Food isnt an enemy or a reason to stress.

I strive to help others see that the gym doesnt have to be your life, you dont have to be a prisoner to a diet or food. And I want to make an impact on all who want to be happy strong and confident in their physique without rebounding or sacrificing living.

Team FTSF, Why is it different from other methods? This approach is fool proof. It can be tailored to any single person: people who are different in their own right, who love the gym and their bodies. Who love food but want a way to live lean or live healthy on their terms, without it being a make or break approach. This approach shows people all that they truly can achieve, without the stress of being in control of their diet and intake. Sometimes you need someone to be subjective about your life and goals. Someone who will just be there to encourage you and truly want you to have a sustainable and maintainable lifestyle that works for EVERYONE. Not an approach that only glorifies the coach, but an approach that works for anyone who is willing to invest in themselves. Kali helped me reverse, and take away the fear of cutting cardio and not having a rigid strict gym life, this approach can change anyone who is willing to invest in themselves for life.
