This episode is a replay from a recent interview with Coach Krysta in the hot seat on a fellow nutrition and fitness podcast show, called The Fit Farming Food Mom. Coach Krysta sat down with host Connie Nightingale to share more about her personal fitness and nutrition journey--everything from how Krysta got into coaching, how she personally found macro tracking, and how her relationship to food, working out, and everything in between has shaped The Fitness FYX program into what it is today. As Coach Krysta explains to her clients often: The Fitness FYX coaching method is structured in a way that prevents clients from repeating the "mistakes" that Coach Krysta did. While there aren't truly mistakes along the journey, there are certainly lessons. The biggest one for Coach Krysta personally? Learning how to eat more--with intention. In this conversation, Krysta and Connie break down: - What reverse dieting--a hot diet buzz word--actually is and how it works - Why there's power in thoughtfully increasing your calories and focusing on nutrition from a place of abundance, not scarcity - How high-intensity bootcamp style classes only afforded Krysta results for so long - How Krysta neglected sleep, recovery, and stress management in her early 20s, all while operating on lower-calorie diets - How Krysta realized stress was impacting her body negatively - What led to a rapid weight gain for Coach Krysta in 2020-2021, and how she's navigated fat loss since If you'd like to learn more about whether you'd be the right candidate to try reverse dieting, The Fitness FYX has officially lots its newest free resource: our METABOLIC ASSESSMENT takes the guesswork out of whether you should consider eating more vs. eating less.

Coach Krysta is back with a similar episode format we ran in July, where we let The FYX listeners in on one of our group coaching calls with The Fitness FYX 1:1 client community. This week, we're diving into the growth mindset. We had a group discussion about how we view our pasts, specificially, how we're the storytellers and creators of the narrative we use to describe something in our rear view. When it comes fitness and nutrition, Coach Krysta believes that the stories we tell ourselves--the way we view our pasts--keep us from losing the weight we'd like to lose, despite knowing a lot of what it takes to actually make the changes in our lives. Coach Krysta opens up about her personal experiences in the past 4 years, and how she's chosen to rewrite the narrative for herself. Krysta shares more about: How she struggled to get back into a fitness routine after taking several months off in 2020 when gyms closed The shame she initially felt around trying to navigate her coaching career as someone who'd gained weight in a short time, and stopped working out altogether How her mess is now her message How much more relatable she feels to clients who struggle with weight loss and to The FYX community How The Fitness FYX coaching method has evolved because of Krysta's personal experiences, missteps, lessons, and priorities Krysta also references a past podcast episode on how to address the F*ck it moments.

We're back with this month's edition of Faces of The FYX, featuring client Samantha Riley, who is also a member of The Fitness FYX team as our operations assistant. Sam joined The Fitness FYX program almost one year ago and in that time has completely transformed both physically and mentally. She's dropped more than 20 pounds in less than 10 months, all while intentionally eating more food to support a healthy metabolism, and find the elusive balance eveyone claims to be looking for when it comes to eating healthy, losing weight, and saying yes to foods and drinks that would've previously stalled our progress. In this episode, Krysta and Sam discuss: Sam's past dieting attempts, which consisted mostly of restrictive diets and pre-made meals like Nutrisystem How The Fitness FYX method has changed Sam's relationship with food--for the better Sam's fitness journey from Orange Theory to Crossfit and now strength training in the gym solo Why anyone looking to lose fat and build muscle should commit to a program for at least one year How Sam is navigating wedding prep: hint -- she started on her weight loss journey early enough that there will be no crash dieting or fear of weight gain in her future Ready to commit to those pre-summer promises you made?

Fall is in full swing with Labor Day Weekend just behind us, and it's time. It's time you made good on the promises you committed to back in early June, just after Memorial Day--you know, when you said you'd revisit your weight loss goals after the summer was over. I somewhat hate to be the one to say this, FYX listener, but the summer is over, and that means you have a decision to make: take action or continue to kick the proverbial can down the road. In this episode, Coach Krysta provides a blueprint for a few simple habits you can implement in your life to see radical change to your physique--it includes the exact habits that all of The Fitness FYX clients focused on inside of our 1:1 coaching program. To create momentum for the month of September, The Fitness FYX Community is hosting an internal habits-based challenge and you too can be a part. This episode lays out the parameters and also explains why these habits are so impactful when it comes to fat loss. For the rest of the month commit to the following and watch your body--and mindset--begin to transform: 1. Limit meals out to 1-2x per week 2. Cut weekly average alcohol consumption in half 3. Hit your daily protein goal (aim for your bodyweight in grams of protein) 4. Consume at least 80 oz. of water daily 5. Add a 30-min. walk to your routine to increase your daily average steps by at least 2,000 6. Minimum 7 hours sleep or increase your daily average by at least 30 minutes 7. Strength train 4-5 days a week, focusing on a resistance and rep range where the last 2-3 reps are close to failure for each set Want to join in on the challenge with some real accountability?

Coach Krysta has a short list of fitness and nutrition myths and claims that we're just done with--statements we're tired of hearing, and lies that are still being spread by fad diets and social media. By no means is this episode an exhaustive list, but we asked The Fitness Team, our clients, and our followers to weigh in with the comments and beliefs they're so done with. To name a few covered in the episode: "I can’t eat that, I’m on a diet." or "I can’t go out to dinner with friends because I can’t eat anything on the menu" Lower calories will get you faster or more dramatic weight loss "I’m not making progress because the scale isn't moving." "What’s the secret?" There is no secret Food tracking food is too time consuming You can't drink alcohol if you want to lose weight High reps with low weight will get you toned Heavier weights will make you bulky Bread is bad for you You’re not losing weight because of your hormones I can’t afford to pay that much (yet they’re going out to dinner 2-3x a week) I have no time to workout or meal prep I’ll just start again on Monday We're currently accepting 1:1 clients into our program.

In this solo episode, Coach Krysta dives into two fundamental questions around assessing what actually WORKS for us when it comes to the way we exercise--and eat--and how much time we should really put into a certain program before deciding that it is or isn't helping us get closer to our fat loss goals. Episode Highlights: Many clients struggle with deciphering whether the effort they're putting in actually aligns with the results they're seeing. Coach Krysta explores some of the common myths that people rely on to measure the effectiveness of their workouts like how much they sweat, the calorie burn tracked on their Apple Watch, or how much variety they're getting on a weekly basis. Effort and focus: Are you at a point in your fitness journey where you've dedicated enough time and energy into exploring just one area, like your nutrition, to confrim that it works for you? We juggle a lot of variables when it comes to our bodies, and are often overwhelmed by trying to manage it all. With The Fitness FYX method, most clients typically start with nutrition. Once we set that foundation, we can then determine what results they may be leaving on the table from their workout routines. How do we initiate change? Where do we even begin when we're dissatisfied with our progress? I'll guide you through practical steps--like hiring a coach--to put a plan together that actually gives you the body you want. The power of maturity in your fitness journey: When is it actually time to level up? It's not about constantly chasing novelty or the latest fitness trends. It's about consistency and foundational movements. The importance of matching methods to goals: Are you tempted to mimic someone else's approach to fitness just because it worked for them? If you want your approach to last, YOU have to take ownership of the process, even under the guidance of a coach. We're currently accepting 1:1 clients into our program.

In this episode, Coach Krysta sits down with one of the incredible women who makes up The Fitness FYX community. Amanda Norman has been a client with The Fitness FYX team for the past 8 months and has completely transformed her relationship with food and healthy living. Amanda also has OCD, a condition she was diagnosed with in her late teens. Amanda and Krysta discuss: - What obsessive compulsive disorder actually looks like for most people - Understanding that OCD is a type of anxiety - How OCD has impacted Amanda's health - How The Fitness FYX program has helped Amanda lose 10 pounds and counting - How Amanda and Krysta have worked together to change her relationship with food - How Amanda has transformed her mindset and set goals to live her best and healthiest life through The Fitness FYX We're currently accepting 1:1 clients into our program.

If you've ever been a regular group fitness goer, you most likely agree that the top selling points of the experience include the energy of sweating with other people, the motivation in a room surrounded by individuals who push themselves to reach their highest potential, and plain and simple--easily making friends who share a common bond for health and wellness. Just about any fitness studio can brag on its community--to the point where it's not so much a selling point as it is a standard practice today. The exception? The Athletic Clubs. NYC's private-member club that's structured to where participants train in squads: upon enrollment, you're assigned a specific group (up to 25 people), a dedicated coach, and 2 set times per week where your squad trains together. This isn't your average drop-in, transactional boutique workout. In this episode, Coach Krysta sits down with The Athletic Clubs' founder, Dane McCarthy. The Athletic Clubs are home to three locations (one of which is on the way in Williamsburg) in New York City. Krysta and Dane discuss: - How the concept of squad training formed and ultimately led to the development of The Athletic Clubs - The otherwise transactional and anoynmous nature of the boutique fitness space - How The Athletic Clubs cultivate community, especially by leveraging technology - What it means to be a community-oriented gym, not another fitness modality - How The Athletic Clubs training mixes well with other workouts To learn more about The Athletic Clubs and to see if you're a fit for a squad, check out the company's IG page @the.athleticclubs Follow each location: @westvillageathletic @greenwichvillageathletic @williamsburgathletic Follow Dane: @mccarthydane We're currently accepting 1:1 clients into our program.

We're taking you behind the scenes into our 1:1 coaching program in this episode, which is actually a recording from one of our recent weekly meetings for the members of our Fitness FYX coaching community. If you want a taste of the exact topics we tackle inside of our coaching program, then this episode is for you. As we kick off a new month, and less than five months left in the year at that, Coach Krysta walks her clients through a goal setting exercise--one that asks them to redefine what healthy means in their lives. This conversation, and the goal setting activity inside of it, encourages you to be more tangible in your approach: focus on the actions you need to take to achieve your desired outcomes like weight loss, muscle gain, and more confidence. Our clients also highlight: - the importance of a supportive community and supportive relationships in achieving their goals - the power of education and knowledge acquired in working with a coach - the benefit of having flexibility in their nutrition plans and approaches to losing body fat Get your hands on a copy of the goal setting worksheet by filling out this form We're currently accepting 1:1 clients into our program.
