Losing weight can feel overwhelming. Many people struggle with what to eat and how to exercise. Working with a personal trainer and nutrition coach like me makes such a big difference. Exercise and diet go hand in hand. If you only focus on one, your results will be slower. At Hive Fitness Journey, I have helped many people reach their weight loss goals by focusing on fitness and proper nutrition. Let’s discuss why this combination is the best way to lose weight. Take a look at our most recent member, Laura at Hive Fitness Journey, who has lost 30 lbs in just over 3 months by focusing on nutrition and exercise.

Why Exercise and Nutrition Work Best Together

Many people try to lose weight by only exercising or only dieting. However, studies show that using both is much more effective.

• As quoted by a source, successful weight loss combines diet and exercise.
• According to the CDC, combining healthy eating with regular physical activity leads to faster and long-lasting weight loss.
• For more facts, check out what the OASH has to say

When you focus on both, your body burns more calories while getting the proper fuel it needs.

How a Personal Trainer Helps with Weight Loss

A personal trainer like Coach Martin Kiefer at Hive Fitness Journey is more than just someone who tells you what exercises to do. I help my clients by:

1. Creating a workout plan – Every person is different. I design workouts based on your fitness level and goals.
2. Keeping you accountable – Skipping a workout when no one is watching is easy. A trainer makes sure you stay on track. Skipping documenting your food when you’re supposed to be tracking is not something he will let you get away with quickly.
3. Teaching proper form – Bad form leads to injuries. I help correct movements so you stay safe. Form over strength wins each time, so I will pay attention to all details and keep you challenged with every session.
4. Keeping workouts fun—Many people stop exercising because they get bored. I switch things up to keep workouts exciting. We constantly use various modalities and focus not only on major muscle groups but also on your stabilizers each session.
5. Helping you burn more fat – Strength training and cardio together help burn calories faster.

How a Nutrition Coach Helps with Weight Loss

Exercise alone won’t work if you’re eating unhealthy food. That’s where a nutrition coach like me comes in. I help my clients by:

1. Making meal plans – I suggest easy, healthy meals that match your lifestyle. We will start with a meal plan that’s halfway filled out, leaving you to fill in some of the blanks. This will help you learn about macros.
2. Teaching portion control – Overeating, even healthy food, can slow weight loss. So we talk about this consistently.
3. Helping with cravings – I give tips on reducing sugar cravings and emotional eating. I have a massive sweet tooth. But don’t worry, I will help you with tricks to get around it.
4. Finding the right balance –  You don’t need to eliminate all your favorite foods. I teach moderation.
5. Tracking progress – Small changes in diet can lead to significant results over time.

Why Combining Both is the Best Choice

You get double the benefits when you work with a personal trainer and nutrition coach like me.

• Faster results – Exercising while eating right helps you lose weight quicker.
• Better energy – Healthy eating gives your body the fuel it needs for workouts.
• Long-term success – You learn to make lasting changes instead of temporary diets.
• More motivation – Having a trainer and coach gives you extra support.
• Avoiding plateaus – A mix of workouts and proper diet stops weight loss from slowing down.

How Group Training Classes Help

If one-on-one training isn’t for you, my group training classes are a great option.  

Motivation from others	Working out with a group keeps you inspired, keeps you accountable, and keeps you having fun.
Fun and social	Meeting new people makes exercise more enjoyable. Many of my clients have been with me for 4+ years, and through training together, we have developed great, long-lasting relationships
Cost-effective	Group classes are often more affordable than personal training. The unique feature of Hive Fitness Journey is that our group training is focused on personal training experiences.
Great variety	Classes include different workouts like strength training, HIIT, functional fitness, stability challenges, and cardio.

At Hive Fitness Journey, we offer group training classes that help people of all fitness levels stay active and reach their weight loss goals.
