This program is one of the best things of my 2022!! This is one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made!!! I had a very bad relationship with food, in the past I tried too many diets and I was all or nothing, in my first month in the program I lost 10 lbs, my mindset changed 100%, coaches are the best, they’re 24/7 for you and in this program we celebrate small victories which make us achieve our goal faster!! 10/10 this program and all the coaches 💖

Incredible journey and it's just the beginning! What an incredible start to my renewed way of life! Working with the team at Planos, specifically Coach Dana, has been transformative in more ways than one. I was hesitant to sign on at first because I didn’t want my life to drastically change. Not to mention, as a stay-at-home dad with two young girls, my needs rarely come first. Yet after buying my first XXL shirt and with the full support of my wife, we made the decision to invest in our health and general wellbeing. At the beginning of the 6-month program I was weighing in at 236 pounds, was not comfortable taking my shirt off, and all around unhappy with where I was in life. What I quickly found was that this program was not a quick fix, or a diet, or something that I could commit only 5 minutes a day to. Now weighing in at 204 pounds, fully confident in my body, and with a rejuvenated outlook on the future I can reflect on this journey of 32 pound weight loss. Planos revitalized my day-to-day thinking as well as how I approach nutrition for myself and my family. They did this by getting me into the right mindset, educating me with nutritional information, and making sure I continued my “marathon” no matter the pace. I fully committed to finding a better way to live, a healthier way, focusing on being 1% better every day and as I reach the end of the program it feels more like a new beginning. Absolutely zero regrets deciding to join the Planos family, and I am so grateful for the education, support, and encouragement they provided throughout. I continue to work toward building healthy habits including intentional movement each day and enjoying alcohol in moderation. If you are reading this because you are on the fence about joining, then I hope to convey that the value I received has far outweighed the monetary cost of the program. No matter what your current situation is I implore you to prioritize your health, because without that you can’t accomplish much of anything else.

Worth it! This was so worth the investment! I have struggled with a certain mindset around food for years (decades...) and Coach Dana was SO helpful in helping me break through. She is extremely kind, gentle, and understanding. I used to get so upset at myself and was in this endless cycle of trying something extreme for 3 days, and giving up for 3 weeks. Andres has also gone above and beyond for me. They are extremely dedicated to providing a high-quality experience.

I have been with Andres and his team… I have been with Andres and his team for over 5 years when I decided it was time for me to "graduate" from the program. I met Andres back in 2018 and he completely changed my life. A year up until I met Andres I got serious about working out and had different people recommend certain ways of eating that was very restrictive and set on eating chicken, rice , vegetables, no fruits etc. I didn't feel this was healthy for me but I knew very little about nutrition like most of us and was afraid to eat outside of those parameters and ruin my fitness goals/progress. When I was searching for a coach to work with it was important to find someone with credentials and for someone that had clients similar to me who have an active fitness lifestyle and weightlifting. That's when I found Andres and he went beyond expectations. Not only was he coaching me but he was teaching me to the point where I learned how to adjust my macros based on my training style for that season myself. I honestly didn't think I was going to need a coach for more than a year but Andres always found a way to come up with new things and teach me new things month after month. It was definitely worth the time and investment and I highly recommend Andres and the Planos team! Thank you once again Andres!

So Appreciative of all of the assistance I am a Wife of 23 years, a mother of two adult children, 37 and 32 and Grandmother to 5, ages 5-8 and, I am a Director of Programs (Non-Residential) for the Arc of Davidson County, Inc, a company that advocates and cares for individuals with developmental disabilities. I have largely dedicated my adult life to caring for others, my husband, my children, my job, anything but myself. As a woman, we fall into that trap. Historically, self-care has been seen as selfish and caring for others has been seen as selfless. Selflessness being the preferred option. I looked at myself January 2, 2023, I weighed 303 lbs., my highest weight yet. I lived my life sitting in my recliner. I typically got up, worked the day cooked supper, and landed in the recliner until bedtime and got up to do it again. The trip to the grocery store was exhausting. I am 5’8” but that is still very heavy. I have 5 grandchildren. I would watch them out the window when they came to visit, I couldn’t go outside to play with them. I just didn’t have the energy. I had the desire. I lived what I thought to be a very sad life. I was depressed. Who wouldn’t be? I made the decision to do something! I started counting my calories. It was hard but I had lost about 10 lbs. in a month. I connected with Andres Ayesta on Instagram and he and I began talking in the chat. He began telling me about the Planos program and asking me about my life. What he was telling me made sense. I signed on the end of February and connected with my coach shortly after. She has been nothing short of a Godsend. I cannot say enough good things about Ceci. Part friend, part mentor, part coach and I am sure she could kick my butt if I needed it. I want this so badly that I don’t believe she will ever need to do it. I have lost nearly 50 lbs. I feel better. I am more active than I have been in decades. I have signed up for and completed a 5k (now I walk 3 miles almost daily uphill on my treadmill). I have been attending t-ball games for my grandchildren and getting ready to go to a dance recital for a granddaughter and these events do not do me in for the day. I still have energy to do my regular everyday activities. I am somewhere between 1/3 and ½ way to goal. The goal is fluid as I don’t know where my body will land. I am leaving that to my body. I will find a comfortable healthy weight. If I hadn’t acted, I would either still be in that awful depressing chair right now or worse. Love yourself enough to take care of yourself. Allow yourself the help to get to your goals. Planos, and especially Ceci, have been invaluable in this health journey. It’s not just weight loss. It is the whole person. I have learned boundaries; self-care is not selfish among many other valuable things. Planos takes a holistic approach to health.
