GBI 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!

GBAmazing! Planos has been amazing and life changing for me. I’ve been working with Andres and he’s taught me to learn to love myself through every season of life. I’ve learned about how my body works, that there is no bad food, how to create meal plans and how to listen to my body.

GBSo 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.

GBPlanos takes all aspects of your life… Planos takes all aspects of your life into account, not just nutrition. You get an education and hands on coaching plus materials I haven’t even touched yet! They have monthly challenges, group discussions, online trainings, and one on one coaching at a very reasonable investment. The apps they use are easy and helpful. For me personally, the results have been fantastic! I have always struggled with losing weight - but more importantly, keeping it off. For over 25 years, I have tried and failed to get below the weight I was 25 years ago. Andreas and Ceci changed the way I think about eating. I have not only lost weight and kept it off, I am also more energetic and focused. It has made me more confident in other areas of my life as well. I can’t say enough positives about the Planos process and would recommend them to anyone who is struggling to lose weight and keep it off - and are serious about making the changes they need in their lives. And I’m not talking about any FAD diet, Pills, Keto, Vegan, whatever - you can still eat what you like, Planos helps you change the way you think about food - and your overall well being!

GBWorth 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.
