Laura Petras

I am someone who’s been overweight or yo-yo dieting my entire life. I stumbled into CrossFit in 2021 - a few months before I met Caitlin. I had already lost a considerable amount of weight on my own but knew I needed help to push further. 

Following Caitlin’s programming and nutrition guidance, I have become someone I never dreamed I could be. I am in better physical condition at 33 than I ever was as a child or teenager. My goals are health and longevity driven - I want to live an active life with my husband and our kids. I always feel like my programming and nutrition are tailored to my specific lifestyle and fitness goals. 

Every email, in-person, text, call, or social media interaction with Caitlin has been pleasant and sincere. She’s fantastic to work with!

I will always be thankful to Caitlin for helping me change my life and giving me the tools to be a person who consistently eats well and moves frequently.

Working with Caitlin taught me that I have the capacity to be disciplined and achieve goals. For long term success, I plan to take my new skills (ie prioritizing sleep and protein, weighing portions, and tracking to name a few) and maintain forever. It’s a lifestyle change and takes time, but with Caitlin’s support I have the knowledge and desire to stay healthy as I get older. I would encourage anyone to work with Caitlin that is wanting clear direction towards a healthier life, ongoing support, and skill building around a wholistic approach to guide them forever!

I have been an athlete for the last 15 years. I have trained in bodybuilding, powerlifting, martial arts, and rugby. None of which had the glycolytic demand of CrossFit, which is what I am training to compete in now. After about a year of training 6 days a week and hitting plateaus, I reached out to Caitlin, who started me on a tailored nutrition program to help me meet my goals. She leaned me out and then built me back to make sure that my body was as efficient as possible. After being on the Lean Mean Green nutrition and Legacy Athletics training program for several months now, I have seen tremendous performance and strength gains. My physique has started returning and looks more full and pumped again. Caitlin’s weekly check-ins and accountability method have greatly increased my recovery, performance, and overall well-being. Caitlin is prompt in answering questions and making adjustments as needed, as nutrition is not a one size fits all program. Thanks, Caitlin! Team LMG for life!

Monica Ramey

I have maintained a fit and active lifestyle for the last 10 years. I trained for bodybuilding and powerlifting until I found CrossFit. I watched as my body quickly changed, but I wanted more. I knew if I changed my eating habits, I would see even better results - but I had no idea where to begin!  That’s when I reached out to Caitlin. She set me up that day with a nutrition plan tailored to me and my needs.

Just a few weeks into working with Caitlin, I started noticing my energy levels increased, my gut health improved, and the side effects from my anemia decreased. My performance during my workouts continues to improve. I look and feel better than I have in years!

Caitlin is prompt and thorough when I reach out with questions. Her friendly weekly check-ins help to hold me accountable to my goals, and remind me that she is always there when I need her. Thank you Caitlin for my new and improved quality of life!

"I looked into nutrition coaching after a big endurance event called the Best Ranger Competition. After not performing to the level I knew I could, I realized that the physical aspect was only a part of being the best athlete I could be. I came across Lean Mean Green Health through Grey Matter Strength. I’ve been working with Caitlin since June and have had nothing but amazing interactions and results.

The team at Lean Mean Green Health welcomed me into the family right away and has been helping me achieve the goals I’ve set along the way. When I suffered a shoulder injury and had to refocus my programming, Caitlin was right there to keep me focused and adjust the plan to what I needed to maximize what I was doing. From 12 Hour Mountain Bike Races to Ultra Marathons, I’ve performed at peak performance in large part to the right nutrition from Lean Mean Green Health."

“I sustained a hip flexor injury and while I was healing I was not able to do my usual CrossFit workouts. Because of this, I gained around 15lbs and really was not feeling like myself. I reached out to Caitlin in order to help me get back on track once my hip was healed.

In the first 4 months, I had lost 15lbs and 4” off of my waist! Since losing this weight, we have worked on muscle building and my muscle tone has increased significantly!

Caitlin is so knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition. She knew exactly how to evaluate what was going on in my body and responded with appropriate nutrition in order to get me to my goals in a healthy way. She was also so responsive and attentive. Whenever I had a question or was feeling a certain symptom she always got back to me in a timely manner and made me feel like I was her priority!

I’m so grateful for her partnership in helping me succeed in achieving my goals and giving me the tools to fuel my body appropriately.

I highly recommend partnering with her in order to achieve your health and fitness goals!”

“What I like about working with Caitlin is she starts and ends with YOU. She doesn’t dump a bunch of tired health & wellness dogma. Instead, she was able to quickly identify my core health motivators and reverse engineer them that into where I wanted to be in short order. 

I’d recommend LMGF to anyone who is fed up with going after their fitness goals alone and are ready to see real results with a trusted guide.”

Caitlin has worked with me for the past seven months and I have seen major changes.  Currently I am down 60 pounds and still working towards my goal and have dropped 4+ dress sizes.  The difference in what she can accomplish verses other trainers or weight loss programs is that it is truly customized to you and your needs and sustainable.  I travel extensively for work and she has worked with me to make sure that I can maintain my healthy eating while traveling and still enjoying a glass of wine or two.  She has also been able to work in one of my must haves, which was to be able to participate in family pizza night.  

 

One of my favorite things Caitlin does is when there is a week without a loss of either inches or weight, we chat and see if something was off or what could have caused it.  Your are not alone to have to try and figure it out!  There is a constant support system and that has made all the difference.  She also only gives you changes you can handle and I am always excited to see what new adjustment we are making each month.  Caitlin has certainly made my life better as I can enjoy activities with my kids, energy levels that allow me to be as active as I want, and just more confidence as a whole.  Thank you Caitlin!

I started Crossfit as a way to get back in shape and quickly found a sport that I loved and an activity that allowed me to basically eat whatever I wanted without repercussions. After a couple of years, things started to plateau and I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted in the gym. While I wasn’t “fat” I was a bit fluffy.

I began to work with Caitlin and learned that food is fuel and if we put bad in fuel in, you get bad results. She helped me better understand how food works and I quickly saw myself morph into an actual fit athlete.

We continue to work together on tweaking my nutrition based on my goals and she holds me accountable, every time.

It all started on spring break vacation. I swear the only thing I heard was “mommy your legs are so big”, “mom your but jiggles”, “babe your legs are big”. Yes even coming from the hubby. I will not lie my feelings were hurt. I mean who’s wouldn't be? So I took that and ran with it.

I contacted Caitlin to set up a meeting to get help with this. My thought was I will show them. I started working with Caitlin in April 2016. My first weigh in was 142.9lbs. Now I am 5’3”. This being the heaviest I’ve been. Besides being pregnant. By the end of the first month I was down 6.3lbs. This was amazing. I felt good about myself. So we continued to work together. And I’ve not only lost pounds, but inches in areas I didn’t think it was possible.

It has been almost a year working together. I am currently down 15.4lbs. WOW! I have more definition to my body. I can see a big change. A change that I LOVE! Caitlin is very passionate about what she does. One thing you need to know is you also have to want and fight to make a better you. She WILL make a difference in you. 

I can’t thank her enough for my transformation in progress! My family has noticed the difference and they have nothing but nice things to say.
