“In early 2020, Perimenopause hit me like a mac truck. I honestly felt as though something had invaded my mind and body. I was angry, moody, unfocused and suddenly unable to sleep at night which created exhaustion thereby exasperating my other symptoms.
In the years that followed I noticed it was much easier to gain weight and so much harder to lose it. I felt like I had lost control over my own body.
I remember the day I reached out to Ben, I messaged him and I emailed him – I was desperate. Having worked with coach Ben in the past – knowing his knowledge of nutrition, physical fitness and especially his weekly supportive council – I knew he could help. And he did not disappoint!
As soon as I mentioned perimenopause he knew exactly what my body needed to get back to feeling like me again.
What sets his program apart is how it’s designed uniquely to you and your needs. Both the nutritional and exercise programs are what your body and mind need to achieve the results you want. Ben meets you where you are and he builds upon that so you don’t end up frustrated and quit. He checks in weekly to answer any questions and to make sure you’re creating the right habits to achieve your goals. I don’t know another program that offers that. And the proof is in the results I see, not just with myself but with all the clients I’ve recommended to him.
Lift to Rise has changed my life for the better!”
“Lift to Rise Fitness helped me a lot. By changing my eating pattern together with the physical workouts my results are great. I’m losing weight, feeling much better, and healthier.
Getting my power back! Mentally getting stronger also. Starting to love myself again and to take care of myself first.. Why Lift to Rise Fitness? Well first of all, I felt heard, taken seriously. It’s the “human “approach you get from Ben. It is online but it feels nearby (and I can say this because we’re 9 hours time difference away from each other). I really don’t feel a distance.”
“I’ve been struggling with weight and I think health information overload for many years…
In the past I have tried to ‘eat healthy’ and get more exercise. Before I got married we did an Atkins type low carb diet. And did lose weight, but it really wasn’t sustainable. And I certainly wasn’t getting healthy by doing that…
As my life got busier with family my weight kept creeping up. And I didn’t have the time or the know how to help myself in any meaningful or lasting way. I would always start some health kick and last maybe 2 weeks. Get discouraged and go back to old habits and eating the way my family was eating…
Since joining Lift to Rise, I have felt wholly supported and understood…I completed the first 12 weeks and knew that I definitely wanted to keep going. In the past 19 weeks I have lost 20 pounds on the scale, but also gained a lot of muscle throughout my entire body. I’m stronger and fitter than I’ve ever been. And nutritionally healthier than ever as well. And even more than that, I know how to do it now.
The workouts were just right for me from the beginning…I felt like Ben really met me where I was and the workouts he set up were just right to challenge me but not overwhelm me. They have progressed at a perfect pace…
The nutrition plan has been delicious and easy to follow, I get to eat a little of everything, and I can always ask for guidance and get answers right away. The support system in this program has been really incredible. I felt at ease from the beginning…
I have a flexible (this is key) working routine now… and I’ve gained the skills to allow me to make simple adjustments and stay on track… The routine has also helped create some healthy habits within my family, and one of the most rewarding things is seeing my kids excited for me. It has given them some drive in themselves as well…
I cannot say enough good things about this experience so far. I love the online training experience. I love that I can do all of this from my own home on my own schedule. I could use a gym if I wanted to, but time wise being able to do it from home without any special equipment made it much more accessible and less intimidating for me.
With the regular contact with Coach Ben and the other online supports it has never felt impersonal…
Add to that the kindness, the openness, the knowledge… I’m seriously constantly amazed by Coach Ben’s ability to flip to different topics. From health, fitness, technical demonstrations, emotional support, resource recommendations, scientific explanations about how the body works in relation to nutritional needs and digestion and recipes, and sharing his own life experiences.
I just don’t know where you would find anything else like this. A red seal chef, a personal trainer, a trained counsellor, and then all the heart behind it all… I’m eternally grateful.”
“The results over the last 6 months have been incredible. With the help of this program l feel better than ever physically and mentally. I have lost a total of 30 pounds over 6 months.
Lift to Rise Fitness has also helped me to be cigarette free.
Things that set this program apart from the rest are that you have in app support that allows you to be real about your situation and ask questions anytime or just say how you are doing with things.
The program is tailored to you and not the general population as a whole. This personalized plan and support has helped me become a person l thought I could never become.
Lift to Rise Fitness was there for me when I needed and helped me to work through the struggles. It has made me more focused than ever and now with the knowledge the program gave me I can use the new habits I formed for a lifetime.”
“When I met Ben, I was not comfortable with how I looked, or how I felt. I was 30-40 lbs heavier then I wanted to be…
Thanks to Ben, and the 12 week Lift to Rise program, I have learned the proper nutrition and exercise for my body type. I have learned how certain foods affect my body, and this has made a huge, positive impact on me.
I am now down 30lbs and 8 inches off my waist. I have also lost several inches all around…
Ben Gustafson, and Lift to Rise Fitness, is very knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Before Lift To Rise fitness I tried many different programs and challenges…but I could never keep the weight off or make it work for lifestyle.
Since joining Lift To Rise Fitness I am sleeping better, happier on the inside and outside and can be more physically active with my 3 year old.
In 5 months, I have lost 45 pounds and the weight keeps coming down.
The difference between this program and the others I have tried is the 1-1 coaching. The coaching and support have taught me simplicity and that consistency is what matters most. I have learned to just get back on track if I miss a meal or have a treat rather than give up.
The program was personalized for me and my body and its very simple to follow. I never felt overwhelmed, and I was apart of a very supportive community, and I never felt alone. Anyone considering online coaching, give Lift To Rise Fitness a try, and you will be successful.”
“I’ve struggled with weight gain and loss over many years. Different plans would either not be sustainable, or I would plateau after a while.
I’ve tried low carb, Keto, calorie counting etc…
Since starting Lift to Rise I haven’t had the cravings that I always struggle with.
The program met me where I was…after only 3 months my strength and balance have done a complete turnaround.
What sets this program apart from others I’ve tried is the individual attention. Ben came up with a food and exercise program based on my specific needs, tailored to my goals.
My results speak for themselves…beyond having lost 21 lbs (and counting) I’m stronger, more energetic, and feel good knowing I have a plan that I can stick to long term. I love the flexibility that the online aspect of the program gives me.”
“This program works. I can now “feel” my strength and muscles from the inside both literally and figuratively.
I lost 20 pounds and now have muscle definition again in my arms, thighs, and torso. And most importantly, my blood work numbers came back better and are in the range where my doctor is not concerned anymore. Yay! Lastly, my ability to transform my physical body with the help of Lift to Rise Fitness gives me confidence that I can transform other areas of my life as well. And that’s the most important thing.
Thank you Ben, and Lift to Rise Fitness.”
“I’m celebrating a long term win this week. Tomorrow is my 18-month anniversary of working with Coach Ben.
I haven’t had to take blood pressure medication for the last 16 months. I’ve lost 69 lbs. 39 ¾ “, from size 20 to size 10 in pants, from XL to M in tops and dresses.
I’m continuously surprised by what my body can do at 65!
I’ve learned so many things that have made me a healthier and happier person. I’ve learned to eat healthy meals with whole unprocessed foods and I enjoy them. I feel good all the time because I’m eating according to my nutrition plan that was designed for me and my body type. I’ve learned how to workout effectively and efficiently.
I’ve learned how to overcome those times when I might not be as motivated to eat clean or workout.
Coach Ben and Sara have taught me the benefits of meditation, journaling and self-care. I have learned a lot about myself through reflecting on my emotions and my life experience.
I am so grateful that I found Lift To Rise Fitness, Coach Ben & Sara. Their program has changed my life, and I will keep working with them because I still have so much to learn.”
“I worked with Ben for 12 weeks in 2018. He was very involved the whole time with messaging, calls and Facebook encouragement. I lost weight, toned my muscles but most importantly I learned how to relate to food in a more healthy manner. I have been able to maintain the gains I made. I highly recommend Ben’s program & technique.”
“My struggles before Lift to Rise Fitness were, I was always sluggish, no energy. I ate whatever I wanted, when I wanted, and I was never happy with my flabby body. I have literally lost 21 pounds in 6 months…
I’ve tried Nutrisystem. I was even a workout instructor but never seemed to get rid of the fat and flab because I never ate right.
This program has helped me by providing me with a correct nutritional menu, has made me more attentive to the foods that are good for me and has made me feel more alive. It’s helped me start a routine of work outs I never thought I’d be able to perform. This program has also helped me to be smoke free as I was hooked on cigarettes for most of my life.
In the last 6 months my physical results are even shocking me, I don’t feel as anxious, and my mental status is so much clearer than before… I kicked very unhealthy habits in the butt and formed new healthy habits.
The things that set this program apart from others is having Ben as a Coach. He helps keep me accountable for my actions. I love having the support which is something I would never do for myself and third is being able to call, text or email him with any questions or problems I have. Having a specific plan to my body type with nutrition has helped me in creating a new life choice, helped me kick some very bad choices as far as food and health habits. Lift to Rise Fitness has turned me into a well-oiled machine.”
