Danielle didn’t know what to do when it came to lifting weights. She didn’t even think that she could lose the weight. That’s why she came to me to teach her proper form and gain confidence in the gym. And let me tell you change DID happen.

What were your reservations before you started?

Hesitant to start the journey. I honestly didn’t think for 1.) I was able to lose the weight, & 2) it was the fear of the unknown. Like can I really do this. Can she help me achieve what it is I want.

Where were you before you coached with me? What were your struggles? Paint the picture for us. *

Oh mannn! It’s hard to remember my struggles & where I was prior to your coaching because I feel like I’ve grown so much from that time. But, if I had to say; it was not having confidence in myself, not having the right mindset. I struggled internally to be kind & love myself for who I was in that moment. I hated looking in the mirror because I felt as though it was a constant reminder of me “letting myself go” (mentally & physically) I honestly avoided going out with friends, taking pictures, & even looking in the mirror. I became isolated & just wanted to stay home so I wasn’t seen in public cause I wasn’t comfortable with myself what so ever. What was the breakthrough you had during our coaching? *Geez I had so many, it’s crazy to stop & think about, but, one of my breakthrough I had during our coaching was the fact that no matter what don’t give up! It’s the hardest, most rawest moments that will make you into the person you want to be. Another breakthrough was the mindset homeworks, man!, those peel away the layers, but trust me in the end you feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders cause now it’s out & honestly feels so good! It’s scary but so worth it. Another one was actually knowing what to do & how the proper way of training should feel. There were times were I found myself adjusting myself & was like “oh damn!, I’m doing it!” & that in itself is a great feeling! None of this would have been possible WITHOUT you, honestly!

What were the actual specific results that you got?

Started with just knowing how to use the cardio machines to now confidently using the squat rack and barbells.
Danielle started with seeing me 3 times a week for 12 weeks and then graduated to once a week with online programming.

Physically; Before I was unhappy with my body & now I can embrace it & feel good. Before I couldn’t see my potential. Now I know my potential, it doesn’t stop here though. Mentally; before I was oblivious. I thought I was fine & “didn’t need” to work on my mental health, but I shortly realized that I was a negative person. Now I can actually see the good in mental health & how much it plays a factor in this process. I feel myself speaking more positively & look for the good instead of the bad. Emotionally; before I was down. Now I can see that I’m strong, confident & can conquer what comes my way & that feels good!

Who would you recommend this for? 

Anyone who wants to feel empowered. Anyone who wants to make the actual commitment to see the change (physically, mentally & emotionally) Anyone who feels like they’re stuck in a rut, anyone who doesn’t know a single thing about weights, portion sizes, what to eat, etc.

General Review 

Man oh man, I seriously can’t thank Jaclyn enough. I’m so blessed she took me in as a client and proud of myself for walking into self made for my consultation. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her, honestly! And the journey hasn’t ended for me yet. I’m still going and I’m so excited to see what the future has in store for me with her as my coach. She’s down to earth, takes your concerns/questions & acknowledges and talks about them. I’ve never left feeling “confused” plus she’s always there to help and she’ll remind you of that. She’s a great support system. She’ll encourage and push you at the same time. The fact that she trains and is working on herself just like you, is amazing! She’s an inspiration and a GREAT coach! So, if your thinking about signing up let me tell you, DO IT! You won’t regret it, trust me & all the other trainees that work with her. We love her and are so happy to be apart of the Sparkle Squad ✨
