How Allison Lost 12 lbs, Rebuilt Confidence, and Felt Like an Athlete Again
These women weren’t starting from perfect conditions. They were busy, tired, unsure.
All looking for something that finally made sense for their life.
ALLISON, PEDIATRIC OT & MOM OF TWO, 36 YEARS OLD
THE CHALLENGE
After years of prioritizing career, graduate school, marriage, and raising two energetic boys, Allison felt disconnected from the athlete she once was. Despite past success with weight-loss programs, the cycle of losing weight and gaining it back left her frustrated, stuck, and lacking confidence — especially navigating perimenopause and imposter syndrome in the gym.
TRAINING WITH TONY
Tony met Allison exactly where she was — busy, exhausted, and juggling real life. Her program was structured, accessible, and challenging, with a strong focus on functional strength, resistance training, realistic nutrition, and weekly coaching calls for accountability. When life got chaotic — sick days, missed workouts, or early gym exits to pick up her kids — Tony adjusted her plan without guilt, reinforcing consistency over perfection.
THE OUTCOME
Allison lost 12 pounds and 3.5 inches off her waist, and this time the results stayed. More importantly, she rebuilt confidence, strength, and trust in herself. She reclaimed the athlete she thought she had lost and now trains with confidence, consistency, and pride — setting a powerful example for her two boys.
