Krista Salari, Lifestyle Client of Dylan Bair
Where do I even start about my fitness journey? Wow.. the road has been over 4 years long, with three different personal trainers, and four different nutritionists, all with 0 knowledge to help me reach my full potential. But when you are new to dieting and training, you hope that the individuals you hire claiming to be experts fully know what they are doing.. boy was I WRONG.
After many years with the wrong coaches starving me, trying to shrink me into something I wasn't, over 45 minutes of daily cardio, feeling exhausted daily and still the daily urge to binge eat, I was in this constant fluctuation of losing weight, and gaining twice as much back, which I am sure we all know is physically and emotionally exhausting.
After years of this yo-yo and so desperate to try just one more coach, I sought out to find the BEST, most knowledgeable, most sustainable/lifestyle coach, in the hopes of never having to struggle with my weight and "diet" again.. that's when I found Dylan.
Funny enough, I found Dylan at one of the most difficult points in my life. But I always say, if you can get in shape during the most chaotic times in your life, you can stay in shape during the best moments, too! After researching over a dozen coaches, I applied to work with Bair Aesthetics, where Dylan within 24 hours already had reached out to schedule a consultation. Literally within 60 seconds on the phone, I was sold.. I knew Dylan was going to be the coach to get me to the next level and Bair Aesthetics was going to be my new home for quite some time!
It wasn't just his expertise and very high level knowledge on the human body, especially when involving female hormones, but for the first time in a long time, I connected with a coach who almost exceeded my energy and my passion for my own fitness goals. And let me just tell you this.. his energy for my fitness journey has not changed one bit over the past 4 months of working with him. Every week when I check in with coach and he sends my protocol tweaks, the energy is SO high.. it radiates, truly rejuvenating me for the upcoming week and making me feel like I have got a ton more weeks left in me! Even though I know Dylan takes on a ton of clients, when check-ins come around, he makes me feel like my progress really matters and I am more than just a number.
When I initially signed up Dylan, I honestly wasn't sure how to "get back on track" as it had been extreme disappointment with my plan for years, but I knew I had to commit to a new plan, and to myself.. so I intentionally signed a 6 month contract to hold myself accountable for the long term. Honestly, it was quite intimidating. I had not been able to follow a plan consistently in years, as a few days I would diet hard, and the remainder of the week I would binge. But I told myself, just one day at a time.. and almost 4 months, 20 pounds down, and 16 PERFECT weeks on plan later.. I have not missed a macro, a step, or a cardio session! Dylan's coaching style has changed my life. It wasn't that I had to be perfect on plan or that I wasn't encouraged to listen to my body, because I constantly am.. but it was the fact that FINALLY, I had a plan in front of me that fueled me, that was so do-able, a coach I had 110% confidence in, and a protocol that I was fully able to trust.
I can write a 10 page essay about my experience with coach and how much he's changed my life, but I will try to wrap it up.. lol. If your coach gives you a basic chicken and rice meal plan or is constantly cutting your calories and increasing your cardio to drive results, FIRE THEM! Only the best coaches in the world, like Dylan, can help you drop fat consistently every week while increasing your calories, incorporating multiple refeeds, and keeping cardio low intensity. The days of keeping your body in a constant state of stress and crash dieting is over. Thank you coach for changing my life.. mentally, physically, and emotionally. My gratitude for you goes way beyond words.. Now back to work, we have some large goals to accomplish <3
