Holistix Wellness — Local services in Newport Beach

It has been a good 10 years since I have even thought about working out. Finally at 61 years old, I decided that it was about time to be proactive with my health. I ran across the Holistix Fitness' "50+ 6 Week Challenge" Ad on Facebook and decided to go for it! Both my wife and I joined the challenge and we fell in love with Amber! She is so full of energy and encouragement. We found her to be very sensitive to our physical limitations and without hesitation she made adjustments to the exercises accordingly. As we progressed, so did her challenges as she didn't let us get comfortable with any workout routine. Every workout is a mystery and a lot of fun (shhh...don't tell her I said that!) As a result of my first 6 week challenge, I lost 18 pounds and 13% body fat! I have so much more energy throughout my day now and I'm actually getting more done! I'm eating the healthiest I ever have and it's nice to feel good in my clothes again! I have been so impressed with Amber's program that my wife and I signed up for another "50+ 6 Week Challenge"! If you are serious about changing your life and feeling better...and you want a fun and inspirational coach to keep you on course...Amber at Holistix Fitness...

I initially joined the 6 week challenge. I lost 11.5 lbs and gained muscle/stamina. Ended up joining this wonderful gym. I am 62 with two bad knees so there are exercises I can’t do. Amber modified the workouts (WOD) so that I can fully participate and not do my own thing in some lonely corner of the gym. Some mods are actually more difficult.... I would rather run than get on that Assault Bike. I’ve come to realize why it is called an Assault Bike. She is an excellent trainer in tune with her clients. An added plus are the other folks training are very positive and cheer each other on. No matter what the age gaps are. I’ve worked out with 20 year olds as well as a couple of folks older than me. No effin’ egos, no muscle heads. And that 5:30 crew kicks butt!! Highly recommend...

I got a lot of Amber's six-week challenge: great nutritional advice, meal planning, ongoing support and adaptation, and TONS of encouragement. I went for the nutritional support, but also thrived in the workout classes. Although I'm athletic, I had never systematically lifted weights before. I learned a lot and got demonstrably stronger. The challenge--and the whole Holistix experience--is great.

I signed up for the Challenge because the timing coincided with my schedule for radiation therapy to treat breast cancer. Amber was receptive to my needs to adapt both nutrition and exercise. I know the structure and Amber's program helped my body through a difficult period. I'm stronger and healthier now, despite the effects...
