Get Fit With Mer Program’s testimonials

Before starting GFWM I was struggling as a mom of 2 toddlers who was unfamiliar with her body. I was no longer comfortable or confident in my body and knew something big had to change. I’d tried working out in group classes for a while and that fell off. I was desperate and began searching socials for help. I came across GFWM and immediately felt connected to her online presence. She seemed genuine, ambitious, but not too serious (which I love). I immediately reached out to schedule a consult and here I am 5 months into my journey. I am someone who loves direction and encouragement which I think has helped me tremendously staying on track and adapting to this new routine. Having workouts and meals tailored to me and a plan to follow daily changed the game. I woke up every morning EXCITED to work out? And I can confidently say that excitement has not gone away. Encouragement from the coaches and seeing the difference it has made in me is inexplicable. I started GFWM wanting to change myself but mostly just wanting to “lose weight”. Now, it’s not even about that. Of course it’s nice to see your body change but I am feeling stronger, more confident, and more informed about things that I didn’t think mattered before. Tracking meals is a labor of love but boy is it something that was so necessary for me. I believe GFWM works because it’s everything it claims to be. Tailored to you, a dedicated coach, having Mer’s bubbly self check in on you? It all works together to make you want to keep going and growing. This has been one of the best investments I’ve made as an adult and will continue to shape my lifestyle for time to come.

My experience with this program has been nothing shy of excellent!! Coach Mer and her fellow coaches have built such a wonderful platform/community of people that make you feel welcome, comfortable, and most importantly, you feel SEEN. you’re not alone, you’re not the only one with the struggles. this has been a platform of sheer positivity, helping hands, patience, and kindness. i would recommend this to anyone looking for an out of the ordinary program to help not only shed the weight, but build those positive habits, have that encouragement in your corner, and all the positivity through the low times this journey can have!! 10/10 experience, i am so glad i started!

I can’t say enough good things about this program! Before joining, I struggled with staying consistent, my nutrition was all over the place, and I never knew what workouts to do. From day one, I felt supported. The program doesn’t just throw meal plans and exercises at you—it actually teaches you how to build better habits and stay accountable. The nutrition guidance is realistic and flexible (no starving yourself!), and the workouts are challenging yet doable, even with a busy schedule. Coach Mer’s program is flexible with at home gym or membership gym. What really stood out to me was the encouragement from my coach, Coach Darcy, and the other coaches that fill in. On days when I felt like giving up, the support I received made all the difference. Coach Darcy has helped overall, with fitness nutrition and building confidence on my hardest days. If you’re looking for a program and don’t know where to start this has it all! Each day, I feel stronger, more confident, and finally in control of my health. If you’re looking for a program that focuses on real progress, not perfection, I highly recommend this one!

I’ve struggled with my weight for quite some time & have tried different diets to try & get slim. None of them helped me change my habits, lose weight, or improve my knowledge of eating healthy - it was either too simplistic (eat less, move more) but eat what?? or too complicated for me to comprehend. Get Fit With Mer has helped me understand eating healthy (macros), getting toned, & building a long lasting healthy relationship with food. I am 2 months in, not only am I seeing changes in the weight but I’m feeling better, my clothes are getting looser, but I’ve also come to understand what healthy food options actually look like. GFWM has meal plans, work outs, community, & support all built into 1 program. The program is so easy & streamlined to follow, I know exactly what I should be eating & what I should be working out, I can’t mess it up!

This program goes deeper than giving you a calorie goal to stick to and a weekly exercise goal that you need to try to achieve. GFWM actually creates an individualized meal and exercise plan for just you and understands that it’s not a one-size fits all! Receiving a plan based on my own weight, height, habits, etc, was the key to my successful weight loss journey. Prior to starting I had no idea how to track macros like protein, carbs, fats. Instead I was just trying to stick to a 1500 calorie diet and miserably failing because I was starving and would then crash. Thankfully the meal plans/suggestions that GFWM sets you up with actually leave you fulfilled and they will also help you alter your plan if needed if you are really craving a sweet treat that’s within your macro goals! The best part about the meal plan was that if I wasn’t feeling a certain meal or realized I was more picky than I thought, my assistant coach Alyssa always came through with edits to help me stay successful! In addition, your coach will also support you if you have a vacation or holiday coming up where it’s a little trickier to stick to your meal plan, and they teach you ways to alter your meals during that time to still stay on track! On top of a great meal plan were exercise plans that also fit my lifestyle and equipment that I already had. I wasn’t required to go to the gym every day and get on the dreaded treadmill. I’m so glad I found this program and can take away everything that I’ve learned to continue to be successful. The last three months I was able to lose just about 30 lbs from sticking to it and I cannot thank my assistant coach Alyssa enough as she held me accountable and was a huge reason I stayed successful.

This program and having Coach Darcy along the way has been everything I've been looking for!!!! From Day 1 up until present (6 months later) I've learned so much about nutrition, moving my body and living life!!!! Coach Darcy has been an incredible person to have me by my side and cheering me on!!!! This is a new lifestyle I'm excited to implement moving forward and having the nutrition and recipes accessible (which has always been my struggle) has been 100% worth the investment, this has something I've always longed for and finally received with Coach Mers program! Thank you Darcy for always being my BIGGEST cheerleader even when I wasn't always positive. You're a ray of sunshine and would recommend you and this program to anyone!!

My one year here is up but I wanted to make sure and express what this year has meant to me. The opportunity to be on the GFWM plan came to me as a blessing a year ago. I was new to my health and fitness journey and was trying to come out of a very low time in my life. I was unhealthy, had bad habits, low energy, experienced body pains and aches, and was not being the best version of myself. I was also diagnosed with pre-diabetes and was stressed! Before joining, I had lost about 30lbs on my own but didn’t know how to maintain that or hit my new goal of 50lbs down. This program taught me so much. I have had the amazing support of Coach Darcy and Mer, the meals are yummy and realistic, the workouts are amazing , and the community is a blessing. I not only lost another 20lbs while on the program, hitting my 50lb total goal, but I got leaner and stronger. I also am no longer pre-diabetic!! I cried when I heard that from my doctor. I have learned how to carry this lifestyle with me. It wasn’t just a plan and it wasn’t a diet. It has become a lifestyle. I’ve gained so much confidence and knowledge that I feel confident going off on my own now. I still have goals to meet and I know that what I’m taking with me from GFWM will help me reach those. Thank you so much to Mer and Darcy for this opportunity and for the impact you’ve made on my life. 💜

I’m so thankful I started this fitness journey with Coach Mer and her assistant coach Alyssa. I’ve been following Coach Mer on instagram for a couple of years now, and I kept wanting to try this program out, but wasn’t sure if I could do it. The thing is, they both really set you up to succeed. You obviously have to put in the work, but they customize your meal plans and workout plans so you don’t even have to think about it. They check in with you however often you need it and are a huge source of motivation and encouragement. They’ve both been such a blessing, and I’m so thankful I decided to do it. It has changed my life for the better mentally and physically. If you’re on the fence, just do it! I promise it’s worth it.

Iv tried lots of meal plans and I could never find the ingredients or they were super time consuming. These meals are delicious and practical, my family will even eat them. This program was the missing piece to my training and takes all the guesswork out of the macros. Truly, it has made my life easier. I love my coach she is always checking in and keeping me accountable and motivated. I have lost weight consistently since starting this program 4 months ago. Highly recommend.

Where do I even begin? I signed up for GFWM in mid-August and really committed in September. I’ve primarily focused on the nutrition side, but both the meal plans and workout plans have been excellent every month. The meals are filling, delicious, and offer a wide variety to choose from. The workouts are challenging but completely doable, and I always feel accomplished afterward. As someone who is almost 38 and has struggled with my weight my entire life, I’ve tried countless quick-fix solutions that never led to lasting results. I always believed I could do this on my own — but learning to accept that I need help has been a game changer. Within my first two months, I lost 20 pounds, even without giving 100% effort. I barely touched the workouts and fell into past poor eating habits here and there, but I still saw progress. While my weight loss has slowed recently (entirely due to my own choices), I’m continuing to lose weight every week. Before finding Mer’s program, I explored a few other coaching options. One program never reached out during our scheduled anppointment, and the coach from another felt disconnected and uninvolved, which were clear signs not to move forward. I had pretty much given up on the idea of working with someone found on social media. But Mer’s page kept popping up in my feed, and her content felt so relatable — even though I was still hesitant to reach out. I’m so glad I took the leap. From the beginning, her team was incredibly responsive and supportive. I was paired with Coach Darcy, who turned out to be the perfect match. Not only do I feel like I relate to her some personal levels, but she’s been instrumental in helping me get out of my own head and embrace that progress is about building a lifestyle — not about being perfect. While your assistant coach is your main point of contact, Coach Mer is always available when you need her and stays actively involved in your journey. Both Coach Mer and Coach Darcy are responsive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your success. They’re your biggest cheerleaders every step of the way. Beyond that, the community of fellow participants is an incredible bonus. It’s a safe, supportive space where you can connect, be vulnerable, and celebrate wins together. The real transformation goes beyond the physical. I’ve struggled with mental health and reached a point where I was in the worst shape of my life — mentally and physically. This program has helped me heal in both areas. One of my biggest obstacles has always been an all-or-nothing mindset. In the past, if I veered off course even once, I would give up completely. Now, with Coach Darcy and Coach Mer’s guidance, I’ve learned that perfection isn’t the goal. There’s no such thing as “messing up” on this program. It’s about accepting what’s done and choosing to keep moving forward. That shift in mindset has been life-changing. I’ve also never been someone who feels comfortable opening up or being vulnerable. But having coaches who truly care about my progress has helped me embrace the importance of asking for support. That, in itself, has been a powerful breakthrough for my mental health. Before GFWM, I tried other programs — like Isagenix — that gave me quick results but no lasting change. The difference here is the unmatched level of support. You have two relatable, knowledgeable coaches who have been through their own journeys. They understand your struggles and provide encouragement, solutions, and accountability. The weekly check-ins with your coach are especially impactful for staying on track and keeping accountable. Add to that a welcoming, supportive community, and it’s a truly unique experience. This program has even been a smart financial investment. I spend significantly less on eating out, and my grocery trips are far more intentional with a plan in place. The structure has saved me both money and mental energy. If you’re searching for a program that goes beyond weight loss and helps you build a healthy, sustainable lifestyle, I can’t recommend GFWM enough. You’ll get out what you put in — but with two coaches and a whole community in your corner, you’ll never be alone on your journey.

I really enjoy this coaching program and highly recommend it. I've been following it for just over 2 months now and I'm very satisfied! My assistant coach and coach Mer have given me advice on how to progress on my fitness journey, the exercises at home and in the gym are easy to do thanks to the demonstrative videos, and the nutrition plan is amazing! I can follow my program knowing that there's someone to help me with anything. She takes into account my needs, my preferences, my difficulties, it's really complete! I can already see the results in my mirror and that gives me even more courage to continue. It's difficult to embark on this kind of journey alone, so signing up for this program was one of the best decisions of my life.

This program has been such a God-send! I’ve been able to finally get the support, encouragement, and practical advice I really needed on my fitness and health journey. Both Coach Mer and my coach were on top of every request I had, answered my questions, and listened to me every time I shared a challenge I was facing. I’m still at the beginning of my journey, but I now have the confidence and tools and support I need, and I have deep hope that I will reach my goals!!

Coach Mer and Alyssa have been life-changing for my health and fitness journey. When I fell off track due to personal reasons, they were right there to support me when I was ready to come back. Their flexibility is unmatched—they offer various plans tailored to your needs, whether it’s workouts at home with little to no equipment or full gym routines. The meal plans are fully customized to your dietary needs, making it so easy to stay on track without feeling restricted. The best part? This level of support costs about the price of a cup of coffee each day, which made it easy to fit into my budget. They’ve completely changed my mindset toward health and fitness, showing me that it’s possible to make progress no matter where you start. The fun challenges and access to an amazing community for support and encouragement are extra bonuses that keep you motivated and excited. If you’re on the fence about starting, this is your sign—you can absolutely do it with their guidance!

I’ve learned so much from this amazing program. Originally I started it because I couldn’t fit into my wedding dress. It was the biggest eye opener for me that I needed to make a major lifestyle change. I have already had numerous health issues, and I was not to let myself down health wise again. The biggest lesson I’ve had so far in the 6 months I’ve been in the program is that emotionally eating & not taking accountability for my actions on my health does not serve me. As someone who comes from a family of emotional eaters & was diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder, I would eat anything in site and waste so much money on fast food when anything big or small would happen to me. I used it as a coping mechanism for anything negative in life. I lost control of myself in these moments and would put myself down after a binge episode. The GFWM program has helped me gain back my control and my confidence in my own capabilities towards positive change. Coach Mer and Coach Alyssa have provided such a safe space for me to build a better relationship with fitness and nutrition. They push you towards goals you never would imagine are possible, but you eventually achieve these major milestones with flying colors! My journey has been so much more focused on overcoming the mental and emotional hurdles that come with a poor relationship with nutrition. I won’t sugarcoat it, this program is tough, but you can and you will succeed with the guidance of these amazing coaches and you have the support of this fantastic community. The program will open your eyes to how much putting yourself first will change your life.

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for GFWM and my coach. The program itself is realistic, easy to follow, yet challenging enough. I’ve learned so much! I’ve lost about 25lbs while on the program getting me so much closer to my overall weight goal. I’ve gained knowledge on how to properly fuel my body and how to safely and effectively push myself during workouts. I received endless support from my coach, Darcy, and from the community. Meals are delicious and personalized just for you. I’ve tried other programs before and the meals were the hardest for me to stick to. No boring foods here. With this plan, I eat, I’m satisfied, and I even feed my family from the meal plan all while losing the weight I needed to lose. I highly recommend this program and have to my family and friends. So grateful for the confidence I’ve gained on my health and fitness journey.

I could not recommend Mer's program enough! As a woman in my 30s, I have been on just about every kind of crash diet there is; all of which were successful...until they *weren't.* Growing up with impossible standards, I've always had societal and familial pressure to look a certain way which led to inherent shame when it came to eating, which led to a binge eating disorder. Crash diets were not successful for me because I never addressed the root problem and healed my relationship with food. I've always wanted a personal trainer, but I never felt comfortable or financially capable of having one. The truth was, I wasn't willing to invest in myself. And after years of the same struggle, I went for it and joined Mer's program. Best decision I've ever made. Literally. Having personalized workouts and meals has been SUCH a game changer. Not to mention the constant support of Coach Mer and Coach Olivia. I've been on the program for almost a year now and I've lost almost 30 pounds, gained so much muscle and confidence, and have what feels like endless energy! Normally, old crash diet me would scoff at 30 pounds in 10 months, but the changes to my body and mindset are beyond anything I've experienced on previous weight loss endeavors. My mindset has changed. My habits have changed. I'm looking at food differently now (my goodness the meals are delicious, and I'm not afraid of carbs anymore!!!), understanding what my body needs to reach my goals, and I am stronger than I have EVER been. And something I never thought would happen did: I have a booty!!! Not to mention, my husband has been going to the gym with me and is now JACKED. I just keep reading all the rewards of this program! God bless. What a difference a year can make. From depressed and gaining weight from a stressful job, to changing jobs and joining a program that has absolutely brought me back to life. I obviously recognize all the work I've put into this program (you get out what you put in!), but I only had the opportunity to make these lasting changes because of this wonderful and fully customizable and sustainable program. I honestly get choked up writing this because it's all so true. I'm fully living my life again. I've put myself and my health first, and I'm seeing and feeling the benefits and payoff. I'm healing a lifelong feeling of disgust in myself and turned it into truly appreciating all my body can do and will continue to do for me as I continue on this program. 2025 will be the year I reach the goal I've been working towards my entire adult life: a sustainable lifestyle where anything feels possible because I FEEL healthy and free in a body I'm proud of. Like...I'm *really* strong. ;-) 2025 ain't ready for me.

Mer is the best coach I’ve ever had, and I’ve been an athlete almost my entire life! If you’re looking for accountability, encouragement, perfectly tailored workouts and a surprisingly tasty meal plan that fits your macros (even if you don’t know about macros yet! Mer will teach you!) this is the program for you. I have smashed every goal I set for myself and I just keep setting the bar higher. The community is so welcoming and supportive too! I’ve been here for more than a year and a half and I’m not planning on leaving any time soon! Come join me!

I joined this program because I was ready for a change but had no idea where or how to start. Coach Mer and Coach Alyssa guided me step by step, providing tailored workouts and nutrition plans based on my goals. Anytime I had questions or concerns, they responded quickly with clear answers and helpful education, which gave me the confidence to move forward. GFWM has completely transformed my life by equipping me with the knowledge and tools I needed to succeed. When I first started, I was committed but often let life’s obstacles throw me off track. After six months, Coach Mer and Coach Alyssa encouraged me to dig deep and reflect on why this kept happening. That process helped me identify and address the root causes, like allowing social situations to influence my food choices. Now, I’m seeing real progress because I’ve learned how to confidently stick to my goals, whether it’s staying consistent with meals or making mindful choices while eating out. While I haven’t worked with other personal trainers, what sets this program apart is how responsive and supportive Coach Alyssa and Coach Mer are. As someone who works a 12 hour shift schedule, I recently had to switch between days/nights in the same week, due to meetings. When I shared my concerns about how this would impact my workouts and eating habits, Coach Alyssa gave me thoughtful, practical advice and even checked in a few days later to see how I was doing. That level of personalized care makes all the difference. Even though it’s an online program, it feels incredibly personal, and I truly feel connected and supported.

Where do I even begin? The Get Fit With Mer program has completely transformed my life in the best possible way. I'm having a hard time articulating just how much this program means to me. I joined this program during a really hard season of my life and honestly it's what kept me going during that time. My gym workouts became my safe space, the meal planning and meal prepping became my therapy, the routines I've built, the mindsets I've shifted, the friendships I've developed, the CONFIDENCE I've grown, the SELF-BELIEF I now have for the first time in my life - my mental health has never been better. I still have my ups and downs but now I have the TOOLS and self-discipline I didn't have before. I remember before I joined this program I kept thinking "if someone would just show me HOW, I would do it. Just show me what to do at the gym, how to calculate macros, what and how much to eat, I'll do it, I just need guidance!" That's exactly what this program has done for me in the simplest possible way. I work a very time demanding job and GFWM has broke it all down for me and has made it so easy to implement. The workout splits each month are challenging yet easy to understand, the app itself is very user-friendly, the easiest recipes that are omg delicious, educational content and challenges to keep you motivated and accountable, and an assistant coach leading you along the way. The mental side and who you become far outweighs the physical side but I'm down 33lbs and counting. I finally like what I see in the mirror every day. My energy has drastically increased. I've become a morning person! (I used to stay up all night and sleep all day.) Now mornings are my favorite time of the day. My habits have changed and I actually crave healthier food options and movement and taking care of myself. This hasn't been an overnight transformation by any means but I've had a lot of healing I've had to do on my relationship with food and my mindsets/habits. This program has helped me get rid of the "all or nothing" mindset and shift to a healthy mindset of balance. I've been able to make progress while still living my life and enjoying memories with those I love. I've felt so welcomed into the amazing community of other woman who have joined and I finally feel like I belong somewhere. I've made actual friends from this program and it's been so fun connecting with all of the awesome people in the group. The Get Fit with Mer program has honestly been the absolute best investment I've ever made for my health. I could not have done any of this without Coach Mer, her whole program, and my incredible Assistant Coach. Their guidance and support has changed my life and I'm forever grateful for them.

Honestly, I've never felt more powerful! Not only does the GFWM team give you the workouts to make you strong and the coaching to help you mentally focus of the how and why of the food plans, but the best thing is that the minute you join you just FEEL the passion and dedication the Coaching Team all have for YOU!! It's not a gimmick and it's not just a one time drive by check-in. It's real people who get to know you and are there to celebrate the wins with you just as much as they're there to help you get up after a loss. I've never felt so seen and heard and cheered on!! It makes me want to keep doing my best every day to make the whole gfwm family (Coaches and clients alike) proud!!
