Nutrition coaching in Irvine, paired with private training
5.0 on Google. Training clients since 2005, in my own private Irvine studio since 2008. Plans from $197 a month, published, because you should not have to ask.
Nutrition here is not a diet you go on. I fine-tune it to your work, your activity level and your lifestyle, so it still fits your week a year from now. It sits alongside private sessions in the studio.
A lifestyle change, not a diet
A diet is something you go on and then come off. I would rather change a handful of things you do every week, so the result holds when the program ends.
So we fine-tune it to your work, your activity level and your lifestyle. If a rule does not fit the life you actually have, the rule changes. Individual results vary.
How fat loss actually works
Say your body burns 2,000 calories a day and you eat 2,500. Your body stores those extra 500 as fat. Burn 2,000 and eat 1,500 instead, and you lose 500 worth of fat.
That is the whole mechanism. You cannot out-burn what you eat, so we work out your RMR, your activity level and what you burn on an average day.
What we fine-tune
Protein targets for your size and your training. Grocery defaults for busy nights. Eating out in Irvine and Newport without undoing the week. Travel days. Coming back from vacation.
The advice is built on your own preferences, and the plan stays conversational and adjustable. When progress stalls we have a number to adjust instead of a guess: move more, eat a little less.
Why pair it with private training
Food and training talk to each other. Training every week is how you hold on to muscle while you are in a calorie deficit, so the weight you lose is fat.
That is why both happen in one place. When your week gets chaotic the nutrition side gets simpler, instead of you quitting the training because the eating got hard.
What a plan includes
Every studio plan includes VeraForma Premium free for the days between visits, and plans start from $197 a month. See Plans and Pricing for current plan details.
Coaching is the product. There is no meal delivery and no kitchen at the studio. What you get is guidance you use in your own kitchen, on your own week.
Your trainer
I am Brad Glaser. I own the studio and train every client myself. Five certifications: NASM CPT and Master Trainer, NASM-CES, NASM-PES, NCSF and PFIT, plus a current CPR card. Training clients since 2005, studio founded 2008.
Nutrition coaching sits under those NASM credentials. There is no separate nutrition certification. The studio is completely private: just you and me, nobody else in the room.
How this fits your week
Most clients train around real jobs and families. You pick a session rhythm you can keep, then use VeraForma Premium on the in-between days so momentum does not depend on studio visits alone.
Fitness is a journey, not a destination. Bring nutrition up in your free session and it gets priority in the plan you leave with. Nothing is locked in on day one.
Knowing where you actually stand
Your daily target is calculated from your own numbers, age, weight, height, activity level, and goal, rather than a generic chart. We set it in your free hour.
Watching your calories is not about obsessing over every bite. It is about knowing where you actually stand. Keeping a food journal and knowing your numbers takes the guesswork out.
Right total, stored anyway
Your body can only actually use so many calories within about a two hour digestion window. What is left goes to energy, fat, or muscle, and a large chunk of it is fat.
That can happen with your daily total exactly on target. So we split the same total across five or six sittings: 1,500 calories becomes five of about 300, not three of 500. Individual results vary.
Where your quick carbs belong
Carbs do not require oxygen to burn, which is why they power most muscular contractions. Let your stores run low and training starts to feel like a real grind.
Simple carbs are immediate energy. Save them for around your workout, when your body can actually use that quick energy. Lean on complex carbs, the slow kind, the rest of the day.
