MBX - The Mind & Body Experience

May 2024

Thelis is the best! I was searching for a while for a trainer that offered flexibility and the ability to work out from home. Thelis is able to curate a workout plan to my exact needs and how my body is feeling. After the 12 week program I feel so much stronger and the results were shocking.Since working with Thelis I feel so much stronger, healthier, and more confident after my sessions with her. 10/10 would recommend working with her!

1000% recommend trusting Thelis! She helped me lose ~11 pounds and back close to my original weight within 4 months by jumpstarting my metabolism again!I had gained ~15 pounds during the pandemic that I was unable to get rid of despite my tried and tested methods that I used before the pandemic to stay fit. I'd put off some weight only for it to come back - it was a defeating cycle. This led me to seek a trainer. There are a few things that I love about Thelis: 1. She focuses on bodyweight strength training which was a plus for me as I wasn't a fan of machines and I wanted to learn a workout not dependent on a gym 2. She was proactive and focused on pain management and form adjustments which was important to me as I have lower back pain 3. She was the only trainer who saw the "extra fat" I was hoping to shed during the consultation. This sounds silly but if a trainer can't see what you see, they can't help you accomplish what you want to accomplish4. She had a holistic plan across nutrition, cardio and strength training that she had confidence in! 5. She's a clear and direct communicator who sets expectations appropriately. As an example, I had switched to a vegetarian diet during the pandemic, and we had an open conversation about what progress and pace I can expect if I chose to stay vegetarian vs not. 6. She seeks quality (which I do too)! This is in the form of her seeking quality ingredients but also referring me to quality other providers (e.g., chiropractors). 7. She helps you learn about nutrition and ingredients along the way - I love this topic too so I was excited to learn and get more curious about what I was buying at the grocery store.8. She helped me incorporate her nutritional guidance into my eating habits. As an example, I cook a lot of Indian food so we found ways to adjust what I was making so I can still eat what I want with some simple tweaks. 9. Most importantly - she's FUN, motivating and challenging!! In terms of the results beyond losing the 11 pounds:1. I feel MY BODY is controlling my eating habits - not MY MIND! It's much easier to eat better when you don't feel like you're forcing yourself to. This is maybe because as I started eating cleaner and reset my body to that level with Thelis' plan - my body isn't craving the salty (e.g., cheese is my vice) or sugary things. In fact, I can now literally hear my body yelling at me after I do eat such in the form of bloating, churning, etc. The Mind-Body-Experience (MBX) is possible!2. I feel MUCH BETTER in my clothes and I found love for shopping again.3. I'm seeing much more definition and tone in my arms, shoulders, legs, and abs.4. I feel less bloated, more energetic, less pain in certain parts of my body, & overall more confident!5. I was getting bored of eating out but now I look so much more forward to eating out again because it's my "cheat meal" and I get to intentionally choose my treat (just like a kid!)
