Lose Fat, Get Fit!

I have known Dave for a solid 20 years and have trained with him on and off the whole time. After my son was born in 2020, I immediately turned to Dave for long-term programming to take off the weight and to get me back in shape for the triathlons and mud runs that I love to do.

I live in Germany, and Dave provides me with workouts based on my event calendar with a new program every 4 weeks.

My 2023 event season yielded particularly good results. I'm no rookie, but this year I shaved 20 minutes off a 13 mile Spartan and 30 minutes off my Half Ironman time. The kicker is, I did very little actual endurance training this year. The mix of kettlebell, dumbbell, and bodyweight workouts that Dave programmed for me were more than enough to not only get me through this race season but net me two significant improvements!

I highly recommend Dave 's training and nutrition services!

Today I had my final weigh-in after taking the 6-week Challenge. I lost 23.6 pounds! In the 6-weeks I learned:

1. That it is possible to lose weight at any age. At almost 57 years of age and post-menopause, I believed that I was stuck with the effects that age has had on my body, not true! Age is just a number, and if you put in the time and are committed, you can lose weight at any age.

2. The gym you choose makes all the difference in your success. IronBody Fitness is not your typical gym, it’s more like a training center, the perfect place for anyone who is serious about getting healthy & fit. 

3. Working out with other individuals who have the same mindset to get fit and healthy helps to encourage you. We all push each other and offer support in class and through a group support page. Always fun to see other Camp participants when starting the class. You become part of a Fitness Family!

4. Non-scale victories such as fitting into smaller clothes, walking up a flight or two of stairs without getting out of breath, and feeling energized and better about yourself are just as rewarding as seeing the descending numbers on the scale.

In closing, I want to stress that The Transformation Challenge at IronBody Fitness has been the best decision I have made for myself and for my health. It has helped me to learn to make better food choices and to make time for myself through exercise and rest. The 6-week Challenge has made me stronger, look better, and most importantly, feel better about myself. I couldn’t have done it without Dave & Cheryl Randolph, truly a fantastic team who are totally committed to your success. Thank you, Dave & Cheryl.

I'm back (gone 2 years)! Feeling like the prodigal daughter I have returned to IBF and Dave Randolph for training. After a nasty fall and shoulder repair sidelined me, I tried swimming, Faster Way, CrossFit and a home workout during CV-19 shut down. I developed severe right knee pain that would not subside after a few days rest. I was re-irritating it with every workout. 4 weeks ago I asked Dave for help and I feel stronger, with very little pain and I can work out regularly again. Dave knew exactly how to begin to correct the knee problem. I'm very happy about being back with THE BEST PERSONAL TRAINER in Louisville. Dave's workouts are varied, non-boring, challenging and affordable. I have worked with many good trainers but Dave is the best. Sincerely, he is.

IronBody Fitness Transformation Center is a gym where ANYONE can get healthy and know they are getting the best advice and training available. I just completed the 20in20 challenge, where losing weight wasn't a priority but losing Body Fat was. I liked the idea of not focusing on weight loss.

For eight weeks, I meal-prepped and followed a workout regimen designed by Dave just For ME.

In the beginning, I felt like I wasn't losing weight or fat. Dave adjusted my workouts and meal plan after a few weeks and again towards the end because of a work injury. But staying consistent and trusting Dave's knowledge the lbs and fat started to fall off after what seemed like forever..(5 weeks).

I'm not where I want to be, BUT I'M DEFINITELY GETTING CLOSER EACH DAY with Dave's help.

I was completely shocked when I learned how much my body had changed in only eight weeks. Not one time did Dave make me feel like I wasn't doing the work when the lbs/fat wasn't coming off, which kept me confident in the plan I had set out. I know after another 8 weeks of training with Dave at IronBody, I will reach the goal I've set. And with the new tools and lessons from daily lessons, Dave sends out each day, I will be able to maintain and sustain this new lifestyle..not just a quick fix and gain the weight back.

Dave is the real deal when it comes to training multiple different body types. He creates plans around YOU..and no 2 people lose weight the same. HARDWORK. DEDICATION. CONSISTENCY is manageable for anyone looking to be healthy and fit. And Coach Dave can/will get you there.

If you want to look better, feel better, be stronger, and move better, then Iron Body Fitness is the place for you. Need to lose 20 pounds or more? Don't want to lose anything but gain muscle tone and be more flexible. Go to see Dave Randolph at Iron Body Fitness. All you have to do is commit and show up. Dave has everything else you need but he can't do the work for you. I highly recommend Dave and IBF to anyone looking to challenge themselves, to start a fitness program or to improve their overall health. I am dumbfounded that there aren't people waiting in line to get into Iron Body Fitness. No frills, just great people and super workouts. Do yourself a favor and check it out. It may change your life.

I have tried several different diet/exercise plans before going to iron body fitness. Ultimately I think I had failed at each of these because there was a fundamental lack of accountability in the programs and I didn't have enough self-discipline to manufacture that accountability myself. Dave Randolph was able to provide that accountability that has ultimately lead to me starting a healthier era of my life. I started The challenge at 248 pounds. And completed it 10 weeks later at 229 pounds. I also broke the gym sled record! It has been one of the most successful weight loss endeavors that I have undergone. I highly recommend it to anybody who is trying to juggle work life and personal development. Dave, his wife, Cheryl, their pups Hope and Cash, and the other members provide a warm environment where one feels accepted and welcome to do what they can without judgment. Dave is a friend and mentor, and I thank him for his diligence.

Since I moved back to northern Indiana to take over the family business, Dave has been providing me with online programs written for me based on my body and some issues I have due to a severe neck injury. These programs have helped tremendously with my recovery! I highly recommend Dave for Online or in-person training!

Thank you Dave Randolph for all the help and support at IronBody Fitness Transformation Center! before i started this program i knew i could be healthier and should be exercising more but my day-to-day schedule made it so easy for me to let myself off the hook. one of the best things about this program is all the ways you make it impossible for me to back out of the workout or cheat on the diet! the keto diet plan is great! it has really easy recipes and all the protein stops me from feeling hungry all day! this was definitely one of the best fitness programs I've been a part of!

I finished my lean challenge last Saturday, down 24lbs in 10weeks! Only 6lbs away from my goal!! Thank you Dave Randolph for all your help!! This was so out of my comfort zone but now it just feels natural. If anyone is looking to lose weight, get stronger and live a healthier lifestyle please go see Dave Randolph at Ironbody Fitness! He will help you meet your goal! Thanks again Dave Randolph!

My husband and I found Iron Body Fitness after having our first child and realized we needed to take care of ourselves if we were to take care of a child. I was a fitness class junkie with yoga and Zumba and everything else; however, I always found myself getting bored and finding reasons not to go.

I had never lifted weights before but loved the challenge of learning something new. Iron Body's group classes are perfect because they create a community that keeps you motivated but also work at your individual level so that I am always being challenged and never bored.

After my first child, I could get to my high school weight healthily, and then Dave guided me through my workouts while pregnant with my second child. Now, as a mom of 2, I thought it would be harder to make it to the classes, but I love the community and the challenge so much that I am still motivated to come to class. It's not a hassle or a burden; it's a priority for the health of my family and my own self-care. 

Coach Dave does an amazing job not only coaching to all levels in fitness but is also great at guiding you through your diet to help you reach your health goals.

I love it so much; Dave has trained me to coach so I can help run classes!
