Yes! I wish there was more out there to rebut the misinformation Lynch and others like him put out there about folic acid and perhaps other things as well. It’s hard to find anything countering it unless you’re specifically searching for it. When I realized I had a folate deficiency, I was afraid to try a folic acid supplement because I have the compound heterozygous MTHFR SNPs and had read all about how bad folic acid was. Funny thing is, I’d used products with folic acid in them for years with no issues. I’ve had trouble figuring out how much to supplement and if I actually need all the B vitamins, but to this day I feel I’ve suffered ZERO issues from folic acid itself. Also, I’ve had no issues with cyanocobalamin. I know there are some that do better on methylated forms, but this is definitely not true for everyone. I’ve personally never tried them, but since folic acid works, is more readily available, and is less expensive, I think I’ll stick to it unless my circumstances change.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
