When I decided to do Whole30 in January of 2017, I was apprehensive about the program. I got into writing about food because I strongly believe that food can and should bring people joy, and the idea of restricting what you eat made me immensely uncomfortable for a variety of different reasons.

But Kitchn wanted to cover this trend in wellness, and I thought it was important to try it out for editorial reasons. Plus, it was just 30 days, so I didn’t think I was making a huge lifestyle change.

When I was first reading up on what Whole30 entails, Melissa Hartwig (the co-founder of Whole30), said that this program will “change your life.” Yeah, right, I remember thinking. It felt like one of those cheesy tag lines that a bad infomercial would have. So I was surprised to find that, after over a year of finishing Whole30, in retrospect it really had changed my life and the way I eat — but not in the way you might think.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

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.
