Coaching Testimonials

Check out our 1:1 coaching here.

I signed up for CronusFit 1:1 coaching in order to provide structure to my training in preparation for RASP2. I was very satisfied due to the direct correlation of the training to the RASP2 physical events. Anthony always provided me feedback in a timely manner and reassured me I was on the right track to be successful.

CronusFit’s programming helped me in a unique situation where I only had a couple months to go from detrained to RASP-ready. With their help, I met/exceeded all physical standards and graduated from the course. My coach gave me a custom workout progression and nutrition plan that addressed my weaknesses and got me where I needed to be in record time. The weekly/bi-weekly check-ins and personalized adjustments to the programming afterwards were the most useful part of their coaching. If you have specific goals in mind and want to take things to the next level, CronusFit is 100% worth the investment.

Working with James has been both an honor and a fortune. About 8 months before selection, I found myself in a rut. Thanks to James’ plans and his patience and professionalism, I rolled up my sleeves and went to work. James wasn't just a coach; he added value as a supporter with his belief in me. Thanks to CronusFit, today my dream is a reality.

I PR'd all of my main three lifts while maintaining a good cardio base. James is flexible and quickly adjusts plans as needed. I enjoy the flexibility in the programming and the relationship James has with his clients. He is personally invested in their development as people and athletes. James is also extremely responsive and adjusts the programming to fit your needs.

My goals and expectations were surpassed due to the effective methods Coach James used which set me up for success at Ranger School, plus the effective advice to be successful during my training. Coach James played a huge role in my success not only for his patience, but his guidance and motivation.

CronusFit’s programming gave me the strength and endurance to outlast the rigors of Ranger School. I was not only prepped for RAP Week and Darby, but also had the endurance to perform in Mountains and Florida without hitting major physical fatigue. The rucks that they program gave me the physical and mental endurance that made the grueling long walks that much easier to recover from. Highly recommend following this program if you want to be successful throughout Ranger School.

This service was exactly what I needed to get back on track. I cut 45 seconds off my 2 mile time and improved my ruck pace. I was also deployed, so I didn't have a lot of time and this fit the bill; a low equipment, low volume programming service that was planned very well and was affordable.

- Cody L.

James was organized, always available to answer follow-up questions, and constructive when addressing shortcomings. The structure of check-ins kept us on track and made weekly objectives clear. Discussing food solutions that met personal preferences was also a positive point. The greatest value for me personally was in seeing how much calorie consumption affects goals and how easily it can creep into your diet more than you might suspect. James' recommendations to lower fat consumption, while not radically changing my grocery list, had the greatest value for me.

- Steve W.

The plans have absolutely been working for me and I feel like Dylan listens to my feedback to help keep me improving. I also feel like the program is tailored to my ability level so I’m not running myself into the ground. I feel like Dylan is personable and listens to my input, additionally he is easy to reach if needed for questions.

Transitioning from being Army to Marine Corps and ACFT to PFT/CFT and prepping for TBS while maintaining being a competitive bodybuilder seemed to be a dream until I started working with Anthony and the CronusFit team. We've successfully balanced hypertrophy and strength as well as functional fitness, running, and rucking. I've worked with a few coaches but working with a coach who understands the military lifestyle truly makes a difference.

Cody’s Testimonial

The greatest value James brought to me and my overall health is that nutrition doesn't have to be complicated if you're fueling your body with enough food. James is by far the most experienced nutrition coach I've worked with and is also an exceptional strength coach. His methods are backed by science and research. he holds his clients accountable while also being understanding of their specific needs at the same time.

John’s Testimonial

The most valuable things that I learned from James are the strategies for maintaining a caloric deficit. In the past, I would only manage to stay in a deficit for a couple of weeks. The processes and accountability helped me maintain a cut much longer and achieve my goals. By losing weight slowly, I experienced little to no loss of strength and bettered my conditioning. I plan to continue to use this service to further increase my performance.

Alex’s Testimonial

CronusFit was a huge help in assisting me with my diet and training plans. The results speak for themselves and I'm floored by James' guidance to make it all so sustainable long-term. I feel like I would've failed my diet as a whole if it weren't for CronusFit.

Banks’ Testimonial

Our client Banks stayed the same weight in 10 weeks but is significantly leaner while running faster and lifting more than before.

Be like banks.

James’ Testimonial

I have a more structured and smart way of training/eating. This has enabled me to be more consistent than I’ve ever been compared to other programs. This service has truly surpassed my expectations with the results I’ve had and easy-to-follow programming has been great.

Nick’s Testimonial

James taught me how to build a relationship between diet and exercise. The greatest value was not just the weight loss and the increase of performance in the gym, but the overall healthy relationship between diet and exercise. in the long run it is about longevity and sustainability. I no longer stress about stepping on a scale and seeing my weight fluctuate upwards by 1 or 2 pounds and starve myself the next day to hit a lower number on the scale.

Sam’s Testimonial

I learned a lot and James always had practical ideas for staying on course despite what life throws at us. I learned how to eat better and understand why. I was able to dispel several exercise / dieting myths. He left me with all of the tools I needed to succeed. I still use his methods to continue to progress.

He taught me how important eating a healthy diet, getting adequate sleep, and tracking macros can be, and I quickly got into the best shape of my life. Whenever I slip, I go back to the basics of what he taught me. No amount of training will get the desired results without the other components of health. Thanks, James!

Joseph’s Testimonial

Although I’ve been active and in a “fitness” community for over 15 years, I lacked consistent guidance and bounced around from program to program which led to incredibly slow results. Coach James keeps me focused on those items that will make the most impact. 

The macros approach and allowing me to choose my own foods within the limits of the program provides mental stability helping me stick to goals consistently over long periods.

James and the Cronusfit crew have done a great job in educating me and providing accountability toward my nutrition plan. I feel much more confident in how to make solid daily choices that will allow me to maintain a good body composition as part of my normal work schedule.
