THE FT5 OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM
REFORM . REIGNITE . OPTIMIZE
So many plans online are built around cutting calories, restricting carbs or other major food groups, and feeding our desire for unreasonable results. Why do you think so many people lose weight just to gain it all back, and then some?
The reason is that when you cut your calories severely, you’ll lose weight on the front end, but then you’ll start to experience lower energy, a decreased metabolism, loss of lean mass, trouble sleeping, lack of motivation… the list goes on.
At that point, you break, and due to your hampered metabolism, even when you return to a normal eating pattern, you’ll gain all of the weight back.
We work to actually increase your intake over time paired with an efficient training program in order to metabolically scale you week over week. This will allow you to add lean mass, drop body fat, and put you on the best path to succeed long term.
You are paying for years and years of expertise responsible for thousands of transformations. We will get you to your goals in the most efficient way possible.
We won’t have you doing hours of cardio per day, wasting your time and effort.
Our coaching is all about teaching you the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’ of your program so you can maintain your results long beyond the scope of your time with us.
We have a full learning portal, coaching calls, 24-hour text access, and much more for you to continue to understand what’s really going to drive your results long-term.
Our 24-hour coaching access gives you the opportunity to reach out whenever you have questions, issues, or just need guidance.
We also have built a community of men who are also committed to getting results. We encourage sharing wins and landmarks in your fitness journey for us all to celebrate together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Not necessarily. Depending on your goals, you may be able to achieve your goal physique from home. If you are looking to build lean mass, resistance training will be necessary at a gym. That being said, gyms are very competitively priced these days, and you should be able to find ones that start at $10-40 per month.
That depends on your metabolism, starting points, hormones, schedule, ability to prep meals, diligence, consistency, etc… That’s why this program is so beneficial and is getting real people sustainable results. We focus on the unique needs of each individual instead of just tossing you on a restrictive plan that will cause you to lose a bit of weight on the front end, but will leave you with decreased energy and sex drive, a hampered metabolism, lack of motivation, and an inability to sustain those results. If you’re looking for a quick fix, go elsewhere. We are here to help you lose the weight and keep it off for the rest of your life.
You will learn how to eat sustainably for your goals, how to make food substitutions, how to enjoy the foods that you love and still see results, how to enjoy your workouts, how to scale your workouts without injury, how to utilize mobility to keep your body performing and feeling great, how to eat on the road or on vacation, how your body and metabolism work, how to make this into a lifestyle, and how to never have to waste money on another fad diet or product ever again.
This program is different from other programs in the quality and care of the coaching. We use a protocol called the FT5 method to scale and optimize your metabolism, nutrition, training, lifestyle, mindfulness, and sleep. This will leave you feeling and looking incredible. We also teach you the principles of our method so you can maintain these results long beyond the scope of the program.
That’s easy. We have a suite of coaches with over 60 years of experience that are here for you every step of the way. You have 24-hour text access, weekly coaching calls, group coaching calls with head coaches Eric and Brad, a full learning portal, and much more. This isn’t a plug and play model, we listen to your biofeedback (hunger levels, soreness, sleep quality, energy levels, mood, etc) as well as your human feedback (enjoyment of workouts and nutrition, consistency, setbacks, questions, etc) to optimize your whole process as we go.
Of course, that’s what we’re here for. A plateau (or perceived plateau) is your body’s way of telling you that you are at homeostasis in your body’s energy balance. We will break through that with a shift in your nutritional specificity or training output. Regardless of the reason, we’ll get to the bottom of it and continue to push you towards your goals.
Yes. This program is predicated on the education of our clientele as they move through the program. This is accompanied by our FT5 metabolic blueprint in which we will increase your intake and optimize your training to put you in the best place to succeed, but will also teach you the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’ so you can maintain it on your own.
Yes, we want you to still have the ability to live your life. We can discuss options to make that work for you within the scope of your plan so you can still see results.
We are not doctors, so we will never prescribe supplements or vitamins. We will also never suggest you use fat burners or other thermogenics which are a waste of money. We would only suggest supplements that may improve digestion, energy levels, sleep, or deficiencies stemming from your nutrition.
After the program, there are two options;
1. You can accelerate into our veterans program for a lesser cost and still receive updated training and nutrition plans, accountability, coaching access, etc. This is a month-to-month commitment.
2. You can take what we’ve taught you and run with it! We give you all of the tools to maintain your results, or to continue to push towards new goals all on your own.
Yes... With the caveat that the more specificity we can have on your nutrition, the better. Restaurants often use lots of oil and additives in their food to make it taste better, and can be hard to track accurately towards your total macronutrient goals. Additionally, preparing and eating your own food allows you to have complete control over what you’re putting into your body. So a meal out here or there within the parameters of your plan is ok, but if you’re planning on doing it daily, you likely won’t see the results you are looking for.
Of course, we build out your programs from scratch and have had many clients with night shifts in our program that have seen tremendous results.
Of course, that’s what we’re here for. A plateau (or perceived plateau) is your body’s way of telling you that you are at homeostasis in your body’s energy balance. We will break through that with a shift in your nutritional specificity or training output. Regardless of the reason, we’ll get to the bottom of it and continue to push you towards your goals.
Yes. We can utilize a more macro-based model which will give you more flexibility to eat a greater diversity of foods and track them as you progress through your day. That being said, if you plan on eating out every day at work, this will be tough since that will be hard to track. We would suggest planning ahead and having some non-perishable options available.
Yes. On our intake form, you will include any foods that you do not care for, and we will never include these in your plan.
That’s ok. You won’t need to know a single exercise by name because there is a video for every exercise in your program, and it is app supported. You can also send us a video of any exercise for form review and we will give you same-day feedback (as long as you reach us during normal business hours)
