This program doesn’t just tell you what you should and shouldn’t be eating, it teaches you WHY. This was my biggest takeaway because other programs tell you “yeah okay don’t eat that” but with the extensive knowledge Kayla and Vin give you, you can understand the actual damage certain foods can do to your body, which gives you the motivation to protect your body and your health.
I’ve also been on both sides of the dieting thought process. I used to think, “I don’t need someone to tell me how to eat, I’ll just eat healthy”. Trust me, you will NEVER get as much information on your own as you get from Kayla and Vin. Plus, the internet is full of garbage information. What I THOUGHT was healthy was actually preventing me from not only losing weight but preventing me from feeling my best. The other side of the dieting thought process is “I can’t do it! I can’t eat like that for the rest of my life!” And again, I can tell you YOU CAN! I didn’t believe it either, but once it became habit, I didn’t think of myself as “on a diet”, because it’s not; it’s a lifestyle change to feel your best while still giving yourself the freedom to enjoy life!
Because I came to Kayla mainly for nutritional purposes, I had no idea how much I would fall in love with the workouts. I’ve tried other memberships for high intensity workout gyms and I always found myself making excuses to stop because I hated going. I actually would get anxiety before going because of how much I disliked that feeling of trying to keep up with other people with no chance to ever catch my breath. I can confidently say I not only no longer get workout anxiety, I truly look forward to each workout Kayla prepares for me! She designs each workout specific for me and what equipment I have available to me and I have the ability to go at my own pace. She knows exactly when to increase my weights, which, if left on my own, I’d be using the same weight for months! The workouts are the perfect balance of pushing me to become stronger without pushing myself to the point of risking injury.
This is the best I’ve felt, both physically and mentally, in years, and I could not recommend this program enough to anyone who wants to learn how to live their healthiest life.”

I reached out to Kayla interested in having some nutrition accountability alongside a strength training program. All I thought I needed was a space to track my food and some support along the way, but I received so much more. Fitfilled’s nutrition program is packed with easy to digest nutrition education broken down into weekly modules that help you build better habits over time. Vin’s synthesis of a multitude of research provided me with the reasoning to support specific food choices and a deep seeded shift in my mindset around food. Kayla’s weekly food diary check ins held me accountable, but were never judgmental. I felt completely safe to ask vulnerable questions and discuss my challenges. I know Kayla and Vin have an unwavering desire to support their community in improving lifelong mental, physical, and emotional health.
The exercise program has been exactly what I didn’t know I needed. The emphasis on mobility and recovery has kept me fresh and always looking forward to the next lift. Every single movement is purposeful. The programing is designed to not only build muscle and help you look good, but to keep you healthy.
Throughout the 12 weeks (and counting) I have felt more energized, stronger, and leaner. My digestive system is much happier as I’ve noticed significantly less bloating and gas. Their support has helped me build mental fortitude as it’s not always easy to prepare and pack meals, make different choices than friends at restaurants, and respectfully decline desserts sometimes. I’ve been reminded that I deserve to feel good. I deserve to feed my body with foods that uplift me and make my body operate at its optimal level. Kayla and Vin have shown me that everyone deserves to know this feeling, too.”

The program was extremely easy to use and very informative. I love that it not only guided me through, but also taught me along the way. Kayla was so great at checking in with me and holding me accountable. She helped me work around many obstacles: lack of sleep, sick baby, teething baby, me being sick, vacations, you name it! She had the perfect balance between being understanding, but also holding me accountable.
I have come such a long way in these last 12 weeks and feel so proud of myself! Losing 6 inches in my waist is way more than I thought I would. More importantly, my energy is noticeably higher and my mental state has improved tremendously. I now have the knowledge and habits to continue a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family. I am so thankful for this program and all of Kayla’s help. 10/10 recommend!”

I had two major injuries to my ankles at work when I was 37 and 38, which left me unable to do much of anything I did before the injuries. Within a year, I was up to 260 lbs, soon thereafter to 275, and ultimately 300 lbs by age 45. I was a mess physically and mentally, but I didn’t have the confidence or knowledge to turn my life around and regain a semblance of health. I hit rock bottom in 2020 when I went to a cardiologist in regards to constant fatigue and an abnormal EKG I received at my yearly physical. My symptoms were showing that I had a blockage on the lower left side of my heart. I underwent an invasive procedure, and fortunately it turned out that there was no blockage, but this was my wake-up moment.
It still took me a few months to get motivated to do something. My wife wasn’t happy with her physical health and appearance either, so we decided to do a lifestyle change together. We reached out to Kayla and Vin for a plan and some major help in getting our lives back on track. We started their nutrition program together. I always fancied myself as knowledgeable in regards to nutrition, physiology, and physical health prior to beginning the program. Boy was I wrong! After reading the nutrition modules, it became evident that we didn’t know much at all and what we did know was proven wrong years ago.
We worked together to change our diets and lifestyles. We began getting up at 5:15 AM to get to workout classes by 6 AM. We began eating CLEAN. We put forethought into creating menus for the week. We shopped together, we prepared food together, we talked about food and how we were feeling. It was difficult at first changing a lifestyle that you’ve been accustomed to for decades. We were no longer eating processed foods and sugars. It was tough, but we leaned on each other and day by day saw changes in our appearance and energy levels.
Our weight dropped. Our measurements shrank. The program was working. This was no fad diet. It was education-based and my wife and I were receiving a thorough education on how the body works with proper nutrition. Our before and after pictures were shocking to us after such a short amount of time, but most importantly we felt fantastic. We had more energy than ever. We were feeling well rested after a good night’s sleep. Our energy didn’t drag in the middle of the day. We were educated, and we couldn’t be happier.
Throughout the process, Kayla and Vin were there to offer advice and knowledge. They had confidence in us even when we did not. We are now 5 months removed from our program and the weight is still ticking off us and the energy levels are high. I would recommend this program to anyone out there not happy with the way they feel or look!”
I have never been able to get into a groove since working full time the last 5 years. My job can be very stressful and demanding and my health and fitness really just fell off my priority list. I haven’t been able to lose weight in years and gradually it took its toll. Every time I tried to start working out in the past I would do great for a month and then lose all momentum. I would go to the gym and focus on mainly cardio or find Pinterest workouts and feel overwhelmed by the long circuits. I’d walk aimlessly through gym equipment until I called it quits after hardly touching any of them.
Before reaching out to Kayla I felt desperate but also very anxious. I really didn’t know if this would work for me, I wanted to lose weight but had been so unsuccessful. I knew I needed to change my lifestyle to feel like myself again.
I really can’t explain with how happy I am with the entire program and how much it changed me. The workouts progressed at the perfect rate for me and the food aspect also kept me accountable. There are usually 3/4 shorter circuits which helped me feel like I didn’t want to quit after the first time through. I was so surprised with how quickly I started to see results with my weight and mind.
I no longer hate the gym but look forward to it. Kayla kept me motivated and I am seriously stronger mentally and physically than I have been in SO LONG. If you feel stuck where you are and feel like you just have to “accept” it, please know you don’t have to!!! Don’t be afraid to ask for help because you can be the person you want to be. I can’t thank Kayla and this program enough. The 12 weeks is not the end for me, just the beginning!”
Kayla P.
This program challenged me on the most fundamental level to examine and reflect on the food choices I was making and how these choices were impacting my daily life. I appreciated the support from Kayla with all of my struggles and “stuck points” – her kind, nonjudgmental feedback may not always have been what I wanted to hear, but I knew she always had my best interests and goals at heart! She had faith in me even when I doubted it in myself. Her patience at motivating me to keep on track week after week helped me see how important it was to take ownership of my health and nutrition goals. I even decided to focus less on weight loss for a month and just focus on my nutrition – I appreciated this flexibility of the Program because it took the pressure off of me to meet a weight loss goal and rather just “feel” what being healthy really is, without being upset at not losing a certain amount of weight and sabotaging myself. I actually feel more confident about my weight loss goals now, because for the first time I believe they are achievable within the context of my daily life.
Overall, I believe the Fitfilled Program has educated and empowered me to meet my health goals. It has given me the tools and confidence to see the “big picture” of my health. I have the ability to think differently about my nutrition and exercise goals, which I know has set me up for long term success. Even if my weight loss takes a bit longer than planned, I see myself as successful just for keeping at it!”
Chris P.
Long story short (actually not too long as it was a short 12 weeks), my doubts were quickly eliminated!
Kayla guided me without overwhelming me, gave me choices that fit into me and my family’s lifestyle, and mentally helped me understand that going out with my friends is just as important as keeping a balanced diet. She gave me attainable challenges each week that kept me motivated and accountable.
I panicked at the end of 12 weeks hoping I would be able to keep the habits that we had been working on, and two weeks later I am comfortable to admit that they’re here to stay. They are now a lifestyle that is a conscious effort but a worthwhile one to feel the way I do. I feel comfortable in my own skin and crave foods that I know are good for me short- and long-term!
I will continue to work with Kayla in a different capacity which is also a huge benefit for me and looking forward to where the next 12 weeks take me!”
I’ve never felt “joy” when it came to food – meal planning and prepping didn’t feel “worth it.” So I resorted to a lot of processed “easy” foods. I thought I ate fairly healthy, but the food tracking highlighted where I needed to put in some work. I’m so happy to say that my meals (which are so colorful!!) bring me so much joy now. I have completely reframed my relationship with food and it truly is doing what it is meant to do – fuel my body.
While my goal was not weight loss but rather a more nutrient-rich diet to support my fitness goals, there was some movement on the scale and the tape: I’m down 3lbs, lost 1.25 inches off my waist, and lost approx 2 inches off my hips. But best of all, I can see the muscle tone improvement, and I FEEL better. I am so grateful for this journey of health and wellness. Kayla is so incredibly supportive and affirming and truly takes the journey with you. Sign up now, you won’t regret it!”

From Kayla and Vin I learned a couple things; I wasn’t getting anywhere near the amount of protein I needed, and because of that was snacking throughout the day. A lot of the expensive “healthy” foods and snacks I’d buy had either a good amount of sugars or were just not really clean ingredients. I was amazed by how full and good I felt by focusing on eating whole foods. Before starting the program I would always get bloated after eating and assumed it was a food allergy, but since working with Kayla and Vin I do not have that issue which that alone was a HUGE win to me. Most days I would eat three meals because they would be so protein, calorie, nutritionally packed I wasn’t hungry after them.
In the modules there are so many tips and tricks to things I never knew, that I can carry with me for the rest of my life.
The workouts were easily my favorite part. It’s not like a workout class where you are using the same weights every class. Kayla takes your feedback and adjusts your weights as you progress, and the exercises that work best for you (ex. I had previously hurt my hand skiing, and Kayla altered my weights and workouts when it was bothering me). Also I liked that it included stretches/plyos, things I never want to do but are so important to do.
My second favorite part was I still had my dark chocolate fix every day, and my weekly glass of wine. You’re not doing a soul sucking life alerting diet. I made small, very manageable changes that made all the difference in the world to me. My body and gut are strong and happy, and it feels amazing to feel so good! Before the pandemic I was working with a 40lb kettlebell, and by the end of the program I used a 70lb kettlebell – I never would have thought I’d be able to lift that! Proof is in the progress!”
Kayla and Vin worked together with me every step of the way, answering any questions I had, checking in with me, and coaching me along the way, providing weekly feedback on my nutrition. The education alone in this program is worth every penny. I haven’t felt this comfortable in my skin in a long time, and it is thanks to Fitfilled. If you are thinking about diving into this program, I promise you won’t regret it! Thank you Kayla and Vin for helping me reach my goals!”
Alyssa S.
During the first twelve weeks of the program, I lost about fifteen pounds. My clothes are fitting better, but more importantly, I’m also focused on choosing healthier foods and filling in the nutritional gaps in my diet. Having the accountability of Kayla’s feedback on my food diary has been key for me in learning to make better choices. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking to get healthier and make sustainable, lasting changes.”
Paige J.
My before and after pictures were honestly such a shock – I didn’t even realize how much my body could change by fueling it with the most beneficial foods. My body craves healthy food now and I feel better than ever. I am so excited to be confident in my wedding dress. This program has truly changed my eating habits forever! If you are debating doing this program, DO IT – I highly recommend it!”
Alex G.
After 12 weeks of working with Kayla and changing some of my prior eating habits, I can honestly say that I feel amazing. I’m comfortable in my skin again, and that is something that I’m really proud of. Being able to reach out to Kayla with any questions that I’ve had at any time throughout this program has been extremely beneficial. I’ve now learned what my body reacts both positively and negatively to, and that is one of the greatest feelings. I’m so ready to continue taking care of myself again!
Thank you endlessly, Kayla!”

Three months after ending our program, Brooke is still going strong and had this to say about a recent vacation:
“… we were on vacation all last week and I indulged believe me, however I did it so differently than before, one big meal instead of 3, and we walked the beach every morning. I think I only gained a pound which made me very proud of myself! I do not feel in any way I missed out on anything while on vacation.”
Brooke L.
Before this journey I had what they call “leaky gut“ and I had stomach aches and bloating and I was constantly going to the bathroom. I no longer have any of those problems, which is incredible. I actually was looking for a gastroenterologist before I found this program and I thought let me just try one more thing before going to the doctor. Little did I know it was all diet. Even through stressful times, my mental health was so much better and my anxiety reduced. My quality of sleep improved tremendously. I would recommend this program to anyone as long as they’re dedicated and ready to make a change to feel good mentally and physically. I look forward to continuing my own journey by following Kayla and Vin’s advice and knowledge. My wedding is only 19 days away and I’m feeling very good and ready!
I used to do really short spurts of diets to lose weight quickly and restrict myself but this is the longest period of time that I lost weight and I was able to maintain the weight loss. I can tell this isn’t short-term and I’ve created new healthier habits to last long term. Thank you for working through my doubts and my struggles in the beginning and sticking with me through the end. I was very nervous to take that leap of faith but I’m very grateful that I did! Thank you again!!”

Over the past three months, I became so much more disciplined in nutrition choices and have become conscious of macros in food. The Modules are informative, easy to read & understand and reference on the app.
I think the most beneficial aspect of the program is the accountability. Lots of times it is easy to quit any diet or program after a few weeks. The cost of the program makes you want to see it through and the weekly feedback was always helpful. Both Kayla and Vin were always available to answer question or give tips or recommendations.
Further, this is a sustainable “program.” It does not involve special foods or drinks/shakes. It helps you choose better foods with intent.
My final measurements were surprising for me because I didn’t think I had that much to lose. I am back at a weight that I haven’t seen in 20 years and I definitely need to purchase new pants and shorts! This was such a great decision to “take the plunge” and enroll in the Fitfilled program. Thanks to Kayla and Vin!”

“Over the last 12 weeks I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kayla and Vin to better my overall health. I have been beyond impressed with the level of knowledge and expertise they brought to the table every single week. I am walking away from this 12-week journey not only feeling better about myself, but also having a better understanding of certain foods and nutrition my body needs to look and feel it’s absolute best. I can’t recommend this program enough!! Thank you Kayla and Vin!”
Caryle G.
It’s been a couple months since completing the program and I have been able to stay on track and not gain more weight.
I continue to be mindful of what I eat. But still eat that slice of pizza when I want to!
I could go on and on and on about how awesome the whole experience was.
Mark my word – everyone who can do this program should do this program!
I LOVED every second of it!”
Brianne S.
I realized things were changing for the better when my watch started feeling loose on my wrist and I had to buy a new belt because I ran out of holes! In addition, my coat now zips up easier, my jeans are baggy, I can get up off the floor more easily, and people are always commenting on how good I look!
When my three months of the program ended I decided to continue working with Kayla because I like the results I’m seeing. These results have really made me more motivated to work hard and I couldn’t do it without Kayla and this program!”
Jane H.
I am now a few months out of the program, and everything I learned during my time with Kayla has stuck with me. I am so routined in what I eat, and know exactly what my body needs/wants each day. I feel amazing, and that is what matters most. I can’t remember the last time I felt like this!
Thank you Kayla and Vin!”
The reason I reached out to Kayla was because I was not happy with how I was looking and feeling. She took the time to understand what I needed to focus on most. Kayla was always available for questions, and was an encouraging reminder to keep going when I was slacking. I started to feel a difference quite quickly with how I was feeling. I began sleeping through the night better and especially started feeling more energized throughout the day. It was reassuring to feel changes like this at the beginning. As I continued along through the program, I started to notice that on top of feeling better, I was also starting to be happier with the physical changes. It really “clicked” when friends and family were also noticing the physical changes. I look forward to continuing using what I have learned from Kayla to keep improving myself, mentally & physically.”
Cristina C.
The exercise program is my favorite part. I didn’t love to work out but with this program I’m able to do it with the equipment I have and in my own house at my own pace. I’ve started to get great definition in my arms and I hiked my first mountain! I feel great and cannot express enough how happy I am with this program!!!”

1. That I don’t have to be perfect and on plan 100% of the time. Major “lightbulb” moment as so many past attempts have been so stringent and limited on what you can and can’t have that any misstep made me feel like a complete failure and I would just give up. Kayla’s program really teaches you how to make better and healthier choices but also allows for grace on those days or times when you’re just over it. There is no judgment on those off days just encouragement and understanding and a “you can do this” attitude.
2. Logging your food may seem like a pain, it’s not and it’s so worth the little bit of extra time you take to do it. I was eating foods that I thought were good choices or seemed healthy to me and the feedback on why they weren’t and steering me in a direction to make better selections and try new things has been mind-blowing. Instead of just saying this is bad for you, there was education and modules to refer back to with research and why these foods may seem healthier but really aren’t. I have been opened up to a whole different world of food and products that aren’t weird or fancy or expensive and they fit into any normal routine. There’s no follow this meal plan, or buy these super weird, expensive foods, or you can’t ever have this again plan. With the education provided in the modules I have been able to pretty much modify the things that I cook the most often to be better for me and it wasn’t hard, and didn’t take hours to prepare and cook. For example, just the simple change of what type of salad dressing or mayo I use changes the whole dynamic of the meal, nothing hard, nothing fancy!
3. It’s not just about food and exercise, it’s about whole lifestyle. I had the worst sleeping habits, been a “night owl” for as long as I can remember and just working on changing my sleep cycle has made vast changes in how I feel overall. Instead of my 4 hours of sleep I am now getting at least 6 and my energy is so much higher and I don’t have that foggy brain feeling during the day at work anymore. The support and advice in how to start making these changes was awesome. Kayla has so much knowledge on so many things and offers a variety of ways to help you reach your goals, if something doesn’t work, she has another idea or suggestion at the ready to try.
4. With weight loss being my primary focus and I am on my way with that. There are some benefits that I didn’t expect and was surprised by. For example, I have long hair and it sheds crazy- like I felt like I was going to be bald soon because so much hair would come out after a shower or a good brushing! I can say that a pleasant surprise is that has decreased and I am not losing as much hair as I was. Absolutely something that I just assumed was due to age and had no idea could be fixed with food and exercise changes. Even though personally I am not seeing visible changes in the mirror yet, I have gone down one pant size!
5. I was a fast food junky, typically getting lunch every day from one place or another. I will say that after these 12 weeks, fast food tastes like straight-up garbage and has no appeal to me anymore. I thought that I would really miss soda and fries, and the first month yeah it was hard, but now I don’t even know why I thought it was so awesome. It literally makes me feel sick now and I don’t even crave it. Huge for me!!!
I am on such a better path- this is not a “diet”, it’s a lifestyle, and no it isn’t always easy, you have to be open and willing to do the work, change takes time and you need to forgive yourself when you don’t have your best days.
The support and encouragement that Kayla provides and the “no judgment” attitude is by far the best thing about all of this. She will be with you the entire way, you don’t ever feel like you’re just given instructions and then left out there in the world to figure it out on your own. She will be in your corner the whole time you just have to be willing to fight for what you want! I know people say this all the time but I truly mean it! If I can finally make these changes after 12 years of set in my ways bad habits and treating my mind and body like complete garbage – trust me, anyone can!!!
I will be forever grateful to Kayla for helping me change my life!!!”
Tara W.
I decided to reach out to Kayla to see if she could help. She listened to my needs and explained why her program might be a good fit for me. Turns out her program touches on all of the habits I struggled with and THEN some! Little did I know, it would be an eye-opening experience about what foods to eat and why, how those choices impact the way I feel, and the impact on nearly every other aspect of my life.
I was worried good nutrition would be too time consuming — it’s not. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to stick to it — I was able to. I wish I hadn’t let these fears stand in my way for so long. I quickly learned what to eat, where to shop for food, and how to prepare healthy and quick meals. As these new habits were gradually introduced, I realized I was feeling better and had more energy (which, to a mom of three, seems like a miracle in and of itself!). I craved sugar less and less. Inches were melting away and my clothes were fitting better than they had in years. Kayla was there every step of the way to answer questions and make recommendations. But more importantly, she shared in my success by celebrating each small victory with me. She was just as dedicated to my success as I was — you can’t find that type of support elsewhere. I do have one regret about working with Kayla: I wish I had done it sooner.”
Patti H.
I thought I knew a lot about nutrition and was worried I wouldn’t learn much from this program. Wow, was I wrong! The nutrition plan was surprisingly simple. This program trained me on how much, and what kinds of food I needed to fuel my body correctly. During the 3 months I practiced this by weighing and tracking everything I ate and I learned so much. This is not a quick fix, this program is a lifestyle change that is easy to keep going.
I also thought I would be doing intense workouts to see results. I was surprised how manageable the workouts were. The program taught me the right exercises to do to properly and safely build muscle. I love how it slowly built momentum. I never thought I would be so excited to go out and buy the next size weights because I was stronger and needed bigger weights.
Since finishing the program 2 months ago, I have simply followed the things I learned. I have not been perfect at all and have not gone crazy with exercise and I have kept my weight consistent and have not gained at all. I know how to enjoy and indulge in foods without derailing my progress. I know how to step up my game to lose weight or gain more muscle. I never worry about being perfect, I just try to be consistent and get back on track when I need to. I am so happy I chose to invest in my health and myself.”

“After having my son I was struggling to lose the baby weight & tried a few ‘fad’ diets with no results. I kept seeing Kayla’s workouts and success stories of clients on Instagram and I was majorly inspired! I wanted to make diet changes and lose the weight but I also really wanted to change my lifestyle as well. Once I started the program and got into the modules I realized how wrong I was doing things before I started working with Vin & Kayla! The weekly updates from Vin on my food logs kept me informed & helped me edit things weekly! And Kayla gave me great tips for what to focus on when I worked out at the gym! Without them I wouldn’t be able to be down 11 lbs and still going! I feel like all their tips and guidance really changed my health and all around lifestyle! And I’m so thankful for them!!”
