Work with me

One-on-One Coaching

Imagine it’s just the two of us in the back corner of a restaurant. It’s lunchtime and the hostess has placed the menus on the table as she invites us to have a seat and walk away.

Within seconds our server appears, introduces himself with a smile and fills our glasses with water while rattling off the daily specials. I look at you and I can see that something is wrong.

I ask you if everything is okay and you shrug it off by saying, “everything is fine.”  But I can tell everything is not fine. When our waiter returns, you order a grilled chicken salad with no cheese, no bacon, no croutons and no dressing.

What you haven’t revealed to me is that you weighed yourself this morning. It was prompted by a stubborn pair of pants that wouldn’t slide over your hips. What happened? These pants fit you fine when you wore them a few months ago.

You cried. Your day is ruined. You’re a failure.

This time last year you were 20 pounds lighter. You remember how hard you worked to lose that weight in preparation for your high school reunion. You did it. And others noticed, too. Your partner couldn’t keep their hands off you.

Testimonials

Working with Leslie Hooper was the best investment I’ve ever made for myself.

I never understood how some people were able to pick up a cookie, have two bites, put it down, and walk away. Now I do. I’ve become one of those people, too. Thanks to her program, I have developed the mindset and habits of a “naturally thin”person. I always thought they had a fast metabolism or mine was just getting slower with age, but her program taught me those were self-limiting beliefs that were holding me back. When I learned how to silence my inner critic, I started seeing results.

What I love so much about her program is that it transforms you from the inside-out, so you know the results are permanent. This is the last time I’ll ever lose weight and that feels amazing. Leslie’s compassion combined with her no bullshit attitude was the tough love I needed. She’s honest. She’s direct. But she’s also incredibly encouraging and kind. She’s changed my life forever. My only regret is that I didn’t start sooner.

It felt good to be desired again. Friends, family and co-workers routinely shifted the conversation to questions about your diet and workout routine. It seemed like everyone was singing your praises. But now, now you’re back to square one.

Fear. Guilt. Shame. Self-loathing. Embarrassment.

How could you let this happen again? After all of those vomit-inducing jump squats and burpees first thing in the morning. And the cake! How could you forget how you white-knuckled your way through birthday and wedding parties to avoid another binge.

And what about the numerous times you abandoned your favorite chocolate chip cookie for having thinner thighs. That didn’t happen without grit.

Oh! And the alcohol! We need to talk about the alcohol.

There aren’t enough letters in the alphabet to accurately portray your love for the sweet nectar of wine and its white knighting capabilities. Like a well-timed joke on a blind date, it’s always been the friend you could rely on in an uncomfortable situation. BUT, you endured. Somehow. In the name of losing that double chin, you sacrificed it all.

And now… this. 20 pounds of fleshy pain staring back at you in the mirror. Look at all of that cellulite. And what is that? That wasn’t there before. It’s disgusting. You can’t let anyone see you like this.

Do you see yourself in that hypothetical situation? If so, you’re in good company.

I’ve been that person, too.

That story is mine along with millions of others who are hopelessly stuck in the crazy vortex of yo-yo dieting. It’s maddening, isn’t it? How you can be so successful in every other area of your life, but such a failure in something as simple as eating.

I take it you’ve likely stumbled upon my page because you’re broken and looking for answers.

Well, you’ve come to the right place. Not all is lost. You can put yourself back together piece by piece. However, this time it has to be different. This time it has to be about real change.

If you came here looking for a quick-fix or a way to “blast 20 pounds of fat off your belly in 10 days,” you’ve got the wrong girl. Because I live in reality.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a big believer in living a healthy lifestyle; I have made a 15+ year career out of it after all, but I approach things differently than most fitness professionals.

You see, you’re being lied to by the diet industry. And my moral compass has a problem with that, so I can’t, in good consciousness, continue to perpetuate the scam just to make a few bucks off of some well-intentioned people looking to turn their dream into a reality.

Do you want to know the dirty little secret that the diet industry hopes you’ll never find out?

Diets. Don't. Work.

The diet industry is failing you.

For decades the diet industry has been dumping billions of dollars into an advertising campaign that tells you how you should look and eat using their magic pills, detoxes, and belly wraps. Major influencers found on social media, radio, and TV, are selling you the fantasy of rapid weight loss.

An eye-opening statistic that’s just as true today as when it was first reported back in 1959 when the study was conducted says that 95% of all dieters will regain their weight in under 6 months. And 83% will gain more weight than they lost.

Nowadays, we have even more dieters (approximately 45 million people) and as a result, a growing industry promoting even more weight loss dieting scams.

A few key things to note about diets and why they don’t work:

  • Dieting is stressful on the body. When we’re stressed, we produce cortisol (stress hormone) which signals there’s a threat to the body and slows down the fat burning process.
  • Dieting isn’t a long-term strategy. It won’t be long before we’re confronted with the reality of celebrating a birthday party, joining friends for happy hour, or grabbing ice cream with the kids after a hot day at the swimming pool. Sure we can get away with restricting ourselves for a few weeks, maybe even a month, but it won’t be long before we’re falling back into our old deep-rooted habits.
  • Dieting isn’t fun! What’s the first word that pops into your mind when you hear the word “diet”? For most, it’s deprivation, restriction, bland food, avoiding social situations, anxiety, etc. There is no pleasure! It’s hard. It’s a constant test of willpower and the ability to beat your cravings into submission. Which bring us back to point #1 — it’s stressful! And that makes losing weight difficult.

All of that sucks. Which is why I use a method that’s actually been scientifically proven to work — the only way that works — and it starts with psychological change.

By developing a healthier relationship with food and creating a positive environment, you will be successful. 100% fail proof. No more losing the same 20 pounds over and over again. How could you fail when you’re accountable to a professional with a customized program designed for your body, your food preferences, your lifestyle, and your schedule?

Testimonials

Leslie has given me lifting advice that has significantly helped me to improve my physique. Her exercise selection alone has made a huge difference in my progress in the gym. I like to think of her as the ‘Booty Master.’ She truly has a gift for helping others achieve the best version of themselves!

The gift you gave me — you taught me how to love myself more. You helped me kill the horrible roommate in my head that would treat me like dirt. You taught me to talk to talk to myself with the kindness I show my best friends. You taught me that in loving myself more — I would see change — both mentally and physically. That was a transformative gift I can’t thank you enough for.

Successful people invest in their success.

Have you ever considered why professional athletes hire world-class trainers? Or why the best chefs learn through apprenticeships? Even the most gifted musical prodigies seek out famous music teachers.

Top performers make a point to learn from the best. They don’t waste time trying to “figure it all out” themselves. They put in the time, money, and effort it takes to become successful. They don’t wing it.

I didn’t always understand this.

A decade ago, I was a chronic yo-yo dieter who rolled my eyes at the idea of paying a trainer or a business coach thousands of dollars. I spent tons of time, money, and energy trying to figure this stuff out on my own, but all I did was spin my wheels with no measurable progress to speak of.

I’m stubborn that way. I always felt like with just a little bit more research I’d have all of the answers. It’s amazing how I believed the lies I told myself.

In the end, it left me feeling more frustrated than before. That’s why I still choose to work with a coach today — to have an objective point of view from a professional. Someone to help me achieve my goals so I can spend more time focusing on the things I enjoy.

Your body and mind are your most valuable assets and they are going to require a unique plan. If you want optimal results, then you’re going to have to invest in your success. And that means putting in the time, money, and effort to learn from the best, and then following in their footsteps.

If you’re serious about changing your life in a way that brings happiness, confidence and permanent results, then why wouldn’t you want to learn from someone who’s already done it for thousands of others?

Perhaps Kevin Ngo said it best, “If you don’t take the time to work on creating the life you want, you’re eventually going to be forced to spend a lot of time dealing with a life you don’t want.”

Where do you want to be six months from now? Starting over or enjoying life in your dream body?
