Experience Higher Purpose Coaching: A Visual Journey to Wellness

  "I wanted to lead a healthier lifestyle, and I knew it was up to me. I needed to do the work. I needed to have the willpower. I needed to motivate myself. I needed to have the patience. I needed to be consistent. 

Losing weight is not easy by any means. It is damn hard. 

I needed someone in my corner to help guide me on this journey. 

For me, this was Higher Purpose Coaching, Coach Holly Pelzer.

I feel a coach needs to be caring, honest, supportive, available, easy to talk with, hold me accountable, and know their stuff. 

Holly fit that criterion and was the best fit for me. "

"I began my fitness/nutrition journey out of necessity but have continued it due to the success I'm having. I am achieving the results I want long term for the first time. 

With Higher Purpose Coaching I am in a program where I can get sustainable results with the freedom and the flexibility, I need to be able to enjoy the things I've always enjoyed. 

The program is logical, easy to understand, and easy to follow. It just makes sense! 

With Coach Holly guiding me I have finally lost the extra 20 lbs. that just wouldn't come off and I don't feel hungry all the time either. 

I believe that committing to the Higher Purpose Coaching method has been a great addition to my healthy lifestyle."

 "I wasn't making progress. Enter Holly. 

I’ve known her from the gym for a few years and trusted her to get me where I wanted to be.  

 Right out of the gate she tells me I have to weigh food, I have to track food, and I have to weigh myself daily. (*Gulp* all triggers for me).  

After some pep talks and encouragement, I started working with Coach Holly.

Right away it seemed easy to me, it gave me direction. In a week I saw progress; more progress than I saw my first 4 months post-partum and then I trusted it.  

Now Here I am, 9 months postpartum and heading into 5 months of working with Holly and I’m down 20lbs and seeing my muscles and lifting ability come back, making me feel like a badass again. "

 "I could have not asked for a better person to keep me accountable throughout the program than Holly. 

She has pushed me to levels I never would have got to by myself. From diet, workouts, to just asking me about my everyday life. 

The program keeps you accountable with workouts and food intake. Just seeing the results is AMAZING! Your goals are all written out and adjustable as you go along. 

My biggest take away from Higher Purpose is you are so much stronger than you think you are mentally and physically. I was pushed every day to be MY BEST.

 I am stronger, have a better diet plan, and I love that Higher Purpose focused on me and my one-on-one needs!"

"I started with Holly in September to dial in my nutrition. I knew I needed to be held accountable for me to progress in my fitness journey. 

Holly has made it easy for me to trust the process. She would keep me informed on any macro changes AND would explain the "why" behind it. 

Holly is truly one of a kind and her passion for what she does shines through day in and day out. She is knowledgeable and continues to educate herself to provide great 1-on-1 coaching to assist people with their goals. 

I've had nothing but a positive experience and I am extremely happy with my decision to have HPC coach me in nutrition and personal training. I would highly recommend HPC for coaching!"

"The most helpful part of working with you as my coach was being held accountable in a very safe, non-judgmental, and caring way. 

It was not the regimented, "You MUST do this to succeed, or you will FAIL."

I liked your guidance with food and the constant reminders that good things do happen when you follow the program. 

Since working with Higher Purpose Coaching, I am back to my goal weight, and I now know how to maintain it. I feel stronger and much better with increased protein and close to 100oz of water most days. 

You are authentic, and a great listener. I know you really care about the people you coach, and that is why you are so successful."

"I can't recommend Higher Purpose Coaching strongly enough! It is no exaggeration to say HPC and working with Coach Holly has been life changing. 

The nutrition program is exactly what I needed. After years of fad diets, insane restrictive diets, etc.. I have finally found something that works for me. Using this program it is no longer "I can't wait until I hit that number so I can stop!" 

This is sustainable, no eating like pre-historic squirrel or whatever is out there. No supplements. No up-sales. No 30 days to a better you BS. A solid plan, the best support, and a sustainable approach. 

Down 70+ pounds, climbing mountains, hiking, kayaking, living life and I thank the work with HPC for that."

"I’ve struggled with being overweight my entire life. I’ve tried all the diets on my own, from the low-carb diet to the free macro calculator phone app. I’ve experienced limited success and a lot

of failures. I’ve long recognized that I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food, and I’ve always wanted to change that, but still, I’ve approached every diet as a temporary change, knowing I’ll eventually just go back to my old (unhealthy) way of eating. 

There was something very different though, about this process. First, meeting with a coach changed everything. Having some weekly accountability with Holly provided much-needed motivation to commit to this every day. As I began to see results in my behavior and in my body composition Holly earned my trust. I began to believe in the process. Second, the entire macro concept proved to be a game-changer for me. I’m now learning to approach food as fuel instead of entertainment. Now, I eat what I need to get where I want to go. This has radically changed my body (losing fat and gaining muscle) and my performance in the gym, which is the reason I wanted to meet with Coach Holly in the first place.

I’m a physician. I’ve known for a long time what I should eat. My problem wasn’t a knowledge problem. It was a behavioral problem. Working with Coach Holly helped me commit to behavioral change, and that has radically changed my life for the better. 

Thanks Coach Holly!"

"When I say Holly knows her stuff, she knows her stuff and so much more. After 4 weeks I needed to know what

was next because I didn’t want to stop, and I wanted to keep going. So, we extended our time together and I am happy to say we are at a year, and I am not finished. I have more goals and

more progress to make, and I know that Holly will always be cheering me on.

Not only did I change my nutrition, but I also changed my workouts and my mindset. I stepped away from my group fitness classes because I was finding myself comparing myself and my

progress to everyone around me. I am happy to say I am now working out at home, going back to my first love of lifting weights. Each week being able to push myself a little bit more. None

of that was helping me or my progress. I feel good in my own body, and I no longer am comparing myself to anyone around me. Because truth be told, no one is like me and no one else has been on my journey throughout my life.

If you are looking for someone to meet you exactly where you are at and guide, you to where you want to be HPC and Holly are your answer. 

Trust the process and put in the work and you will get results. Anything that is worth doing is going to be work, but you are worth it."

"I signed up with HPC about a year ago around the holiday season as I knew I wanted some help creating better habits. I did not know really anything on macros, and Holly has taught me so much on nutrition and fitness.

I have been able to lose 25+ pounds so far, gain strength, and the knowledge to maintain my progress which has always been a struggle in the past. Our weekly check-ins are motivational and focus on averages versus one off day. I never really realized how important hydration, fiber intake, and the amount of macro intake affect my goals until working with Holly. She is terrific coach, down to earth, inspiring, and provides a great balance of accountability, humor, and support. She remembers what I'm lifting in the gym and pushes me in my strength goals.

 I have gone through one fat loss phase and maintenance phase and about to start my second fat loss phase.

 This process has not only helped me lose weight and keep most of it off, but I've learned so many great habits and the why behind them. 

My mental health and anxiety have improved quite a bit as well as sleep. My accomplishments with HPC help me to be a better parent, partner, nurse, and friend with more energy to do the things I want to do and keep up with life. Thanks HPC!! I highly recommend anyone even curious about this to reach out to Holly!!" 

"I completed a 12 week nutrition program with Coach Holly at HPC and it was exactly what I needed to accomplish my nutrition goals. I lost weight and inches but also gained nutrition knowledge for a lifetime! Holly set up all the components necessary for me to build discipline & consistency on a daily basis, set macros to get results, meet goals related to sleep, water, movement, and find success in my health and fitness journey! 

Holly gave me all the knowledge I needed to put a clear and consistent plan in action. She created a nutrition plan specifically tailored to me and the best part is it was 100% attainable! She set me up for success every week. The one-on-one coaching, weekly videos, fast feedback, nutrition knowledge, and online documents worked to my advantage because I focused on them when it was convenient for me.

If you are looking for a guaranteed opportunity for success then look no further. Holly is 100% without a doubt the trainer that will get you to where you want to be. With this being said, you will also need to be all in, invest the time, work hard EVERY single day, follow your specific plan, prioritize food planning and prepping, and most importantly believe in yourself! 

Holly makes a connection with you right from the start, she listens, she supports, she motivates, she challenges, she celebrates, she encourages, she understands, she is experienced and she is knowledgeable! Holly is an outstanding human that puts her heart into her work!"

"When I started with HPC, 730 days ago, I didn’t really know what I was going to get from it. I knew I would get personalized coaching and some tools to help me. I hoped to lose weight because that is what society has ALWAYS told me needs to be done. I hoped to lose inches because then maybe I would feel like I was the “right size” based on societal expectations. I hoped to lose self-doubt and the self-conscious feelings related to weight and size.  I hoped that maybe this time, my "diet" would work.

I will tell you, I did lose all of those things but what I gained was SO MUCH MORE! I have always disliked the term “transformation” when you see before and after pictures online. I hate how even when working to improve your health, society expects you to transform from the “fat” person you were into the “skinny” person you are now. I prefer to think of it, not as a transformation, but as an advancement. I am no longer the same person I was merely 730 days ago, but I was not transformed into the person I am now by some magical creature. I worked HARD and put effort in DAILY on everything involved in the process. 

 I was able to achieve the scale goal fairly quickly (much faster than I ever expected in fact), but the REAL WORK started after that point. I needed to learn how to be this person. Given societal expectations, I always had a goal weight based on what I was told I should be. Once I was there, I realized, it is really just a number and has NO BEARING on how I felt as a woman. I still didn’t feel “skinny”, I still had self-doubt, I was still self-conscious about my body, I still lacked the confidence to really talk about what I was doing to lose weight. I knew in that moment, I had to work on myself emotionally and mentally as this doesn’t follow suit hand in hand with weight loss. There isn’t a magical number that makes you feel a certain way, it is YOU and society, who makes you feel a certain way."
