Struggle with Weight Gain

Courtney M.

4 years. 6 lbs of muscle. A 40 lb deadlift PR. And a goal weight she once struggled to reach.


When Courtney started at SoChac, she had very little muscle and had always struggled to gain weight.


At first, she just started consistently attending classes. Then, slowly, she started changing her life outside the gym, too:


• Consistent sleep

• Cooking more at home

• Eating mostly whole foods

• Less ultra-processed food

• Consistent training


Four years later:

๐Ÿ’ช +6 lbs of muscle

๐Ÿ‹๏ธ +40 lb deadlift PR

๐ŸŽฏ Goal weight achieved


The biggest win? Courtney didn’t just change her body. She changed her habits and built a healthier lifestyle she can sustain.


This is what long-term progress looks like. Not perfection. Just small changes, consistently made.
