I was excited to start my weight loss adventure as it has been almost 2 years since I have been here. They took my blood pressure and it was reading 157/93. I was completed shocked! Did not believe it. I have always had normal bp and just had a physical this past November and my bp was normal. The staff used a wrist monitor on my right wrist and told me to hold it up to my heart. This was very new to me. Did not seem right and that is very different from every time I have ever had my bp read. I ended up having to speak to the practitioner over the phone as they asked questions because they were hesitant to prescribe anything which I can understand due to that high reading. Needless to say, I was completely freaked out after my visit and went to my normal doctor. He checked my bp and it was normal. Not sure what I think after this and if I want to return based on my experience. They staff was friendly and I ended up getting the medication.

I had only ONE appointment with "doctor" Saw Sein in the Concord location on September 4, 2025,…read morethere was no bloodwork or testing of any kind done. I had requested referrals for dermatology, pain control and neurology. A referral was sent and approved for dermatology, however it had wrong information on it and the dermatology office had been trying to get in contact with them for 2 weeks with no response! On the day of my dermatology appointment I was informed that I would have to pay cash for the appointment unless there was a corrected referral (now mind you I've had severe all over body itching for going on two years so every delay is horrible for me!), I call "doctor" Sein's office and the staff told me they already sent the corrected referral (ABSOLUTE LIE!) as I had just gotten off the phone with the dermatology office. I didn't find out until over two months later that "doctor" Sein told my insurance that I had diabetes. I have NEVER in my life been diagnosed with diabetes! I wrote an email telling of her incompetence and that her staff were liars and that I was not going back there. "Doctor" Sein sent me a letter that she will no longer be my PCP and that I was unprofessional. VERY laughable as I had long since gone to a new PCP and I wouldn't go back to her if my very life depended upon it! Her calling me unprofessional HA! as a doctor she should know how to diagnose diabetes. All around horrible experience, avoid Jiva Health at all costs as your life might depend on their "care" and good luck getting it!

If you're looking for someone skilled who truly cares about his clients and their results, I highly recommend seeing him at Vanish RX Wellness.

I was genuinely excited to start this program. After investing in countless coaches and courses, I…read morewas ready to finally put an end to all the second-guessing and commit to a plan tailored specifically for me. I enrolled in the self-paced program after doing my research and seeing overwhelmingly positive reviews. In hindsight, not meeting anyone on video beforehand and relying solely on text communication was a mistake on my part. After taking the initial quiz, I guessed my body type and was assigned a coach who shared that same type. I followed the program precisely for six weeks and saw no results after the first week. Only then did I learn I'd been placed in the wrong program for the wrong body type. I was reassigned to one of the founders, who reviewed my case and matched my correct type. Another 2-3 weeks went by with zero progress, even after overhauling my routines yet again. I even paid extra for their Tier 2 service, with no changes or signs of improvement. I did everything that was asked of me: 15,000 steps a day, consistent powerlifting, hydration, structure, and discipline, yet nothing changed. Instead, my lack of progress was attributed to mindset, quantum physics, and somatic blocks. I'm trained in trauma-informed care and have spent years doing deep somatic and therapeutic work. I fully understand the mind-body connection. But when a program cannot deliver results, shifting the responsibility back onto the client feels dismissive and unfair. Ultimately, it felt like the blame was placed on me when my coach no longer knew how to support my case which is exactly why I hired them in the first place. While I appreciate receiving a $750 refund for the Tier 2 upgrade, I am still left having spent $1,500 on a self-paced program that did not work for me. This is simply my experience. Be thoughtful, do your research, and I truly hope your results are better than mine.

Before working with them I used to question and try every diet, fad, and workout program. I was…read morebasically trying to piece meal my way through ALL the conflicting info out on the internet and Instagram, and was so frustrated with my lack of consistent progress, even though I used to work so hard to try to eat right and workout every day to try and make my body composition and strength goals. Now, I have full clarity and confidence to know what to eat, when, and how much eat and workout to accomplish my body and athletic goals- in any and every circumstance!!! I did all of this all while traveling the world. That peace of mind, confidence, and increased self love I now have for myself is freaking invaluable. And I credit all of that to me working with Green Door Life. I lost fat, gained muscle, toned and built my overall body, and even lost cellulite- I didn't even know that was freaking possible, since I've worked to lose my cellulite for the last 15 years!! And, I did all of this while traveling through 8 different countries and living nomadically full time. I've completed the 12 week nutrition group program and some 1:1 coaching, I'm not trying to overstate this in anyway - it has literally changed my life. This isn't a quick fix or some fad, their courses and coaching is revolutionary to your whole life moving forward. The coaching around food and nutrition is expansive not restrictive. They give you the fundamental deep knowledge and psychological support needed in order to make any situation, any country, and basically any restaurant or food navigable for your goals. What I love about their coaching style is they make you self sufficient and empowered. There is no ongoing sales cycle and unlike other coaching programs, they don't make you feel you need them to keep your gains. I have a completely different and loving relationship to my body, the way I view and eat food is informed and fun, and my daily behaviors and internal throughs are so different and aligned for who I am becoming more of each day, and who I want to be, than how I was when I started the program. I highly recommend working with Green Door Life through their different courses and coaching. I am going to do their upcoming Awaken your Cycles and Strength courses as well, because the amount of value and life changing outcomes I get from them and their courses is literally worth 10x the amount they are priced.

Then this is the place for you. A little over three months ago I walked into Transform FX for my first class. I was incredibly out of shape and was really seeking to get back into being physically active regularly for the first time in 6+ years. Coach Felicia was incredibly welcoming and supportive from day 1. I remember during my trial period I mentioned to her - I want to join but I'm concerned I won't be able to stick with it. She said "you're already showing up - you've been showing up all week"... that gave me the confidence to join a 6 week challenge which totally changed my life. For the first time in over a decade I consistently workout 4-6 times per week. The community, coaching, positive energy and overall vibes are what keep me coming back. This is now a habit. I am 40 years old and I am mentally and physically stronger than I was 10 years ago. To say this place has changed my life is an understatement. I am so thankful for the entire TFX community. I have found my happy place!

I had signed up with the gym for 6 months but I quickly fell off the wagon and ended up gaining it all back plus some. My head was not in the right space. I made lots of excuses as to why I shouldn't or "couldn't" go. As my 40th birthday approached a year later I decided to do it again. This time losing a little over 17lbs and I had a shift in my headspace. I was ready for the commitment to myself and I signed up for another 6 months at the gym. I had to find what worked for me. The first challenge I was going to the gym after work which was horrible. It's hot, i'm already tired.. So this time around I switched to mornings! Class started at 5:45am (5:00am now!!) I get my workout done and I am a happy camper. The workouts are great! They really push you but there are modifications given if you need them. Also, time flies in the gym. These workouts are fast paced and get your heart racing. It's a good combo of cardio and weights. The coaches are great, Ale' , Felicia, Gaby and Ashley- they have formed a great supportive community where I am making new friendships and feel like I belong. I used to hate going to the gym.. now I look forward to it!
