Darcy has helped me not just lose weight but transform my eating habits. I’ve tried several different “diets” and this has been less a diet and more a way to slowly lose weight while also gaining confidence. As a coach Darcy is always available and is not afraid to call you out when needed. He is also an empathetic voice and encourages consistency over large results. The times of doubted myself the most, he knows what to say to stay in the game. My life is forever better for doing this program.

I’ve been doing various diets basically my whole adult life. I would lose weight, sometimes major weight, and put it back on. Originally this was just “another“ diet in my mind when I started. I’ve been doing this for six weeks and found a steady weight loss. Darcy has got me to move and walk every day. The app is very easy to use and encourages you to stay on track. What’s different about this one? The difference is the personal one-on-one daily coaching. The difference is the group chats with a group of guys in this with you. The difference is not doing this on your own. Very early on you will see what makes this different and successful. Now I look forward to the future.

Darcy is an awesome coach. Encouraging, tough love when it’s necessary, but never negative. And the plan is simple. No major life changes right away. Simple things that over time, make big differences. Best decision of my life to do this!!

I became chronically ill 2019 with an autoimmune disease. In 2019 & again in 2021 I was on medication (Prednisone & immuno suppressors) which triggered a weight gain putting me over 350 lbs. I struggled over the past few years to bring my weight down safely without using surgery or more medications. This program changed all that. I am down over 20 lbs. since starting 2 months ago and feel like I am in control for the first time in years. I absolutely recommend this program.

I was hesitant to join Dfitzacademy because I’ve tried so many different things to lose weight. I’m a former football player and I have been over 300 pounds my entire adult life. I’ve always been active working out and thought I was eating right. Darcy and this program showed me that my nutrition was all wrong. In the past 3 months since I've joined the program, I have lost 35 pounds! I’m so glad I pulled the trigger in joining the program! I needed a push in the right direction and Darcy pointed me in that direction. It is well worth it!

I have been over weight for over 10 years and the past 3 years I ballooned to 353 lbs. I was lucky to find Dfitzacademy and start my new life 4 weeks ago. Since then I have lost 29 lbs and I feel so much better and I’m my way to a better healthier life. Thank you Darcy and all the other guys in the academy.

For most of my life, I was never “the big guy.” In my younger and middle-adult years, I was athletic, played a variety of sports, and was healthy. But over the last 20–25 years, life—and “the good life”—gradually caught up with me. I went from having a “dad bod,” to being a little overweight, then chunky, and eventually found myself staring at a number on the scale that was just shy of 300 pounds. Like a lot of people, I tried to fix it on my own. Over the years, I tried different diets and approaches. Two years ago, I even had some success with intermittent fasting and lost a significant amount of weight. But the problem was that I couldn't sustain it. Eventually, the weight came back. Then I stopped getting on the scale altogether. I didn't want to know how bad things had become. Honestly, I had reached a point where I was beginning to accept that I was simply going to be a fat guy who continued getting fatter—and eventually I’d have to deal with whatever consequences came with that. It’s almost hard to admit that I even began to plan for my early passing. I wrote “sorry I’m not here” notes left in the home safe to my wife, my kids and my grandkids. My doctor had already told me that I was prediabetic, but even that hadn't been enough to get me moving. My real wake-up call came when a good friend told me that complications related to diabetes had contributed to her becoming legally blind. Suddenly, her story didn't feel like someone else's problem. It felt like a possible preview of my own future. Not long afterward, I came across a post from Darcy at DFITZ Academy. It was directed specifically at men who were approaching 300 pounds. What immediately caught my attention was how straightforward he was. There were no gimmicks, no promises of overnight transformations, and no crazy restrictions. His approach was about building a realistic, sustainable plan—and helping guys like me actually stick with it. I'll be honest: signing up required commitment. Not just a commitment to change, but a financial commitment as well. I hesitated at first. But then I had to be honest with myself. For nearly 30 years, I had been trying to do this on my own. I knew the basics. I understood that losing weight meant changing my eating habits, becoming more active, and consistently burning more calories than I consumed. The problem wasn't that I lacked access to information. The problem was that, for me, information alone hadn't been enough. Twenty-five years of stepping on and off the scale had proven that trying to be a “lone wolf” wasn't working. So I decided to do something different. What I've found with Darcy is more than just a diet or exercise plan. It's accountability. It's having someone who knows what you're trying to accomplish, pays attention to your progress, encourages you when things are going well, and helps get you back on track when you're struggling. That personal attention has made a real difference for me. I'm not going to tell anyone that this is effortless. It's not. You have to be willing to commit to yourself and put in the work. But if your story sounds anything like mine — if you've spent years trying different diets, losing weight only to gain it back, and repeatedly promising yourself that “this time will be different” — then maybe it's time to consider doing something different. For me, that meant finally admitting that I needed more than another diet. I needed accountability. I needed support. And I needed someone in my corner. That's what I've found with Darcy and DFITZ Academy, and that's why I'm happy to recommend him to anyone who is serious about making a lasting change.
