Darcy’s been wonderful, keeping me accountable, lending me advice when asked and checking in every day. He’s helped me to tweak my lifestyle in just the right way to allow me to begin a steady downward trend in my weight that I haven’t seen in years. The best way to make the best of your experience with Dfitz Academy is to follow his advice and guidance and find ways of your own to augment your progress without overexerting yourself.

A no bs approach to a real life…
A no bs approach to a real lifestyle change. If your looking for a change and want to be true to yourself. Give Darcy a try.
This isnt a fad diet or a crossfitter that pushes something that really isnt realistic for men over 300lbs. Its a no BS system that just works. Darcy and the community are always there for you for support or ideas on anything your struggling about.
Some people complain that it isn't cheap, which it isn't. But its cheaper than a hospital stay or a life on medication for all sorts of weight related illness.
If your tired of always putting everyone else ahead of yourself and want to do something for yourself and for your family, dont think twice about going this program. You will not regret it.

110 lbs down, and I’ve kept it off
I was hesitant to book a time at first, but looking back, that one-hour phone call genuinely changed my life. I decided to join the program, and with the support, structure and accountability from the team, I went on to lose 110 lbs and now still keeping it off
What made the program different was that it didn’t just help me lose the weight, it taught me how to keep it off. I learned how to make better decisions around food, build routines that fit my life and recover from an imperfect day without completely falling off track.
Even after finishing the program, I’ve continued using everything I learned and have been able to sustain my results. It never felt like another extreme diet or temporary fix.. Darcy gave me the knowledge, habits and confidence to manage my weight independently for the long term. Booking that first call was easily one of the best decisions I’ve made.

As good as advertised
I’ve been a client for approximately three weeks. Darcy has delivered on everything that he promised. Always available, consistently checking in to make sure that things are going well. The plan, the app, the one on one, the group function, all have been helpful in getting me to a point of setting good habits that will last far beyond my time with the program. Well worth the money.

Getting my life on track at 58
For me, it’s all about the accountability factor. I love the app because it allows me to plan out my calories before I go out so that I don’t get off track. I first saw Darcy’s Facebook advertisement, it was literally as if he was staring into my soul. I was absolutely every single thing that he mentioned about being over 300 pounds and just how miserable I felt all of the time about it.
If I’m being perfectly honest, the initial investment had me concerned, but I’m so glad that I took the leap of faith in moving forward. I’ve only been on the program for about 2 1/2 weeks and I’m already down 22 pounds.
The most amazing part of it all is that I’m eating under 2000 cal and yet I don’t have cravings or the afternoon insulin spikes and crashes and my energy level is absolutely through the roof. The only activity that I really do right now is that I get out and walk most days. I try to do no less than 4,000 to 5,000 steps, but there are several days when I have the time to do it, I will walk 4 miles at a time and put in approximately 8,500 to 10,000 thousand steps or so on those days.
Hands down, I would recommend this program to anybody who is serious about wanting to get their weight under control and more importantly, their life under control. I really enjoy that Darcy checks in on me almost every day. I’m the type of personality that I never want to let anyone down and especially myself. Having that extra support really means a lot!
Thanks Darcy for everything you do, this program is a game changer for me.

Darcy and his academy is the real deal
Darcy and his academy is a real experience with a real coach guiding you everyday. Keeping you motivated, Darcy has been such a blessing in my life. I have last 15 already in a month and it keeps going down. He is also very communicative, supportive and offers the best motivation. I can’t thank him enough and I can’t wait for more.

Life changing
The only way this program works is if your honest with yourself and you've made the choice to make a change in your life. With that being said this program taught me everything I needed to know to be successful and it was worth it. I have more energy to do the things I stopped doing. Less pain from the excessive weight I was caring around. I was unsure about joining the program in the beginning but extremely glad I did. Also if you start to struggle and doubt yourself the community along with Darcy help you stay on track. So if you're ready to make that change you should definitely follow through I didn't regret it one bit

Darcy has an amazing program
Darcy has an amazing program. 9 months in currently. I’m loosing weight and still eating fast food. He starts with where you are and builds onto the program to make every new “challenge” easier to accomplish while still reaching new milestones. The community is also amazing. Guys like you fighting the same fight to better ourselves. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is interested or on the fence. Working with Darcy has been so easy and he’s always there to support you and help you.
