P.D. Mangan 1-on-1 CoachingReviews of pdmangancoaching.com

PD Mangan's 1 on 1 coaching program was the best best decision I've done for my health. Between Feb 2023 and July 2023 I dropped from 21% Percentage body fat (PBF) to 9.8%. I have managed to maintain that ratio at around 12% (as of Oct 2024) which I am very happy and comfortable with. I have never felt better. The program doesn't require you to starve yourself and is therefore not hard to follow. You can still enjoy delicious foods and drinks you just need to watch out for the composition of your macronutrients and you HAVE to eliminate junk and heavily processed foods (and I am super grateful PD helped me do so). PD's program is complete from theory to implementation. You will learn how to eat, the foods to absolutely avoid, and how to workout. It requires a mindset and a behavioral change as well as consistency and repetition. This will be Key. PD will push you to be better everyday and he will be available to answer all your questions. It is of course 100% on you to adhere to the philosophy of the program after the coaching is done. I have found my formula and it works for me and I am super grateful for PD's help.

Working with PD was the absolute game changer in my body transformation. Friends have asked what I did to achieve a 50 pound fat loss. I tell them you cannot make a change like this without a plan. PD gave me my easy to follow plan. I will always be grateful for his help.

The best things about P.D.s program: - Personal answers to my situation - Putting the most important things in the center - Cutting through the noise Overall, it helped me to become really serious about my health

I like PD’s course because it’s simple and easy to understand and workable. PD stays in touch And is quick to answer, any problems or questions you may have. I highly recommend this system. I’ve been utilizing it for about 17 months and I’m a believer. And more so would help me achieve my fitness goals

PD Mangan is very client-focused and provides a ton of useful (and timely) information and guidance in navigating health, fitness, and nutrition issues. He is quite attentive to the individual client's needs, taking into account the client's particular circumstances, and makes himself readily available for questions, special guidance, etc. He helped me (and continues to help me) tremendously in transforming my fitness levels and general quality of life associated with them. Strongly recommend.

Regardless of what you know or think you know, working with PD Mangan is life altering for the better. I’m a lifelong casual athlete, now in my 60s, rarely in ‘gym shape’ but usually close enough; but until working with PD, often had that unfortunate last 10 - 15lbs of middle aged regret. I spoke with him 2 years prior to finally signing on, the gap being, “well, I pretty much can do this on my own, I mostly know what I’m doing”. HOWEVER! I called him back, when in 2 years I hadn’t really changed too much on my own. And he again said some pithy insightful things about how to approach training and eating. They were seemingly small, easily integrated ideas and changes to my normal, casual routines. Emphasis on “seemingly” PDs recommendations are the result of his science based research. I kept doing my own routines, but added in his 2x a week 30 minute routines, and those are what made an enormous difference. By making small changes to how I used weights, fat started coming off, and muscle packing on; I literally had to get new clothing because my chest and shoulders are bigger. And it’s not just “gym show” — I have a very physical job in construction, and suddenly I’m hoisting a lot more over my shoulder and easily moving uphill with it, or up ladders, whereas before, it was efforted, and I figured, ‘well that’s just getting older’. Nope. After awhile, I dropped a lot of the gym stuff i HAD been doing, dropped the time spent exercising, and I’m much stronger than I had been before. Also, I feel much more protected around my joints, stance, and posture, and these things are measurable. Same thing with “how to eat” / “what to eat” — a few small changes to what I was doing — combined with the exercise piece — and I could feel my always ongoing hunger drop; for the first time in years I didn’t feel hungry all the time. With both exercising and eating, nothing radical, like diets we’ve all tried, or hard crossfit type gym attacks, neither of which ever worked for me — instead, just some calm insightful tactics, which overall led to enormous differences. And also for my other family members…they went along with what I was doing, and they too benefitted (they were free riders on my paid program) PD has clearly used his science training and personal experience / trial and error — to figure out practical attainable parameters and techniques for quickly resetting people back to the physical baseline of their early 20s. Another piece of his calm, warm, and simple approach: “Accountability”. I’m fairly self motivated (perhaps a theme of this is that i THINK i am, but i’m not? perhaps you’re the same?); but just his conversation around ‘do you need to check in with me about being accountable’, added some accountability; not that it was stressful / high stakes ‘coaching’, but just knowing I had support and backup for questions, was useful. I was a little dubious about a few things, he gave me the over/under on them, I tried them, he was right every time, and it was great to have his support to check in. His system of checking in, of personal training as needed, of clear video examples, of being in touch whenever needed — it’s a testament to having a direct approach, of being clear, concise, to the point, nothing extraneous. It is the best money I have spent on health, and I only wish I had done it sooner. Yes, it’s nice to have the outside affirmation, “you look 20 years younger” “you look like a movie star” etc (i’m not exaggerating here), but real gratification is feeling as strong as I did 35 years ago, running upstairs easily, carrying heavy things, etc etc. Again: completely worth the cost, it would be worth it at twice the rate; I would gladly forego a lot of other things in order to sign on to PD’s system

PD really changed my life and helped me achieve certain objectives regarding overall health and fitness that I particularly thought it was impossible to do it. I’m very grateful.

I had seen PD making incredibly insightful and powerful scientific commentary about health nutrition and the seemingly confusing state of scientific information on Twitter (now X) and was drawn to his clear thinking. His ability to simplify complex information was pretty powerful and I had seen what great shape he was in at 69 so I was encouraged to get in touch with him about his training. I was also at 53 and very overweight starting to worry a lot about the possibility of age-related diseases and how I could possibly avoid them. I'm glad I reached out to him. His training and coaching helped put my mind at ease about how to have a strong health foundation through diet and exercise and how to start lifting weights intelligently for my age to avoid an unnecessary risk of injury. He gave me a very simple and easy lifting routine of 2 times a week at 25 minutes a session which I've been doing faithfully for over a year now. He also gave me a diet that I could easily do that could control my cravings. I've grown muscle, lost nearly 40 pounds and I no longer worry about my overall health risks. I feel better and sleep better and that's made a huge difference in my life. I have a high degree of confidence I can maintain a healthy life well into my old age now and have stopped worrying about my disease risk profile. PD is a great guy, very knowledgeable, and has proven to be an indispensable friend in my long road to restored health. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
