Aspire Coaching Reviews 37

I started with Aspire Coaching in October 2025 and am about to wrap up my 6 month program. I found Aspire through Instagram. After connecting with a lot of the channel's content, I messaged interest and got to speak with Chenyang, the founder of Aspire Coaching. We discussed my goals and what I was looking to develop in myself and I was put in touch with her team within a week to learn more about what they have to offer.

Through Aspire, I have had the pleasure of working with an amazing coach, Roni, who listened to my specific goals, developed monthly roadmaps with me, tailored a nutritional (caloric/macro) and workout program that fit my preferences and lifestyle, and helped guide me and keep me accountable through bi-weekly check-ins and direct messages. Besides my tailored program, I was able to access guides on various topics (i.e. supplementing, how to eat out mindfully, etc.), recipes for healthier meal ideas, and a chat group with a community of other women on similar journeys with Aspire who support one another on reaching their goals.

Not only have I learned so much from this experience, but I have also found that my mindset and lifestyle has completely changed in the best possible way. I came in with the desire to manage my weight better and be healthier (more energized, stronger, less health issues, etc.). I attempted to do it myself but got stuck with no direction or knowledge of how to get there. I am ending my program feeling way more energized, confident, and strong and have a healthier mindset of what progress looks like. I was never able to form a good lifestyle balance for myself, and now I have a weekly routine that includes things like daily walks, meal planning, workouts, and finding space to prioritize myself among life's many other demands.

I'll end by saying I was hesitant about starting the program at first due to the cost, but I am glad I took this leap as it was ultimately a very important investment in myself at a point in life where I really needed to choose me.

I've been working with Coach Izzy and Aspire Coaching for ~6 months and have extended my coaching plan for another 6 months, so wanted to share my honest thoughts at the halfway mark! I can wholeheartedly say working with Aspire and investing in myself has changed my life and I know these habits and learnings will take me far beyond this program.

I sought out Aspire after a cross-country move and starting a new job, looking for something to ground myself in a time of change and to break of this fitness/strength plateau I'd been in. I was also specifically looking for a coach specializing in running, and was thrilled to be paired with Izzy who is such a strong athlete in this sport. Over the past half year, we've worked together through multiple strength training and run plans, transitioning from meal plans to self-guided tracking, and overall support when it comes to check-ins and progression.

The numerical results speak for themselves - I've lost over 20 lbs. since starting in a way that's never felt restrictive, ran a 5K PR, and hit strength training goals when I'd never even lifted before. But the biggest change for me has been my mindset approaching nutrition and wellness. My past experiences with macros tracking felt restrictive and stressful; Izzy helped transform my mindset into one of learning. I know more about macros and what makes up my food than ever before, and as a result also don't feel "tied" to tracking - I can confidently enjoy meals out and travels with the knowledge I've gained.

You will get out of any training/coaching program the effort you put in, and Aspire is no exception. I'm grateful for the detailed planning and support when I have upcoming races, but also for the flexibility when I'm away on travel. I highly recommend Aspire for any person looking to make a change in their life for the better and wanting to learn how nutrition and wellness can integrate with their life, not control it!

Aspire totally pushes you to be the best version of yourself. There were few hiccups in the start of my journey but Chenyang made sure I got the quality training that I needed. I was coached by the most loving and supportive trainer, Ramona! She was absolutely a great companion in my fitness journey. She was celebrated my wins and cheered me on during tough moments. I would not have attained my goals without her.

Where do I start? I joined Aspire Coaching after a referral from a friend. I had been looking for a nutrition & lifestyle coach to help with weight loss and sustainable eating.

Ramona has been absolutely amazing. I was impressed from the first week (trial). She was super responsive, gave me foods in my meal plan I actually liked eating, took my concerns from past plans in consideration and was there every step of the way. If I didn’t like something or got bored, Ramona would switch it up. The fitness and food goals we set were achievable and fun. The entire program was so structured (there is an entire roadmap and tailored plan for you to tick off and follow). I was genuinely so surprised!

Since working with Coach Ramona, I have lost 4.5kg and still on track to reach my weight loss goal. My meal plan and exercise plan has not been restrictive at all. I can eat out, enjoy life AND don’t have to workout everyday or do intense exercise.

I’ve also had injuries, which we worked together to pivot and work around. When I felt unmotivated or burnt out, coach Ramona was like a therapist and we talked through the main roadblocks.

I thought coaching was not worth it but Aspire Coaching is 100% worth the investment. The positive changes in my life have been phenomenal, including sustained energy throughout the day, feeling great and unconsciously making better choices without thinking about it.

Absolutely recommend coach Ramona and Aspire Coaching!

Sophie was my coach for 8 months. She's the perfect mix of pushing you to be stronger but also gentle and uplifting in her approach. The program sets you up for success by making it completely individualized to your lifestyle. I found it hard to prioritize myself as a mom of three young kids while working 2 jobs. She helped me to structure workout routines with the equipment that I already had at home. She took inventory of my usual meals with my family and helped me to portion control them. She helped me think of ways to make use of my down time. This plan helped set me up for success because everything was already available and accessible. The accountability made all the difference. As the main caretaker of everyone in my life, I just needed someone to tell me what to do. Sophie is the perfect person. I highly recommend. It was the best choice I made for myself and my health.

Working with Coach Ramona has truly changed the trajectory of my life. When I first stepped into the fitness world, I was intimidated—but deep down, I knew I wanted to do this for myself. From day one, Ramona supported and encouraged me, while also holding me accountable to my workouts, my nutrition, and both my short- and long-term goals—including solo traveling and learning how to swim.

Through this journey, I’ve learned that I am capable of so much more than I ever gave myself credit for. That realization alone has transformed my confidence. My self-esteem has skyrocketed. Over the past year under Ramona’s guidance, I’ve grown tremendously—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well.

I am forever grateful that our paths crossed and for the self-growth and empowerment I’ve experienced throughout this journey with her.

I worked with Aspire for a year. I love my coach Sophie so much! She is so positive, supportive, knowledgeable, and such a lovely person. I've never had trouble getting enough exercise or sleep, but I've always had trouble with portion control because I LOVE to eat! I love that the meal plans can be adjusted an unlimited number of times based on what I'm craving. I can schedule a catch up call any time I want, but we mostly communicate via Whatsapp. It also helped me learn more about macros and portion control. I'm actually exercising LESS (and doing fewer workouts I don't like, like running or HIIT), but seeing more results than before I started this program! I love that no food is off limits - I saw the scale go down even though I was still eating pork belly, ice cream, cereal, etc! Based on my DEXA scan, I was able to lose about 10 lbs of fat while on this program, even though I had a lot of weight spikes due to travel. I'm also pretty confident with tracking meals/macros now, and I feel confident moving forward on my health and fitness journey alone!

Working with Coach Roni and the Aspire team has completely changed my lifestyle! I've tried so many different diets. Some would work but the I'd gain it right back! My biggest problem was being "good" during the week and then indulging on the weekends. Once I started working with Roni, she taught me how to still enjoy the foods I love by modifying recipes to be healthier, started with home workouts while she corrected my form, and provided all the encouragement needed for me to meet my weekly goals. After working with Roni for over six months, I'm feeling confident with my workouts, finally putting my gym membership to use (and lifting heavy!), tracking my macros with ease without stressing about what I "should" eat, and getting in at least 10k steps daily even when my life is so hectic! I never would've thought I'd be in this physical and mental space 6 months ago. Looking forward to making more progress. People are noticing the changes including those judgmental Asian aunties LOL! Thanks for helping me get here, Roni!! Highly recommend this investment in yourself.

This was such a journey and transformation period full of self love, self discovery, and starting over. Though reluctant, I told myself I would finally hire a coach and participate in a bodybuilding show. Emilie was my coach, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better, especially for my first show. Endlessly patient, full of grace and charm, and very warm and compassionate with her weekly messages, Emilie helped keep me on track to achieve my goal. I do want to say that I luckily was in the right frame of mind when I started, as strict macros can be very hard to follow when doing a cut, but we made it work together. Went on the retreat with all the coaches and girls, too. Everyone was fantastic. Overall thought this was a great community to have been a part of and I will miss it! But hopefully will see everyone at future retreats!

I’ve been working with Coach Roni for nearly six months and have had a genuinely positive, transformative experience. My health and fitness journey has had its ups and downs, but over the last couple of years I’ve really wanted to push myself to become stronger and healthier. I’m so glad I signed up for Aspire when I did and even more grateful that Roni is my coach.

I worked with her during a really difficult season that included injury and surgery, and she was incredibly supportive throughout. She met me where I was, cheered me on, and helped me stay consistent and confident even during recovery. With her guidance, I’ve learned how to track food, stay accountable to my workouts, lost weight, and feel good in my body again. I’m truly grateful for her support and encouragement.

I entered this program with the expectation that they would give me guidance on my fitness and diet goals and I got so much more than that - it truly changed my lifestyle and how I approach my wellness. Ramona was amazing as my coach; she was incredibly patient and supportive while pushing me to achieve bigger goals. Talking to her about my meals helped me form a healthy relationship with eating since she acknowledged the joy of good food while giving guidance to balance it with a healthy lifestyle. I also got over my anxiety of lifting in a gym slowly because I knew she was supporting me as I learned, and now that's become a normal part of my routine that I look forward to. I am so grateful for the lessons and perspective I've gained from Aspire and know I will carry it for life.

I joined Aspire Coaching about 4–5 months ago, and the results have already far exceeded my expectations. And I’m not even halfway through the program yet.

Let me start with the results so far:
- I’ve lost almost 12 kg in just four months and have reached a healthy weight. Throughout this process I felt strong and energized, unlike other dieting programs where you constantly feel hungry or restricted.
- I’ve started to genuinely enjoy working out, cooking, and even trying on clothes in fitting rooms again.
- My cravings have significantly decreased, and I’m getting much better at managing them.
- I haven’t felt this proud, confident, and comfortable in my own skin in a very long time.

At first, I was quite hesitant to join Aspire Coaching because of the financial investment, but I’m incredibly happy that I took the leap. It has been the best investment I’ve ever made in myself.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the coaching style is focused on creating a sustainable, realistic, healthy, and balanced lifestyle. Especially when it comes to food. I’ve learned that you can still eat everything, enjoy life, and make progress at the same time. And if something doesn’t work for you, that’s okay. Together with your coach, you’ll find alternatives that do. One thing I especially appreciated was receiving detailed feedback on my gym workout form. This made me feel much more confident and safe in the gym. These elements truly set Aspire Coaching apart from other “quick-fix” programs.

I’m extremely grateful that I get to go on this journey with my amazing coach, Ramona. Thanks to her, I’ve finally learned what a healthy lifestyle really looks like and how to apply it in everyday life. Most importantly, I’ve learned how to build a balanced and happy lifestyle that I can maintain for the rest of my life. That’s what makes this coaching program truly worth the investment.

There isn't many fitness programs geared towards Asian women in particular, so seeing Chenyang talk about the unique challenges we face as Asian women being skinny fat, and to quit feeling guilty about enjoying our ethnic cuisines, really resonated with me. I followed her profile on instagram without expecting anything (I was following quite a few fitness influencers) so I was surprised that she actually contacted me.

After a zoom call with her, I felt confident about the program and signed up with Aspire. That was in Jan 2025.

The program is created in a way to set you up for success. You get easy access to your coach, a meal plan and workout routines that is tailored for you.

My coach Sophie is responsive, encouraging and empathetic, so I've never felt judged by her. The meal plans created by Izzy are inspired by Asian flavours so that makes dieting alot easier.

I've achieved my goal of 10kg weight loss by the end of the program. But my biggest win is that my body fat percentage is 21.9%. I've always been in the 30% range even when I was younger. Not bad for a 42 year old desk bound office worker.

I initially joined Aspire to lose weight for my wedding. Not only did I lose the weight, but I gained so much more. I have worked out and tracked my meals for years, but it wasn’t until I joined Aspire where I realized I had a very unhealthy relationship with food. I had the pleasure of having Ramona as my coach who was not only encouraging, but she allowed me to reflect on what truly always held me back from achieving my fitness goals. This program was hard work and required so much of my time and commitment. But it was 100% worth it. I found so much inner peace, growth, and self-love throughout this journey. I couldn’t be any more grateful to have found Ramona.

I never thought that I could reach my goal weight. I am now wearing my old clothes and dresses. Thanks to my coach Ramona who has been there checking me all the time. Watched out I eat and advised me on how to deal with my cravings. I started with Aspire coaching last November 2024. Now, I am still practicing all I learned from them. I am thankful to be part of this team.

I worked with Coach Izzy for two years and it truly turned my life around. I grew up in a Chinese household, where clean plate club was the rule when it came to meal time, so I had no idea how to correctly portion my food and was getting 5lbs heavier every year of my 30s. Through working with Izzy, I not only learned portion sizes and healthy eating, I still got to eat what I wanted, go out with friends, travel and have sweets. In addition to that, my other goal was to get a bigger booty and a flatter stomach. Between the weight loss and then the weight training, I was able to achieve both of those goals. Coach Izzy got me the results I couldn’t get from just watching TikToks and saving YouTube workouts. The Aspire program taught me portion sizes for my body, they held me accountable to my workouts, we came up with custom plans for everything and they were there for me day and night when I thought I couldn’t keep going. I’m a huge advocate of what they do and I’m so grateful I invested in myself.

I’ve had SUCH a supportive and wonderful experience with Chen Yang and her wonderful trainers; mine was Emilie and she is just the best! (Especially since I was a beginner to the gym and weights) I’m so, so grateful to these ladies during a very difficult time in my life and they kept checking in with me in the kindest and gentlest ways while also being supportive of my health and maintaining my workouts! I cannot recommend them enough for us busy women. You won’t regret joining this amazing community. They literally changed my life and outlook on my health. Despite life being, well life, I am so so grateful for what they did to support me in my healthcare and gym journey, for my mind, body and soul. Thank you Emilie & ChenYang!

Before starting Aspire Coaching, i used to do crash diets and hope for the best. I think with the help of Aspire, I’ve learned that this is a real life style change. Working with coach Sophie has been an absolute game changer and I feel like the habits I’ve created under her guidance are gonna be life long. Shout out to everyone in Aspire, and especially Sophie for always being there

I’ve been with Aspire for close to five years now (on and off) which is honestly wild to think about! When I first started, I knew I wanted to start my fitness journey but had no idea how to approach it. I first worked with the amazing Chenyang, and her coaching ended up being so much more than just fitness that I signed up for.

I now work with Izzy, who is so kind, incredibly motivating, and just an amazing coach. She pushes me in a way that feels supportive and sustainable, and is so inspiring. I became stronger and had more stamina, but she also taught me what it means to really show up for myself. Izzy also helped me take the leap to explore running, which I never thought I’d enjoy so much!!

Through coaching, I’ve made real, lasting changes that I know I can carry forward in my life, even when I’m not actively being coached by Izzy. Overall, she has been with me through multiple seasons of my life, especially the ones where I needed accountability the most. incredible mentor and coach, and I couldn’t recommend her more :)🥰

I been trying to lose weight for the past 5 years since having a baby. I have tried many approaches but none are sustainable.

Came across Aspire’s IG posts mid-2025 and started looking at their content and approach. Took me about three months to finally take the plunge and commit to the program. I came to accept that I need experts’ help if I am going to do the right way.

The program is not cheap, but I think it’s priced at the right level and give you the motivation to commit. And truly this is the last program you will need to achieve your fitness goals.

I work with coach Ramona, she is always encouraging and supportive. She’s never judgemental when things went off track. She always make sure I have enough support, thinking through the plan for the week and we come up ways to tackle that. The form checks really help to make sure I am using the right body muscles. 3.5 months in I have lost 7kg and I truly couldn’t have done this without her and Aspire!

Not only I lost weight, I am feeling more confident and healthy. And good knowing that I have set an example for my little one.

If you have tried everything under the sun and are on the fence trying this program, do it. Do it for yourself and not anyone else. This is my biggest achievement of the year and I am glad that it actually worked and I can see it being my lifestyle moving forward (coming from an Asian background)
