Sustainable weight loss, not another crash diet
If you have tried to lose weight before, the problem probably was not effort. It was a plan that did not fit your body or your life. Extreme diets and endless cardio can move the scale for a few weeks, but they rarely last — and they often cost you muscle along the way.
At ENVYS, weight loss coaching is built on three things that work together: strength training that protects your muscle, metabolic conditioning that builds your fitness, and nutrition coaching you can actually follow. The goal is to lose fat, keep it off, and feel better doing it.
What your weight loss program includes
- Free 1-hour trial and assessment — your goals, history, lifestyle and a movement screen
- 1-on-1 coaching with Lashawn, by appointment in downtown Santa Monica
- A custom training plan built around your schedule and starting point
- Nutrition coaching from a Precision Nutrition (PN1) certified coach
- Progress tracking so you can see what is changing, not just what the scale says
- Ongoing program updates so you keep progressing instead of plateauing
Why strength training matters for fat loss
When you eat less, your body can lose muscle along with fat. Resistance training gives it a reason to hold on to that muscle, so more of the weight you lose comes from fat. It also means you look firmer and more athletic as you get leaner — not just smaller.
Your sessions combine barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, TRX and bodyweight movements, often in a circuit style that keeps your heart rate up while you build strength. Every exercise is coached, so you train hard and safely.
Nutrition you can live with
There is no single "right" diet. Lashawn uses habit-based coaching to build an eating approach around the foods you enjoy and the life you actually live — work dinners, weekends and all. Small, consistent changes add up, and they stick.
Who it is for
Weight loss training at ENVYS is for anyone ready to commit — whether you are starting from scratch, getting back on track after time off, or tired of losing and regaining the same weight. Clients train with us from across Santa Monica, Brentwood, Venice and the wider Westside.

Frequently asked questions
How fast will I lose weight?
It varies from person to person. A steady, sustainable rate for most people is roughly 0.5–1% of body weight per week. Faster is not always better — steady loss is much easier to keep off.
Do I have to follow a strict diet?
No. We use flexible, habit-based nutrition coaching built around foods you enjoy. The best plan is the one you can stick to.
Do I need to do lots of cardio?
Not necessarily. Strength training and conditioning in your sessions, plus daily movement like walking, are usually more effective — and more enjoyable — than hours on a treadmill.
