What Our Clients Say
Leah H.
Throughout my 10-year journey in the bodybuilding world, I’ve had the opportunity to work with several esteemed coaches. However, as an amateur athlete, I struggled to fully benefit from their guidance. I was often placed on cookie-cutter bodybuilding prep programs that failed to consider my individual health needs, ultimately leading to the development of autoimmune issues, severe gastrointestinal distress, and other long-term health complications.
After connecting with Renee, everything changed. We instantly clicked, and I was drawn to the positive impact she clearly had on others, as showcased through her fitness transformation content and educational posts on social media.
Renee began by creating custom bodybuilding training plans tailored to improve my lagging muscle groups. In January, we shifted our focus to restoring my overall health. We recently completed a two-week flush and entered a structured diet phase. In just three weeks, I’ve lost over 13 pounds, thanks to reduced inflammation and significantly improved gut health.
One of the most impactful changes has been Renee helping me eliminate unnecessary acid medications. Instead, she introduced natural, functional solutions to address my low stomach acid, something no previous coach had ever identified.
What sets Renee apart in the world of competitive bodybuilding coaching is her unmatched ability to listen, truly care, and strike the perfect balance between being fair and firm. Her top priority is my long-term wellness, not just short-term physique goals. Every part of my protocol is personalized, there’s nothing generic about her approach.
With Renee, I feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. She’s not only invested in my progress, she’s committed to our shared success, both on and off the stage.

I’ve always struggled with my weight. I used to call myself the “human yo-yo.” I tried every method out there to lose weight, and while some worked temporarily, the results were always short-lived.
In January of 2024, I hit rock bottom and knew I needed real help. That’s when I reached out to Renee at TRIO Coaching, and it changed everything.
Renee created a personalized macro-based nutrition plan and a custom workout routine tailored to my goals and lifestyle. But more than that, she taught me what food really is: fuel for my body, not the enemy. I learned how to properly nourish myself, and that excessive cardio isn’t the answer. It was weight training that truly began to transform my body.
I used to dread the scale, but Renee helped me understand that it’s just one of many tools in the journey. When I hit a plateau, she didn’t brush it off, she jumped in and guided me through it. After getting a blood panel done, we discovered I have Adrenal PCOS, which was contributing to my challenges. Renee immediately adapted my plan and added a supplement regimen to address the root issues, and it’s been working.
So far, I’ve lost over 60 pounds, and my life has completely changed for the better. Renee is not just a coach, she’s a partner. She truly cares about her clients and treats your journey as if it were her own. I’ve felt supported and guided through every step of my transformation.
Her functional approach to women’s health, including hormone balance, PCOS management, and sustainable weight loss coaching, has empowered me to take control of my body and mindset. Because of her, I feel inspired to share this lifestyle with others and help them experience the same kind of freedom.

Renee was referred to me by a co-worker during a conversation about my friend’s recent weight loss transformation. My friend had been working out every day, but her eating habits were off, and she had gained a lot of weight over the years. She told me, “This plan is so easy, you actually eat more food than I ever used to!” That immediately caught my attention. I thought, That’s the plan for me.
I reached out to Renee and shared my story, how my weight has fluctuated throughout my life. She was so optimistic and reassuring, telling me that she could definitely help and that I would actually enjoy the program. And she was right!
Over the last seven months, I’ve learned more about healthy eating habits than I ever have before. I eat a lot of food, and most of the time I feel completely satisfied. What I really love is that the program is flexible, I can still enjoy some of the foods I thought would be completely off-limits, which has made this lifestyle sustainable.
Renee holds me accountable (always in the kindest way) and constantly teaches me something new. We talk through the tough days, share recipes, and she takes the time to explain how my body is working. I’m 64 years old, and I’m not as physically active as I, or Renee, would like, but she gently encourages me to push outside of my comfort zone and do what I can do.
Thanks to Renee’s coaching, nutrition guidance, and all the education she provides, I now feel more in control of my eating and overall well-being. This isn’t just another diet, it’s a sustainable lifestyle change.
I give Renee a 10 out of 10! If you’re looking for weight loss support after 60, or a program that meets you where you are with realistic, healthy habits, she’s the coach for you.
Cameron
Hey, my name is Cameron, and for years (between the ages of 15 and 21) I silently struggled with persistent stomach pain, skin issues, and low energy. I never fully understood the severity of these symptoms or the impact they were having on my overall health, both physically and mentally.
In 2024, I reached a turning point. I knew I needed help and wanted to finally feel better. That’s when I turned to Renee, whose deep understanding of functional nutrition and gut health made her the ideal coach for my situation.
Renee immediately recommended that I complete a GI-MAP stool test and a comprehensive blood panel to identify the root causes of my health issues. Through these tests, we discovered I had H. Pylori, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), dysbiosis, and leaky gut, which was behind my chronic fatigue, daily nausea, and frequent abdominal pain. We also found out that I had multiple food sensitivities, including reactions to certain dyes, spices, and common ingredients.
Once Renee pinpointed the issues, she developed a targeted gut healing protocol just for me. She spent time researching, customizing, and building a supplement plan that addressed my specific needs. For 10 weeks, I followed a strict regimen: over 40 natural supplements, multiple powdered drinks, daily aloe vera juice, and a carefully crafted elimination diet designed to calm my gut and support healing.
When I first saw the plan, I wasn’t sure I could stick with it, especially as a full-time college student. But with Renee’s support and motivation, I stayed disciplined, and it paid off.
Within weeks, I experienced real results: fewer stomach aches, better digestion, more energy, clearer skin, and, for the first time in years, I felt like myself again. The protocol not only helped restore my physical health, but it also contributed to my personal growth. I now have healthier eating habits, better food awareness, and a more mindful approach to how I fuel my body.
Even when I slip up, I don’t feel lost. I’ve learned how to course-correct and stay on track. Renee’s expert guidance in functional health coaching, especially with complex issuei and food sensitivities, gave me the knowledge and tools to keep improving, and even help others.
Thank you, Renee. You’re a truly one-of-a-kind coach who genuinely cares about your clients and walks with them every step of the way.
Misty T.
I’ve been working with Renee Schneider for a half year now, and her nutrition and fitness coaching style is truly unlike anyone I’ve ever encountered. Her passion for health, wellness, and functional fitness is evident in every interaction, she’s deeply committed to her clients’ success, and it shows.
What sets Renee apart from other online health coaches is that she doesn’t just hand you a plan and leave you to figure it out. She takes the time to educate you on the “why” behind your personalized nutrition and training strategies, empowering you to make sustainable lifestyle changes. That knowledge has made all the difference for me.
She’s also incredibly responsive whenever I have questions, which makes me feel fully supported. I’m beyond grateful to have her in my corner, and I’m genuinely excited about this new, healthier way of living life.
Nikki
I’ve lost count of how many weight loss programs I’ve tried throughout my life. And yes, with each one, I saw some success, but there was always something missing. That “something” was a true, individualized focus on me.
My health history, my body, my goals, my concerns, they’re not like everyone else’s. Sure, we might share similarities, but no one else is me. And that’s exactly the difference I experienced when I chose to team up with Renee at TRIO Coaching.
Renee’s personalized coaching program is anything but one-size-fits-all. She makes sure of it. From day one, she took the time to truly understand who I am, what I wanted to accomplish, what I struggled with, and what mattered most to me.
She built a customized workout routine based on my available time, my equipment at home, my fitness level, and my goals. She also created a macro-balanced meal plan, more detailed than anything I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t just food suggestions, it was a strategy: properly loading meals, timing nutrition around workouts, and explaining why eating five times a day supports energy, metabolism, and fat loss.
Every few weeks, she adjusted my plan based on how my body responded, helping me find the right balance that worked specifically for me. It’s not a “set it and forget it” program, it’s a constantly evolving process that kept me engaged and taught me to understand my own body better.
What I appreciate most is that Renee gives her time, energy, and attention without hesitation. She welcomes all of my questions , whether they’re about workout form, gut health, meal timing, or even when I send her random thoughts and memes. She always responds quickly and never makes me feel like a burden.
She also holds me accountable. If I deviate from the plan, she lets me know that it’s not acceptable if I truly want to reach my goals. And honestly, I need that! She pushes when I need it and cheers for me with every victory – big or small.
While Renee gives you the tools, the knowledge, and the support, you still have to be willing to put in the work and follow her lead. She can’t do it for you. But if you do the work, the rewards are absolutely worth it.
I’ve currently lost 17 pounds in three months and several inches, right on track with our expectations. If you’re looking for custom weight loss coaching that prioritizes your needs, teaches you about your body, and walks with you every step of the way, trust Renee, trust the process, and you WILL succeed.
Barb D.
Having spent the majority of my adult life struggling with my weight, losing and gaining 50 to 100 pounds multiple times, I was stuck in a cycle of unhealthy eating habits. Every time I lost weight, I’d eventually fall back into old patterns and have to start all over again. At my highest weight, I was 244 pounds on a 5’3” frame.
In my 20s, I once lost 90 pounds on my own, but food always felt like the enemy. I used to joke that I could be “five of myself” because I had lost and gained so many times. I tried Weight Watchers and saw some success, but when I stopped going, my habits crept right back in. Looking at photos from my children’s younger years still breaks my heart. I missed out on so many experiences simply because I didn’t have the energy. And as the one doing all the cooking, my poor eating habits affected my family too.
Everything changed after I got COVID in December 2020. When I was sick and didn’t have constant access to food, my eating patterns shifted. That’s when I reached out to Renee Schneider and asked if she could help me get started with MyFitnessPal. I thank God she said yes.
Renee was thrilled to help, and her encouragement made all the difference. I didn’t know much about macros or portion sizes at first, but she guided me every step of the way. She didn’t expect perfection, she just wanted to see me get healthier. With Renee’s help, I learned not just to control portions of my favorite foods, but also how to make better choices and understand nutritional balance.
Even though I didn’t follow everything perfectly, I’ve lost 110 pounds over the past three years, starting in my late 60s. Despite health challenges, including bone-on-bone arthritis in both knees, I made steady progress. I went from a size 24 to a size 10–12 in women’s clothing, and I haven’t been this healthy, or at this weight, since my early 20s. I’m 71 now, and I feel better now than I have in decades.
I am so proud of what I’ve accomplished, and I thank God every day for Renee’s support. Her expertise in weight loss coaching for older adults, macro tracking, and sustainable lifestyle change helped me take my life back. It’s never too late to start!
Tim D.
My name is Tim D., and I’ve been working with Renee for a year on my journey to improve my health and transform my lifestyle. For the past five years, I’ve been borderline diabetic, if not diabetic, with very little guidance from my doctor, in fact they ignored me and my concerns.
Renee created a personalized keto nutrition plan and introduced me to tracking my food using MyFitnessPal, which made all the difference. Since starting with her, I’ve lost 38 pounds, reached my ideal body weight, and dropped my A1C from 7.0 to 5.6, and I’m confident it’s even lower now. I just need to test again to confirm.
Not only am I maintaining my weight, but I also feel better than I have in years. Renee continues to coach me through this journey, keeping me accountable and on the right path.
Thanks, Renee, for everything you do! Your expertise in weight loss coaching, blood sugar regulation, and long-term lifestyle change has been truly life-changing.
Annette
I started working with Renee in June 2024 to begin my weight loss journey. After months of seeing no progress, and watching the scale move in the wrong direction, I was incredibly frustrated and discouraged. That’s when Renee stepped in and worked with me to dig deeper and identify the root cause behind my stalled progress and unexpected weight gain.
Through her expertise in functional health and hormone balance, we discovered that I have adrenal fatigue and am weight loss resistant – a conclusion I never would have reached on my own. Instead of pushing for quick fixes, Renee helped me focus on building a foundation of healthy, sustainable habits. Together, we’re addressing my underlying health issues before entering a fat loss phase, which is the smarter, long-term approach, even though it’s been difficult for me to stay patient.
This process has been emotionally challenging because, like many people, I just want to lose the weight I’ve gained over the past few years. But Renee has remained a constant source of support, and she has never given up on me, even though I joke that I might be one of her most difficult clients. (Sorry, Renee!)
She has listened with compassion, revamped my workout routine, adjusted my nutrition plan and supplements, and gone above and beyond to help me stay on track. Even when I’m struggling, she continues to guide me with empathy and expert insight.
While I’m not yet where I want to be physically, I know I’m in the right hands. I can count on Renee to be there for me every step of the way, and that kind of coaching is rare.
Thank you, Renee, for everything you’ve done and continue to do. Your dedication to individualized wellness, hormonal health, and weight loss coaching for women means more than you know. I appreciate you so much!
