Tony, 19, Queens Been working together for 1 Month My biggest goal before coaching was losing weight while gaining muscle Biggest obstacle before coaching was having a set workout plan and diet after working together for the last month ive noticed that i can eat a lot more things than i thought and still lose weight and gain muscle and also having a planned workout is extremely helpful because you dont have to think about what to do at the gym. My favorite part about the coaching program is having someone there to keep me accountable and help me stay on track with all my workouts I wasnt sure what I was getting into when I joined but after joining I feel so much better and have also gotten more comfortable with different workouts that I can do. Mobility workouts before the actual weights feel so good and definitely helps.

Jahely Z. I am amazed with the results and the accountability provided in the program. It’s tailored to my needs, my agenda, etc. My name is Jahely, something that I absolutely love to do is to translate. Where I translate the preachings are recorded, almost every angle. The Sundays I was scheduled I was always struggling what to wear, because I was self conscious of my body, double chin, back rolls etc. I came across Allens program while scrolling through TikTok at the airport frustrated with keto. After the first week I began to notice subtle changes but I thought “it’s just in my head” Well I was surprised that there was no extreme workout or diet he simply remarked and adjusted a few things. It will soon be 3 months, to say the least I am amazed with the results and the accountability provided in the program. It’s tailored to my needs, my agenda, etc. Here’s the details I’ve only dropped 5 lbs .. along with going from dress size 14 to 8. Jean size 14/12 to 10. Losing fat and gaining muscle is pretty crazy! My face has slimmed up like crazy, along with my back, lower stomach etc, There’s much room for progress. I am excited to continue this journey 💪

Rachel, 24 years old, Professional House Cleaner & Server I love having Allen in my life because his job is to coach me and give me tools to succeed and he does that really well. I have been working with Allen for about 3 months now. My biggest obstacle was eating right and staying disciplined. With Allen’s coaching I have not only noticed physical changes with my body but I feel better as well. His style of coaching is very flexible to individual client needs and I feel he is very supportive and motivating when things get hard. I really enjoy the workouts he plans for me and I have significantly improved my overall strength just in the 3 months we have been working together so far. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy ab workouts as much as I have. I got a coach because I wanted the confidence that I’m moving in the right direction to meet my fitness goals. I love having Allen in my life because his job is to coach me and give me tools to succeed and he does that really well.

Aryan Nooshi, 24, Senior Student at UC Davis His guidance from the start makes it clear that his intention with his program is to give long-term and healthy solutions to help me reach my fitness goals, which I really like! I’ve been working with Allen for a month now, and my goal was to build a physical foundation because I felt that I wasn’t getting the results I wanted at the gym. I wanted to be able to run faster and longer, and feel stronger and more healthy. My biggest obstacle before coaching was managing my time well enough to hit the gym consistently and keeping up a healthy diet. With Allen’s guidance, I’ve become more confident with my workouts and have been able to build habits step by step to work towards overcoming my problems in both dieting and gym time management! While we’re still working together, and while I’m still working to achieve my fitness goals, I’m very appreciative of Allen’s dedication and patience to guiding me towards habit building. His guidance from the start makes it clear that his intention with his program is to give long-term and healthy solutions to help me reach my fitness goals, which I really like!

Eunice, 22, Grad Student, San Francisco Allen and I have been working together for about a month now, my biggest goal going in was adherence and having s program to accommodate both my goals and schedules. Prior to coaching my biggest issue had been adherence and structure but Allen’s done a great job and designing my program. Thanks to him I've been able to surpass most, if not all, of my previous PRs!

Taylor, 32 years old, Pennsylvania Time with Allen as a coach: 5 months and counting I had originally asked Allen to help me lose weight in a healthy way and maintain a certain weight. I was nervous and asked a ton of questions because of a bad experience with a previous online trainer. He has been patient and understanding, he's answered all my questions and asked me some as well to get to know me and what my goals were. Since then, he's been amazing. Always just a chat away and ready to offer advice or a quick word of praise on my progress, anything I get excited about, he gets excited about, like my silly little post workout pumps. We have monthly calls to catch up and go over any changes/plans we want to make so the workouts arent stagnant. Our group chat with the other clients is a great space for all of us to talk about our problems, share products we've found, and advice/tips/tricks we've shared along the way. One of the things I was nervous about was my calorie intake. So far, Allen hasn't dictated that I change the number of calories, but has gone over the nutrition plan instead. How I eat, when, and what food choices I'm making. Not lowering my calories to some ridiculous, unsustainable number, but doing things mentally in a healthy way to keep me on track. I would and do recommend Allen to everyone and anyone. He's not just a pretty face, he's a great person and a great trainer.

My name is Mathieu, 29 years old, PhD Student. I have been working with Allen for the last three months, and it has been amazing! After being out of the gym for a few months, I was a bit lost about what I should do to get back on a good routine, so I decided to ask Allen for some help. I was completely satisfied! Before coaching, I had two big obstacles: I was having trouble finding the right workout routine for me, and I was having a kind of conflicting relationship with food, which made it hard for me to count calories. Allen listened carefully to everything I told him and came up with strategies to cope with those obstacles. Little by little, everything became clearer. What I really enjoy with Allen is that he has a very practical and educational approach to coaching/nutrition. Not only am I working towards building better habits, but also I feel like I'm learning so much every day. With Allen, in only three months, I have been able to lose a lot of body fat while keeping muscle, which is amazing. I can't wait to keep making progress!

Destinee Jimenez, College Student, Colorado. I had the pleasure of working with Allen for about 3 months, and it was definitely a game-changer for me. I first discovered Allen on Instagram, where his knowledge and expertise in fitness caught my attention. What impressed me most was his ability to back up his claims with facts - he wasn't just spouting off information without any evidence to support it. One of the things I appreciated most about Allen's program was his level of attentiveness. Whenever I had a question or concern, he was always there to provide guidance and ensure that my needs were met. Thanks to his support and guidance, I've been able to develop a healthy relationship with food and see some amazing improvements in my body. For example, I've become stronger by eating the protein my body needs, and my back is now more defined and my legs as well. When I first started with Allen I think I could only do 75lbs on lat pull-downs and now I can do 115!! I truly believe that Allen's program is suitable for beginners or anyone at any fitness level. He has a unique ability to help you become the best version of yourself and unleash your full potential.

Allen was a pivotal person for me in my recovery to getting back in good health! He introduced weight lifting to me in a positive light, something that I had trauma from being a former D1 athlete. I trained with Allen for a few months and transitioned into weight lifting on my own. I was able to lose 10 lbs over the span of 10 months while building strength and endurance which is a HUGE success to me!

Video transcript: Okay. Hi. This is My second. I'm recording this. And I'm going to try be as concise as possible because it cut me off Basically, hi. My name is Scott. I'm twenty one years old. I'm a student based in Hawaii. I worked with Allan for about four months. The reason why I wanted work with him was because I was just off an in person training period with someone at my gym. And it was a really good experience, but I thought it was too expensive and I was on a fat... I was on a weight loss journey, and now at that point with Allen, I decided to want to kind of like, build a more muscle and, like, along with, like, kinda maintaining my like fat loss goes. Best thing about the program is that Alan is able to really adapt to your needs and accommodate your program to what... However you are, like, able to able to work on. So if you are kind of like struggling with, like, more like imbalances of your strength. Out is able to kind of make a program immediately. Okay. Not immediately. But, like, kind of pretty quick on, like, making sure that both of your, like, parts both sides of your body that you kind of like having in balances on will have like, even, like, for sure, like, definite even amounts of muscle like muscle training. And all that jazz. Along with that, I think he's also able to kind of clock like, what is what can be wrong with, like, some of the workouts that you're doing? I I had like, a few issues when I was like, doing my own workouts and, like, when I brought it up with Alan, he was kind of able to interpret like, what was what I was saying and, like, kind of giving, like, at least like, sound solutions of what I could do and wish most... Like, ninety nine percent of them have been pretty much fixed. Major physical improvements. I was kind of at, like, seventeen percent body fat when I first started with Allen. And now I am currently at thirteen point four two percent. And, like like, it... It's kind of like it it sounds like a lot, but, like, through, like, just like, really really strict self like self strict diet regimen and, like, you know, kind of like, a lot of like, very disciplined tracking I was able to kinda get to that point and I Alan helping me also was very much a very good thing. Major on physical improvements, I feel like I have learned a lot from Alan during the time when I was working out. I was also debt lifting as kind of like a hobby I would say, and I was basically, every week sending Allen videos of my debt form and, like, we've been, like, like, week by week kind of like, perfect my form and like, now, like, I was doing Sumo and, like, almost hit... Like, like kind of struggling with, like, two twenty five. For five reps and, like, I switched... I... He's suggested like, oh, let's try conventional. And now I can do, like, two thirty five by five. Like, without that big of an issue. I mean, like, it's still really intense, but like, I can consider... But like the fact that I was able to do that and not with, like, my sumo dead lift is like, a really good thing. And I would say overall experience It's it's a really, really good time, like, having Alan as your coach. Because he is very much sound and grounded with his knowledge. And it's able to very much understand, like, what you're going through as, like, you know, like, someone who is... Like, as a student who's really busy with school and stuff like that, like, he was able was to kind of under... Like, understand, like, what I was kinda like going through and kinda me, like, also, like, very much like, time conscious work workout routines and like, diet and, like, very much, like student conscious, like, diet diet... Diet routines, I would say, like, where, like he just likes... And also is very much like, kinda basically very much on it. Like, he will make sure that you were at an okay place and just making sure that, like, you are on track to your goals because that's what you signed up with them for. And then last thing for potential applicants, I would like to say, it does take to to work to, like, get to your fitness goals. Right? All can do only so much, but And like, when I was for starting with Allen, like, things were things are joint going well, but I would say, like, like, it didn't feel like the ball was kinda like moving. I guess, until, like, I kind of really started, like, kinda like telling him, like, oh, this is what's happening with this specific workout. And then like I mentioned with my dad list. Like, I was I basically started sending him Dead videos every week and he started to take a look at every single one... Every single video I sent. And told me, like, what I could do this, I could do that. And basically, I took all of his advice and, like, I honestly am like, never have been better. So if you do sign up with Alan, I do think it is a very big plus. So you... Like, I think is very much worth

My name is Sophie, I'm 22 and I worked with Allen for 3 months while studying abroad in Ireland. I generally don't follow a lot of online coaches because I find most of them rather preachy and the content to be often either outdated or not scientifically based at all. But for Allen I don’t find this to be true at all. What you see with him is a very fact-based and realistic approach to training. Since I have already been training for quite some time, this was a non-negotiable for me and after the consultation call, Allen convinced me straight away. Due to Corona, university stress, injuries etc. it was difficult for me to get back into a proper training routine. The coaching gave me the support I needed and I rediscovered my love for the sport. Allen always helped me with any questions, dealt with all my problems and adjusted the plan immediately if something wasn’t working out for me. As a result, I progressed quickly: my technique improved, the weights became heavier and I looked and felt much fitter, which I noticed when playing tennis, among other things. The coaching also supported my nutritional goals and enabled me to gain a more neutral approach towards body image. Allen’s open and passionate nature made working with him feel natural and a lot of fun. He is very attentive to the individual needs of his clients and extremely understanding, making sure that the coaching is adapted to his coachee’s lifestyle. Especially in my situation, Allen was a perfect fit and I couldn't have chosen a better coach. I can only recommend the coaching, whether you are just starting out or have been training for a while. You won’t regret it.

Colin, 26, Teacher, South Korea I really recommend Allen because not only has he taught me fundamentals of working out, but also he's really flexible about what you need and he really listens to feedback. I worked with Allen for about 15 months! I wanted to work with Allen because I actually was inspired by him early on in my fitness journey. I started following him because he did a 5k a day challenge and it motivated to do it myself! I was really successful in doing the 5ks and I knew I wanted to do more, so then I joined with the February workout/hydrate challenge back in 2021. After that month, I decided to try the 1-1 online coaching with Allen because he seemed familiar, knowledgeable and made working out not something exclusive to gym bros! The best thing about the program was definitely not having to worry about the workouts and also that Allen was so supportive throughout the whole process. I went from doing only at-home workouts, to my friend's home gym, to finally the actual gym. I was definitely scared of going to an actual gym at first, but Allen was so supportive and made me really confident in the exercises I was doing! Physically, I felt and feel so much stronger than I was a few years ago. I can also see myself more toned throughout the process. It's definitely small visual differences, but I'm really proud of how physically I feel like I can do so much more than before. Also the biggest win was that before working with Allen, I could do probably 1 really really bad pull up, while now, I can do 6 in a row! That was a huge win and the support Allen gave was so great. Non-physically, I am much more confident in doing workouts and also just comfortable doing them. I used to hate doing the workouts and act as if they were a chore, but now, I actually enjoy the workouts and have the knowledge of what workouts to bundle together. I'm less stressed and way more energetic than I was before and I can actually get through a whole day of teaching without feeling exhaustion. I really recommend Allen because not only has he taught me fundamentals of working out, but also he's really flexible about what you need and he really listens to feedback. Allen became not just my trainer, but also a good friend and I'm really glad that I got to experience a really healthy 1-1 coaching! I was not confident at all in working out, but now I genuinely do love working out and long term, I'm going to keep at it. So, if you need a launching point and support system, I definitely recommend Allen!

My name’s Declan. I’m 20 and I live in Australia. Allen and I worked together for the better part of 7 months, we focused on my fitness goal that started as one thing, then slowly evolved as I hit each of my targets (which Allen made sure of). I chose Allen because he seemed like someone I could genuinely get along with (and he was). When we had our scheduled calls, it didn’t feel like a monotonous PT session, but like I was talking to a friend who was guiding me along my fitness journey. The best thing about Allen’s program for me, was the flexibility, with each routine he created for me, he made sure it fit into my lifestyle, skill level and even my favourite exercises. I could always message him anything I would have to input about the program, and he’d be on board, he would then turn my input into actionable, motivating and great workout routines. I had a major physical improvement with Allen (as you can see in the attached image). We underwent a body recomposition, more or less reducing my body fat whilst maintaining and even increasing my muscle mass. I lost roughly 7kg across the duration of the program, whilst gaining strength and looking better every day. Allen never opted for shortcuts, he made sure the job was getting done to the best of his ability. Not only did I gain physical improvements, but I also gained a better perspective for working out, and I also gained a ton of knowledge too. Allen never gave me a routine without explaining why each movement was important, and how I should go about my technique as well. I never felt left in the dark about anything, and I came out on the other side much more knowledgeable for it! Allen is a great trainer, and a great guy, he doesn’t just talk the talk, he walks it too. It is safe to say that Allen’s program had a huge impact on my life, physically and mentally. I recommend Allen’s program to anyone unsure of where to start on their fitness journey, someone coming back from a long break, or if you just want a kick-ass trainer.

Hi, my name is Eresay. I am 22 years old, a student and I’m from Kansas. Allen and I worked together for 15months! I decided to work with Allen because of how authentic his content was/is. I never saw him post any misinformation nor follow any type of toxic fitness trend. Above all, Allen understands that healthy and fit looks different for every BODY and encourages that investing in yourself is one of the best things you can do. I just felt that my mentality and goals aligned with his! The best thing about the program really was the 1:1 part. It felt nice to be heard and have a program specifically for me and my goals. Major physical improvements include becoming stronger in all muscle groups and having more definition when it comes to my back, hamstrings and arms. In addition, I’m able to rep 10 of 225 when it comes to my squat, bench a plate and do 4 wide grip pull ups. These were all goals of mine when I first started with Allen and I’m glad I was able to reach them with his help. I never saw myself doing any of these. Non-physical improvements that are major for me is that I know much more about nutrition and overall I feel much better about my body. My body does so much for me and even if the physical improvements aren’t as drastic I still feel that I have grown to appreciate my body, something that I have always struggled with in the past. Overall I enjoyed working with Allen! So fun to work with and I think that is one of the most important things. Having a coach who can understand your needs but still keeps it real is more than I could ask for :) if you want to start putting in the work and building a foundation for your body that you can keep and maintain then I would recommend working with THE Allen Ye!

Tramayne, Executive @ Space Engineering Firm, Los Angeles I reached out to Allen in 2020, because I was drawn to his content. It was factual, non-preachy, and realistic. I followed him for a bit before reaching out, because I was curious if he’d change or feel the need to adapt to what other content creators were doing. It makes me happy to see, years later, that Allen only puts out content he believes in. Content that he’s researched or pulled from his own extensive knowledge. The most important part for me, was finding someone who would be able to work with my limitations. I have bulging discs in my lower spine, and I needed a trainer that was meticulous and caring. Up till this point, I had never done a squat or a leg press, out of utter fear that I’d not be able to walk again. The biggest gain I made from Allen, was successfully and carefully pushing thru my limitations. The foundation I built with him, has paid off in dividends. I looked for a trainer and gained a friend instead. Do not hesitate to work with him, he is one of the best. I gained 20+ pounds of muscles, mental clarity and not to mention he helped physically rehab me from a bad Covid infection (pre vaccine days).

My name is Lauren, I’m 20 years old, and I’m from Martha’s Vineyard, MA. Allen was my trainer for 12 weeks during the summer of 2022. He was the first physical trainer I have ever had and I had such an incredible experience! I had seen his videos online and as a dancer, I was very intrigued by his focus on mobility and wellness. I also wanted to work with Allen because I was anxious about finding a trainer, but Allen was so personable and positive that I immediately felt comfortable with him. The best thing about the program was definitely how knowledgeable and available Allen was. He consistently answered our questions, sent us reviews, and checked up on us. I feel like I also learned a lot of information about sleep and nutrition that really benefited me. One of the most important improvements that I gained from this program was that I adjusted my daily schedule to include a more productive routine with our “10 before 10”. I also noticed a lot of major physical improvements by the end of our 12 weeks. I was able to increase the total amount of weight that I was using at the gym and overall I just felt a lot stronger. I was even receiving compliments from my dance teachers saying that I looked stronger. I definitely noticed the most physical improvement in the dance studio where my stamina was increased and my balances lasted longer without losing any of my flexibility. I would recommend Allen to anyone looking to create or work on their fitness goals and I would definitely work with him again!

My name is Jayce, I’m 23, and from New Jersey. Allen was my trainer for 12 weeks and a fantastic one at that. I worked with him because I wanted to get on track with working out, was inspired by the way he looked physically, and overall positive personality. The best thing about the program was not only the exercises and videos to show them but also the meal plans listed. I noticed major physical improvements in my muscle mass and how well they are toned as well. Non-physical improvements are definitely strength, I could only lift 15 lb dumbbells when starting and am currently at 45lb dumbbells. I would definitely say Allen exceeds himself as a trainer and is passionate about what he does even caring about his clients and their own personal lives. I would definitely say that working with Allen helped me out so much and got me into the fitness industry, even pursuing my own personal trainer certification at the moment.

Coming into the program I never went to the gym since I was scared to. The program got me over the fear. I was really not doing the best health wise and now I see improvements even in my daily walks to class. Also before this program I didn’t make any gym related jokes. On discord me and my friend are called “gym bros” and we hype each other up with new PRs.

Allen is great! I was nervous because I’ve never worked with a coach before and was skeptical about the notion of a remote coach. However, I was worried for no reason because within the short time we knew each other I think he got to understand me and the ways I get in the way of myself and what motivated me. The program itself was very effective for me, each part had a purpose and Allen would teach us why we were doing each thing so we can use it for ourselves later. I wasn’t a complete beginner when we started, however whenever anything was new to me, I could ask anything and send form videos which were very helpful! It was a group program but tbh I felt very supported even if our live interactions were limited
