Mentoring One’s Way To Greater And Longer-lasting Weight Loss
By Tom Kelly
Losing weight and keeping it off is a lonely and difficult journey. That’s why so many dieters
who go it alone set themselves up for failure. Designed by TKFitnessSolutions.com, the new Total Change
mentoring program provides these individuals with not only measurable results, but also the coaching
support they need to achieve long-term success.
A 100-percent client success rate is no easy feat for any business. It’s an even greater accomplishment in
the weight-loss industry, where failure is a notoriously common occurrence. TKFitnessSolutions.com, however,
can boast such an achievement because its Total Change program of weight-loss coaching has helped every single
one of its participants see fast results. In fact, the company is so certain its clients will achieve measurable
weight-loss results with the new 17-week program that it offers them a money-back guarantee. Individuals who
would like to learn more about this risk-free supportive eating and fitness solution can do so online
at http://www.TKFitnessSolutions.com.
A March 2004 article released by The Associated Press revealed that “online dieters lose three times more
weight with support.” A similar gap can be seen between real-world weight-loss seekers who work with a mentor
and those who lack any kind of support

system. TKFitnessSolutions.com’s Total Change program sets its clients up
for quick and lasting results by providing them with the supportive eating and fitness support they need to
achieve their goals. It’s no wonder then that the company has managed to maintain a flawless 100-percent success
rate.
Total Change developer, Tom Kelly, explains, “Weight-loss coaching is becoming more and more popular to getting
people results fast. When someone joins our program, they work one on one with either me or a highly trained member
of my staff. That’s how TKFitnessSolutions.com can offer a complete money-back guarantee. And to make Total Change
convenient for everyone, we offer group classes, phone mentoring and email coaching.”
It’s the company’s one-on-one mentoring strategy that sets TKFitnessSolutions.com apart from its competition. Not
only does the company’s 17-week Total Change program teach its participants how to eat right, but it also gives
them a different weekly workout to help them keep stimulating their bodies to burn fat. This combination of diet
and exercise has proven itself the key to keeping the pounds off for a lifetime.
Midway through the Total Change program, Kate M. had this to say about her experience: “The group class was awesome.
At first, I was skeptical but after my first class, I knew the program was going to work. After only 8 weeks, I am
down 24 pounds and five inches. This is the last program I will ever need.”
