Sara's meal plan prep is superb. The meals were delicious and to my liking. You can pretty much make anything work.
Sara is an amazing coach. I worked with her as a lifestyle client. She keeps you focused on the goals. She’ll inspire you to possibly enter into a bodybuilding prep but there’s no push to do so.
* Great at teaching you on techniques/form.
In all, you will be treated like a friend/family.
Your success will be celebrated regardless of level. Can’t wait to train with her again someday. Miss you!

Sara is such an amazing coach and I’m so happy I was lucky enough to have her for my first competition. As a new comer walking into this community it can be intimidating but Sara is great at making you feel welcomed and keeping you informed. I loved the meal plans and how versatile they were. The training sessions were on pare as well with how informative she is with targeting certain muscle groups. This fitness journey has literally changed my life and has help re- instill my self confidence with my body. I won my first competition with her under the bikini division and looking forward to doing more under her wing!

Throughout working with Sara I never felt like just a client, she makes you feel like a friend and makes fitness and the struggle of pushing yourself to new limits fun. I had the initial goal of doing a show when starting to work with Sara, and we had just achieved that! Being 19 years old, I was a little nervous about coaches not taking me seriously about wanting to start competing but she made me feel so heard and understood how bad I wanted to do it. Prep was so fun, meals were never dull always delicious, and so much new information was acquired through her! Training sessions with her were so beneficial, as I was not a beginner starting out in lifting, but FORM IS KEY and she taught me all about that! Thank you so much Sara for helping me achieve my dream physique and being an amazing coach !

Sara is a phenomenal coach. I currently work with her as a lifestyle client, but she also helped me achieve my goal of doing my first NPC bikini competition at the age of 45. I wanted to take a healthy approach (as healthy as a prep can be) and do it naturally and without compromising my health (too much). I add these caveats because dieting for a competition just isn't the healthiest thing - especially for perimenopausal women. With Sara's guidance, I placed 1st in 45+ class, 1st in True Novice and 2nd overall for my (height) class.

Competition prep is always going to be hard, mentally and physically, but training with Sara is always fun because she has such a great sense of humor. It's a rare day when a session hasn't involved a great belly laugh to brighten my day. I've also enjoyed meeting her clients and am so grateful that she paired me up with another client of hers who was also doing her first Masters bikini competition. We continue to train together and have the best time doing it.

I was referred to Sara by my former coach when he decided to change careers. All coaches can give you a decent training program, but Sara is especially talented at educating on techniques and form if you work with her in-person. She has extensive knowledge and experience as a life-long athlete and professional bodybuilder. I had a pretty limiting shoulder injury when I started working with her, and she has been truly amazing at helping me gain strength and mobility in spite of the injury.

Last but not least, I've heard of so many coaches giving their clients awful, bland, cookie-cutter chicken breast and asparagus meal plans that would make any sane person seriously depressed. I LOVED Sara's competition prep meal plan. The meals were delicious and thoughtfully incorporated my likes and left out foods I dislike. I continue to eat several of the meals Sara introduced to me because I enjoy them so much.

I highly recommend Sara Ard, strive,
Elite, Fitness! Sara is outstanding! She is extremely knowledgeable, focused on attention to detail, and so professional! I am an older athlete in my mid 50s, that wanted to train for my first bikini fitness competition. Sara took me out of my comfort zone, worked really hard with my technique and form while pushing me to train hard each week, encouraging and mentoring me every step of the way. I took second place in a huge show, all thanks to Sara! She built my self-confidence week after week as my body changed and provided me with proper nutrition and meal plans. Her meal plans were delicious and accommodated any of my dietary needs.
I am a pescatarian, and she made my meal planning full of variety and delicious! Sara is seriously one of the most amazing, encouraging, and most knowledgeable coaches I have ever had the pleasure to train with! Sara is top notch, truly cares about her athletes, and I feel grateful and privilege to still be training with her today.

When I began working with Sara, I had already lost a significant amount of weight and had been training on my own for years. My routines were stagnant, and I wanted to step up my game to really reach my full potential.
Sara has taught me so much about lifting, proper body mechanics, and the mind/muscle connection. She has shown me what it takes to achieve my goals. Sara pushes me further than I ever realized I capable of, and I always leave a session with her smiling.
You aren't just another client. Sara makes plans for each individual and makes adjustments when needed. She is incredibly talented. I feel honored to be able to work with her. She has gone above and beyond to help me in any way that she can. You don't have to be a bodybuilder or an aspiring bikini competitor, although after working under her, you may want to be! If you want to work with the best, this is as good as it gets! Thank you, Sara, for changing my life.

I had such a great experience training with Sara for the past couple of months!! She was very patient and one of the most knowledgeable people I've met in the fitness industry. She's helped me understand and strengthen my mind muscle connection, become more confident in the gym, and overall has helped me develop my strength and technique so much! Thank you so much for all the time, help, and effort these past few months!!

When I first started this program, I had no idea on where to start with nutrition! Sara did a fantastic job helping me track my nutrition intake and set up a meal plan to where I could lose weight. Not only that, she helped me feel comfortable and confident at our local gym, where she showed me the proper form for many lifts! She’s super cool and down to earth! I can’t recommend her and her services enough!

Sara was my coach for a bodybuilding show that I competed in. We did roughly 3 months of off-season and nutrition work, and then 11 weeks of prep. I was a first timer and Sara was very good at making me feel comfortable and making weekly adjustments based on how my body and energy levels responded. By the end I was very proud and confident of what we'd achieved when I finally stepped on stage! If you're looking for a coach to get you into bodybuilding, or just a personal trainer, I highly recommend Sara!!

— I struggled so much on my own. When it came to eating healthy, and working out. I had specific goals but I didn’t know how reach them.
— On my last leg I said I needed a professional because me doing it on my own WASN'T working. I found Coach Sara and she changed my life. Even though my schedule was scattered she worked with me and was very helpful.
— Always being the chubby or thicker friend, I’m at a lost for words at what I look like now. Because of Coach Sara I fell in love with lifting all over again, & can’t wait to compete! Don’t be afraid to say you need help, or what you’re doing isn’t working. Put you and your health first and contact Coach Sara !

When I finally decided to follow my passion and compete, I started the search for the perfect coach! When I found out Coach Sara made it to the Olympia in a year, I knew she had to be the one! Her vast knowledge of the sport will leave you feeling confident not only in life and the gym, but on stage as well! I've learned so much and continue to learn from her every time we train! She pushed me past what I thought my limits were and showed me just how far I can really go! We took home 2nd at my first ever bodybuilding competition, I can't wait to continue to work with Coach Sara and bring home more hardware! Whatever your fitness goal is, whether it be competing or lifestyle, she can help you achieve it! Coach Sara has really gone above and beyond my expectations!

This was my second time working with Sara to complete my weight loss goals and for the second time I was everything but disappointed. I can’t imagine having made the progress I did, trying to do it on my own.

tl;dr: Working with Sara, I lost 20 pounds in 12 weeks. 198 -> 178.

When I contacted Sara I weighed 198lbs, the heaviest I’d ever been. At 5’10 198lbs, I was feeling sluggish, tired, and really hated how I looked.

When I reached out to Sara she was super available, made the meal plans easy to follow and simple enough that I was actually able to maintain my goals while having taken two week-long trips in the middle of working with her.

I ended up losing 20 POUNDS IN 12 WEEKS.

I probably could have lost two or three more pounds but I may or may not have skipped a couple of cardio sessions.. Sorry Sara!

But having lost 20 pounds while not even being 110% on top of it really shows how much Sara knows her sh*t.

I would highly recommend her for your weight loss or competition needs!

Vegan Lifestyle Client Here!

I have been working with them as a lifestyle client for almost 5 months and I am so grateful to have signed up with them. Let me preface this by saying before I signed up, I had never done weightlifting and it showed! My first one-on-one training session with Sara, I could barely lift my arms above my head to do a military press without wobbling and shaking. However, they were patient and helped me throughout my learning process. Before, I was terrified to go into the weights section of the gym, but now I feel confident and strong. Sara knows exactly how to demonstrate and explain anything so that you feel confident that your form is correct and that you are engaging the right muscles. After I completed my 12 one-on-one sessions with her, I have continued to attend the group training sessions and even then, Sara still manages to be attentive to each individual client's weaknesses and strengths!

They also handle my meal and workout plans, as well as helping to adjust my program as I progress. I am a vegan and was initially worried that my dietary restrictions may be an issue, however they have handled it with great thoughtfulness and care. They are truly dedicated to making sure that your diet is well balanced and that you meet your macro goals, which is no easy task for vegans and non-vegans alike! Through their guidance, they have helped me understand what a well rounded diet should look like. They are ready to explain and answer any questions or concerns you have. They work with you as a mentor, rather than just wanting you to obey blindly. Each week, as you send in your progress measurements and photos, they monitor how your body reacts and adjusts if he needs to.

You obviously need to put in the work too. But they make it feel attainable and doable. Not only do they themselves act as a walking motivation, but they know exactly what to say when you feel like you are struggling or aren't where you think you should be.

Sara is one of the most incredible and inspiring people I have ever met. She is beyond humble and--I cannot emphasize this enough--truly cared about her clients! Whether you are a lifestyle client or a competitor, you will receive expert and tailored guidance to reach your fitness goals. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!

I've been working out with trainers for a LONG time, and Sara is hands down the best out there. We're talking world-class level coaching. She doesn't just tell you what exercise to do, she shows you how to hold the weight, where to place your foot, what toe to put your weight on, where to put your chin. The smallest details make the biggest difference. For the first time in my life, I can honestly say I know how to work out.

AND working out with her has been the best thing for my body! I was in physical therapy for 6 months for plantar fasciitis, and it never moved the needle. After 1 month of training with Sara, it was completely gone. I haven't had any foot pain in over a year. That's because she pinpointed weakness in certain muscle groups (not my foot!) and then helped to strengthen them with laser-focused exercises.

She has done wonders for my body and overall health :)

I've been with Team Titan Fit for 6 months now! Placed top 5 in my first prep with them and currently undergoing my second prep now. Initially, the dream was to dabble into one or two preps, step on stage and get it out of my "system". But this process has opened me up to a new world where I not only met AMAZING COACHES, but also, amazing teammates (and now friends), learned to exercise properly and with intensity, learned how important nutrition is to this process and found a new me. Happy tears as a write this, seriously.

I am a Mother of 3 (3, 8 and 9 years old), Wife and Registered Nurse - if you've ever considered a prep but have worried about lack of time - let me tell you, it's possible! Discipline and commitment are all you need. If you decide to make this commitment, these are your coaches for the job. They are incredibly responsive and in tune with their athletes. They care about your individual goals and focus on the most minute details. They deal with everything from training to posing and meal plans. My meal plans were never, ever dull and full of variety (and cheat meals ).

I pride myself in being a part of this team. I wear my team shirts with pride. I talk about my team and coaches with pride. Thank you Chris and Sara

When I first approached Chris and Sara with my fitness goals, I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to take away from the whole experience since I am extremely new to the whole process. There was only one thing on my mind and that was to improve my overall health and fitness routine. Through their lifestyle coaching program, I received exactly that and much more. They are the most genuine, knowledgeable and motivating dynamic duo. They do not push you to do anything you cannot physically do but instead push you to train beyond what you have mentally capped yourself of being capable to do. Just during the personal training sessions I had with Sara, I learned SO MUCH valuable information, technique and proper form. Chris does an amazing job with the meal plan as well, as he includes a significant amount of variety tailored to your liking. The incorporation of the Group training session is so neat because you get to meet other people working to towards the same goal. I highly recommend working with Sara and Chris, they are amazing!

Chris and Sara are a great support system and are extremely knowledgeable. They will customize your program specifically for you and work with you one on one to reach your goals. I was especially excited/ impressed with the customized macro based meal plans. I loved not having to worry about what to eat and calculating macros all day. I would highly recommend them to anyone, you will be in good hands with Titan fitness!

Titan Fitness and Nutrition took me from over a decade of being away from the gym to earning my Pro Card in a single season. Chris and Sara are the real deal. Whatever your goal is, they are 100% dedicated to helping you achieve it. The meal plans are detailed and delicious, catered to foods I enjoy, and never get boring. The workout plan is intense and varied. It is difficult to quantify how much I have learned regarding diet, training, and competing from these two. I have been hugely successful with their program, and would highly recommend them to anyone serious about getting results.

I always wanted to compete and started looking for coaches over the summer of 2016. I met Chris and Sara after a short search and was very happy I did. They prepared me for my first show (as well as several others) with all the tools necessary to be successful. Chris developed a customized plan including meals and a training/conditioning regimen. The meals themselves were nothing short of amazing in that they were not your standard tilapia and asparagus six times a day (you will be very happy with the meal plans). The one on one training and group sessions taught me so much. I have been working out for almost 20 years and thought I was pretty knowledgeable when it came to fitness, but I have learned more in 2 years with Chris and Sara than I have in my entire 20 training on my own. Whether your goal is to become an IFBB pro or to live a healthier life, Chris and Sara will get you there. All of the Team Titan members are vibrant and positive people. The atmosphere is one where anyone can grow. I highly recommend working with Team Titan and these amazing coaches.

I spent over 2 years with a previous coach who go me started on a bodybuilding program but things became stale and I needed a new set of eyes on my fitness goals and reached out to Chris and Sara. I have been a client since March and have seen improvements in my physique. Chris' meal planning is excellent. He provides variety so you're not eating the same thing 3 times a day. He customizes the plans based on the individual's progress. It has been easier for me to stay on plan because of the variety and the occasional treat meal. His one-on-one sessions are rigorous and the group training he an Sara have allow you to meet other team members and challenge each other. They are the best.

Both Chris and Sara are very knowledgeable and amazing coaches! They were there for me every step of the way for my show. They truly care about their clients. They encourage and always pushed me through workouts. They taught me so much about working out and how to gain better results. The meal plans are not cookie cutter or boring. They include variety which is important to me so I don’t get bored and cheat. Truly the best in the business whether it’s lifestyle or preparing for a show. You won’t regret working with them!

I spent the last 12 months working with Chris - first putting on some additional size and then going through prep for my first bodybuilding show. If you want a no nonsense coach who will demand the best out of you and push you past what you thought your limits were, then Chris is your guy! Chris showed me that there is a whole other level of intensity in the gym that separates the best from the rest. Every training session with him was a humbling experience, and I still have nightmares about leg day haha. If you are serious about competing and willing to unquestionably put in HARD work then contact Chris and get started!!

Hmmmm where do I start... I found Team Titan fit from a simple google search of “the best bikini competitor coaches in San Diego.” This search led me to Chris and Sara Ford. Upon our first meeting (when i said I wanted to be a figure competitor (me being delusional. Lol)) and first email I knew that the team I was signing up for were coached and led by true professionals, who had a passion for what they did and for their clients success.

What I loved is the open communication. Everything I needed to know was explained in full detail and if I had any question I didn’t feel as if I couldn’t ask. They are the type of people that not only coach and lead you but teach you and make sure you understand. There is a distinct difference from just a personal trainer and a coach.

From the meal plans to the workouts, everything is given to me with thought put into. (Who wants to eat chicken, rice, and broccoli everyday, and who wants to do the exact same workout every week). They develop well rounded programs.

Chris and Sara are fun to be around and workout with which made my journey even more exciting. They actually have personalities which make you feel like you are more than just a client

As for me I joined the team in December 2017 and competed in my first competition May 5th 2018 and won (I was so stoked and surprised). I am now training in hope of becoming and IFBB Bikini Pro.

If you have a true desire to succeed whether it’s personal body goals or competition goals, these two people are the ones whom you want to assist you on your journey. Yes you have to put in the work but they will be there to encourage you along the way.

I am a true believer that you attract the energy that you put out in the world and I was led to the best, most positive, real deal coaches alive.

My fiancé and I have been working with Titan for over a year now! I have to say, making the choice to work with Chris and Sara was probably the best and most impactful decisions that I have ever made! Not only did I see results almost instantly, but continuously, and even still to this day I see results! Chris and Sara are amazing! I don’t just look at them as my coaches or my trainers, but as my friends! Think of them as your teammates, they are there to support you and motivate you, but they are also there to crack the whip on you! And they also truely care!! They are such genuine people! If you are looking for help losing weight, consider them, if you want to build muscle, consider them! If you are looking to learn how to change your lifestyle for the better, consider them!! I have learned so much about fitness and nutrition, but I have also learned so much about myself and what it takes to be a better me! I highly encourage anyone and everyone that I talk to to join the team!

My journey with Team Titan has been fulfilling on so many levels. I never thought I would see my abs or become a bikini competitor. When I started, I was looking for a new challenge, a change from my normal workout and a goal to lose 5% body fat. My goal was to accomplish this in 12 weeks and low and behold with coach’s help I obtained my goal. Coach Chris didn’t offer me a magic pill or wave a wand… it took a great deal of discipline, dedication and hard work. Fortunately I had a great coach that guided me the entire way. Coach provided well balanced meals and introducing me to the right types of Proteins, Carbs & Fats. Once reaching the set goal, Coach and I met to discuss what was next. That’s when he said, “Have you considered competing? Part of me was a little apprehensive and the other part of me said “Hell Yes” I am competitive and super discipline, let’s do this. Well here we are 8 months later and I did it! …………… I made my first appearance on stage at the recent Lindsey Muscle Contest show in San Diego. I placed 4th in Masters over 40 and 5th in Novice Bikini. I am super proud of my accomplishments and look forward to putting in some hard work in preparation for my next show. Chris and Sara are a great team that keep you motivated in the kitchen and in the gym. They ensure that your technique is on point and motivate you to push harder and heavier than you thought possible. After each workout whether gluts or shoulders I am spent! In addition to working with Chris and Sara, you are part of the Titan Team. I have met some pretty amazing people and developed some great friendships. If you are looking for results, I highly recommend working with Chris & Sara!

Working with Team Titan Fitness over the past 4.5 months has truly been amazing. Chris and Sara worked with me through my deployment, really helping me achieve my goal of competing in my first bikini competition. And not only was I able to compete, but I also placed! They genuinely care for your success and never give you “cookie-cutter” diets/solutions to your goals.

I can say with confidence that Sara and Chris Ford have dramatically changed my life! In 14 short weeks I transitioned from an endurance junkie to a bikini competitor under their guidance and expertise. Sara is a skilled trainer that knows how to push you to the max (and beyond) in the weight room. Chris is a nutritional genius that taught me how to use Macros to completely transform my diet. Their passion and excitement for body building is contagious. I highly recommend working with this crew if you want results.

I came to Chris & Sara with zero knowledge of fitness shows & what I needed to do. I had been working out for years but this was the first time I had decided to try doing a show.
Chris and Sara accepted me arms wide open from day #1.
Chris provided meal plans that were beyond doable (not your standard chicken, rice & broccoli) and gave me all the tools I needed to be successful.
I also did a couple sessions with Sara & one with Chris and Sara and every single time they kicked my booty! They pushed me to a place I didn't even realize I was able to be pushed to.
They were also incredibly helpful on show day. It was so helpful to have a coach who was at the show the entire day to help with any touch ups, questions, etc.

Chris & Sara gave me all the knowledge and tools I needed to do well in this show. They provided me with great nutrition, workouts and support.

In that first email Coach Chris said “I’m looking forward to getting you in the best shape of your life. Trust the process and you’ll do great!” And he did exactly THAT! I am officially reversed out of my 2nd show, finally maintaining around 153 lbs, radiating with confidence in my eating habits and loving this full new offseason “look”. This feels amazing because I have not just shredded down for a show then rebounded, I have not eaten the same tilapia asparagus, egg whites and peanut butter for 7 meals of my day like some other teams. I was coached and guided through this whole process with my health being the number 1 priory, and my success post show being a crucial and important step to learning how to make this a lifestyle. I cannot tell you how amazed I am at all that coach Chris knows about this sport, his ability to visually look at someone and determine macros and a set plan for them to reach their goals, and just every little detail about supplements and micronutrients he prescribes throughout this. I never understood why some foods where placed where they were or why he designed my meals the way he did BUT now that I have scraped the surface of some nutrition basics and how to fuel for optimal muscle growth, I truly am connecting all the dots he laid out along the way and it FEELs so DAMN good!!

Things I REALLY appreciate about team Titan and the way they run their team.

1. Coach is very straight forward and doesn't every feed you any false confidence

2. He fueled me throughout my prep with so many types of protein, carbs, and variations of fats that I never got bored

a. For someone that had a horrible understanding of portion sizes and was by no means a healthy weight there were tons of things I thought I have to restrict and had always said were BIG no no items…. That always lead me to fail because in life you ALWAYS want what you can’t have and that would lead me to those random binges

3. You taught me how to curve my biggest cravings with foods that keep you progressing forward but don’t derail you!

a. On prep with the Kodiak pancakes, wasabi peas, dry roasted edamame and laughing cow cheeses.. and now finding so many cool offseason tricks to keep you satisfied and sane without ever “needing a non-calculated cheat”

b. Also finding that I don’t actually want to eat bars, pancakes, or halo top ice cream, froyo, or even sushi as often as I wanted to when those “handcuffs” first came off. (I remember at the beginning every high carb day I would think what can I fit in….. what treat.. what big carb meal can I fit in today) Now I can truly say because I believe I can have whatever I want when I want it’s not as cool and my high carb days consist of mostly good complex carbs and heathy versions of old favorites to just put

a. tiny smile on my face and keep me motivated to keep progressing!

b. I have found I love fats more than carbs…. That some dairy makes me bloat more than others….That a flavored nut butter sandwich pre workout with ½ banana warms my heart and is something I really look forward to along with my Muscle Egg…..Truly those two things and I’m a happy camper with no cravings

4. This entire experience with team titan of losing the weight and fueling right for as long as I have has given me the “feelings and ques” that your body is supposed to send you when you eat foods.

a. Before this I never felt full (rarely), I never could feel if I was bloated from carbs, never really got an upset stomach…. I’d say I was a freaking TANK with alcohol, food you name it. I am so HAPPY to have regained these feelings because it makes food choices so much easier. That plus some general macro knowledge of

5. Lastly being on a team lead by such great examples of two humble hardworking IFBB Pros

I have dreamed of looking like, or being, a figure competitor since 2000; when I first saw Danielle Edwards on the cover of Muscle & Fitness Hers. At then 22, I had no idea it would take 16 more years for me to find someone who could help me achieve that dream. My husband found Team Titan in January of 2016. I don't even know if I'll be able to put into words the gratitude I feel towards Chris and Sara, but I will try.

I have lifted weights and been an athlete all my life. I have played a variety of sports, and had many coaches. I've also worked with personal trainers, one of which was a competitor. But Chris and his wife Sara are a whole other level of coach for this particular sport. What I respected and admired about him was that he has not just experience, but degrees in culinary arts, nutrition, and a variety of NASM certifications. That would have been enough to impress me, but he also PRACTICES WHAT HE PREACHES. How many trainers do you see that look like them? I see many that do not.

Chris provides detailed food plans down to macros with a variety of foods that never leave you bored. It also pushes you out of your comfort zone to try things you never thought of that end up being delicious (smoked salmon and egg with honey on an english muffin anyone??) Your body's health is his number one priority. The first thing he did with me was aim to heal my metabolism, which was shot from years of starving myself and yo-yo dieting. I am a hard core food addict, and have been around the block with all sorts of diets. I have gained and lost 15 pounds in the last 18 months and currently am at the same weight where I started, but my body looks completely different! I'd always heard of competitors talk about that "muscle weighs more than fat" business, but now I've seen it and experienced it with my own body, having gone from 30% to 21% body fat, at the same weight. Within the last 3 months he even suggested I go see my doctor because I might have a thyroid issue due to the lack of response in my body...guess what? He was right! That's why I say your body's health is his main priority. My relationship and understanding of food and how my body responds is so much better, and I feel I can feasibly live a life where I don't have to deprive myself of flour or sugar forever. I have the tools to balance my food.

In regards to training, I have a question for you: do you think you know how to train pretty hard? Answer: you don't ;) Not until you train with Chris. One of the most valuable things I've learned from him is what hard training feels like. I would NEVER have gained this much muscle and shaped my body like this without his help. I simply didn't know how. Chris also tailors your workouts to meet your goals. Mine have changed many times over the last 18 months, and they will continue to change I'm sure. But now, I have so much more knowledge about training and form, that being at 24 hour is a little painful to watch other people hurt themselves...I feel confident that I can design my own workouts now with success.

In short (well I guess this isn't really short; bless you for reading this far), Chris and Sara have literally changed my life. I come closer and closer to achieving my goal of looking like a competitor (perhaps someday I will be one, I'm technically a lifestyle client) and I feel I can officially call myself a "fit" person. This brings me confidence: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. It has made my life richer. They are such wonderful, kind, funny, genuine people of integrity. Finding that in this industry is difficult, but they are the real deal. I will be forever grateful to them. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Ford!! XOXO

Chris and Sara are a fantastic team, and provide tremendous coaching. I went into training hoping to learn about nutrition and proper technique, and achieved that and much more. The plans provided and training sessions are invaluable to achieving any goals you have set for yourself. Would recommend to those just getting into fitness all the way to seasoned athletes.

I have always dreamed of doing a bikini fitness competition, but at 44 years old, I didn't know where to start until I found Chris Ford, IFBB Pro. This was the best decision I ever made. I've always been active and into fitness and I thought I knew all there was to know about training and nutrition, but man, was I wrong. I was committed to the process and my body literally transformed dramatically after only 16 weeks with Chris! He knows his stuff and is such a great coach...he's with you every step of the way right up until competition day backstage. Follow his methods, work hard, endure his tough love and you are guaranteed amazing results. I never thought I'd place in the top 5 in my class at my first show, but with Chris as my coach, he made my dreams a reality! I am now addicted to competing and will be working with Chris again for my next show in May 2017. Go Team Titan!

My overall experience with this team has been absolutely amazing so far. Not only are Chris & Sara supportive coaches but the team is very supportive as well. If you want to be part of a team that pushes you with positive energy and motivation to become a better version of yourself, Team Titan Fit is the team to join!

Chris and Sara are true professionals. I have competed in the past and was left with a not so nice taste in my mouth, as another coach under fed and over worked me. Chris was able to work with me to get my metabolism back up to speed and put me back in the right frame of mind to compete.
Team Titan truly cares about its athletes and puts health over any competition. They are always there to answer questions and check-in with you, never once did I feel like I was bothering them. I wouldn't choose any other coaches!! In season or off season they will get you to your goals no matter what they may be.

I started my training with Chris Ford in July 2015 in preparation for competing in 2016. We took a solid 8 months to build a foundation, and it has been nothing but the absolutely best experience! I have been through 4 competition prep coaches, and none of them ever made the effort or taken the time Chris has to truly get to know and understand the way my body works. In just 8 months, Chris and I were able to add 8 pounds of lean muscle mass to my frame, and we completely changed my shape!

Another great thing about Chris is that he does not provide the same "cookie cutter" meal plan that most prep coaches provide. His meal plans have made prep feel more like a LIFESTYLE than prep. It has been so easy to be disciplined because I am constantly eating different sources of food throughout the day! I never get bored :)

ALSO, Chris is a phenomenal personal trainer. I am also a personal trainer, but I elected to start personal training sessions with Chris because I understand that sometimes even coaches need a coach to cue them to target the intended muscle. Chris has a vast knowledge of the kinesiology behind training- which has been vital to my success as an athlete. I learn something new from him every session!

I started training with Chris Ford in October 2015 as a lifestyle client and am very impressed with his professionalism and vast knowledge. He is pushing me to reach a level of fitness strength and physique that I have never been able to achieve on my own. I am 46 years old and my body is the most fit and lean it has ever been particularly my legs and glutes which have always been my weak areas! I look forward to my continued training with Chris Ford and because of the results and my gained confidence in my lower physique area, I am strongly considering entering a fitness figure competition for the first time! Chris seems to be able to expertly train both men and women of varying ages which is very reassuring. I have seen the results of his other clients as well. They are amazing!!
Additionally, Chris and his fiancé, Sara make an excellent team and are both role models for anyone interested in pursuing high achievements in their overall health and fitness! I am glad I found them!!

I love this team!! Chris is one of the most knowledgeable coaches, and he has great relationships in the industry. He works alongside other gurus and is able to create a well rounded package for any competitor.

Sara and Chris are like family and will always go the extra mile to make sure you are on track.

Chris sends detailed tailored meal plans for his clients weekly and has great food ideas. Everyone's physique looks awesome on Chris' food, and he implements many different researched philosophies into his plans.

I don't live in San Diego and can always count on 24/7 support form these guys. If I come down to train, I can meet them at Worlds Gym and get in a few sessions in person.

Really awesome crew and team and everyone is so so supportive of each other. Go Titans!

From the moment Chris took me on as a client, he ensured I felt part of the team. Chris and Sara have dedicated their efforts to ensure that each member of the team is closely monitored and diets are adjusted weekly so that you do not tire of the same old food week in and week out. I had an amazing experience and transformed my body in a way I had never done before. Overall I lost 32lbs in order to compete in a Men's Physique show in Hawaii and looked/felt great. They really care about their clients and make it a point to ensure you feel that way. Each week my updates were quickly accomplished and new meal plan sent in a very fast manner. I highly recommend Chris and Sara, and have full faith in their abilities to help anyone in their fitness goals.

Chris gave me a workout regimen along with the perfect personalized meal plan that included weekly adjustments based on how my body was reacting to the food! This allowed my physique to go through an amazing transformation in a very short time period. By the 12 week mark, my physical conditioning had far surpassed what I thought was ever attainable. Chris felt that I could really benefit from 3 more weeks of training, so I listened to his guidance. On January 10th I made my men’s physique debut at Jon Lindsay’s Muscle Contest 2015 NPC Western Cup in Los Angeles, CA. I placed 2nd in Novice and 5th in the open division!! I could not be happier with my results, but other than that I felt like I was in the best physical shape of my life and my health had never been at that level, I felt great! Coach Ford did exactly what he promised and took me from weighing 210 pounds to a lean but still very muscular 185. I feel extremely blessed to have Chris in my corner; his extensive knowledge of nutrition, fitness, and competing is top notch. This whole experience really has been life changing and I cannot wait to move forward with Coach Ford and Team Titan!!

Thus far, Coach Ford has put me in a place where my body has been allowed to transform into something I wasn't sure that I could achieve. His nutrition and fitness planning has helped improve my overall health while making my physique look presentable on stage. I would certainly refer Titan Fitness to those looking to compete as well as those looking to improve their lifestyles. -Louis
