Reply from The One PercentJun 2, 2026
Hey David. Coach Nick here, responding directly.
We hold our guys to a very high standard inside The One Percent. That is what the brand is built on. Just because you invest in our program does not mean you will succeed. It takes hard work.
Transparency is non-negotiable to us, so when someone decided to we open the actual data and let it speak. I refuse to hide behind corporate language and give a typical PR response, because this program changed my life as well as many others.
Here is the deal.
ON THE DEFAMATION CLAIM
The statement you made regarding the google review is incorrect. If you open the Google review I left on your business. The first sentence reads "Was a client of a fitness coaching program that I am apart of." I never claimed to be a client of your law firm. I made it clear from the opening line that I was reviewing you as someone you hired to coach. That is documented public feedback from a service provider about a customer. Since you are a lawyer, I am sure you know that is not defamation. You left a public review about us. I left a public review about you. Public reviews work both ways.
ON THE PROGRAM ITSELF
Our coaching is built around metabolic priming. We progressively add food in for months to rebuild capacity BEFORE we ever pull it back for a cut. The cut is where most of the body composition change actually happens. We explain this clearly on the call before anyone signs up. Compliance is the cost of admission.
Here is what your Trainerize data shows
Start date: September 23, 2025
Cut phase began: January 2, 2026(you quit the 2nd week of January)
Days nutrition logged across the engagement: 72 of 217 (33%)
Habit completion: 532 of 2064 (26%)
Here is some more data on your time in the program,. On the days you DID log, here is how accurate the tracking was against the macro targets we set for you. We have all of these records as a visual reference as well. We cannot fabricate these.
Days where protein landed within +/-10g of target: 15%
Days where carbs landed within +/-10g of target: 18%
Days where BOTH protein and carbs hit target range: 9%
Average miss from your daily calorie target: 165 calories
Our standard for any nutrition adjustment is +/-1 to 10g on macros. You hit that standard on 9% of the days you logged. Even when you were tracking, you were not executing.
Weeks into the cut you logged consistently: 1
Following weeks: logging dropped to 1 day, then to zero, and stayed at zero every week through May. You quit before the cut had a chance to do what the cut is designed to do.
ON THE GOOGLE REVIEW AND THE DEROGATORY LANGUAGE
I stand by every word I wrote. How someone shows up in one area is usually how they show up in others. A client who pays for work, fails to do their part, blames the provider when results do not come, then reaches for derogatory language and threatens with lawyers when the receipts get pulled out, is not someone I would hire to handle anything important in my life. Disappointed in the framing, not surprised by it. That is consistent with the pattern.
TO ANYONE ELSE READING THIS
People like this come and go in coaching. Always have, always will. The reason we hold the line every single time is because for every one client who quits and blames the program, there are hundreds of guys inside our community who are showing up, doing the work, and changing their lives(we have A LOT of proof to show for it). Guys who do not quit. Guys who carry what we call the One Percent mentality. If you want to see what the work actually produces, those are the stories worth looking at. Not this one.
For anyone who wants to see the Google review I left on David's business in full, here are the receipts:

David, the door is open if you ever want to come back, actually do the work required, and finish what you started. Same terms as the day you signed up.
