Testimonials

I started working with Rich back in December 2009 to get help with dropping some bodyfat so I could compete one day. Over the course of 9 months we have lost 70lbs and are on our way to competing in my first show. I would like to thank Rich and the entire TKO Nutrition family for their help and support. Loyal friend and customer forever, Julius Washington NSCA-CPT

I first met Richard and April Stone, owners of City Blends and founders of TKO Nutrition (www.TKO.nutrition.com) about 18 months ago. I was just an average guy that was sedentary and ate too much of the wrong foods. After talking with Richard several times I realized that he was very knowledgeable of nutrition, diets, and weight training. He and April also impressed me since they both live what they preach and have several awards to back them up. Once, when I was buying one of his delicious and beneficial smoothies he asked me what I wanted to achieve with my workouts? I didn't have the heart to tell him I really wasn't working out I just liked the smoothies and wanted a supplement to do it for me. Finally, I confessed that I wanted to loose weight and add muscle, just like everyone else. Richard told me that if I did my part he would do his part by helping with my diet and answering questions as they came up. We started with a diet to loose the weight and fat. Wow, did it work. I lost 33 pounds in 8 weeks. During those weeks I did have to lower my weight that I was lifting in the gym slightly but Richard said that was normal and just hang in there. During my dieting phase I went from a 34 inch waist to a 30 inch waist. When the weight loss diet was finished Richard gave me several helpful ideas on sensible eating. My job requires a lot of traveling and he also had ideas that made it easier since he has been in the same position. I committed 4 to 5 days a week to the gym. It does require dedication that will be difficult as first but well worth the effort. It was exciting to see the progress, which really didn’t take that long. My measurements as of today are: Chest: 48 inches. Waist: 32 inches. Biceps: 18 inches. Thighs: 26 inches. I think I forgot to mention that I am 5'7" and 61 years old. Once you start eating right and exercising regularly you will soon understand that it is a lifestyle. But, it is a lifestyle that will make proud. You will also learn that there are many opinions, articles, and weird ideas out there, so, it is great to have someone like Richard and April in your corner. Good Luck

Selecting a trainer is one of the most important decisions one can make when they decide on either training for a physique competition or just getting into real shape. I have worked with other trainers in the Austin & Houston area, who because they are in shape attempt to peddle themselves as the 'guru trainers'. These trainers carry themselves with an air of arrogance and conceit, which once they were paid, ultimately led to their apathetic attitude towards clients' goals and constant unavailability. Rich Stone is NOT one of these cheerleaders 'do nothing but seek all the credit in you success' type of trainers that I have worked with in the past. Rich is a no-nonsense, straight forward, tell it like it is trainer. Through his guidance and TKO Nutrition diet plan I was able to go from 230lbs. down to 178lbs in 12 weeks! Other trainer's programs lasted 16-24 weeks, leaving me exhausted and burnt out. Not Rich's. His plan and counsel brought me to the best shape I have ever been in.... in HALF THE TIME!!! I will continue to seek his advice, and through it I will continue to win. When you're ready to hear the truth and push beyond where you are, When you're ready to be YOUR best... Then you're ready to meet Rich! - Christopher Baugh

In October of 2007, I weighed about 255lbs and was around 22-25% body fat. Then in January of 2008, I decided to join the Marine Corps. However, the Marine Corps has strict standards for physical fitness and I had to drop some weight and get in shape prior to boot camp. That is when I came to Richard for assistance. He formulated a program that helped get in the best shape of my life. I left for boot camp in April of 2008, and my life has been a success story every since. Post boot camp, I continue to rely on the products, service and coaching from Richard and TKONutrition.com to keep me combat ready. Semper Fi!

I really didn't realize how far I had let myself go until Richard and I were reunited via his TKONutrition.com Facebook Fanpage. Upon reconnecting, I asked Rich to help me get back into shape. After a few months of 'relearning' what it is like to eat for health, I have significantly improved my health by lowering my blood pressure, dropping unnecessary weight and looking better than I EVER have. My wife was so impressed with my results, she hired April to develop her a plan as well. Needless to say, Rich and April have made us both believers and we are only just begininng to set higher goals!

Rich and April with TKONutrition.com have shown me that looking/feeling good and succeeding as a father and in business are NOT mutually exclusive. If you work smarter and are armed with science and knowledge you can work half as hard and have BETTER results than the days when I lived in the gym with a chicken breast half hanging out of my mouth. They have the pedigree, the experience and the HARDWARE/TROPHIES that prove that they are the best in the business. If I take the hours I have saved based on their plans and multiplied it by what I consider my value per hour, they have saved me over $10,000.00 and that figure is growing. I made a choice to grow up and have life balance and who would have thought that it would have me in the best shape of my entire life. I have a team that thinks for me and develops a plan based on my lifestyle and time. Now my next goal is to do a show, get on stage and show that you can be a grown and balanced adult AND LOOK THE WAY YOU WANT TO LOOK. I can’t do it alone and had I continued to try I would have failed. Thank you Rich and April for taking the personal time with me to show me what I was capable of.
