Fletcher Free Library Newsletter says “Reading this engaging book over the holidays when treats were abundant, I came across a pertinent analogy: fat loss compared to the practice of Buddhism. For instance, if the disciple leans too far to asceticism he risks starving to death; too far in the other direction is over indulgence; the key is to find a balance in the middle. Ian Kelley’s most recent book strives to reveal the middle way to fat loss. Ian is a certified personal trainer, health advocate and award winning bodybuilder who works in the Burlington (VT) area as a chef. This, his second book, available on Amazon.com (and his website), is a hard hitting and valuable approach to people seeking to change their lives by delving into the mental/psychological aspects of fat loss and re-examining the mainstream food industry. Ian offers recipes like Real Shepard’s Pie and Turkey Dinner Made Healthy, but perhaps more valuable are the revelations of mainstream media, government and the healthcare industry which do not appear to be on the side of healthy, lasting fatloss. In example after example, Ian discusses why an educated consumer is a healthy consumer. The mainstream food industries look at their bottom line when it comes to food production and presentation in America. Food items such as bagels, granola, and sugar substitutes are marketed as being healthy but are generally not, says Kelley. Healthy food can be found in health food stores where the consumer will pay more, but the average American spends more on his car than on groceries that could define a healthy lifestyle. Coconut oil, chia seeds and cinnamon sprinkled on cereal and salads may seem out there, but as Ian says, reconfiguring ones’ relationship with food to maintain a balanced diet, will truly result in fat loss.”

“ I lost 16 pounds and dropped 4 pants sizes, 14 to 8. I feel way more energetic and healthy. Working out with Ian’s been a blast!” Wynter Snow 10-16-10
My name is John Lanzetta and I have worked with Ian for a total of 24 sessions. First and foremost, working out with Ian has been a life changing experience. Prior to training with Ian, I had been dealing with recurring injuries in my shoulders and knees for over fifteen years. This severely limited my training and I had given up on being able to do any major lifting exercises. Amazingly, after only twelve sessions, I was doing squats, dead lifts, bench press, pull-ups and dips without any issues. In addition, my body fat decreased from 19.5% to 12% while maintaining my body weight by following his training and nutritional advice. If you are interested in improving your health, I would highly recommend training with Ian without reservation. He is extremely professional and will make your training experience an enjoyable one.
“If I may say, I appreciate very much your class and the time you put into it.
I love to hear the laughter of the younger exercisers. It is all so much fun. I appreciate your encouragement to be in the class in the first place also.”

In April, I ran my first half marathon and having Ian Kelley as my trainer was a big part of my success. I have been training with Ian for over 2 years and have benefited both in strength and cardio from his workouts. He put together a strength training program specifically for running, which helped me improve my speed and kept me injury free. Along with Ian’s personal training sessions, I attend his boot camp once a week. The combination of Ian’s boot camp workouts and my personal training sessions allowed me to beat my personal goal for completing my first half marathon by 12 minutes! Working with Ian has given me confidence regarding my athletic abilities. Thank you Ian!
Before and After
I started training with Ian Kelley for one purpose to gain muscle definition in my legs back in November of 2009. I really didn’t know about the nutritional end of training and really didn’t have any particular goals at the time I signed up for personal training with Ian. Once a week I met with Ian to train legs, but those sessions turned into something else, a nutritional lesson, fun times, hard times and most important a goal, to compete in a Figure Competition in May of 2010.
Ian suggested I hire a personal trainer for this endeavor ( a woman) mainly cause of the required posing, I did.
Between Ian and my other Personal Trainer I reshaped my body in 5 months and competed in my first Figure Competition.
Ian and I continued to work out together partnering with my other personal trainer, we went through my 5 month transformation, starting at 132lbs 23% Body Fat January 1st 2010.
There were many times I came in to train with Ian, physically and mentally wiped out, and Ian dragged me out of the dumps, re energized my goal on those dark days. I really don’t think I would have made it through if it wasn’t for Ian making training hard, yet fun, laughs and full of interesting nutritional tidbits that I live by now. I stepped on stage at 118Lbs, 12% Body Fat.
The pictures speak for themselves, hard work, consistency for life and it can happen.
Ian can map out your goal, work out plan and most important the nutritional part for any shape or size.
It’s very clear Ian is genuinely passionate about Nutrition and training by the way he just freely gives you info and hand outs, direct you to internet sites, always looking for fresh new ideas for his Bootcamps. Truly this is a trademark of someone that genuinely cares and wants to see you succeed. P.L.
“I lost 50 pounds in 3 months since I started training with Ian three days a week!”

In just five weeks, I have dropped from a size 14 to my pre-pregnancy size 10 pants. Ian Kelley’s Kick Butt Boot Camp and nutrition advice really works! I was hesitant to join the boot camp, as I prefer to do aerobic or yoga type exercise, but these activities were not helping me meet my weight loss goals. I really enjoy the combination of strength training and cardio that Ian has put together for his Boot Camp. Ian also offers a short nutrition talk following the class, and I have made some changes in my diet that are reasonable and work for my family, and busy life style (for example, I’ve added more fruit and vegetables and use nuts and dried fruit as snacks instead of packaged granola bars and other convenience foods).
I recently added one day a week of personal training with Ian. He has helped me set up a strength training program tailored to my goals and exercise preferences. Ian is a skilled fitness trainer, and I appreciate his ability to work with me at my current fitness level, while also motivating me to push myself to the next level.
I always thought I would work with a female trainer, but it’s been very comfortable working with Ian. I feel thankful to have his training expertise, nutrition advice and his continuous enthusiasm for our work together. I highly recommend Ian Kelley as a fitness trainer and Kick Butt Boot Camp instructor.

As the mother of two small peanuts I simply don’t have time to work out on a daily basis. Ian’s boot camp enables me to get a full body workout in just 3 hours a week. And he manages to strike a nice balance between a workout that it both intensive and supportive and easily adapted to a wide range of fitness levels.
Thanks so much for kicking our butts! You helped us shed almost 30 pounds! Looking forward to more burpees this fall.

I would recommend Ian’s Boot Camp to other people, it has improved my endurance and stamina in just a couple weeks. My clothes are fitting better and my belt is down two loops!

Dear Ian, We wanted to show our deep appreciation for leading us through two sessions of boot camp. You have helped us achieve our goals and adopt a healthier way of eating. We are feeling really good inside and out. I have always considered myself to be reasonably fit and a healthy eater. Well, boot camp took both of these things to a whole new level. We are both feeling really good about our bodies and are happy and healthy. That is the greatest gift of all. Thank you so much.

I joined Ian Kelley’s Kick Butt Boot Camp in Williston. In just 8 weeks I lost 24 pounds, I could feel my core muscles getting stronger, my body started slimming from my arms, to my stomach, to my legs. I have been focusing more on cardio, this class combines cardio with strength training which is what my muscles needed. At the end of each class Ian gives a little talk on nutrition which I adopted several of his suggestions. I highly recommend Ian Kelley’s Kick Butt Boot Camp class.

My name is Shannon and i am 39 years old.Considered myself to be in shape,But every time i looked in the mirror I felt and looked too skinny. Thanks to Ian Kelley`s book, I have gained over 15LBS of solid muscle mass in only 2 months. Worked out for years but could not increase my muscle mass. I am what you would call a hard gainer. Thanks to Ians book, I have found the perfect balance between working out and proper nutrition. My energy level is what I had when i was 18 years old and I feel great. Would most definately recommend this book to anyone that has problems with their energy level and/or with weight gain or loss of weight. I can’t believe how easy it was to change my bad eating habits and non productive workout habits to achieve my goals in less than 2 months. Ian’s book is easy to read and well thought out. The books gives great advice on how to cook foods that taste great without the harmful additives that slowly poison our body. I can’t wait to see the results I will be able to acomplish in the next 2 months. Thanks Ian!

The organic body was a great read. It taught me so much about nutrition. I had been working out and dieting for about a year. My gains were small and with supplements taken in abundance, I would see good gains come and go along with my money. I had always kept a very strict diet and when I met with Ian for the first time I thought I had a tight diet. After meeting with Ian and reading his book, it opened my eyes wide open to the food industry. I didn’t feel the same way when I left. I had gotten my body fat down to 10 percent but never able to go any lower. I have been continuing using the dieting tips and nutrition tips Ian taught in both his book and 1 on 1. I am now down to 8 percent. My whole outlook on nutrients has changed and for the better, this stuff works. I have real results now. Believe me I was so brainwashed by Muscle Mags. that I was scared to death to give up my whey protein. I thought I would lose everything and instead it was just the opposite. I have a long ways to go, but I feel more in control of my gains. I feel better and it’s all natural. In the past when I thought organic I would think of some hippie at woodstock with dreadlocks. Well bodybuilding is about being healthy to your body and having it run on all cylinders by putting in it, what god gave you not by what man created.
Having Ian as a trainer has been great. He put the intensity into my work outs. I always thought intensity was making a mean face and screaming at the weights and I learned real intensity comes for hard work. The work out programs I have done are top notch with top notch results. I myself am on a fitness staff and heading towards my ACSM certification and believe the information I learned about nutrition and working out with intensity with be the staple of the personal trainer I will become. I will carry the information passed down by Ian to me on with me though the journey on the way to the top of the fitness mountain.

Balanced, wholesome, practical, sound, usable advice. Too many adjectives? I can’t help it. These are the words that come to mind each time I read Ian Kelley’s book, The Organic Body.
I’ve been searching for a long time – looking for ideas that are simple enough to use daily, and solid enough to transform my physique. As a figure competitor, this process can be trying. There are so many texts and philosophies out there that are a contradiction to being natural, and whole. The moment I opened Kelley’s book, I felt relief, ease and comfort.
Kelley’s tips are kind and good to the human body. The moment I opened his book and started reading, I immediately found a sense of ease. I realized that – yes – I can be true to my natural self and live wholesomely. I felt ease when I began to apply the lifestyle to my body.
The Organic Body is in my hands everyday! When I cook, this book is lying open on my kitchen counter to the Recipes/Cooking Strategies section. My spices are in hand and I enjoy making his healthy, delicious meals. I also use his book to map out and plan workouts for the week, and am able to shop for groceries in intimidating health food and regular grocery stores with an informed and balanced knowledge and ease.
Kelley’s advice is practical, down to earth and immediately usable. He doesn’t talk down to his readers, and informs them as a friend in a relaxed, easy manner. I finally found a health book that didn’t make me feel small – rather whole. The Organic Body is balanced, sound and usable! I am so relieved to be able to ease my physique happily into a natural, wholesome body of work with the gracious guidance of Kelley’s Organic Body. Try it! It’s a treat that has enriched and nourished me – body and soul.- Andrena M.
When I first met Ian, I considered him just another guy in the gym that enjoyed weight training and someone who was in decent shape. We trained together occasionally and I noticed him make some gains, but nothing extraordinary. It wasn’t until a few years later, around the time when Ian really turned his attention toward organic foods and whole food supplements that I noticed some significant changes in his physique and state of mind. His proportion of lean muscle mass, vascularity, and muscle definition noticeably improved, plus his training focus seemed to be at higher level. Since then, that focus has propelled Ian into the world of natural bodybuilding and allowed him to excel in it, including bringing him the highest accolade in the sport, an overall title.

I lost 17 pounds in one month following Ian’s diet! I am getting stronger every week, have plenty of energy and I’m not hungry. I have been getting a lot of positive comments from people about my fat loss and I’m psyched to go to the gym! Oh and did you get my last email telling you how great I think your latest book is? By the way, I lost that last stubborn 5 pounds, Yay!

You are welcome to use my comments as a testimonial. I can’t believe I finally got down to 130 pounds, 129 as of this morning. Before I had to starve myself to reach this weight. At my worst I was 141 pounds and I was very unhappy. I started using Weight Watchers online 2 years ago, it helped me get down to about 132-135, but I had a hard time maintaining because I would get too hungry. Now I feel great and I’m not hungry. I still use the Weight Watchers but I’m more particular about what I eat then how much. My friends say I look healthy and my clothes are all looser. Bill loves the flavor of the coconut oil when I cook with it. I am also drinking less wine; I don’t seem to crave it. I’ve also noticed I have less bad breath.My friend may think I’m nuts but I’m enjoying my new “health hobby”.

“My name is Joe and I have been working with Ian Kelley for about 5 months. We set a goal when we started off to los 40 lbs. I started out at 260 lbs. Now 5 months later I have achieved that goal. I have been training 4 to 5 days a week with weights and also doing cardio and sauna. I feel better now than I ever imagined. I have been eating Ian’s diet this whole time on top of training. I eat 5-7 small meals a day. I never would have thought you would have to eat so much to lose weight. I am not calorie limited (on the diet) I can eat as much as I want of the allowed foods. I have not been doing it perfectly but I try and stick to it. The results have been amazing! I feel better about myself and am so much stronger. I also take Ian’s recommended natural supplements. The combination of all this has been constant weight loss!”
