Client Spotlight: Sophie

Zemer Method Client Spotlight: Sophie B. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sophie through my Accountability Coaching program via @getverb (https://instagram.com/getverb), and she came in with one clear mission: to get into the best shape of her life.

Balancing a high-powered career and constant travel, Sophie faced a lot of challenges—but that didn’t stop her. Some of her biggest wins on coaching include:

✅ Down 43lbs since starting in approximately 5 months
✅ Consistently nails every lift and hits her daily step goal
✅ Successfully transitioned into a maintenance phase after losing her family home in the California fires

Sophie is one of those rare, superhuman clients. No matter what life threw at her, she stayed locked in on her goals. Whether it was finding time to train in a hotel gym, meals on the go, or getting steps in between meetings—she made it happen.

She’s proof that you don’t need a perfect schedule or perfect conditions to see real, lasting progress. Just commitment, consistency, and the right support.

Sophie should be beyond proud of everything she’s accomplished as I am proud to have worked with her through this transformation. This is just her new beginning.
