Who am I?

Hi I'm Theron Merrick

I wasn’t born fit—I built this. And you can too.

I’m just a regular guy, a husband, father, snowboarder who used to feel completely stuck in a body I didn’t recognize. I was over 300lbs, exhausted, and embarrassed to even step on the scale. I lost that 93 pounds utilizing the Keto diet (which I DO NOT recommend). Cutting calories to extreme low levels, and eating pitiful amounts of protein in fear of kicking myself out of ketosis and sure, the weight came off… but I torched muscle, wrecked my metabolism, and ended up just skinny fat. To the point my wife told me I looked like I was sick.

That comment shifted me down a different path. I became a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach and committed myself to learning and educating myself in what actually works not the fads, not the gimmicks, but the science of long-term body transformation.

My mission is simple: to help busy high-performing parents build the bodies, energy, and confidence they need to lead their families by example.

This isn’t about restriction, starvation, or grinding harder. This is about building a real foundation using evidence-based methods and proven habits that make fat loss INEVITABLE—no more yo-yo diets or broken promises. This isn’t just about your body. It’s about taking back control of your life.

Let’s make this the last time you ever have to start over.

"My name is Charles. I started with Theron in November of 2021 at 290lbs, as of May 2022 I weigh 240lbs. I've consistently lost weight week after week. Theron taught me the tools of diet and exercise combined. I'm the strongest I've ever been and look forward to staying strong and getting leaner with Theron and Gym R.A.T. Coaching!"

"I was 238 pounds and did not have the stamina to complete log runs or hikes. I could not hunt as hard as I wanted to, and I knew that if I wanted to continue to hunt with my 13-year-old son and my grandchildren, I needed to make a drastic change. I am now 216 pounds, and for my 49th birthday, I completed a half marathon and spent fourteen days in the backcountry elk hunting. Through it all, I felt better than I could have ever imagined."

- Keith Sandy

"I am stronger and my body feels so much better. I have lifted weight I could only dream of before and I can feel myself progressing every day. I feel more confident and comfortable. I have also learned how to better fuel my body to reach my goals. Following a training program and a macro tracker has taught me discipline and kept my motivation up. It’s not just a hobby to me anymore, but a lifestyle that I truly enjoy."

How Will Gym R.A.T. Coaching Get YOU Results?

We Don’t Guess. We Follow a Proven System — The Pyramid of Success.

You don’t need more “tips.” You need a plan that survives real life.

If you’re a high-performing parent, you already know how to work hard. The problem isn’t effort. It’s that most fitness advice isn’t built for your schedule, your stress, or your body. You get a generic program, a vague “eat clean” rule, and a guilt trip when you can’t keep it up.

Gym R.A.T. Coaching exists for parents who are done guessing and ready to build a capable body for life with a system that creates awareness, builds consistency, and holds up during chaotic weeks.

Here’s how we do it:

  • 🧱 1. FOUNDATION: Awareness + Behavior Change (the part everyone skips)

    Fat loss isn’t a motivation problem. It’s an awareness and systems problem.
    We don’t “hype you up.” We build habits, routines, and guardrails that keep you moving forward even when life gets messy. If you’re stuck, we don’t pile on more workouts or stricter rules. We go back to the foundation and fix the real bottleneck.

    What this looks like:

    • Clear minimum standards for chaotic weeks (“If X happens, I will do Y”)

    • A realistic routine that fits your work + family calendar

    • Accountability with extreme ownership—no excuses, no shaming

  • 🥩 2. NUTRITION: Tracking that creates results (without food rules)

    We don’t do fad diets, detoxes, or restriction cosplay.
    We use tracking to create awareness, because awareness is what makes change possible. You’ll learn how to fuel for fat loss and performance while still living like a normal parent.

    What this looks like:

    • Simple targets that work in the real world

    • Flexible eating that keeps your favorite foods in moderation

    • Skills you can maintain without being micromanaged forever

  • 💪 3. TRAINING: Capability-first strength (not bodybuilder workouts)

    You’re not a bodybuilder. You don’t need body-part splits and two-hour sessions.
    You need movement-based training that makes you stronger where life demands it: push, pull, hip hinge, knee bend, and core. Everything is programmed with a reason, progressed over time, and adjusted to your mechanics, because you’re a person, not a template.

    What this looks like:

    • Purposeful compound training that translates to real life

    • A schedule that fits work, travel, and kid chaos

    • Training that makes you more functional, not more fragile  

  • 🔥 WHAT YOU GET ON THE OTHER SIDE

    You stop “starting over.”
    You know exactly what to do, why you’re doing it, and how to keep doing it when motivation drops.

    The outcome isn’t just a leaner body.
    It’s a more capable parent: stronger, more energized, more confident—and leading by example at home because your health finally matches the standard you live by everywhere else.



    If you’re ready to stop guessing and start executing, the next step is simple:
    Apply for coaching.

    We’ll assess where you are, identify what’s actually holding you back, and build a plan you can follow in your real life—not your imaginary “perfect week.”

Yes, You Will See Results!

I know it is a big claim but, as long as you do the work, with the Pyramid of Success online coaching program, you will learn how to finally take control of your fitness and nutrition on your terms, for life.

Why Most Coaching Fails (And Why This Doesn’t)

Most coaching programs sound good on paper—but here’s the truth:

  • They hand you a cookie-cutter meal plan that doesn’t fit your life.

  • They slash your calories so low you’re running on fumes.

  • They obsess over the scale but never fix the habits that caused the problem in the first place.

That’s why you end up losing the same 20 pounds, only to gain it right back.

I know, because I was that guy. And after six years of coaching other high-performers, I built the exact system I wish I had from day one.

💥 Here’s what makes this different:

  • "Trying to lose weight" becomes "living a healthy life"

  • Your habits get rewired so results become inevitable

  • You strength train to become capable not just "look good"

  • Create sustainability so you never have to start over again

We don’t just chase quick weight loss—we create the foundation that makes fat loss (and keeping it off) inevitable.

This isn’t another diet. It’s the last program you’ll ever need—because we build it into your life, not the other way around.

👉 Ready to stop starting over? Let’s get to work.

What's Included In The Program..

NUTRITION

Nutrition Tracking and Guidance

Most people are busting their ass in the gym and still not seeing results, because they’re ignoring the #1 rule of body transformation: What gets tracked gets managed, and what gets managed gets changed.

Inside my program, we give you the exact tools and strategies to take control of your nutrition without restriction, confusion, or guesswork.

Here’s how we make fat loss simple and sustainable:

  • Habit Development
    You’ll learn how to structure your meals around your lifestyle so that eating for your goals becomes second nature. No more food guilt. No more decision fatigue. Just crystal-clear direction and confidence in what you’re doing.
  • Meal Prep Made Stupid Simple
    We’ll show you how to build a nutrition system that fits your schedule, hits your macros, and doesn’t require 3 hours of chopping veggies on a Sunday.
    You’ll know what to eat, how to prep it, and how to stay consistent even when life gets chaotic.
  • Mastering Energy Balance (Without Starving)
    You’ll know exactly how much you should be eating to lose fat or build muscle, no guessing, no hoping. Just data-backed precision that fuels your goals and keeps you in control, not hungry and miserable.

This is about building a nutrition system for life, one that works with your body, not against it. No more crash diets. No more "starting over Monday." Just sustainable strategies, lifelong results, and a body that performs as good as it looks.

WORKOUTS

Workouts Based in Science AND Evidence at Your Finger Tips

No one likes wasting time in the gym, especially when you’ve got a family to raise and a life to live.

That’s why my training program isn’t just about working out, it’s about making every rep count, so you can get in, get out, and keep moving forward. With my proven training system delivered through an easy-to-use workout app, you’ll:

  • Build Muscle Efficiently
    No fluff, no guesswork. Just strategic strength training designed to maximize every minute you spend in the gym. You’ll build lean muscle, torch fat, and walk out feeling like a machine.
  • Eliminate Aches & Pains
    These workouts don’t just make you look better, they make you feel better. We address weak links, improve movement patterns, and strengthen the joints so you can say goodbye to nagging pain and actually enjoy training again.

  • Unlock Total Body Functionality
    This isn’t just about biceps and abs, it’s about becoming stronger, more mobile, and more capable in everything you do. From chasing your kids around to crushing it on the slopes or in the boardroom - your body will finally work for you, not against you.

📲 Delivered straight to your phone, with form videos, tracking, and everything you need to stay consistent and get results fast. Get stronger, feel better, and take control of your fitness, for good.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Weekly Check-Ins

The real secret to building the body of your dreams? It’s not just workouts and macros… it’s accountability.

Let’s be real, life gets busy, motivation fades, and even the best plans fall apart without someone in your corner. That’s why accountability is the backbone of my coaching program. With weekly check-ins, we keep you dialed in, on track, and making progress, even when life throws curveballs.

Here’s what that looks like:

  • Progress Pics & Measurements
    Because the scale lies, and your progress is more than just a number. We track the real changes in your body composition so you can see exactly how far you’ve come.

  • Mindset & Feedback Check-Ins
    Every week, we dive into what’s working, what’s not, and how you’re feeling mentally and physically, because how you feel matters just as much as how you look.
  • Trackable Metrics That Drive Results
    We monitor performance, energy, biofeedback, and more, so we can make smart, strategic adjustments to keep your momentum going, week after week.

This isn’t a “set it and forget it” plan. This is hands-on support from a coach who actually gives a damn.

You're not doing this alone, and that’s exactly why it works.

HABIT DEVELOPMENT 

Daily Habit Tracker

Diets fail. Habits win.

If you want to lose fat and keep it off, you don’t need another 30-day challenge. You need a lifestyle built on habits that make success automatic. Inside this program, we focus on real habit formation, so you’re not relying on willpower, motivation, or restriction to get results.

You’ll build the habits that allow you to:

  • Lose Fat and Keep It Off for Life
    No more yo-yo dieting. No more starting over.
    Just simple, repeatable actions that make fat loss a byproduct of how you live.
  • Live in a Strong, Capable Body
    Training becomes part of who you are. You’ll build a body that moves better, feels better, and performs better in the gym, and in life.
  • Build a Whole-Health Lifestyle
    We’re not just focusing on your body. We’re dialing in your sleep, stress, recovery, nutrition, and mindset, so you feel great and stay consistent long after the program ends.

This is how we create sustainability. By helping you become the person who doesn’t need another diet ever again.

Here is my promise to you...

I can’t promise that you’ll become an instant success story.

I can’t promise that you’ll achieve a physique beyond your wildest dreams.

I can’t promise that you’ll never struggle with your weight again.

Why can’t I promise those things?

Because I don’t know if you’re going to do the work.

You may do absolutely nothing and in that case, you’ll get nothing in return.

I’m going to assume that since you’re here and you’ve made it this far that you are NOT the type of person to sit on an opportunity like this and do nothing with it.

And because you’re going to implement and do the work, then I CAN promise that you’ll see a noticeable difference in a very short period of time.

How Soon?

Well, the sooner you enroll, the sooner you’ll reap the benefits.

So let’s not delay any longer.
