“[My] trainer has been such a blessing in my life. I don’t see it in myself. There have been times when I have thought, ‘I can’t do this,’ and somehow she gets me to do it anyway.”
“She celebrates every win, no matter how small, and she is right there beside you on the days when you fall down, get frustrated, or just want to quit. She has a way of quietly reminding me why I started, why I chose myself, and why getting stronger—both physically and mentally—is worth it.”
“Somewhere along this journey, Marjan has become my ‘kick-you-in-the-butt’ trainer, but she has also become a friend. If you’re looking for someone who will listen to you, challenge you, believe in you, celebrate you, and stand beside you through the hard days, I cannot recommend her enough.”

Personal Training & Nutrition
The trap of the "skinny-fat" cycle and endless cardio.
Body recomposition coaching at Lighthouse Wellness Coach combines customized progressive resistance training with targeted macronutrient intake to drop body fat and build functional lean muscle simultaneously, avoiding the metabolic damage of crash dieting.
Most people who want to change their bodies turn to drastic calorie restriction and hours on the treadmill. While the bathroom scale might drop initially, much of that weight loss is precious muscle tissue and water, leaving you with a softer appearance, a sluggish metabolism, and intense cravings.
The moment normal eating resumes, the fat rebounds rapidly — often leaving you in a worse metabolic state than when you started. True physical transformation is not about shrinking; it is about changing your ratio of lean muscle to body fat.
The Lighthouse Approach
The science of simultaneous fat loss and muscle gain.
Body recomposition requires two complementary forces: progressive mechanical tension from structured resistance training to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, paired with a mild, controlled caloric deficit with adequate daily protein.
Marjan constructs an exact roadmap for your body. You lift heavy enough to signal muscle retention and growth, while eating enough nutritious whole foods to fuel workouts without storing excess body fat.

“What I appreciate most is that she supports me as a whole person. On the days when I need to be pushed, she pushes me. On the days when I need grace, she gives me that too.”
“I’ve grown stronger, more confident, and more intentional about taking care of myself because of her guidance. I don’t feel like just a number to her or like she gives cookie cutter advice. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants to see us become stronger in every sense of the word.”

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked
questions.
Have questions about Body Recomposition Coaching — Lose Fat & Build Muscle | Lighthouse Wellness Coach? Here are clear, straightforward answers.
Can someone really build muscle and burn fat at the same time?
Yes. When you provide an adequate stimulus through progressive resistance training and supply sufficient protein in a slight caloric deficit, your body pulls energy from stored adipose tissue while repairing and building muscle fibers.
How long does a body recomposition take to see visible results?
Most clients notice significant shifts in how their clothing fits and enhanced muscle tone within 4 to 6 weeks. Meaningful, lasting body transformations typically solidify over 12 to 16 weeks.
Do I have to track every single gram of food?
Not necessarily. We teach macro awareness, portion estimating, and hand-based measurement strategies that give you the benefits of macro tracking without unnecessary stress.
What equipment is required for body recomposition?
A set of adjustable dumbbells or access to gym equipment is ideal. Resistance training with progressive weight is essential to signal your body to retain and build muscle.
How do we measure progress if the scale does not move quickly?
In a recomposition, the scale can stay relatively stable while your waist drops several inches and your shoulders and glutes firm up. We use circumference measurements, photos, and strength milestones.
