Dfitzacademy Reviews 

Excellent coaching he keeps me accountable and motivates me. It feels good to know Im on the right path to my goals and seeing and feeling results.

It been a great program. I have lost over 50+ lbs. I recommend who ever wants to lose weight. Coach very friendly.

The personal experience and the accountability that Darcy has set forth in this program is unlike any other program I have ever been involved with. I have tried multiple programs to lose weight over 20+ years and Darcy’s it the only one that has worked for me and is sustainable. Feeling better, looking better and happier than I have felt in years thanks to this program!

Darcy has helped me not just lose weight but transform my eating habits. I’ve tried several different “diets” and this has been less a diet and more a way to slowly lose weight while also gaining confidence.

As a coach Darcy is always available and is not afraid to call you out when needed. He is also an empathetic voice and encourages consistency over large results. The times of doubted myself the most, he knows what to say to stay in the game.

My life is forever better for doing this program.

I’ve been doing various diets basically my whole adult life. I would lose weight, sometimes major weight, and put it back on. Originally this was just “another“ diet in my mind when I started. I’ve been doing this for six weeks and found a steady weight loss. Darcy has got me to move and walk every day. The app is very easy to use and encourages you to stay on track.
What’s different about this one?
The difference is the personal one-on-one daily coaching. The difference is the group chats with a group of guys in this with you. The difference is not doing this on your own. Very early on you will see what makes this different and successful. Now I look forward to the future.

Darcy is an awesome coach. Encouraging, tough love when it’s necessary, but never negative. And the plan is simple. No major life changes right away. Simple things that over time, make big differences. Best decision of my life to do this!!

I became chronically ill 2019 with an autoimmune disease. In 2019 & again in 2021 I was on medication (Prednisone & immuno suppressors) which triggered a weight gain putting me over 350 lbs.

I struggled over the past few years to bring my weight down safely without using surgery or more medications. This program changed all that. I am down over 20 lbs. since starting 2 months ago and feel like I am in control for the first time in years. I absolutely recommend this program.

I was hesitant to join Dfitzacademy because I’ve tried so many different things to lose weight. I’m a former football player and I have been over 300 pounds my entire adult life. I’ve always been active working out and thought I was eating right. Darcy and this program showed me that my nutrition was all wrong. In the past 3 months since I've joined the program, I have lost 35 pounds! I’m so glad I pulled the trigger in joining the program! I needed a push in the right direction and Darcy pointed me in that direction. It is well worth it!

I have been over weight for over 10 years and the past 3 years I ballooned to 353 lbs. I was lucky to find Dfitzacademy and start my new life 4 weeks ago. Since then I have lost 29 lbs and I feel so much better and I’m my way to a better healthier life. Thank you Darcy and all the other guys in the academy.

For most of my life, I was never “the big guy.” In my younger and middle-adult years, I was athletic, played a variety of sports, and was healthy.

But over the last 20–25 years, life—and “the good life”—gradually caught up with me.

I went from having a “dad bod,” to being a little overweight, then chunky, and eventually found myself staring at a number on the scale that was just shy of 300 pounds.

Like a lot of people, I tried to fix it on my own. Over the years, I tried different diets and approaches. Two years ago, I even had some success with intermittent fasting and lost a significant amount of weight. But the problem was that I couldn't sustain it. Eventually, the weight came back.

Then I stopped getting on the scale altogether.

I didn't want to know how bad things had become. Honestly, I had reached a point where I was beginning to accept that I was simply going to be a fat guy who continued getting fatter—and eventually I’d have to deal with whatever consequences came with that. It’s almost hard to admit that I even began to plan for my early passing. I wrote “sorry I’m not here” notes left in the home safe to my wife, my kids and my grandkids.

My doctor had already told me that I was prediabetic, but even that hadn't been enough to get me moving.

My real wake-up call came when a good friend told me that complications related to diabetes had contributed to her becoming legally blind. Suddenly, her story didn't feel like someone else's problem. It felt like a possible preview of my own future.

Not long afterward, I came across a post from Darcy at DFITZ Academy. It was directed specifically at men who were approaching 300 pounds.

What immediately caught my attention was how straightforward he was. There were no gimmicks, no promises of overnight transformations, and no crazy restrictions. His approach was about building a realistic, sustainable plan—and helping guys like me actually stick with it.

I'll be honest: signing up required commitment. Not just a commitment to change, but a financial commitment as well. I hesitated at first.

But then I had to be honest with myself.

For nearly 30 years, I had been trying to do this on my own. I knew the basics. I understood that losing weight meant changing my eating habits, becoming more active, and consistently burning more calories than I consumed.
The problem wasn't that I lacked access to information.

The problem was that, for me, information alone hadn't been enough.

Twenty-five years of stepping on and off the scale had proven that trying to be a “lone wolf” wasn't working.

So I decided to do something different.

What I've found with Darcy is more than just a diet or exercise plan. It's accountability. It's having someone who knows what you're trying to accomplish, pays attention to your progress, encourages you when things are going well, and helps get you back on track when you're struggling.

That personal attention has made a real difference for me.

I'm not going to tell anyone that this is effortless. It's not. You have to be willing to commit to yourself and put in the work.

But if your story sounds anything like mine — if you've spent years trying different diets, losing weight only to gain it back, and repeatedly promising yourself that “this time will be different” — then maybe it's time to consider doing something different.

For me, that meant finally admitting that I needed more than another diet.

I needed accountability. I needed support. And I needed someone in my corner.

That's what I've found with Darcy and DFITZ Academy, and that's why I'm happy to
recommend him to anyone who is serious about making a lasting change.

I have been with the program for 13 weeks and have learned and benefited from not just Darcy but his staff and our community at large, at first I was hesitant to join but took that leap of faith and jumped in and have not been disappointed, if you do the work and stay focused and consistent you will reach your goals, if I need Darcy he is there if I need guidance from the team its there , I feel that I have taken control of my new lifestyle and its all thanks to Dfitz , being held accountable and striving towards my weight loss goals and getting my confidence back to live a better healthier life is on its way because of this program. If you are thinking about it Do it ,it will change your life for the better , ive lost 40 lbs. In 3 months and I feel amazing and you will too, trust in Darcy he is a devoted and trustworthy man with character and professional understanding, he has my back and will have yours as well!!!!

Darcy’s been wonderful, keeping me accountable, lending me advice when asked and checking in every day. He’s helped me to tweak my lifestyle in just the right way to allow me to begin a steady downward trend in my weight that I haven’t seen in years. The best way to make the best of your experience with Dfitz Academy is to follow his advice and guidance and find ways of your own to augment your progress without overexerting yourself.

A no bs approach to a real lifestyle change. If your looking for a change and want to be true to yourself. Give Darcy a try.
This isnt a fad diet or a crossfitter that pushes something that really isnt realistic for men over 300lbs. Its a no BS system that just works. Darcy and the community are always there for you for support or ideas on anything your struggling about.
Some people complain that it isn't cheap, which it isn't. But its cheaper than a hospital stay or a life on medication for all sorts of weight related illness.
If your tired of always putting everyone else ahead of yourself and want to do something for yourself and for your family, dont think twice about going this program. You will not regret it.

I was hesitant to book a time at first, but looking back, that one-hour phone call genuinely changed my life. I decided to join the program, and with the support, structure and accountability from the team, I went on to lose 110 lbs and now still keeping it off

What made the program different was that it didn’t just help me lose the weight, it taught me how to keep it off. I learned how to make better decisions around food, build routines that fit my life and recover from an imperfect day without completely falling off track.

Even after finishing the program, I’ve continued using everything I learned and have been able to sustain my results. It never felt like another extreme diet or temporary fix.. Darcy gave me the knowledge, habits and confidence to manage my weight independently for the long term. Booking that first call was easily one of the best decisions I’ve made.

I’ve been a client for approximately three weeks. Darcy has delivered on everything that he promised. Always available, consistently checking in to make sure that things are going well. The plan, the app, the one on one, the group function, all have been helpful in getting me to a point of setting good habits that will last far beyond my time with the program. Well worth the money.

For me, it’s all about the accountability factor. I love the app because it allows me to plan out my calories before I go out so that I don’t get off track. I first saw Darcy’s Facebook advertisement, it was literally as if he was staring into my soul. I was absolutely every single thing that he mentioned about being over 300 pounds and just how miserable I felt all of the time about it.
If I’m being perfectly honest, the initial investment had me concerned, but I’m so glad that I took the leap of faith in moving forward. I’ve only been on the program for about 2 1/2 weeks and I’m already down 22 pounds.
The most amazing part of it all is that I’m eating under 2000 cal and yet I don’t have cravings or the afternoon insulin spikes and crashes and my energy level is absolutely through the roof. The only activity that I really do right now is that I get out and walk most days. I try to do no less than 4,000 to 5,000 steps, but there are several days when I have the time to do it, I will walk 4 miles at a time and put in approximately 8,500 to 10,000 thousand steps or so on those days.
Hands down, I would recommend this program to anybody who is serious about wanting to get their weight under control and more importantly, their life under control. I really enjoy that Darcy checks in on me almost every day. I’m the type of personality that I never want to let anyone down and especially myself. Having that extra support really means a lot!
Thanks Darcy for everything you do, this program is a game changer for me.

Darcy and his academy is a real experience with a real coach guiding you everyday. Keeping you motivated, Darcy has been such a blessing in my life. I have last 15 already in a month and it keeps going down. He is also very communicative, supportive and offers the best motivation. I can’t thank him enough and I can’t wait for more.

The only way this program works is if your honest with yourself and you've made the choice to make a change in your life. With that being said this program taught me everything I needed to know to be successful and it was worth it. I have more energy to do the things I stopped doing. Less pain from the excessive weight I was caring around. I was unsure about joining the program in the beginning but extremely glad I did. Also if you start to struggle and doubt yourself the community along with Darcy help you stay on track. So if you're ready to make that change you should definitely follow through I didn't regret it one bit

It has been a great experience and I’m seeing results. It’s very easy to enter all the information you have to do (food, weight, and daily goals.) Darci has been consistent on checking in with you and seeing how you are doing and if you have questions. If you are determined, want to do the work, and make some good decisions with your eating habits, the pounds will come off. The program is definitely not cheap but you get what you pay from. I’ve only been doing it for a week and half but I feel like I’m headed in the right direction to extended my life, and that’s almost priceless.

Darcy has an amazing program. 9 months in currently. I’m loosing weight and still eating fast food. He starts with where you are and builds onto the program to make every new “challenge” easier to accomplish while still reaching new milestones. The community is also amazing. Guys like you fighting the same fight to better ourselves. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is interested or on the fence. Working with Darcy has been so easy and he’s always there to support you and help you.
