Why Fitness is Failing at Fat Loss: A 6-Week Masterclass with Josh Henkin & Jessica Bento, Physical Therapist
We live in a time when fitness has never been more accessible. Gyms, apps, online programs, and trendy workouts are everywhere. Yet despite having more “fitness” than ever, sustainable fat loss continues to be one of the biggest struggles for clients and coaches alike. Why? Because the models we’ve been relying on are outdated and they simply don’t work for the real people we serve.
For decades, the industry has leaned heavily on the calories in, calories out model. While energy balance is part of the picture, it leaves out critical factors that influence body composition and health. Chronic pain, stress levels, dysregulated nervous systems, depression, trauma, sleep quality, poor relationships with food, and even socioeconomic pressures all play an enormous role in how people lose or don’t lose weight. Ignoring these realities doesn’t just stall progress; it fails the people who need our help most.
That’s why strength coach Josh Henkin and physical therapist Jessica Bento created this 6-week masterclass. Together, they’ll challenge outdated fat loss narratives and introduce a more effective, compassionate, and science-informed framework. This program isn’t about chasing numbers on a scale it’s about understanding the person behind the goal.
Across six weeks, you’ll learn why traditional fat loss programs fall short, how to integrate nervous system regulation into training, and strategies to support clients through the psychological and social challenges that influence weight management. By shifting the focus from “fixing fat loss” to empowering the individual, you’ll walk away with tools that create real, lasting impact.
If you’re ready to break free from ineffective models and start helping people in a way that honors the complexity of their lives, this masterclass will change how you think about fat loss and how you coach forever.
