While any skilled coach can help you lose weight, many people find that female weight loss coaches bring a unique kind of support—especially when dealing with the emotional side of health. They often have firsthand experience with challenges like hormone shifts, body image issues, or emotional eating, and they tend to focus on building habits that last.
Whether you’re navigating weight loss after pregnancy, dealing with stress-related eating, or just looking for a more relatable approach, here are some of the top female weight loss coaches who can help.
Mandy Meyer
After transitioning from couch potato to ultra-marathon runner, Mandy has dedicated her life to helping others do the same through smart, consistent changes.
Her signature coaching style is built around “small but daily” wins. As she shared on 40 kgs Lighter, when she had a stressful job, she’d promise herself “even if it’s only a 10-minute walk after work, do it—because ten minutes is better than nothing.”
Simran Khosla
Simran Khosla, known by her playful brand “Butt Like an Apricot,” is a full‑stack weight-loss coach, certified nutritionist, and corporate wellness trainer.
She built her online coaching business after noticing how many people in finance jobs (like her past colleagues) struggled with energy, stress, and fitness.
Tameika Gentles
Her journey began in university when she weighed nearly 230 lbs. She started researching nutrition and fitness, teaching herself through books and gym classes, eventually learning how to cook healthy meals and lift weights properly.
After nine months, she’d lost nearly 100 lbs. Today, Tameika helps thousands of clients, especially women, lose between 50 and 120 lbs through her “WeTransform” coaching program and retreats.
Kelly Story
After years of chasing corporate success, Kelly made a hard pivot to helping people change how they feel in their bodies without burning out or obsessing over calories. Her approach is practical, a little tough-love, and definitely anti-diet culture.
She runs a program called Permanent Weight Loss Coaching, but what she really teaches is how to make progress without hating the process. That means structured habits, simple meals that make sense in real life, and workouts that you’ll actually do.
Fernanda Shaw
Fernanda Shaw is the force behind Incredible As You Coaching, and she supports busy women aiming to drop 1–3 clothing sizes in 90 days through her “Balance Blueprint.”
Originally from Brazil and now based in Massachusetts, she became a NASM-certified personal trainer after moving to the U.S. in 2016, driven by a passion to turn her own fitness transformation into something she could share and teach.
Amanda Tress
Amanda Tress founded FASTer Way to Fat Loss after years of working with clients who were doing “everything right” yet not seeing results. Her signature approach combines intermittent fasting, carb cycling, macro tracking, and whole-food nutrition with 30-minute workouts.
Some critics note the fasting protocols, including optional 24‑hour fasts and macro focus, may be intense for beginners or hormonally sensitive clients. Still, the program’s standards are high, with top-tier certification from organizations like NASM, ACE, ISSA, and AFAA.
Rosi May
Rosi May is a UK-based fat loss and fitness coach who has helped hundreds of women transform their health and build confidence through personalized, no-fad coaching.
With a degree in Sports, Fitness, and Coaching and more than six years of industry experience, Rosi has built a reputation for delivering sustainable results without restrictive diets or unrealistic routines.
