The wedge
A chef who fights.
A fighter who cooks.
A system that’s not messing around.
Brian Ferguson cooked in Michelin restaurants in France before he ever weighed a protein shake. He trains and competes in MMA. He’s certified under George Lockhart — the same system that runs UFC championship weight cuts — and continues his education through The Fight Dietician and the UFC Performance Institute.
Most nutrition coaches sell a PDF and a Zoom call. Most chefs don’t understand how to get an athlete to a weigh-in. Brian does both, in person, in your kitchen and your gym.
Your plan is yours.
If it looks like every other client’s plan, I’ve failed. No cookie cutters. No upsells. No templated macros pretending to be personal.
“Trust the process, stay on track, and results will follow. I’m only as good as you are truthful.”
Drag to reveal — the line to the mat.
Featured athletes
The work, on
the people doing it.
Results, not stock testimonials. Competitors from Fierce Fighting, local BJJ circuits, and the gyms along the Wasatch Front.
“Brian’s got my weight on point and me in the best shape of my life. Another camp together — feeling strong into weigh-ins and fight day. Ready to rock.”
Marco Sanchez
MMA · Fierce Fighting
Best shape of my life.
“Brian makes weight cuts easy. Smooth, no stress. He even works my cravings into the meal plan. Best in the game.”
Chris Ventura
MMA · Fierce Fighting
Smooth weight cut. No stress.
“Brian's communication was excellent. He helped me understand the process and was a great friend and mentor throughout.”
Aton Pea
MMA · Fierce Fighting
Coach. Mentor. Friend.
“At 56, I fought my first masters amateur boxing tournament. Brian introduced me to how real athletes fuel — I hit weight feeling stronger and faster than I thought possible. Never hungry. No cravings.”
Arnie Owsley
Boxing · Mountaineer
Made weight at 56.
“285 pounds, getting bullied, struggling in my own body. Brian got me to 240. Then 225. Then 205. Still cutting. Still working with him. My self-esteem is back.”
Jesus Graterol
MMA · Fierce Fighting
285 to 205. Still cutting.
In the corner
The work between
the fights.
Camp, weigh-in, walk-out. The hours nobody posts about — measured, cooked, run beside the people doing it.
The program
Eight or twelve
weeks. Every
meal in grams.
Everything you get when you work with Brian. One price, one program, built for your body and your goal. One optional add-on for the clients who want it.
- 01
Body composition scan
InBody scan before we start and again at the end. We measure what changes so you can see it, not just feel it.
- 02
Personalized meal plan — to the gram
Proteins, starches, vegetables, fats. Weights, measures, and timing built around your training schedule. If it looks like every other client’s plan, I’ve failed.
- 03
Shopping list
Exactly what to buy, where to find it, what to skip. Fresh beats frozen. Fresh in-season beats fresh out-of-season.
- 04
Training program — written for you
No program? I write one. Broken program? We fix it. Dynamic warmup, LISS cardio, and compound lifts — 4×10–15 at RPE 7–8. Women need more iron. Men need more miles. You need both.
- 05
Supplement protocol
Whey isolate, creatine, fish oil, D3+K2, gender-appropriate multi, electrolytes when prescribed. Supplements are 5% of the equation. Food and sleep are the rest.
- 06
Weekly in-person check-in
Weight, photos, honest feedback. Sleep, water, training, digestion. Adjustments go out the next morning.
- 07
Fight camp weight cut (if you need it)
Water loading, sodium and fiber taper, sauna and bath protocols, rehydration, replenishment. Same system that runs UFC championship cuts.
The food
Clean food
doesn’t have
to be boring.
Who this is for
Two lanes.
One system.
Same program, same attention, same in-person work. What changes is what we’re building toward.
Lane 01
The fighter on camp
MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai, boxing. Six to sixteen weeks out. Your coach handles striking and grappling. Brian handles weight, fuel, and recovery — and gets you to the scale healthy.
- 01Lockhart-system weight cut
- 02Fight-week fuel and rehydration
- 03Replenishment for the walk-out
Lane 02
The professional who trains like one
Driven people with demanding lives. Former athlete, lifelong lifter, or starting serious training now. You want the coaching the fighters get, built around your schedule — not a camp.
- 01Physique, performance, longevity
- 02Cooking that fits around real work
- 03Same in-person structure as the pros
Longevity
No reason to dad bod.
Train for your family.
Staying lean, mobile, and strong in your 40s and 50s is a choice — and a responsibility. The program is built for the kind of guy who wants to keep up with his kids, grapple Tuesday nights, and still be the person at work people listen to.
Healthy for you. Healthy for them. Same framework that gets a fighter to weigh-in, scaled to the life you actually live.

- Q.08
Is this only for fighters?
No. Fighters and Park City professionals get equal weight. The program works for grapplers, former athletes, and anyone serious about body composition. Fighters get weight cut protocols layered on top — same system, same coach.
I don’t have a training program. Can you write one?
Yes. If you already have a program that’s working, keep it. If you don’t, or yours isn’t moving the needle, Brian writes one for you. Most women need more resistance work than they’re doing. Most men need more conditioning. You need both.
Why in-person only?
Because the InBody scan and the weekly check-in are the difference between a plan and a result. Apps are cheaper. The plan works better in person.
What areas do you cover?
Park City, Salt Lake City, Midway, Heber, and the broader Wasatch Front. If you’re outside that line, reach out anyway and we’ll figure it out.
Do I have to give up alcohol?
For the 8 or 12-week program, yes. It’s a short window; the results depend on it.
I can’t cook. Is that a problem?
No. Add the optional in-home cooking session ($200) — fridge and pantry tour, knife and pan basics, cooking methods, meal-prep efficiency. Brian was a professional chef, so teaching cooking is the point. You leave able to cook the food that holds the result.
What if I have a fight booked?
Tell me when. Weight cut protocols start 5–7 days out, but the camp before that matters more. The earlier we start, the cleaner the cut.
Who isn’t this for?
Remote-only clients. Sub-$200 budgets. Strict vegan or heavily restricted diets. Clients on heavy prescription regimens — we’ll talk first. Minors coach only with heavy parental involvement.
