Zach is not a trainer who pumps out pre-designed workouts and phoning it in. His unique value is that he takes a genuine interest in his clients and maximizes our time with workouts that he clearly puts time into thinking through before I show up...every time. This guy was thinking about my goals and progress even when I did not want to. That extra effort made all the difference in my losing nearly 40 lbs with him. He is like the least judgemental person I have ever met. Zach's approach was about improving the person, not just the body. It's like a life coach and trainer all in one with Zach. My favorite thing about Zach was Consistency, first and foremost- Zach made sure my workouts were smart and built week after week for a balanced body, and that maximized what I liked to do with what I needed to do. He also helped teach me the "why" of what he had me doing so I could go on my own and create smart workouts without him. He didn't make me dependent on him, which is the best trait a trainer could have. 

Before starting my fitness journey with Zach, I had previously attempted to work out, but his guidance helped me attain my fitness goals, particularly regarding my body composition. My workouts never left me feeling exhausted to the point where I couldn't continue my day, nor did they leave me dissatisfied. They were perfectly balanced, allowing me to approach my fitness journey sustainably.   Past injuries had left me apprehensive about weightlifting, but Zach's approach empowered me to pursue my fitness objectives by building muscle sustainably and injury-resistantly. For an entire year, he diligently trained me without a single session cancellation. He unfailingly arrived punctually, radiating a delightful and professional demeanor. His professionalism and pleasant approach have made our training experience truly enjoyable. Moreover, I have complete trust in his profound knowledge of fitness. I often receive compliments on my workout form, and I owe all the credit for reaching this level to his guidance and expertise.

"I’ve been working with Zach for over seven years now. Before training with him, I never stuck with a workout routine and always dealt with pain in my back, knees, and shoulders. Typically, any interruption—like vacations or other life stuff—would make me quit, but even during the long COVID hiatus, Zach’s enthusiasm and encouragement made me return.

From day one, I told him that losing weight is tough for me due to health reasons, so he’s always focused on endurance and strength instead of the scale. Zach also has this great way of building on each week’s progress, keeping me challenged without ever feeling overwhelmed. My pain is mostly gone, except for the occasional knee flare-up, but he always knows how to get me refocused on balance and strengthening exercises. And here’s the best part—I’m 56 and never feel self-conscious or old working with him. I can get up off the floor now without using my hands (and without groaning!). I genuinely couldn’t recommend him more, and at this rate, I hope to still train with Zach into my 70s.
