I have had the BEST experience working with Zack! I started working with him while I was in physical therapy for a knee problem. He tailored my program to work alongside my physical therapy, and after I finished PT, he incorporated exercises my physical therapist recommended into my workouts. Zack has helped me build strength in my legs without pushing my "not as good" knee too hard, and he always has another exercise ready to switch to when needed without sacrificing progress. My main goal was general strengthening, both to support my recovery and improve my overall fitness, but Zack also has so many options for helping you stay on track with food and nutrition if you're working toward a healthy weight. He makes things as easy as possible and meets you where you are, with just the right amount of accountability sprinkled in. When I first met Zack, I told him I wanted to get my knee feeling a bit better and gain some experience at the gym so I could eventually work out on my own. I figured I'd work with him for around six months or so, but it's been well over a year, and I'm still here with no plans to stop! I even recommended him to my husband, so now he works with both of us. Thanks to Zack, I've met and exceeded my fitness and weight goals, and my knee strength and overall fitness continue to improve beyond what I would have ever expected!

If you're thinking about hiring an online coach but aren't sure because they won't be there in person, I completely understand. I felt the same way. I actually worked with my coach in person back around 2017 for about six months and had such a great experience. Years later, when I decided I wanted help getting back on track, I reached out to him again and found out he had moved out of state. I was disappointed at first because I really wanted to work with him again, but because I had such a positive experience before, I decided to give his online coaching a try. I'm so glad I did. Working with him helped me lose weight, but more importantly, he helped me build healthier habits that I can actually stick with. There were no crazy restrictions and no foods that were completely off limits. Instead, he taught me how to make better choices and find a balance that worked for my lifestyle. One of the biggest changes was how naturally my habits started to shift. Before, I would reach for chips without even thinking about it. Now I find myself reaching for cucumbers instead, adding more vegetables to my plate, and eating less rice and pasta. The changes felt realistic and sustainable, not forced. The weight loss has been great, but there have been so many other benefits too. I'm sleeping better, I have more energy, and I feel much more confident in my clothes. For the first time, I felt like I was building habits that I could actually maintain long term. What I appreciate most about him is how knowledgeable, encouraging, and understanding he is. He takes the time to answer questions, explain things in a way that makes sense, and genuinely wants to see his clients succeed. Even though everything was online, I never felt like I was doing this alone. He was always there to provide guidance, accountability, and support when I needed it. Any doubts I had about online coaching disappeared pretty quickly. If you're on the fence about online coaching, I would absolutely recommend giving it a chance. If you find the right coach, it can be just as effective as in-person training. Working with him has made a huge difference in my health and confidence, and I'm incredibly grateful that I decided to take that chance and work with him again.

Zack has been wonderful to work with! As a military veteran and homeschool mom of seven, life is incredibly busy, but I felt convicted to prioritize my health so I could continue caring well for my family. I wanted a coach who could help me reach my fitness and nutrition goals while working with my limited schedule and the equipment I had available at home. From the beginning, Zack was encouraging, knowledgeable, and flexible. He helped keep me accountable and continually adjusted my workouts to fit the ever-changing demands of life. One of the biggest challenges during our time working together was when I became pregnant with my seventh child and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Zack designed a weightlifting program that helped improve my insulin resistance and provided nutrition accountability and guidance throughout my pregnancy. The results were incredible. I was able to manage my gestational diabetes without medication, and my doctors and nurses were consistently impressed with my glucose levels and lab results. What I appreciate most about Zack is that he doesn't just create workout plans—he helps build sustainable habits. He helped me make small, consistent, achievable changes that led to real progress, even during one of the busiest seasons of my life. I would absolutely work with Zack again and highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their health, especially busy parents, pregnant women, or those struggling with insulin resistance. He truly cares about his clients' success and knows how to help them achieve lasting results.

Started going in the fall to try to recover some strength and endurance after a long line of illnesses, and build some muscle I've never really had. Just a few months later, I'm down a few pounds, getting excellent muscle definition and strength, and for the first time in my entire life, I was able to do a pull-up! Attentive, constantly helping with form, very motivational. Definitely plan to be a client for a while.

For the past 10 months, working with Zack as my personal trainer and nutritional coach has been a great experience. He handcrafted a training program and schedule that works for me and has really helped me get stronger. Aside from that, he has continued to go above and beyond and help with my nutrition and has given me great resources for training outside of our set routine. He's a fantastic trainer, and a great guy!

My training experience with Zack was excellent! I had never worked with a trainer before. (I really never worked out on a consistent basis before!) For a first-timer like me, he balanced clear, disciplined coaching with genuine encouragement—exactly what I needed.
