Hi! My name is Zach and I am so excited to officially be a certified personal trainer! A little background on me and my fitness journey: I was an athlete throughout grade school and high school with soccer being my primary sport. I also participated in track & field, tennis, ultimate frisbee, golf and bowling. I have been an avid hiker and backpacker through my teen years and early twenties. I grew up in Northern Michigan with a woodstove for heat in the cold winters, and have been splitting wood since I was a teenager (splitting wood is still my favorite form of exercise!)
I became more serious about physical fitness shortly before my wife and I got married and started talking about starting a family. Her father is built like a super hero and she always looked up to him in that light, and I want to be that same kind of figure for my future children. So that is my primary "why" and motivation to be the strongest, most fit version of myself. I decided to become a certified personal trainer so I could help both myself and my clients become the best versions of themselves. We are all on our own journeys, including me, so let's double-lace our shoes and get to work together!
