Since meeting Carly and the staff at Zen Fitness, my lifestyle has changed drastically! Their training coupled with a whole food, plant based diet has given me the quickest, positive results I have ever had! I feel healthier and have more confidence. The team at Zen is so motivating, nice, and always willing to help!

Zen fitness is a great place. I love everything about it. Our trainer Heather is the best. She knows what she is doing. She always push you to success and takes care if you have an injury.It is fun to work with her and it's always different so you don't feel bored. It is also personalized to your goals so you can achieve them. I'm always happy to break a sweat at ZEN.

I reviewed Zen back in 2010 when I started working out there and gave it 5 stars based on the people and my workouts. I did stop going to Zen b/c I moved and just started started going back (July 2016) AND started their Whole Food Plant Base diet that many clients choose to do there. I have lost 20 lbs in 7 weeks with Trainers Brandon and Alyssa (all trainers there are great). For someone looking to make a change, this is the right group of people to surround yourself with and use as a trainer and resource! If I could give Zen 100 stars I would <3

Some people really love working out, and going to the gym. I don't. At all. In fact, I literally can't stand going into a crowded gym. But I really needed to improve my fitness and I found Zen Studio. I've been training with Gary McClain three days a week for over half a year so far, and the results have been excellent. I'm getting stronger, have more stamina, and my back aches are gone.What impresses me the most about Gary is how precisely he can adjust exercises for me as I improve. Somehow he can tell when 70 pounds would be just barely doable, but 80 would be impossible. Of course, a week or two later, he moves me up to 80.Zen is never crowded, and usually has only one or two trainers, each with one or two people working out. And all kinds of people can be found there, from amazingly fit and strong folks to old, overweight ones (like me). Everyone is just interested in improving their own fitness.

I had been interested in weight-training for a long time before I found Zen Fitness. All the trainers I have met are experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and understanding. Recently, I have been training with Heather Miller. I really enjoy training with her. While she pushes me to achieve my goals, I have fun and I trust her to make sure I'm not going to push myself too hard or not enough. Best of all, she is all about not getting hurt and staying injury-free.

Zen Fitness is a wonderful place to reach your fitness goals. The owners and trainers are totally invested in your individual success. The facilities are clean and up to date, and the trainers are top-notch in their knowledge. My trainer, Kelvin Jones, was awesome and pushed me to achieve more than I thought possible. You could not ask for a more fantastic place to change your life for the better!

I absolutely love training at Zen Fitness! My goal is to gain muscle, not to lose weight, and the Zen trainers are helping me reach my goal. They know just how hard to push me while keeping me safe from injury. In addition to being very knowledgeable about fitness and the human body, they have an understanding of nutrition and the amazing benefits a plant-based lifestyle. I appreciate their holistic approach to health and all the compliments I'm now getting on my butt!

Joining Zen Fitness was one of the best things I have ever done. I have enjoyed every minute there. They are not only experts in their fields, but are truly caring people that want what's best for their clients! I have gone to other gyms before and had to quit due to a lack of motivation. With my AWESOME trainer Paige Rogers, I have lost 9 pounds, 3 inches off my waist and my energy is through the roof. I have moved into a new house over the last month and with my dad being disabled and having limited mobility, I had to do the majority of moving and unpacking myself. I know that I would not have been able to do that 6 months ago. My increased strength and endurance made a tedious job a lot easier! :-) I have a long way to go but I know with their help, I can get there. I have never met a nicer group of people who have considered me family since day one! Thanks Carly and crew for making my experience a great one! If you want a gym, go to ZEN....they are truly SUPER FANTASTIC!

I had been trying to shed 30 lbs for the last 20 years but I just couldn't do it. Carly and his team helped me lose it through exercise and nutrition... and made the whole process enjoyable and fun! Zen Fitness is a unique experience that will change your life... and I highly recommend it!
