Intentional Strength Training

Thank you for the review David!

i came from trying to write my own program and stuck in a plateau to 6 lbs of muscle and much bigger and happier in 2 months thanks to garrett. his communication and understanding are top of the line when it comes to trying to find out what you need as a client. his knowledge of kinesiology and biomechanics is some of the best i’ve seen when it comes to body building and it’s not only helped me become a better trainer myself but also improve my physique.

Since signing with Garrett I've learned so much not only about the gym and working out but also about my body. He's taught me so much more about the gym and my internal health and how important it is. He truly cares about his clients and how they are feeling both physically and mentally. Thank you for teaching me so much and continuing to believe in me even on the days I don't believe in myself.

I started with intentional strength about 8 weeks ago. My digestive system has been a mess since I had my gallbladder out 4 years ago and it has changed my metabolism. I was started out on a good plan and then Workouts incorporated from there. I am in Utah and Garrett makes it easy to follow even if I have never physically met him. I came down with covid and had to pause everything as I was super sick. He didn’t shame me or make me feel bad at all for having to put a pause on things. He is very encouraging and understanding. I have lost 10 lbs and my digestive system is better than ever. I look forward to what the next few months will look like as I get back into the program. It works!!!!! Highly recommend. Will hit my goal weight and feel better than I ever have with tons of energy and healthier habits.

To say that Garret changed the game for me is an understatement. Before I started working with Garrett, I couldn't eat a single thing without getting so bloated that it hurt, so I went Vegan to relieve that(still didn't work). My periods were super painful. Working so hard at the gym only to see very little progress. Ive been living like that for so long that I accepted my fate. That, this is how I was going to live for the rest of my life. When I initially started to work with Garrett my goal was to change my body, not really giving much thought to fixing my insides as I was convinced that I was broken. Much to my surprise (due to my own ignorance) first thing we did was fix my diet and figure out why my gut was such disaster. That is exactly what he did. He "rebooted" my gut. Im able to eat full meals that include animal products without being in pain. Working from the inside, out instead of just working on the outside.But in doing so he fixed SO MUCH MORE. Because I really started taking care of myself, and prioritizing myself and my health, I started to heal emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Rather than using the gym as a coping mechanism, I started to find pure joy. My mindset changed, the switch flipped. I found myself on a whole other level. My confidence sky rocketed, my goals in life changed. Now for the fist time, since my adolescence, my periods are not killing me. disrupting my day to day activities.Investing in my health was the best decision I ever made. Working with Garrett has been a blessing. He became more than just a coach. but a mentor, someone that inspires me and pushes me. He is the best!

I have been working with Garrett and Intentional Strength for over 5 years.When I started, I was obsessed with the number on the scale and becoming the smallest version of myself possible. I was so obsessed with that number and small clothing sizes that I had actually been unknowingly starving myself for a year leading up to hiring Garrett. By the time we started working together, I had lost my menstrual cycle due to severe underrating and overtraining, was constantly freezing, had to get an antibiotic monthly because my immune system couldn’t fight anything off, and had atrocious digestion/gut health. I was constantly on cycles of binge eating because (as I know now) my body was begging to be fed.When Garrett started preaching about internal health and hormones to me, I couldn’t have cared less. The same went for when he started going on and on about me getting STRONG in the gym. I didn’t care about any of that, I just wanted to look good. However, as you’ll find out by working with Intentional Strength, these coaches stand out amongst the sea of personal trainers around every corner.Why, you ask?Because you’re not a number to them. You’re not possible transformation post material to make them look good. You’re not a body to ”makeover.” You’re a person who they want to see reach their goals - as much outside of the gym as inside. You will be looked at as a WHOLE human being, not just a nutrition plan and some exercises. Intentional Strength is the only training company I’ve ever encountered who cares just as much about hormones, internal and mental health, and your lifestyle as they do about your physical state. They are the most wholistic training company I know of and they create habits and mindsets that set you up for a lifetime, not just a vacation, wedding, or your next event. Working with Garrett and IS has truly changed every facet of my health, mindset towards my body, and quite literally my entire life.

Garrett is truly one of a kind in the fitness world! I have never met another trainer quite like him. The amount of detail he puts in to every client’s work up, training program and weekly check ins, is unmatched. If you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your whole body health, and not just giving you an insanely difficult workout to make it seem like he knows stuff, GQ is definitely your guy!! He will take the time to listen, he wants to help you heal your body from the inside out, he gives solid advice when it comes to nutrition and supplements, and yes- the workout plans are baller! Give Garrett a shot, and you won’t regret it!!

I’ve worked with Garrett and Intentional Strength for 6 months now. In that time I’ve been able to get closer to my goals than with any other program or coach I’ve tried…and I have no doubt I’ll be able to smash those goals with him! Working with Garret has helped me build more confidence in life and knowledge in the gym. He’s an amazing resource and an awesome coach (and person) who genuinely wants all of his clients to succeed. Can’t say enough good things…

I’ve experienced many coaches, and can say Garrett is one of a kind. This is a coach you want if you want to be healthy, but also still live your life. He recognizes when to push, and when to pull back. Overall such an understanding individual and wants what’s best for YOU. Which, unfortunately isn’t what 98% of coaches want. 10/10 recommend investing in yourself and contacting Garrett.

I’m so thankful I found Garrett and Intentional Strength Training! I’d been training on my own for years and hadn’t gotten the results I wanted. Garrett took one look at me and knew I was stronger than I thought I was. I’ve been training with Garrett for 6 months and I’ve seen major improvements. He is very focused on good form and that has been a game changer for me. We’ve set strength goals, such as 2x bodyweight for RDLs, and I am well on my way to achieving that. He also helped me do my first bodyweight chin-up, which seemed impossible 6 months ago. Now I’m doing chin-ups for reps! Garrett challenges me on a daily basis but is also one of the most supportive people I know. Garrett, thank you so much for all you’ve done – I can’t wait to see what we can do in the next 6 months and beyond!
