Starting Point Fitness

The Why:Zach was originally drawn into Health and Fitness back in 2006 when battling his own worst enemy, himself. After years of feeling uncomfortable in his own skin and even lacking self worth, he realized the negative impact this was causing in other areas of his life. It was because of this understanding that he had finally concluded a change needed to be made, and he was ready to do just that.This was his "starting point,” taking one day at a time, sometimes even just one decision at a time. Working out and fueling his body with proper nutrition was the beginning to making this lifestyle change. Soon he began experiencing first hand just how critical this new way of living was for an overall happier life. Although these were difficult times, still to this day he is grateful for these past hardships as it has molded him into the man he is today. Thus, allowing him to bring relatability, sincerity, and passion into the lives of others.   Philosophy & Vision: With 2/3 of Americans being overweight, it is clear society has lost its understanding on what it means to be healthy. Today, with more and more people relying on a quick & simple fix, it is Zach’s belief that a new perception on how we view and treat our bodies needs to be instilled and worked on each and every day. Being easier said than done, Zach understands this hardship; which is why he believes in meeting people where they are at, and providing them with the utmost supportive team at “Starting Point Fitness.” Simply put, SPF’s establishment is attributed to the desire of helping and guiding others become the best versions of themselves no matter their starting point. Experience: Carroll University Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science & Nutrition)NSCA-CPT (2012)D1 Collegiate Athletic Performance CoachProgramming and Training Paraplegic ClientsCreating & Implementing Group Personal Training Programs in Multiple Clubs
