Peak health and performance can rarely be achieved in life on our own. Accountability and coaching are the key to lasting change and the secret to true success. Carly and the Zen Fitness team have helped us find the answers we were searching for. They have profoundly changed our lives well beyond just the physical state of our bodies. The Harper Family

This is the best gym I’ve ever been too. I’ve been to many gyms and just felt like a number, but at Zen Fitness they focus on what your individual goals are and help you reach them. They find out what your goals are and create a workout plan just for you!!!! Carley and the other trainers are the there for you. The one on one personal attention and focus is unlike any other. Definitely would recommend to anyone if they want to change their life and routine.

Highly recommend Zen fitness! I have been with Zen fitness for the past 6 months and have seen dramatic results. The one on one attention and specific fitness plans for your goals is remarkable. All of the trainers are truly there to push you and help you achieve whatever your goals are! I swore I would never be a runner and now I can run 4 miles! If you are looking for high intensity workout that produce results then don’t hesitate to head to Zen. Carly and all of the trainers truly care about their clients you will never be just another number. Best decision I have made for my health!

Thanks to zen fitness and my personal trainer Tristan for helping me getting into a pretty good shape. Tristan never let me give up on myself whenever I tried to make silly excuses while working out.I wouldn’t be able to achieve my goals if he had not motivated me. All the trainers at zen are very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Thanks to zen.

I’ve been working with Carly for the past 3.5 months and have already lost 35 lbs. I have worked with many personal trainers and fitness couches in the past and I’ve never had such great results in a relatively short amount of time before! More importantly, Carly’s approach to nutrition and fitness is so simple and the easy to follow. Carly genuinely cares that you succeed and is very knowledgeable at what he does. I’m so happy that I’ve found Zen Fitness, I have more confidence and my body feels better than ever, I only wish that I found them sooner!

Great “positive energy” atmosphere. Everyone there is friendly, kind and caring. Each training visit is personalized to your needs. Excellent training suggestions to do on your own when not training, as well as healthy eating advice and recipes. If your looking to improve your health, physique and your life, Zen Fitness is the place!

I have trained with Daniel at Zen Fitness for over a year now and have seen significant improvement in my strength, cardiovascular fitness, and form during exercise. Daniel is an excellent motivator and a knowledgeable trainer, and his workouts are well-designed, challenging, and never the same. He consistently pushes me to do my best while still having an intuitive sense of my limits. Highly recommend Zen and Daniel!

I came to Zen knowing nothing about personal fitness except that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and that not knowing what you’re doing in a gym can hurt you. The experience has been exceptional. My trainer, Randy, excels at personal training and creates a fun and challenging environment that I always look forward to. He cares about his clients and you can tell he wants their success above all else. I’m grateful for the better quality of life and the great people I’ve met. A truly rewarding experience and echoes throughout every area of your life.

Ive been working out with Blanca Fernandez since September of last year and it has been amazing! She truly cares for not only your fitness but for your health as well. She knows how to balance push and comfort at the same time, but still expects greatness! She has completely worked with me and my families schedules. She is constantly and consistently coming up with new ideas for workouts and it is never the same which keeps it fun and interesting. I would recommend her to anyone!

I started off 2019 with zero self-love and no confidence and Zen Fitness helped me find both of those. Over the year, Ive trained with many of the experts, but mostly Carly. Not only have I learned to love myself and have confidence, but there has been a huge improvement in my strenght and mental health! I am in the best shape I have been in in years and I have found a love for working out and clean eating. The trainers are motivational and give you that extra push when you need it - so there is never a dull moment. Zen Fitness is the place to be(=

I really enjoyed my workouts at Zen fitness a lot! They were always fun and really test your true capability. My trainer who also happens to be the owner (Carly) is incredible and not only knows his stuff, he lives it! All the trainers at Zen are nice and great motivators. The place is clean and located in the convenient Tower 24 Village. If you want results I recommend you go to Zen Fitness!

Gary at Zen Fitness is one of the best trainers Ive come across. He is extremely knowledgeable about the fitness industry. He personalized a workout/meal plan for my individual goals. Not to mention he is always in a good mood which makes working out fun. Ive been working out for years and he is one of the best. I highly recommend him to everyone whether they are just starting out in fitness or training to compete in a show.

Zen fitness is an amazing gym. Its always a great experience working out with trainer Sam Grantham. He has helped me change my lifestyle and become healthier. I always look forward to my session everyday. The workouts are always different and fun. Sam pushes me to do better every time. The gym has a motivating atmosphere and all the trainers are very friendly and make you feel welcome. Its a great positive place to workout at.

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 whats 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 have been working out with Tristan for the last 9 months and have never felt in better shape. The variety of the workouts never leaves me bored and always adapting to what I need. Tristan even came up with challenging workouts while I was on crutches and recovering from an injury. I highly recommend Tristan and Zen Fitness for all fitness levels and needs.

Since meeting Carly and the staff at Zen Fitness, my lifestyle has changed drastically!

Exceptional gym. All trainers are highly skilled and passionate in what they do. As a client I always felt that my specific needs were always addressed; allowing everything to be tailer-made for my (clearly laid out and regularly tracked) goals.In addition to the trainers being the best around, the environment itself is also one of a kind. Simply and efficiently designed with all the tools you and your trainer will ever need. I worked out at Zen for over a year and still there seemed to be an endless amount of variation and equipment at my trainers disposal.Absolutely recommended for anyone at any fitness level.

My husband and I love working out with Heather Wilson-Miller. She pushes us to reach new heights, overcome challenges and become healthier people. She guides us through both workouts and meal plans while keeping our fitness goals in mind. Working out has become the highlight of our week! I highly recommend both Heather and Zen Fitness. Weve seen incredible results, and Im sure you will too.

My dad and I go to Zen Fitness at Tower Rd. My dads trainer is Heather Miller, and he loves training with her! My dad is 77 years old, and every time I take him to his sessions, Heather always receives him with an infectious smile. Heather is the only person that can get my dad to do exercises, anybody else my dad flatly refuses, but with Heather hes super happy to do any workout. She is extremely knowledgeable in fitness and patient, which is a perfect combination for my father .My trainer is Gary McClain, I have been with him for almost two years now and Gary is awesome! It is always fun to come to his sessions, because the exercises are neither impossible or easy for me to do, which keep things interesting. Garys expertise and positive energy makes him an awesome person to work with.

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 Im not going to push myself too hard or not enough. Best of all, she is all about not getting hurt and staying injury-free.

I love this gym! I have worked with several of the personal trainers that work here, and they have all been amazing! Specifically, my last trainer was Alyssa Gonzalez, and she was definitely the most effective trainer Ive worked with in a long time! She was always able to make the workouts so fun, enjoyable, and not intimidating - which was great for me as a beginner! Definitely will go back!

Review №25

Some people really love working out, and going to the gym. I dont. At all. In fact, I literally cant stand going into a crowded gym. But I really needed to improve my fitness and I found Zen Studio. Ive been training with Gary McClain three days a week for over half a year so far, and the results have been excellent. Im 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.

Heather has been magnificent. She is very well versed in her discipline. She is great to train with because she has a very engaging and caring personality. My results with her have been wonderful.

I have been working out at Zen for almost two years and I cant imagine my life without it. As a busy college student, working out at Zen gives me the energy to make it through 12 hour days. The trainers at Zen make all the difference. They are dedicated to their clients and are always learning new things. If you want to make a life change, or maybe have been working out at a big gym and are ready for a truly personal experience with real results, Zen is the answer. When you take care of yourself, it is amazing how everything else in your life falls into place!

I truly believe that there are two types of people in this world. Doers and talkers. Well, after spending time with Carly and the team at Zen Fitness you will see that they are both. They have an incredible ability to make things happen by their actions but their ability to empower people to succeed is a talent not many have. They have a talent, or shall I say an Aura, that surrounds them and allows a person to not only feel comfortable but gives them the feeling that anything can be accomplished. Ive seen this first hand and its amazing. Carly and his team are a dedicated group and will always do whats best for you. Im lucky to have experienced Zen Fitness, if you havent you should! Great Job Zen Fitness and I hope you guys continue to change lives.

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!

Zen has changed my life. They taught me how to eat in a way that I can maintain, they workout with me, the check in on me and hold me accountable. I know everything to do but I do not make to the gym on my own. They motivate me! Which is priceless. I have been there over a year now and have had the opportunity to work out with all the trainers and while each offer their own value, I feel like I win no matter who trains me.

Heather is the best. She has elevated my fitness and pushes me in a way I would never push myself.

He has always had a great encouraging way about him, he is a natural coach & leader.I have been working out with Sam since he has been at Zen Fitness and I have never felt better or had such a great time getting fit.Sam, like the entire staff @ Zen, cares about my personal life, diet and professional world. Sam makes training very interesting and the results with me are very obvious.

If you want to change your life both physically and emotionally, Zen fitness is the place to go. First and foremost, the staff at Zen motivate each individual to achieve their personal needs no matter where you at physically. Their unique and energetic atmosphere help pushes you through the burn, count every last rep and inspire you to do more. I have been to many gyms throughout my athletic career with high quality coaches, however i have never been to a gym that a have a wide range of talent to PERSONAL train you on a consistent basis. They will make time for you and benefit your needs. More over, a healthy lifestyle isnt just about keeping fit but to also eat healthy on a regular basis. Zen fitness introduced me to a plant based diet which initially raised an eyebrow. After a trial period experiencing a plant based lifestyle, I have not turned back since. Losing lbs is always nice, but to compete and play tennis at an elite level, I have never felt more energized and inspired to do better. Since this lifestyle change, my self esteem has increased, my body looks and feels great and I am in the best shape of my professional career.

I absolutely love training with Heather Miller! She will kick your butt but will never guide you wrong and is always there to support you. She will prove to you that everything is possible, just like she taught me that we set our own limits and can easily break them. If youre looking for a good trainer that will push you to reach and even surpass your goals Heather is the gal to talk to :)

At Zen Fitness you learn healthy habits that you can take with you for the rest of your life. The whole team is supportive of your fitness goals and you will reach them. I had been trying to shed 30 lbs for the last 20 years but I just couldnt do it. Carly and his team helped me lose it through exercise and nutrition... and made the whole process enjoyable and fun!

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 Im now getting on my butt!

As a Doctor I highly recommend Zen fitness to all. The staff has a great respect for the human body and are able to work with most orthopedic problems that might have once limited ones physical activity. Since I have been training with Zen fitness my entire outlook has changed on both diet and fitness. They have helped me realize that a short term diet and small stints of over activity is not the answer for my physical goals. They have instilled a healthy lifestyle in me that is based on a strong foundation of both high intensity training and a fresh foods diet that I will carry with me for a lifetime.

Blanca (one of the trainers at Zen) helped me get out of a long rut of eating badly & not exercising. She was extremely motivating and designed every workout carefully in order to work around my back issues. I also worked out on occasion with Tanner, another Zen trainer who designed fun & challenging workouts. I met my weight loss goals & exceeded my muscle growth goals with Zens help, and Im so grateful that their guidance has helped me maintain since. All of the staff are extremely helpful & encouraging. I would highly recommend Zen Fitness to anyone who needs some help losing weight or just leading a healthier life.

Training at Zen Fitness is one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made for my health. In one month I’ve progressed farther than I did in the whole previous year. It’s well worth the investment because I’m not only getting help while I’m there training, l’m also learning what to do on all the other days of the week. Plus I’m getting support for doing all the right things. I now know how to eat optimally and how to get in a workout anyplace, anytime with no equipment. I’m on a path meet my goals. My only regret is that I didn’t make the leap sooner!

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).

I have been training with Zach for 6 months. My overall goals when I started were to be more tone, more lean and stronger. Zach is very knowledgeable and has a great personality. He makes my work outs fun and has helped me reach my goals. He is always encouraging and challenging me to push my limits further and he helps keep me motivated. No two sessions are the same. I cant speak highly enough about Zach and the team at Zen Fitness. Whatever your goals are and whatever your fitness level is, they will be able to help customize a work out routine that is right for you.

If you are looking for a gym which joins health, nutrition, mindfulness, and fitness all in one this is your place! The trainers are incredibly knowledgable in a multitude of different areas within fitness as a whole. Your training will be specific to what you want and need! The culture of the people there is fantastic. It is easy to have a great time there and get a serious work out in. In addition, their ability to communicate and listen is outstanding. This is a great place not only for fitness, but for wellness as a whole. Some of the transformation which I have seen and witnessed at Zen Fitness have truly been extraordinary.

Absolutely superlative equipment, ambiance and trainers. All of the staff -- especially Carly -- have a deep understanding of the physiology and psychology of building a healthy body. My sessions were spent establishing my needs and pin-pointing where I needed to focus in order to reach my fitness goals. Not only is the plant-based, whole-foods diet delicious, but its a sustainable lifestyle unlike the other fad diets. What Zen Fitness offers is a happier, healthier way of life... if youre up for the challenge.Whether you want to shed a few pounds or maybe a bit more, this is the place that youre going to succeed.

Review №57

I am pleased to be writing a review of Carly - I have found his support to be extremely valuable.About 10 years ago I experienced a major medical incident which brought my life as an athlete to abruptly end. I subsequently gained over 60 pounds and was unable to work out. Over the last 2 years, I began a process of reclaiming my health and was able to drop about 45 pounds mostly by cleaning up my eating, however, my weight plateaued, and I felt somewhat stuck. After conducting an internet search of area fitness studios, I came upon Zen Fitness, and followed a link at the bottom of their page to Instagram, and there began to find out about Carly. After mulling it over for about 3 months, I took the dive and sent a message to inquire about training packages. I was extremely nervous about being judged, not being able to complete the exercises, and the pressure to sign up for some packages. I knew after my first appointment that I had taken the right step. The gym is clean and is staffed by a community of great people who promote healthy eating (vegan) lifestyle.Carly does a great job at reading non-verbal cues and knows when to push a little bit more as well as knowing when to take a break. I have been in the gym for about 2 months now, he asked me if I noticed any differences and it took me a while to formulate a response. Here is what I know, a lot has changed over the last two months; I am happier, I have more energy, and my body is starting to show definition. Prior to working with the studio, I felt stuck on my journey to get my body back. Now I feel supported, encouraged, and much more highly motivated. Thanks to support from Carly I feel confident that I am moving in the right direction.

The decision to start training at Zen has been one of the best that I have ever made! I can honestly say that it has changed my life! Every member of the staff is professional, competent, and sincerely cares about you. I have worked with personal trainers in the past, but working out with Paige Rogers has by far been my best experience. She challenges me each and every work out and is my biggest and loudest cheerleader. She celebrates each of my milestones and successes as if they were her own! With their expert guidance, I have been able to accomplish things I never thought were possible. I have lost over 40 pounds, countless inches, have no more pain in my knees, and can do things I never imagined. Thank you to the entire Zen team - each and everyone of you is AMAZING!

If you are looking for a professional atmosphere with a knowledgeable staff who truly care about fitness, clean eating, and professional and personal growth with their clients. Then look no further than Zen Fitness. I have personally trained with Juan Carlos, Chase, Paige, Kelvin, Gary, and Pam and each session was more than just a workout. Its a family atmosphere with not only the trainers but the other clients. Everyone pushes one another to get a little better each day and that is what keeps me coming back. Zen Fitness gets my highest personal recommendation and I suggest you look no further than the team at ZEN. Find your Zen, you will not be disappointed.

Ive been working out with Carly and his staff for close to a year now and I cant imagine going anywhere else. Ive lost over 30 lbs. of body fat and feel like Im 20 again! The attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. Hopefully the staff doesnt get sick of me because I plan to be there for many more years to come! Simply amazing!

My experience with Heather has been nothing short of amazing. Ive made incredible progress in functionality and a bystander even commented about my shoulders looking strong! Heather has pre-planned workouts specifically designed to address my needs and as a result Ive gained strength in all the right places, endurance and confidence all while enjoying her energy and benefiting from her considerable knowledge. She is a great motivator and wonderful person.

Zen Fitness is a great place to take your fitness to the next level. After consulting with Daniel Schmidt, he helped me get on a new routine that was both enjoyable as well as challenging. I would recommend anybody to Zen Fitness who wants to take control and get healthy.

First of all, I am 59 and I have never enjoyed working out. The team at Zen Fitness makes it fun, enjoyable, and challenging. Carly has been so encouraging and the entire staff has been supportive. I am not a GQ model yet, but they have me on the right track.

Zen Fitness gave me and my brother the chance to begin our fitness journey towards a healthier lifestyle. We love our group training with Blanca! In dealing with existing injuries, Blanca has used an attentive approach to our training to improve and strengthen our weak areas while preventing further injury. Thanks Blanca!!

I have trained a few times so far at Zen and cant say enough good things about it. I love how they incorporate nutrition into their training. They focus on a healthy lifestyle and not just on the fitness aspect of it. They believe in health as being more than just looking a certain way... They believe in being whole. It is evident in every person there. Its refreshing seeing the passion for health and wellness that each of these people have; and more importantly is their willingness to share it with the world.Lets not forget how amazing the training is. They kick butt without making you feel like youre going to hurt yourself! They listen to you and offer modifications for previous injury and are more than willing to help you reach your goals...and beyond!

The team at Zen Fitness is fantastic! They are dedicated and passionate about their clients and their focus on overall health (nutrition and exercise combined) is really transforming people’s lives in a positive way. The atmosphere is supportive and the owner, Carly, and the team really go above-and-beyond to help people achieve their health and fitness goals. I highly recommend Zen Fitness for your personal training needs.

I worked out at Zen with a friend when I was visiting Gainsville. It was an awesome experience and Sam Grantham was a great trainer!! He gave me tons of new workouts that I could do on my own at home. I wish there was a Zen Fitness close to me, I would definitely sign up!

Way before I believed it in me, these guys can see the best, most confident, and chiseled version of myself. Zen Fitness has challenged me to the very last rep, and gotten me to the strongest I’ve ever been.I’m a return customer from a few years back and Zen Fitness always gets me great results. I had a list to check off this year: get off the couch and workout consistently. And oh yeah---I needed to get ready for ski season 2020! So, I called up Zen Fitness to get started. I just wish I would have done it sooner. All the trainers are kind and friendly and the gym is a comfortable and supportive environment.I’ve been working with Randy! Yay! He’s attentive, flexible, and a great teacher. I never knew the importance and challenge of stability training before. Having that as part of my fitness program has given me the best foundation for my strength goals, recovering from an ankle sprain, and preventing injury in my new fitness journey.Can I tell you what I can do now? Other than being able to do 80+ full push-ups in a workout (sometimes on a bosu or 2 medicine balls), I have arm muscles to brag to my husband lol, I’m happier, and I’m more curious than afraid of challenges.I learned that Fear will only keep you from the best surprise you didn’t know you can have-–to see how strong you really are. And these guys helped me get there. Definitely recommend checking out Zen Fitness!Adding to my original review-- Ive work with Tristan also, and hes super awesome as well! Hes a great teacher and his lessons on breathing and form, stick with you and go a long way. Thanks for the wise tips Tristan!

Im grateful to say that a little over a year and a half ago I had the pleasure of beginning to train with Carly Asse and the team over at Zen Fitness. Being introduced to a whole food plant based lifestyle in addition to an encouraging and motivating team of trainers is hands down one of the best things that has ever happened to me and truly has had the biggest impact on my life, health and happiness. If youre in the Gainesville area and in need of personal or group training, I assure you that you wont find anywhere better than Zen!

I work out with Zach at Zen Fitness 3 times a week and couldnt be more pleased. Every time I go in, I always have a friendly and fun experience. The workouts are quite challenging and he always varies the lifts. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Gary McClain is one the the best trainers I have ever trained with. He is a great person he isnt pushy like most trainers I have worked with in the past. He isnt a trainer that yells at you and forces you to finish he can tell when you have had all you can do. There needs to be more trainers like him.

Zen Fitness is the destination in Gainesville for anyone looking to make permanent lifestyle changes and total body improvements. Carly and Pam are not only trainers but life coaches who are invested in fitness, diet, and global health. There are no crazy diets or gimmicks involved that are unsustainable. Everything at Zen revolves around realistic goals and positive choices. The staff there helped me lose my baby weight in less than 6 weeks, and my body is healthier and more toned than it has been in years!

This gym has it all. The staff will take on any challenge to make sure you get exactly what you sign up for. From the beginner to the next Olympic athlete, Zen makes sure to tailor a fitness program that matches its clients. The knowledge doesnt just stop with training in the gym, it continues with a wide based education into nutrition so that you achieve a complete Life Style change. Zen Fitness is the real deal and if youre serious about starting a training program you would be doing yourself injustice if you didnt stop in for a consultation.

Sam Grantham is a very motivated worker with a wide array of knowledge in not only personal fitness, but healthy living as well. I would highly recommend seeking out his expertise if you wish to obtain a healthier lifestyle.

Zen Fitness is not an ordinary personal training studio. And there are no ordinary lug-head trainers to be found there. What youll find at Zen are trainers who take evidence-based, common sense, solution-driven methods of personal training, and use them to help you get results. More importantly, youll find a group of people who will truly INVEST in your success, far beyond the walls of the gym. Carly, Gary and the rest of the crew are not just great trainers, theyre great people. I couldnt recommend them more highly. Dont waste time, go do it now.

Ive been training with Tristan McGraw for a few months and its better than I couldve ever imagined! First off, Zen Fitness is an awesome environment on its own. Its not intimidating at all. No one cares what you look like, what clothes youre wearing, or how old you are, you just get in there and do your thing with your trainer. Its a really supportive and welcoming atmosphere. Its never crowded so you always have access to whatever machine or weights you need.I love working out with Tristan because he always changes it up. I never know what to expect when I get in there, which is awesome because the workouts fly by because theyre so enjoyable (who wouldve thought, right?). He knows how to cater the workout to what changes youre looking for or if you have any injuries. He adds in really cool exercises that are new and he does a great job demonstrating how to do them and then walks you through it.I always feel great after a workout with Tristan at Zen and Im so happy I found this place!! If youre tired of boring gym sessions and the same routine and you dont see results, Id HIGHLY recommend coming to Zen and requesting Tristan. Go on Zen Fitnesss Instagram (@ZenFitness) or Facebook page to see pictures of the awesome results I got with Tristan just after my first 2 weeks.

When I came to see Paige at Zen Fitness I was successful in my career, but had sacrificed my life to make the money. I was emotionally, spiritually and physically a wreck. Your infinite patience, guidance and 100% supportive nature helped me overcome obstacles I never couldve on my own. This whole experience was so life altering for me, I now look at life through a whole new set eyes. I thank the whole team at Zen for the spiritual up lifting experience, not only was I taught how to exercise and eat right, I was shown how to grocery shop and cook for my new life style. I would highly recommend you come join the Zen team!!!!!
