What a great place to workout!
I had some shoulder surgery and really wanted to get strength and stability back in my arm.
I worked with Jen and she is amazing. She put together a great program that absolutely allowed me to get stronger, drop a belt loop in size and feel better.
There’s no stress while working out at Zen Rock— no one to judge you or intimidate you.
I also felt really safe, even during COVID, because of separate rooms and lots of space.
I've been training with Mehdi for a couple years now at ZenRock. He has been extremely helpful along the way. He has a ton of knowledge about human anatomy, bodybuilding, how supplements and hormone levels/lab results affect performance, diet, as well as exercise. We started out getting me back into shape by doing low weight higher repetition exercises to increase my endurance. Eventually after reviewing progress, we shifted to adding muscle and building physique and I saw results rather quickly. Mehdi's approach for me includes a lot of stretching and mixing up sets of increasing weight with core exercises, usually focusing on a couple of primary muscle groups per workout. Extremely positive, even when I am not feeling it. I always leave feeling better than when I got there. I have had personal trainers before, and Mehdi surpasses them by far. The staff overall at ZenRock is amazing. The wife and I have attended a group trip that focused on yoga, diet, and outdoor activities with Nova, who is also fantastic.The trip was memorable and while different kinds of exercise than I usually do, was refreshing. The facility itself is smaller - but it's not an open gym. You are only there during your personal training time, which is nice because you aren't competing for equipment or attention. I personally supplement my routine with another gym for individual workouts, but those workouts are also taken into account for overall goals and you always get great advice and feedback. The crowd is a mix of people, eve couples, but tends to be a more mature crowd. I've never felt more comfortable - the staff kind of treats you like family, and I'm pretty sure all of the other trainers know me by name at this point, even if they haven't worked with me at all. If you're looking for a focused place to get you back into it, or feel like you have specific goals you want to accomplish, or maybe need a little more attention due to previous injuries ir health concerns, or want to avoid crowded equipment or bros flexing in the mirror next to you, I couldn't recommend a better place than ZenRock.
