Unfortunately, in 2015 at the age of 30 I was involved in a serious car accident that left me with a broken wrist, torn meniscus in my knee, various torn ligaments in my foot and a bunch of deep gashes and cuts all over my body. Being an extremely active person, this accident left me feeling depressed, immobile and feeling like my world was caving in, but what kept me going were my dad’s encouraging words “You have to make your body strong enough to take what life’s going to...

Back in 2012 at the age of 27, I was on the verge of retiring from boxing, the sport that I had competed in since I was 10 years old. From boxing, I had serious hand problems and it got to the point where I couldn't button a shirt, turn a key, and it was even hard to zip my trousers. It was time for major hand surgery.

In January of 2018 I decided to make a change in my life and dive back into fitness. As a lifelong athlete, I knew what I had to do. I walked into a local gym and gave it my all. I enrolled in the boxing program and fell in love with all it. The fundamentals, the mental and the physical part of boxing made me come alive.

I saw so many people that had so much potential. I also saw so many people that just needed a little push to get going because life had gotten in the way. That is something...

ZPT: How we set up our programming and why we aren’t your
typical HIIT studio workout.

On the strength side of the Zoom wall our goal is to make you STRONGER and help you move BETTER.

2 major components to a successful fitness regimen:

  • Fun
  • Results

In order to have fun, you must “buy-in” to the program, or truly believe it will work, and be doing something you truly enjoy (or will come to enjoy via it’s results).

In order to get results, you must adhere to the program, or exercise, with consistency. To do so, you must be having fun!

Let’s talk about an outlet I (and just about everyone else who tries it) deem incredibly fun, a long term driver of...
