What Clients Think About Us

Brett is an incredibly intelligent personal trainer who designs his workouts that are very relevant and efficient to the needs of today’s demands as a hockey player. Year in and year out I’ve seen tremendous growth in the players that I’ve coached in both their conditioning and strength base. He’s very passionate with the athletes and players love both his workout plans and him as a person.

I’ve trained with Brett for years now, every summer I get stronger, faster and feel extremely confident going into camp. The workouts are always challenging and I always feel pushed. Thanks for everything Zone!

Brett truly listened to me when I told him what style of workouts work best for my game. He prepped me perfectly to head into my freshman year at Michigan Tech. First hand I know he does what it takes to make each athlete successful.

Brett’s commitment to specific training to my individual needs was outstanding compared to past trainers I’ve had. Zone had me in the best pre-season shape I’ve ever been in after only training with them for 2 months. They challenged me every day to become a better athlete while maintaining a fun environment, great instruction and unrivalled pricing for the best training in the city.
