Devan was very informative with all aspects of the different hold and lifts with the barbell today. He helped me move my feet and arms when needed to improve my technique. Today is the first day I’ve felt confident doing snatches with the barbell!

Carlos is an amazing coach! Always has a smile on his face and is so encouraging! He corrects my form/technique when I need it but does so in a way that motivates me and keeps me on track. Carlos greets every member by name when they walk into the gym and creates a comfortable environment to get a good workout! Nice, easy going personality!

I had a great jujitsu session with Devan tonight. The instruction was clear, patient, and really well‑paced. Since there were only two of us, it felt almost like a personal training session, and I got a ton of individual attention and technical detail.

Despite not being able to get to the gym due to safety precautions I still showed up to do the work. That is the kind of effect Ground Zero has on people. Even at home I can hear Coach Carlos correcting my form as well as cheering me on with rest of the group. A year ago, I’m certain I was waiting for the new year to get back on track and this year my focus is to stay on track and do better than ever during the holidays. Thanks Ground Zero for rekindling my workout spirit!

Review for Carlos Wiseman

Today I knocked out a CrossFit-style home workout inspired by Ground Zero Fitness, and it reminded me why I love being part of this gym so much. Ground Zero isn’t just a place to work out — it’s a community that gives me the tools, confidence, and programming to stay consistent even with my busy schedule. I completed rounds of dumbbell front rack work and hand-alternating planks. For the lunges, I used my own bodyweight instead of weights, but it still challenged me. I finished 6 full rounds of 20 reps, and the planks felt strong too. Overall, it was a solid session, and I’m proud that I can stay on track with my fitness goals right from home thanks to the support and structure Ground Zero Fitness provides. Being a member truly makes it easier to show up, whether I’m at the gym or in my living room.

Class was taught very well. Clearly explained everything and went through motion breakdowns before each workout. I didn't particularly care for the workout today because my personal motions felt too slow to get through all the reps I wanted to do in the slotted times. But I thought the class went very well.
