My passion is helping empower others to develop and build positive relationships with food, fitness, and life!

DJ Larson | Area Training Director
After a long hard transformation journey of his own, from 300 lbs to 175 lbs, Coach DJ went back to college and attained his Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science and 3 Certifications from NASM, 1 from FMS, and various coaching certifications from various institutions. DJ’s passion for helping others began with the study of Deaf Education and truly blossomed during his time at St. Jude’s Supporting his 5 year old son through his battle with brain cancer. There he truly found his calling, to help others on their journey to inspiring others!
Zaakir DeVold | Certified Personal Trainer
Hi, my name is Zaakir. When I started my fitness journey at the age of 18, I swiftly realized that the habits, discipline, and consistency developed in the gym and kitchen extend to many areas of our lives. I believe there’s nothing quite as fulfilling as helping others understand that there is an entirely different side of life, especially if they are open to letting their victories and lessons build and grow.
I look forward to working with you and growing with you. Let’s work together to inspire others through your journey and celebrate your successes together.
