Build strength that supports your life.
Personalized training, practical programs, and straightforward guidance to help you move better, feel stronger, and stay capable for the long term.
Coaching backed by science, built for real life.
I'm Zachary Nance — an exercise scientist and strength coach. I use what the research actually says about strength, movement, and recovery to build programs that fit real people at every stage.
The background behind the coaching.
B.S. Exercise Physiology
A degree in how the body actually adapts to training, moves, and recovers — the foundation of every program I write.
Exercise Scientist
I apply evidence from strength, conditioning, and rehab research so your training decisions aren't guesses.
Personalized Programming
Every program is written for you — your schedule, your history, your goals — not pulled off a shelf.
In-Person & Online Coaching
Train with me in Colorado Springs or work together online from anywhere.
Questions people ask before starting
Straight answers on cost, how online coaching works, and what to expect.
How much does online coaching cost?
Online coaching programs start at $149/month, with 4-week and 6-week fixed-length programs available. In-person training in Colorado Springs is priced per session — reach out and we'll match a plan to your goals and budget.
How does online coaching actually work?
Your program is delivered through the Trainerize app. Each week you get workouts with video demos, sets, reps, and rest built for your goals. You log every session, message me with questions, and I adjust the plan based on what your data shows.
Do I need a gym to train with you?
No. Programs can be built for a full commercial gym, a home setup with dumbbells and a bench, or bodyweight only. Tell me what equipment you have and I'll build around it.
Are you an exercise scientist or a personal trainer?
Both. I hold a bachelor's degree in exercise physiology and coach one-on-one and online. That means your program is built on evidence, not fitness trends.
Do you train people in Colorado Springs in person?
Yes. In-person one-on-one training is available in Colorado Springs. Online coaching is available anywhere.
How long until I see results?
Most people feel stronger and move better within 3–4 weeks. Visible body composition changes typically show between weeks 6 and 12, depending on consistency, sleep, and nutrition. The plan is built for the long term — not a 30-day promise.
