Garrett understands food ingredients in a way that most do not. He translates this to common sense small changes in daily food choices that are easy to adopt. As a client of his for over a year, I highly recommend his services.

Garrett is awesome! He is so supportive, positive and motivational. He has so much knowledge and is definitely a great asset to anyone who is trying to make changes or maintain a healthy lifestyle.

  Tandem Nutrition and Coach g has given me awesome support and a plan that is sustainable and fits my lifestyle! I have been through every type of fad and diet imaginable and this is the first one that allows me to eat what I love and still lose fat! Thank you so much Coach g and Tandem!

  Knowledgeable people giving you the information that will help you on your journey to being healthier. No magic, just straight forward information backed by science

  I have been working with Garrett since July, following a bikini competition. I was in a really bad place physically and mentally, rebounding badly after my show. When I first started working with Garret, we focused on hitting a specific calorie goal instead of macros. This helped me so much mentally. Garrett took the time to sit down with me and discuss my goals and plans in the NPC. He was 100% supportive and attentive to my goals while also being honest about my need to take a year off from the stage. He is one of the most knowledgeable people I know in this field, and always takes the time to answer my questions and explain his reasoning behind protocols. Garret puts the health of his clients first and truly wants them to succeed. I would recommend Garret to anyone looking to lose weight, get fit, or prep for a competition!

  Working with Coach g and his team is a game changing experience. Not only do you receive knowledgeable advice in regards to nutrition and fitness, but you also receive a support group and true accountability when working with Tandem Nutrition. Garrett truly cares about every person in this group beyond just their health goals, but in their personal life as well. He demonstrates this by recognizing birthdays, checking in with individuals, and the occasional pancake meet up. Tandem Nutrition truly is about doing life alongside each other; together in this health and fitness journey. Thanks Coach g for your willingness to share your experience, and wisdom with this group!

  Daily encouragement every time I open Facebook! I love that you share your heart, passion, and faith consistently. Thank you!

  Where do I start? This experience with Garret and the Tandem Team has been nothing short of amazing. Their knowledge and expertise towards exercise and nutrition is unmatched! I have personally been working with Garret, and have reached monumental goals that I never thought would be possible! I give him and the Tandem Team a 10/10 and I will continue to work with them in the years to come. They provide great insight on nutrition and other health related subjects on a constant basis. Their goals are directly in line with helping others be the best they can be! Thank you all!

After several overly stressful years in my previous career, I found I had "somehow" gained a whole lot of weight! I knew I needed a big change, and I knew I had zero interest in all those "diets" out there. I felt like most coaches just wanted to sell me something. 😉 I was referred to Garrett by friends at Orange Theory in Fishers, IN. And "WHOAAA" as Garrett would say when he's excited for me, I was immediately in love with his knowledge, experience, the plan he built for me and his never-ending fun and positivity! I do not believe I would not have been successful without Garrett coaching me and holding me accountable. He totally works with you as a partner, meets you where you are, and coaches you as if you are his only client. I took a bit slower approach than others might because it worked well for me. End result? 24 weeks, 24 pounds gone, lots and lots of inches gone, 3 dress sizes down. The best part? What I've learned from my time with Garrett is not "how to go on a diet and lost weight." It's better than that. I've learned how to eat right every day, for a lifetime!

  What a great experience being coach by Coach Garrett! From now on I know who to go to for any fitness needs and the only person I would recommend. I knew something was going to be special about my time with Tandem Nutrition. At the beginning with a phone interview to truly understand my why for dieting and get to know me so a personalized planned could be created specifically for me and consistently providing support. I’ve had multiple coaches in the past but nothing like Coach Garrett. If you are looking to change, lost or just need guidance, look no further then the team at Tandem! With Garrett you aren’t just a client, you are more like family. Also Coach Garrett is by far the ultimate pancake connoisseur I’ve ever met and you are always invited to chow down some pancakes with him and the family at Tandem Nutrition!

  they are very helpful,knowledgeable and straight forward. I have learned so much here.

I began working with Garrett after setting a goal to compete in an NPC Bikini competition. Two shows later and I could not have asked for a more supportive, engaging, and knowledgeable coach! We started working together about 9 months before my first show, and started off in a “muscle growing” phase. Gaining weight can be scary (and psychologically tough), but it was a crucial part of attaining my goal! Garrett was phenomenal every step of the way - coaching me through counting macros (I had no idea what I was doing), gaining weight (I really didn’t love this process), losing weight, hitting plateaus, reversing out of my competition prep diet - you name it. One thing I appreciate about Garrett is that he is truly the definition of “coach.” He has never told me I HAVE to do something and I never feel like I’m going to disappoint him. He has made sure I understood WHY we were doing everything and the science behind it. Garrett met me wherever I was at mentally/emotionally and is really great at reading into those things - if I was frustrated, he was understanding; discouraged, he was motivating; excited, he was 10x more excited. It’s comforting to have some who is 100% on your side and will do everything to help you reach your goals. I haven’t committed to competing again in the future, but if I do I will absolutely work with Garrett again. I’d rather never eat peanut butter again (LOL not happening!!!) than work with someone else. Thanks, Garrett!!!

  I was introduced to Garrett and Tandem Nutrition through a friend that had great results. Working with Garrett, or Coach g, was the best decision of my life! I had previously struggled to stay consistent with my diet as I fell victim to many so called "fad diets." Coach g helped me realize that I could still enjoy food and be healthy at the same time! I saw great results and lost, and kept off, around 20 pounds during our time together. He truly cares about each one of his clients and Tandem has a great team of dedicated and compassionate individuals. If you are ready to make sustainable life changes look no further than Tandem!

Working with Garrett has been a rewarding experience and a great investment for my health. Learning more about nutrition and having someone hold me accountable was something I needed to help get me in the right direction. He always answered my questions and was very prompt at getting back to me. I have a very busy life that I enjoy, which makes nutrition go out the window at times. Working with Garrett I learned how to look at some foods differently and find alteratives to what I was already doing. It was a great learning experience and I would recommend him to anyone looking to take the next step on their fitness/health journey. Great job Garrett!!

Have you tried every diet only to fail? You name it I’ve tried it. I started working with Garrett in July. I had been working out 5 times a week faithfully. Only I was stuck. I had been trying to lose weight but this time I couldn’t. I was to the point of giving up. Garrett has changed my life! He is so knowledgeable, he is so responsive to all your questions. He truly gets involved and genuinely cares about you as an individual. I have been so successful since I met Garrett! He is amazing! Sometimes there are not enough words to describe how great of a person he is.

I've tried everything....starving myself, going to the gym daily, low carb, low fat, high protein, etc., etc., etc. I would get so frustrated after trying these "fads" that I would become demotivated within 2 weeks and give up. I got to a point where my clothes didn't fit, I was tired and didn't feel healthy. Finally, I was introduced to Tandem Nutrition and this has been life changing. Garrett taught me the basic concepts of Macros and what good nutrition looks like. He has debunked myths that I have followed for years that were never successful. Finally, I have a nutrition plan that I can follow with normal, everyday food and am now much more knowledgable of what a good diet looks like. Garrett holds you accountable but also recognizes that life can get in the way and is your biggest cheerleader. He is reachable 24/7, always pleasant and supportive. Thank you Garrett for your expertise and support...you have been a blessing to me.

As soon as i started working with Garrett my whole mindset changed on staying motivated / dedicated! i love how he treats you as if you were his main focus! it’s a great feeling to know he’ll check up on you and/or work through ANY question or issue you have! You work as a Team together and he’s not just a coach telling you to do this or that because he says so. i look forward to his replies back on check in days and trust him with my goals. (there’s not many i can say i trust with my fitness / nutrition) He’s super quick in responding too! Any question you have is answered, and he never just has you do something without telling you WHY. He makes sure you’re on the same page, understanding the game plan and why he has you doing something. He really listens to you with what is going on with your body, life, or anything that plays a role in your nutrition / fitness. He factors those types of things into your plan, which makes him even better. I’ve had other nutrition help, and i never felt like i was a priority, more like a number, so the fact that Garrett is by your side along for the ride with you makes you WANT to stick to reaching your goals even more. Nothing but positives from me! He’s awesome!! Never have i had such awesome and CONSISTENT changes like i have.

  I COULD NOT HAVE ACHIEVED MY DREAMS OF COMPETING IF IT WERE NOT FOR THIS TEAM ? • • • I have never had such an amazing, supportive and loving team by my side and it has been worth every dime to become an active member of this team. I honestly don’t know what I will ever do without them. They have become family to me. Jason and Garrett in particular can help you reach any goal you have in mind and work with you to bounce back if you struggle or even fail. They treat you like family because when you join Tandem you ARE family?

  Their information is very practical and beneficial!!!!!!

  motivation. responsiveness. supportive. non judgemental. open forum

  I have been working with Garret for a couple months now as I’ve been cutting down for photoshoots and I could not speak more highly of him. As a fitness model and nutrition coach myself , you could say I’m pretty picky about who I’d listen to for my own nutrition guidance, but I couldn’t have made a better choice than Garret! He is truly one of the best in the industry and I’d recommend him to anyone and everyone with a goal!

  I absolutely love the enthusiasm of this team and all of the great information shared daily!

Garrett worked with me for body recompositioning and I couldn't be more pleased! While losing fat and gaining muscle, he was there with tips, advice, and quickly answered any of my questions. His knowledge of nutrition and macro counting that he has shared with me has helped me make better food choices on a daily basis. I highly recommend Garret to anyone wanting to make a change in their body composition!

  I started my journey 3 months ago with Tandem Nutrition (working with coach Kasey). In these past 3 months I have learned so much about myself, let alone how to lose fat. I honestly didn’t think I could lose fat and weight on my own. I started this journey at 183 lbs and today I weight in at 168.4. I’m extremely proud of myself for the goals I have accomplished during this time. I am extremely grateful for Tandem Nutrition. Coach Kasey is an amazing person and taught me a lot. Thank you!

  I have always struggled with my weight. In high school I weighed 315lbs. I've lost weight through various fad diets but always gained the weight back. THANK GOD for COACH g!!!! He is such an educator! Explaining the WHAT and the HOW behind FAT loss!! He's only worked with me for 2 months and I've LOST over 20 POUNDS! I am getting the best sleep I've ever experienced! I wake up feeling rested and energized! I don't have the back pain I used to have with lifting weights! I've LOST 7.5 INCHES around my waist! And the great part about all this is I can eat ANY FOODS that I want! Coach g doesn't tell you what you can or can't eat...HE TEACHES YOU HOW TO EAT! I wish I would have known this stuff in high school! I was nervous about hiring a coach who lives in a different time-zone, but I couldn't be happier with the results I'm getting! If you want to lose fat and get in the best shape of your life, you should work with Coach g and his team!!!!

  I've been working with Garrett for over 6 months now to improve both how I look and feel. Being a highly experienced Health and Fitness coach myself, I can say that his knowledge and commitment to personal relationships is the BEST I've ever experienced in ANY business. Working with Garrett one-on-one has saved me both TIME and MONEY. Not only am I in the best shape of my life, but I am stronger mentally and emotionally all because of Garrett's guidance. If you're looking for a solution to be the best version of yourself...this is it!

If you’re looking for someone to assist you in reaching your weight loss goal, look no further. From the beginning until now Garrett has been fantastic: professional, incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, thorough, understanding and my biggest cheerleader. Garrett is easy to communicate with and responds to my questions and concerns in a great timeframe. I had lost a considerable amount of weight a few years back and due to the stress of a natural disaster I had gained back nearly 30 lbs. I was stuck and couldn’t figure out what to do to get motivated. I reached out to Garrett and within a brief period of time he got me back on the path. He listened to me, asked me all the right questions and formulated a plan to help me lose weight and work towards maintaining good overall health. So far I’ve lost a little over 10lbs at a safe and reasonably comfortable pace. I’m still working on the last 16lbs and do so with complete confidence with Garrett as my Coach! �����

  What if I told you, there is a trainer who is breaking the mold of diet and training? What if I told you, you could eat the foods you love and still have a plan to lose fat and keep it off? Then, Tandem Nutrition and Coach g (Garrett Serd) are the answer to your struggles. Don’t be like me, don’t waste your time stalking this man on various social media to see what he’s saying and what others are saying about him (I followed him on IG and FB for nearly two years). Without a doubt I’d recommend coach g to anyone looking for nutrition and training guidance. But you get so much more than just that, he’s a great motivator, he’s always positive, he’s a spiritual and religious guide as well (for those who want it, he’s never pushing anything on anyone), think of coach g as a life coach. It’s a total package, body, soul and mind!! Coach g truly does care about his clients, he’s checked on me more than I have, he has always kept the lines of communication open. I have dealt with other online coaches in the past who barely cared if I even checked in and were too busy with other things. Coach g brings his focus, positivity and dedication to each client. His portfolio of clients is the real testament to his success. His training and nutrition plan approach is amazing and hits all your needs, but I’d recommend you come with questions and that’s where you will see why he’s the best. He will listen to you concerns, he will make changes where and when needed, best of all you will notice how humble he is in his method. He will never push an agenda, he wants you to be happy and have the tools to be successful in attaining your goals. Coach g is truly in tandem with your success and goals. Its not a one size fits all approach at all, yeah there might be similarities in the approach but each one of his clients has their own customized training and nutrition plan, which I love. He will make himself available when you need him, he offers so much of his time and knowledge in pursuit of dispelling the many myths around training and nutrition. Just follow him on IG or FB, it’s a free education on those topics, imagine what you’d get if you hired him as your coach.

Tandem Nutrition and Garrett have been fabulous to work with! I couldn’t ask for any better support, encouragement or results. The results have been great and the response and availability when having a question or needing something if super helpful! I’ve learned a lot and it’s been exactly what I was looking for! Can’t wait to see the results keep coming to get to my goals!

Garrett is a true professional has a complete understanding of macros needed, physical conditioning needed and blood chemistry. He has helped me learn how to approach all three of these key factors to better my life. He is not intrusive but compassionate about his approach. Give him a try if your willing he can help. He has for me and I know others who have experianced the same.

Garrett has been so helpful. Mentally I know how to eat to be healthy, but having G walk with me has been wonderful. He has listened to my thoughts on calories with my age and physical abilities and adjusted where it was needed. The way he coaches and his encouragement speaks to me and motivates me to want to be better each day! He is a true blessing in many ways.

  Tandem Nutrition is the real deal! Garrett is awesome! and extremely knowledgeable. I’m not a member of one of his programs but he always finds time to answer my questions when I ask! Thank You Garrett!

I began working with Garrett in November to structure a program to enhance my nutritional goals. I have found him to be very professional and easy to work with. He responds very quickly to any question that I may have and also provides materials for me to read to support his recommendations. I am well on my way in achieving my goal. I am thankful for Garrett and the program that he has set. I would highly recommend Garrett to anyone! Thank you Garrett!

  Extremely credible, reliable, and accurate information and strategies concerning all your bodybuilding and dieting/ fat loss questions. All the coaches on this team are extremely professional and knowledgeable and experienced in the health industry and have help me pave a way to making my competing dreams become a reality.

I love that Garrett offers such personalized nutrition coaching with accountability, which is what I needed. He is very knowledgable, professional, and responsive to all my questions. He has an upbeat personality and is very encouraging and supportive. His emails put a smile on my face and he has taken a genuine interest in helping me achieve my goals. He has been wonderful to work with and has really helped me take things to the next level!

I have been working with Garrett for about 8 weeks now. I'm beyond blown away with his attention to detail. I have done every yo yo diet in the world and for the first time in quite some time I'm eating foods I enjoy AND losing weight. In the time we've spent together I'm down 14 overall body inches and several pounds. I've hit PRs with lifts I've trained for years on and overall I'm thrilled. I highly recommend Garrett to anyone wanting someone who can program macros and workouts as well as having an awesome motivator in your corner.
