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!

  I have thoroughly enjoyed the last 13 weeks working with Garrett via 1:1 coaching. I have learned more about nutrition, balance, and how my body works than in the previous 33 years combined. I fully recommend the Tandem Team, regardless of your goals! I have zero desire for body competitions, but still got 100% focus towards my own goals of weight loss and energy gain. Thanks so much Team!

  Love this FB page and all the tips and encouragement! Thank you!

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

  Just started the 6 week shed program and nutrition coaching with Jason. I’m loving flexible the diet is, compared to others I’ve done in the past and Jason is always available to answer questions and give advice to make this for my schedule. I can’t wait to see where this takes me.

  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 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!

Where do I even begin? I have known Garrett for a couple years now and I have had the opportunity to get to know him a lot better over this past one. Even though I am not a client, Garrett has helped me tremendously - not only with health and fitness but also in business. He is always available to lend a hand - whether that is through answering my emails, Facebook messages, text messages, you name it.. He has a wealth of wisdom in all kinds of areas and is one of the best listeners out there. You can tell that he CARES and when it comes to friendships, relationships, or selecting a coach to help you in your health and fitness journey, that's the #1 quality that anyone should be looking for. I can only imagine the level of service Garrett extends to all of his clients at Tandem Nutrition.

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!!!

Garrett has been awesome! I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but Garrett helped explain Macros to me and got my nutrition on track. As a long distance runner, I have already improved immensely, by increasing my speed and distance. Next up is a strength program which I am excited to start. Thanks Garrett!!!

  I am new to Tandem Nutrition and I have found both Jason and Garrett so helpful, knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging and most of all so motivational!! If I have a question, the response time is quick and very informative. The workout program is great, I’m learning new movements which is motivating in the gym. I love all the nutritional posts and live videos. So glad I decided to join. ??

  If you’re like I was and know you need a change but are overwhelmed with all the “fitness” advice, Tandem Nutrition is the place for you. Not only did I lose a substantial amount of weight (30 lbs), but I also learned how to eat so I can keep the weight off. That’s the part that was missing from my previous attempts to lose weight. Tandem showed me it wasn’t just a diet, but a way of life. Coach Barnes and Coach g provide advice, accountability, and most importantly a way to get you to the life you want to live. I highly recommend Tandem Nutrition. You won’t regret signing up.

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

Loving my results that I've seen so far!! The way the nutrition plan is set up makes it easy to track & follow with my busy work schedule, & the workout program is proving to get me closer & closer to my goals!

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 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.

  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

  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!

  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?

  I worked with Garrett for over a year through multiple fat loss and maintenance phases, and I cannot say enough good things about my experience! He was so flexible and supportive, and was always there to answer my questions, no matter how small or silly they seemed. Not only did I get amazing results, both aesthetic and performance-based, but he really helped me change the way I think about food and dieting. I was still able to enjoy the important things in my life while still losing fat and gaining strength. He kept me accountable, and I felt like he was truly invested in my success, celebrating my wins and supporting me through the not-so-great days. Working with Garrett was an honor and a pleasure, and I would recommend him without any hesitation!

  Garret is incredibly knowledgeable. Having knowledge is only half the battle and he pairs that up with his likable personality. He isn’t trying to push what he knows, he would rather see you learn and grow throughout your relationship. I recommend him.

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

  Great people posting great information, education, and encouragement.

Garrett has been such an asset to my life as a friend, coach, and client! He is one of the friendliest guys around that has given 100% of his efforts to his education and clients. He also got me to the leanest I have ever been on the bodybuilding stage and I cannot thank him enough:) He is professional, empathetic, and truly cares about his client's success. He is constantly giving value each and every day. If you are thinking about working with him, at least follow his business. He posts informational posts every single day. Once you see the value that he adds, it will be a no-brainer! He will be the only choice.

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! �����

  motivation. responsiveness. supportive. non judgemental. open forum

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 has assembled one of the most knowledgeable group of individuals to help people lose fat. Always find values from his posts!! ?

  I worked with coach g for a bodybuilding show in 2018. He was on top of everything from day one. I never felt lost in the process and I felt the communication between us stayed open the whole time and only got better as we approached show day. I enjoyed the experience with coach and loved his upbeat attitude.

  excellent information and advice on nutrition, training, loss of body fat. Great people, amazing team! ??

  Garett is fantastic, full of knowledge, caring and helpful!!

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 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!

  Garrett is not only the most knowledgeable guy I've met from a training standpoint, but he takes great pride in his work. This translates into the biggest impact I've ever had from a trainer and I couldn't recommend him higher.
