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!!

Absolutely Amazing. He is the REAL Deal & Cares!!!

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! �����

  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!

  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!

  When I first spoke to Garrett, I told him I wanted to cut fat but keep my strength. I had tried a couple of cuts before with minimal success and significant strength loss. I have been working with Garrett for about 9 weeks and I'm losing weight and lifting better than I ever have.

I was fed up with gaining weight, pants that felt too tight, not feeling comfortable/confident in my clothes, not sleeping well, and was struggling with energy. I knew something needed to change. I had tried other diet programs in the past, but had trouble sticking with it, or would lose weight just to have it creep back up again. I saw that a high school classmate of mine had success working with Garrett and checked it out. This is the best thing I could have ever done! I'm just a normal gal - married, work full-time, mom of two - with all the normal stresses we all have. Garrett helped me work a plan he put together for me after getting to know what my day-to-day life was like and the goals I wanted to achieve. It was different than anything I had ever tried before...and it worked!! I'm down 2 dress sizes, 20 pounds, and 20 inches in 6 mos!! I have a lot more energy, I'm sleeping better, and I'm enjoying how I look in clothes. And, the great thing is...you get to eat normal food (gasp)! I was able to do this with the only exercise my crazy life could accommodate at this time...walking! No crazy stuff here, folks. Just good, straight-forward advice that ANYONE can follow. He is very encouraging, has great tools to help you along the way, and is a great motivator. I highly recommend if you're ready for a change to work with Garrett!

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!

  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'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!

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!

Garrett is just one of those people that you just want to be around. You want and value his friendship more and more each day that passes. His knowledge with this industry is on another level. I continue to learn from him as I continue to master this craft of being fit, happy, healthy BETTER! Knowing him will simply make you a better person, inside and out. Make the investment in your health! In a nutshell, when I grow up lol I want to be like him. Thank you my friend!

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.

I've appreciated Garrett's common-sense approach to nutrition and goal-setting. He's provided encouragement and insight that has helped me make reasonable, behavioral changes I can maintain for life. I know that his help has been key to the success I've had so far and continue to work toward.

  hey everyone! Garrett is the best health coach I've ever encountered. he actually cares about you and your goals. he's not just someone that throws facts at you that you don't understand then doesn't help you at all. He helps and a lot. I've lost so much weight under his guidance and on top of that I've gained A LOT of muscle so most of weight loss is pure fat! I was dieting long before I met him I did lose 12 lbs however I was not happy! Dieting sucks. now I don't feel like I'm dieting but rather feel GREAT and losing body fat is a plus while feeling good! 10000000000000% recommended!!

  Coach g is AMAZING! He sets forth a plan that is just your own. He listens to your wants, needs and frustrations throughout the dieting process! Always offers great sound advice and cheers you on! Coach g truly cares about your success 🙂 I recommend Coach g and the whole Tandem Team!

  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

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.

  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.

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.

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

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.

  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.

  So many great things to say about the Tandem Team! I had the privilege of working with Jason Barnes as my coach and he was the most helpful, positive, and motivating Coach I could have had. Garrett and Jason often offered words of encouragement and were always there to answer any questions I had. I started my journey with Tandem wanting to be a physique competitor, and over the course of my 11 week prep, the knowledge and information they shared with me was always science-backed, so I had a sense of comfort knowing I was doing the best I could for my body while on a prep. I loved having the support from not only Garrett and Jason, but the whole Tandem community, as multiple people would reach out to me regarding my progress! Another one of my favorite things Tandem Nutrition offers is community events, so you can tell they are invested in making the community a healthier, happier place. I love what you guys are doing, and keep up the great work!

Garrett is amazing!!! He is exceptionally knowledgeable in all areas of fitness. He brings a positive attitude and energy to all of his instructions and advice. He is truly an amazing coach!!

  This has been an amazing experience! These last 13 weeks has been a life changing period of time! If you are tired of searching for the just the "next thing" this is where your search ends! You will not regret making the investment in yourself for a better future!

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.

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.

  I've been involved in some sort of fitness most of my life. As I got into my 40s I slacked off. Believe me that is not the age to do it! In the past 2 years I've really applied myself to training for a better physique. With all of the hours in the gym mounting up, I still wasn't seeing the result that I wanted. Garrett taught me that I can't out-train a bad diet. Many of the principles he teaches I "sort of knew." But it has been the fine points that have helped me the most. I eat foods I love because Garrett based my plan around those foods, and I feel great. I'm still not at my goal, but I know with Garretts help I will be!! One of the best decisions for my health I've ever made!

  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 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. ??

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!

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

  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 been working with Coach Jason for a month now and I am beyond happy with my progress thus far!! I still have 12 weeks left of my program and I can’t wait to see the changes at the end of this! Tandem Nutrition takes the hard work out of eating healthy by providing you all the tools you need to be successful, you just have to be willing to make the changes to see results! Positive, encouraging, and super knowledgeable are just a few of the words I’d use to describe Jason and the Tandem team!
