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.

Working with Garrett has been a great experience. With all of the education he front loads into the program, I have really been able to shift my mindset. I am so happy with the process and getting results I have never seen before!! More than worth the time, effort and money spent!!

  Garrett and his team are knowledgeable and approachable! They will help you sort through the crazy amount of information available to anyone trying to get healthier, lose weight or eat "better."

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'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.

  Garrett is a wonderful coach!! He is so knowledgeable. I love the fact that you can be at any stage of your journey and Garrett along with his coaches are there to help you. So encouraging.

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!

  Awesome coaches, great nutritional guidance and training information, and always encouraging. This team, and especially coach g, have been a real life changer for me!

  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!

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.

  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!

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!!

  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 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!

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! �����

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

  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.

  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?

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.

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.

  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 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!

  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!

  Garrett Serd is so passionate about helping others reach their goals. He is knowledgeable in all things health and fitness and goes out of his way to communicate and help his clients succeed. I especially recommend Garrett if you're looking to compete or are an athlete looking to up your game, you will not regret it!

  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!!

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.

  Great people posting great information, education, and encouragement.

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

  I cannot say enough positive things about my experience in working with Garrett. He is very knowledgeable and I can guarantee he wants you to meet your goal just as much as you do! He is also the most understanding and motivating guy I know. He will be with you every step of the way! I can’t tell you how many times I messaged him with random questions pertaining to my diet and he was quick to respond with everything I needed to know plus more. I will forever be grateful for the impact he has made in my life on the way I view food and take care of my body! Knowledge is power and he certainly taught me a ton!!

  The Tandem Nutrition team absolutely knows what they're talking about! They're full of useful information, and I love that they preach eating the foods you love while becoming healthier. I don't at all understand Coach g's obsession with pancakes ?, but I guess I can let that slide ? #teamwaffles ? If you're looking for coaches who are willing to work with you, who are kind and supportive, but who are also willing to tell you the truth when you need to hear it, these are the folks for you.

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.

  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 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!

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