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!!

  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.

  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.

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!

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.

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 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!

  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!

  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!

  I’ve learned so much information about fat loss and nutritional information! Love Coach g and his team! Their knowledge is so valuable ! I’d give them 5 stars!

  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 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.

  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. ??

  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!

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 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 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!

  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 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!

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

  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!!

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 very knowledgeable and knows how to individualize your program so it works for you. He’s very motivating and makes this an easy process/transition. I’m a personal trainer, but my nutrition was lacking and what I was doing wasn’t working. Garrett helped me get my nutrition back on track. I highly recommend him!

  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.

  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!

  Garrett gives new meaning to “going above and beyond.” He is so genuinely passionate about nutrition as a craft. Flexible in his approach. And always positive in his support. On top of all he help he’s provided me as a remote client, a family member of mine needed a very specific type of Registered Dietician to coincide with medical treatment she was receiving. Garrett called businesses local to her until he found a match. I was blown away by how far he went to help.

  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 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.

  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!

  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.

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