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!!

  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!

  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!

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.

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!!

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! �����

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!

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

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

  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 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!

  Super helpful and knowledgeable staff. If these guys can't help you reach your goals, nobody can

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 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.

  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!

  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'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.

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!

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

  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.

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

  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.

  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!

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

  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!!

  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!

  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!

  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.

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.

  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.

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