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!

  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."

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

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

  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.

  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 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.

  I began following Garrett on Facebook because of the great information he posts, and after following his social media presence in the nutrition industry for a little while, I finally reached out to him directly. Garrett was immediately responsive despite not knowing anything about me. Ever since our initial interaction, Garrett continues to impress me with his passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge. He strives to help others grow, improve, and become their best self in many aspects of life, even beyond nutrition. Garrett carves time out of his busy schedule to help me grow my business in DC out of the kindness of his heart — truly selfless. I'm honored he sets time aside to help me develop. Garrett is thoughtful in his responses, his questions, and is incredibly motivating. I learn a ton from him every time we interact. Garrett genuinely cares for each and every one of his clients and works tirelessly to guide them and support their success. His extensive knowledge and education paired with his empathy, energy, work ethic, and upstanding character — it's a top-notch recipe for an amazing coach!

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!

  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.

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.

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

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! �����

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

  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!

  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!

  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.

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 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.

  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!

  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!

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!!

  motivation. responsiveness. supportive. non judgemental. open forum

  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!

  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!

  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!!

  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. ??

  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 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!

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 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!

  I started my journey 3 months ago with Tandem Nutrition (working with coach Kasey). In these past 3 months I have learned so much about myself, let alone how to lose fat. I honestly didn’t think I could lose fat and weight on my own. I started this journey at 183 lbs and today I weight in at 168.4. I’m extremely proud of myself for the goals I have accomplished during this time. I am extremely grateful for Tandem Nutrition. Coach Kasey is an amazing person and taught me a lot. Thank you!

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!!

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