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!

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!

  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!

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 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.

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

  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.

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.

  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?

  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!

  motivation. responsiveness. supportive. non judgemental. open forum

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

  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.

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'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!

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 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!

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

  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 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 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!

  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!

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

  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!

  I worked with coach g for a bodybuilding show in 2018. He was on top of everything from day one. I never felt lost in the process and I felt the communication between us stayed open the whole time and only got better as we approached show day. I enjoyed the experience with coach and loved his upbeat attitude.

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

  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 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!!

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.

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

  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 been awesome! I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but Garrett helped explain Macros to me and got my nutrition on track. As a long distance runner, I have already improved immensely, by increasing my speed and distance. Next up is a strength program which I am excited to start. Thanks 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!

  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!

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.
