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 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.

  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!

  Coach Garret is knowledgeable, responsive and helpful to the individuals in the group

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!!

  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!

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 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.

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

  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!

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

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!

  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 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!

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.

  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 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.

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

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 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!

  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.

  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 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!

  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 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 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 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!

  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!

  When I first spoke to Garrett, I told him I wanted to cut fat but keep my strength. I had tried a couple of cuts before with minimal success and significant strength loss. I have been working with Garrett for about 9 weeks and I'm losing weight and lifting better than I ever have.

  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.

  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!
