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!

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.

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!

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.

  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 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 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!!!

  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.

  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.

  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 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!

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 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.

  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.

  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!

  I absolutely love the enthusiasm of this team and all of the great information shared daily!

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.

  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!

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.

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 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!

  I have always struggled with my weight. In high school I weighed 315lbs. I've lost weight through various fad diets but always gained the weight back. THANK GOD for COACH g!!!! He is such an educator! Explaining the WHAT and the HOW behind FAT loss!! He's only worked with me for 2 months and I've LOST over 20 POUNDS! I am getting the best sleep I've ever experienced! I wake up feeling rested and energized! I don't have the back pain I used to have with lifting weights! I've LOST 7.5 INCHES around my waist! And the great part about all this is I can eat ANY FOODS that I want! Coach g doesn't tell you what you can or can't eat...HE TEACHES YOU HOW TO EAT! I wish I would have known this stuff in high school! I was nervous about hiring a coach who lives in a different time-zone, but I couldn't be happier with the results I'm getting! If you want to lose fat and get in the best shape of your life, you should work with Coach g and his team!!!!

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!

  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!

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.

  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!

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

  Great people posting great information, education, and encouragement.

  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!

  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

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!!!

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

  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!
