Hello everyone! My name is Zach Escalera and I am here to help you achieve your individual goals, whether they be losing weight or improving the muscles you already have. I am certified through National Academy of Sports and Medicine, American College of Sports and Medicine, and I have an Associate's in Exercise Science, with three certifications in Personal Training and Nutrition. I have been helping people achieve their goals for 12 years and have been doing so in their homes, at their gyms and at my current location at Elevate Fitness, which is located on 51st and Bell Road in Glendale, Arizona. I just built a second location at my home as well. I find that there is a fine line between motivating clients and pushing them depending on where their individual fitness levels currently are! Safety and proper form are the most important factors when it comes to exercising and that is what I hold the highest when training clients.

While I assist and motivate you towards your goals, I will also be helping to increase your cardiovascular endurance, range of motion in your flexibility, and your overall muscular endurance/strength. I monitor your progress through taking measurements of the hips and waist and also through checking the body fat percentage with accurate body composition readings and techniques. I track your progress with an Omron Body Fat Loss Monitor. I also use body fat calipers to give you accurate results of your body fat percentage through 3 site and 7 site body fat testing. I give advice on what calories/macronutrients you should be using and I do write meal plans as well that are personalized for you. Lastly, I write up exercise strength/cardio plans so when I am not seeing you, you have a plan to work off of and it is also a way for me to keep track of where you are and what changes need to be made.

I am here to motivate you for as long as you are wanting to continue towards achieving your goals, which is why there are no contracts or binding obligations. Let me be the one to motivate you and help you achieve the goals you have set forth, together we can achieve them!
