“I Lost 18 lbs, Pant Size From 12 – 6”
After making the decision to invest in ME in 2010 I started looking online at trainers in the Tampa area. RobZFitness caught my eye because the website was full of useful information and amazing client testimonials. Unlike some of the other trainers I had contacted I knew immediately after talking with Rob on the phone that he was genuinely interested in helping me achieve my greatest level of fitness. At my first consultation with Rob I told him I wanted to be in the best shape of my life and comfortably in a size 8 again.
I’ve always been athletic and working out has been a regular part of my life. However, over the last few years of frequent travel, company dinners, and an active social life (which routinely resulted in late night drive thru or unhealthy snacking) I started seeing the weight pack on. Despite my commitment to working out and trying every fad diet on the market I couldn’t get the weight off. I was feeling less and less comfortable in my skin and decided it was time for some professional help!
The first thing I learned was that I obviously hadn’t been pushing myself hard enough on my own. I used to lift weights that I thought were challenging but before I knew it I was lifting double the weight! He also taught me that eating right is a huge part of the success plan and eating less is NOT the answer. Adopting to a supportive eating plan was easier than any of those crazy restrictive diets I had tried.
After the first month I noticed my clothes fitting differently and my strength and endurance increasing by leaps and bounds. After two months my clothes were literally falling off me and people were noticing the difference. After the third month of training I had pretty much had all my pants and dresses altered TWICE and my muscle definition and new shape was getting a lot of attention from co workers, family, and friends. I learned it’s true what they say…cardio and aerobics are great but it will never give you the kind of body shaping results that weight training will! He told me to trust him very early on when I told him I was afraid of “bulking up” and I sure am glad I did because he definitely didn’t let me down!
They are amazing trainers. Their knowledge, passion, and encouragement inspired me to reach further and further. Now I know that my potential is limitless. After five months I’m definitely in the best shape of my life! I’ve lost 18 lbs. of body weight and gained that amount in lean muscle. I’ve gone from 33% body fat to 15% and feel more confident than I ever have! The only goal I didn’t make was getting into that size 8…I’m in a size 6 instead!!

“Lost 52 lbs, 12.5% Body Fat, 5 inches Waist”
Four months ago, I sat in my dorm room cramming for finals. I was reviewing notes, practicing problems, and eating some pizza in the meantime. It was when I looked at the reflection in my computer screen I noticed the real issue. My face – stuffed cheeks, greasy lips, and a second chin beneath it – was horrific. I was not happy with what I saw. The person looking back at me was not the person I see in my mind. I thought of myself as a smart person with strong goals and a happy life. I saw someone who couldn’t control bad habits and constantly ignored signs of poor health and inactivity. I did not go to college to gain weight, lose focus, and become a diabetic; I concentrated too much on my studies that I lost sight of some of the true priorities in life. Unable to continue with the matter, I shut off the computer screen, threw away the rest of the pizza, and resumed studying. I knew this issue needed to be addressed in the near future.
In the midst of finals week, I sat in one of my favorite restaurants eating one of my favorite meals: smoked cheeseburger with fresh cut fries. Looking for something to read, I picked up an Osprey Observer at the counter and glanced through the articles. I came upon a testimonial from a client from RobZFitness who lost a 100 pounds. I was astonished. I thought those kind of numbers are for Biggest Loser contestants or gastric bypass patients. Once again gorged with burger grease and oily hands, I said enough is enough. How can I, an eighteen-year-old kid with many years ahead of me, sit around while other people are doing something about their lives? I kept the article, returned home, and decided to give it a shot and make the call.
That night, I spoke to Rob Zulkoski. I told him who I was and where I wanted to be. I was a USF freshman severely overweight. I would be committed to the program and do whatever asked of me. I wanted confidence back, I wanted a healthy future, and I wanted a lifestyle change. I was promised all of those things. The next day, I came in to meet him and get evaluated for the weight loss program. I started out weighing 250 pounds with 33% body fat. I never thought it was that bad; it was surely quite a shock. After a few more tests and measurements, my percentile ranking for men my age was 3. That’s it. 97% of eighteen-year-olds were in better shape than I was. It was time for that to change. I signed up for a long-term commitment at the studio and was ready for a new beginning.
Four months later, I happily weigh only 198 pounds, losing a total of 52 pounds to this date. My body fat percentage dropped from 33% to 20.5%. My percentile ranking improved to 24 and the feeling is unbelievable. I climbed the Bank of America building in downtown Tampa – all 42 flights – in just over ten minutes. Never did I believe that I could accomplish all that in sixteen weeks. It’s amazing how effective Rob’s system is. If you follow the plan, eat right, and stay focused, there is no reason not to expect big results. The trainers are encouraging, firm, and have faith in your abilities. You work out with others who are going through the same process and it’s certainly beneficial to have a support system to help you through the adjustments. I am finally looking in the mirror and seeing the person that I’ve always pictured myself to be. I look forward to continuing with the plan through the coming months and maintaining a healthy lifestyle for many years to come. Thank you RobZFitness for getting me back on track and giving me a fresh start on life.

“Lost 25lbs, 11% Body Fat, 4.5” in Waist”
Like many people, my life is busy. Between raising a family and teaching, there were few moments left in my day for me. Exercise was one of those things that I’d get to if I could…but rarely did. I always felt like I was running on empty. Then there was food. If it was sweet, then it was for me. I had tried a variety of programs over the years, but could never find one that would stick. Each time the weight I lost would find its way back…and usually it brought along a friend or two. While I was never pleased about this, I trudged along with the daily routine figuring I’d fix it when I had time.
Then for Christmas, my wonderful husband gave me the best present ever…time at RobZFitness. At my initial consultation, I learned that I was in better shape than 1% of women my age. WOW! Suddenly, putting me last did not seem like such a good plan anymore, so I signed up for a three month program and hoped for the best.
Would I describe changing my entire thought process about exercise and eating as easy? No…but necessary to get healthy. I was impressed with the fitness and supportive eating plan and thrilled that it is based on scientific data and backed by actual results. The entire family has benefited from the change to more wholesome and less processed foods.
However, the thing that impressed me most about RobZFitness was the compassion, encouragement, and support I received from my personal trainer Taylor Green. Having never worked out like this in my life, there were many things I was hesitant to try or simply was too out of shape to do. (I couldn’t even jump rope anymore!) But as any good student would, I followed the directions and did what I was asked to do…with a smile on my face. And boy am I glad I did!
In the three months that I trained at RobZFitness with Taylor, I lost 25 pounds of weight and 11% body fat. Having lost 4.5” around my waist, I’m also down three pant sizes and have the energy that I remember from before having children. I am building more lean muscle every week and have improved my cardio greatly. I am excited about the changes I’m seeing in myself and my daily routine, from the way I’m choosing food to the time I allow myself to exercise. This has been an amazing start to the ever improving me. RobZFitness gets an “A” in my book!
