“I never knew exactly what to do “
“After having two kids, one day I realized I was not happy with how I had let my body go. This was not who I was. I began working out on my own, but saw minimal results. I never knew exactly what to do or how to do it. That’s when I saw Rob’s personal training ad and I thought maybe that’s what I needed to get back into shape.”
“After training with Rob at my house for 4 months, I had lost almost 6% body fat. My clothes were fitting better and I was learning the correct way to exercise. At the end of those 4 months I decided to try exercising on my own. The positive results stopped. I realized I needed the motivation, accountability and expertise of a trainer; especially one like Rob. He encourages me to push myself. Even when I feel like I can’t do another push-up, he convinces me that I can do at least one more. I believe him and I actually do it! That’s a great feeling.”
“I called Rob again when he opened his new studio off Lithia Pinecrest. There are so many more exercises we can do now with his new equipment. I worked hard that first month back, but I did not follow Rob’s eating plan as closely as I should have nor did I do the cardio activity I needed to do. The results were lacking. Every measurement for body fat was exactly the same as the month before. It was disappointing, but it proved to me that Rob’s plan really works.”
“After those limited results, I was determined to stick to the plan. I still worked hard with Rob and Davie in the fitness center, but I also stayed on the eating plan and did cardio activity on my days in between strength training. One month later, my body fat is down almost 3%. I have now gone from a size 8 to a 4.”
“Both Rob and Davie know how to get the results you need in order to change your body. They make workouts fun, everything from jumping rope to tricks with playing cards.

Losing Weight the Zulkoski Way
By Lisa Mook Sang – Osprey Observer
He doesn’t call it his trophy belt for nothing.
The belt, which used to fit a size 48-inch waist, now has had to be adjusted to fit 59-year-old Emilio Rivera’s 36-inch waist, as the Bloomingdale resident lost 50-pounds following RobZFitness owner Rob Zulkoski’s weight-loss program. “It practically wraps wound my body. It’s my key, I just look at my belt to get my inspiration,” Rivera said. “I’ve had to punch seven holes in it just so it will fit.” Since late February, Rivera has been training regularly with Zulkoski with the goal of losing weight by his son’s wedding in July. “I just wanted to look good in the wedding pictures,” Rivera said. But he did even better by losing a staggering 50-pounds in just four-and-a-half months. “I feel younger, energized and it’s fun because now I can buy normal clothes,” Rivera said.
Before starting the weight-loss program Rivera was on a list of medications to treat health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes. However, after working with Zulkoski, his doctor took him off all of his medications. “Through his exercise and nutrition program my health had improved so much my doctor took me off my medicine and just told me to keep doing what I was doing,” Rivera said. Through a strict diet and exercise routine, Rivera went from 240-pounds to 190 in just four-and-a-half months.
“At first it was hard, but now it’s natural thing, and I never thought I’d say that, ” Rivera said. “It’s been an eye opener and now it’s become my lifestyle.” Zulkoski is no ordinary trainer either. He brings the program to your own home, and uses only free weights to whip you into shape. He also brings a more personal touch to the business. “His program is great, you don’t have to do the weight-loss program, but just be fit… he’s the man,” Rivera said. “He’s there for you, it’s almost like you have a personal relationship with him.” For more information about Zukoski or RobZFitness, call Rob at 571-3700 or visit www.RobZFitness.com.

I have been a long time friend of 15 years with Rob Zulkoski. Rob was after me for three years to come on board and help expand the business and change the way people feel and look for the better. It was a long time passion of mine to be fit and to do it the right way and I joined with Rob and RobZFitness on December 1st 2007.
I was born and raised in Tampa, FL and now reside in Brooksville, FL. I am a graduate of the University of Florida with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a minor in Management and Sales in Agribusiness. I am a Certified Personal Trainer through Aerobics and Fitness Association of America. I have been married to my wife Robin since March 25, 2006 and we are cherishing our bundle of joy, Emma Kate, who was born on August 10th 2007.
I grew up learning and experiencing the outdoors that God created for us with my father. I am proud to say that I am an avid outdoorsman who enjoys both fresh and saltwater fishing, hunting whitetails, hogs, and turkeys, four-wheeling, fitness and most of all, time with my family and friends. I am a huge fan of country music and my favorite artist is George Strait.
I was introduced to the fitness industry when I was a junior at the University of Florida. It was my goal to reduce body fat, increase lean muscle, and to achieve the most desired “six pack”. By making a change in my lifestyle, exercise program, and with a sound nutritional program I was able to reach my goals. Little did I know that I could take it this far. And oh by the way, I did it the “natural way”. I have had my body fat tested at 3.6% and Rob constantly reminds me of it every day by not allowing me to slack off. There is one thing that separates both Rob and I from other trainers…it’s that we walk the walk and talk the talk.
Both Rob and I are very passionate about what we do. Nothing excites us more than watching our clients reach their goals. Rob and I are committed to get you the ultimate strategy for lifetime physique transformation through a sound nutritional lifestyle and exercise. If you are ready to get in the best shape of your life, join us today. Our motto is “Always train to gain, never to maintain.” So give it your best and make the time each and every day.
