Training with Gabe over the past five months has been exactly what I needed to push my fitness to the next level. I was already in pretty good shape, but I felt like I’d hit a plateau and wasn’t sure how to improve further. That’s where … More Gabe came in.
From the start, he understood my goals and designed a program that challenged me without being overwhelming. Every workout was different, keeping things exciting and focused on making me stronger, faster, and more well-rounded. Gabe is amazing at spotting small adjustments to form or technique that make a huge difference in performance.
In just a few months, I’ve seen massive progress—not just in strength and endurance, but also in how I approach my workouts mentally. Gabe constantly pushes me out of my comfort zone and helps me realize I’m capable of way more than I thought. He also gives great advice on recovery and nutrition, which has been key to staying consistent and injury-free.
If you want to level up, Gabe is the trainer you need. He knows how to take what you’re already good at and make it even better. I couldn’t be happier with the results! -
I started working with Gaby when I realized I'd lost a lot of strength after turning 50. I've always been very active and eat well, but I'd suddenly realized it was harder to put my suitcase in the overhead bin when traveling. … More I'd had enough of that so I started strength training with Gaby and have seen a remarkable difference. Every time we measure muscle mass I get excited and proud. Gaby's individual workout plans are different each week and she's very knowledgeable in muscle function and structure, while promoting safety and form in her workout plans. She pushes me to walk out of our workouts feeling taller and stronger. Thanks Gaby!!!

If you are in need of change for the better, a gentle hand for guidance, or a serious kick in rear to get you going and keep you accountable to obtain the results you desire, then Gabriel Z. from Z Fit has that capacity to do both for you … More and calibrate anywhere in between for all personalities. I have known Gabriel personally for many years and to see him in a professional light working with me has aided me in putting myself in the place I needed not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally. I am a very busy soul with a demanding work schedule as an Engineering Project Manager with side investments that demand my time and energy (not to mention I’m planning a wedding with my fiancé), with that said, Z. Fit guided me with the online remote coaching platform option. I was surprised to the level of attention that I was receiving directly from my training and nutrition. His online videos and coaching are preferred (for me) because I get to do them around my schedule. Weekly calls, realistic goal setting, and accountability check-ins are some of the benefits I was able to receive in addition to my results. I highly recommend Z Fit because Gabriel is knowledgeable, balanced, and makes me laugh/motivated throughout this process. If you’re a busy 30 something year-old who isn’t getting the health you want, just give Gabriel a call, send him a message, take it from me your fat/muscle ratio and life will only get better. Thank yourself and him later! Thank you, Gabriel!!

Thanks … More to their guidance and the great facilities, I've seen great results and feel stronger than ever.

There are so many great facts I can write about Gabriel! Not even sure where to start:
Knowledgeable
Accommodating
Really sees what I need and pushes perfectly! I don't know how he deals with me...lol.
He has really helped me with … More my weaknesses! I need to gain muscle, lose weight, and firm up..not to mention, eat better.
He is so organized and makes sure he has a plan for each person he trains!!
I would definitely refer him! -
Gabriel is an amazing trainer. His knowledge of strength training and nutrition go hand in hand to helping me reach my goal. He is a walking example of fitness…his quads pop just standing up.
His patience and attentiveness are like no … More other. I see other trainers on their phones and chatting/laughing away but Gabriel is focused and making sure all the exercises are done with proper form.
He gets to know his clients on a personal level which gives him an extra layer of coaching their mental health. I hated taking a before picture but Gabriel was very sensitive to my vulnerability and made me feel comfortable about it. He said trust the process and I’m so glad I did because 3 months in I can see the changes.
I can truly say he is just as invested in my fitness journey as I am. -
I began training with Gabriel in Jan 2024 after having difficulty losing weight, with pain in my knees, hips & shoulder from side effects from an antibiotic in August 2023. It felt like my life and travel days as I knew them, were over. … More
Prematurely, I signed up for an active trip to Geeenland 2024, thinking I may have to forfeit.
It was on a business trip at the end of March that I realized with a smile, I had no pain or issues carrying my backpack suitcase & tote through the airport or putting it in the overhead bin. Wow!
Needless to say, I made the Greenland trip in July. Including a heavy duffle bag carried up and down planks from boats or up stairs. I was able to hike the terrain and climb.
Gabriel’s coaching style is always positive, making it simple to understand, he makes sessions challenging and ensures my form is proper to avoid further injury. He is reliable and prepared to start training with my preplanned exercises for that session.
I am grateful for Gabriel’s focus that helped me achieve my goals.
I am back! What seemed impossible to me a year ago, Gabriel made possible. -
Since I started working with Gaby she completely transformed my lifestyle. I feel stronger, healthier and my physique is almost unrecognizable. Gaby really helped me to understand how to eat better, build muscle and maintain a healthy … More lifestyle.

Working with Gabriel from Z Fit was a game-changer. Juggling two toddlers, wifey duties, and a full-time job made it challenging to find the motivation to stay active, but the tailored online workouts and nutrition plans made it feasible. … More Gabriel’s constant encouragement and support kept me motivated, even during the busiest moments. I saw great results in a short amount of time, and I couldn't have been happier with my progress. I highly recommend Z Fit to anyone, especially busy parents, ready to make a positive change in their life.

I'm going to start off with my own story. I started working with Gabriel since September of 2023, I started off at 253lbs, discouraged and ashamed of how far I let my health go. I was extremely motivated to get started on a new chance … More of changing my own life and health, I lost 10lbs easy the first month but after that's when I continued to struggle with losing 2lbs and so on. It was and still is a very slow weightless journey. I've had personal trainers before and I knew myself that after 3 months I was going to start to give up, I let Gabriel know that since the beginning. we started off with not only working out in the gym but also him having the ability to access my MyFitnessPal and monitor my food intake as long as I was documenting it. After about 6 months I stopped using the app as I've learned to acknowledge better choices on my own. my food intake is not perfect, but it is a hell of a lot better from when I first started this journey. Gabriel set goals for me to reach because I wanted to look really good for a wedding, however, little did I know that was going to really affect my mental health and self-worth as the scale wouldn't drop, no matter how much effort I had put in and i started to be discouraged and again wanting to quit. We put away the goal sheet and lessen the number of times I weighed in, we continued to focus on the workouts and food intake. It was starting to become exhausting to always think about my weight and food, as I still continue to struggle with binge eating. This year has not been easy, but one year later I am currently down to 212lbs. I thank Gabriel for not giving up on me and continuing to push me despite me complaining of the workouts. we both has seen progress in my performance and weight change. I praise him for having to deal with all my mood swings and emotions. He continues to challenge me, even when I don't want it, but I know I need it. His other clients have also been so amazing and encouraging in this journey too. Finding the right trainer is hard but I'm thankful that I found you to help me though this challenging time and continue to motivate me to be my very best.

I look forward to every workout! Thank you Gabriel for being the best! I HIGHLY recommend Z-Fit to start your health journey! -
I have been with several personal trainers before I met Gabriel & I have never met someone so professional! He tailors to your needs for workouts & is incredibly knowledgeable in nutrition which most trainers don’t know much about. … More

No matter where you find yourself on your fitness journey, Gabriel is here to support and guide you every step of the way. In just a few weeks of working with him as my remote trainer, I've already noticed a positive shift in my confidence … More and belief in my ability to reach my goals. Gabriel's at-home and/or gym workouts strike the perfect balance of challenge and achievability, offering a diverse range of exercises to keep things interesting.
Through the app, I diligently track my meals, and Gabriel consistently provides constructive feedback on my food choices, all the while showering me with positive encouragement.

Zfit proved me with the great result in such a short time.
So my lifestyle has changed dramatically since I quit my job and became a devoted yogi in 2022. Yoga has been great for my body, both physically and emotionally. However, I have … More also started losing muscle weight and a balanced workout routine that used to give me so much energy and confidence in the past.
Gabe helped me pick up on all of that =)
He is not just a trainer at the gym; he coaches your diet, monitors your daily activities, and makes sure that you are on the right track from various aspects: healthy nutrients, quality rest, challenging workouts, and the right mental state to push you through until you see the result you have always been wishing for.

10/10 experience training with Gabriel at Z Fit!! I am Currently in my second week of training with him and I have zero regrets. Before finding this personal training modality, I was searching for something that would help me get back on … More track towards a healthier lifestyle, yet did not know where to start. Gabriel has walked through this journey with me as a great coach and supporter, and always takes the time to approach me with understanding & patience (I can clearly see how he does this with each of his other clients as well). Fitness and health goals overall can be daunting- especially embarking on a journey such as personal training but I have greatly appreciated the wonderful experience I have had so far. From guiding me through intentional nutrition to creating challenging yet awesome workouts, Gabriel has been an excellent guide both as a professional, and also a relatable person who understands where his clients are coming from!!

As we begin with the new year, I would like to encourage anyone that has been thinking about working out again to go for it. Better yet, I encourage you to get a personal trainer to meet your fitness goals and lead you through the process. … More I had the opportunity to start working out with Gabe as my fitness coach. As many of you, I was hesitant to getting a coach thinking there is so much online available for free. Yes there is a lot. But getting a personalized routine for you and feedback not only helps with accountability, but let’s you get a clear vision of how you are progressing. I have enjoyed my time working with Gabe. It saves me time , I don’t have to think about planning my workout. It is has been specifically planned for my goals and as someone that has a full time job and is finishing her masters program, I can easily accommodate working out into my routine. Not to mention that working out with him has allowed me to stay flexible and improved my posture. As someone that sits on a computer for hours, staying active has never felt easier thanks to the routine set for me on the Z-fit app. Gabe is also a genuine person and is constantly communicating either through the app, video calls or text messages. I hope you give yourself the opportunity to work with Gabe.

A little over a month ago, I decided that I needed to make a change in my workout routine. I found myself stagnant in the gym towards my goal of losing some extra pounds while also keeping strength training in my routine, so I decided to … More give Gabriel’s online personal fitness coaching and nutrition a try. Prior to beginning training with Gabriel, I had some knowledge of lifting exercises and form from my own personal research on YouTube and have worked out for a little over a year. During an initial conversation with Gabriel, he was able to quickly identify this and help me build both a workout plan and nutrition guide that would help me fill in some of the missing gaps towards my goals.
After about a month of working with Gabriel, I can honestly say that Gabriel is a hard-working, dedicated, and passionate trainer who commits to his clients’ success! Gabriel has built a dynamic workout plan for me that includes a bit of strength training, cardio, and stretching, as tailored towards my specific fitness goals.

Training with Gabriel’s plan and guidance has helped me improve my gym routines, as it helped me identify areas of focus in the gym and stay efficient when working out (which is super important as a busy person). His customized plans for me also helped me keep workouts fresh and fun! Gabriel’s nutrition feedback has been a great help, as it has helped me consistently make better choices about my food intake from both a wellness standpoint as well as addressing my macros for my personal goals.

Training with Gabriel will help you with crucial feedback about form, workout plans, an overhaul of your nutrition, and having a fitness partner along the way to make it easier! -
Before I started with Gabriel I had other personal trainers yet I somehow found to not get what I was looking for. I was on and off with training I didn’t have a plan so I lack motivation and confidence in the gym. I was looking for guidance … More and knowledge of training and food. I wanted to gain muscle and drop in body fat but had no idea on how to do so. One of my friends recommended me Gabriel! I have been training with him for a couple of weeks and I definitely have noticed a change. I feel mentally and physically better. He truly takes his time to get to know you and your goals. His custom workouts have helped me so much when I’m at the gym alone. Not only does he push me to my best but he’s always reaching out to me and making sure I’m doing well!! I can definitely say I’m more stronger and gaining my confidence in the gym. Im learning to be disciplined. I’m learning to enjoy my food without it having to be boring. Gabriel is very knowledgeable and knows how to set up a plan and help you walk through it. He cares about his clients and wants the best for them.

I have trained with Gabriel since April 2023. Prior to training with Gabriel, I wasn't feeling confident in my workouts nor was I feeling any progress.

I’m a person who is constantly looking for ways to improve my health. I’ve been in the gym on my own, in boot camps, and with personal trainers. I started this 21 day nutrition program with Gabriel and it was so informative. I wanted to … More see what changes I could make in my diet that would impact my health and gain information on my nutrition. I had never worked with a nutritionist before so I was interested in seeing what this would do. Gabriel is extremely patient and understanding. I had situations where I would get overwhelmed with how busy I was and he was quick to check in and let me know that it’s okay. He was so supportive and provided feedback regularly. With 21 days of tracking my meals and making changes based on the feedback Gabriel would provide, I lost a total of 12 pounds. It would be a little difficult to track my meals daily but he would remind me that I could do it and it was really to provide feedback and not judge.
If you are on the fence for training, I would say just do it! Especially with someone as patient and kind as Gabriel, he gives you the motivation to push through and see results without feeling overwhelmed or lost, and that’s the best feeling ever. I did the bare minimum and even then, his advice and guidance really made a difference for me. I highly suggest training and starting with Gabriel, you won’t regret it! -
I love how Gabe was able to explain where I stand in my fitness journey when it comes to the inbody scan. He explained all my numbers to me and was able to ease my mind on some of the higher stats. When training began, he was able to challenge … More me while making each workout motivational rather than too intense. He has prepared me well enough to look out for choices in my everyday life and diet that are more beneficial to my health. Definitely would recommend to train with Gabe.

I have had several trainers previously. Many in which were too busy or had other priorities- compared to the attention, guidance, & accountability that I have received from Gabe. Gabriel hands down has been the best trainer I have ever … More had. We are focusing on my nutrition and fitness goals. As we are focusing on more healthy eating habits & being consistent with my running & lifting weights at the gym. It’s been approximately 30 days training with Gabe. My experience is - I feel more amazing, aware of what I am putting into my body. I’m very happy to be training with Gabe. Because of Gabe I know what to order when I’m eating outside and on the go. More protein, less processed foods. Everything in moderation. The fact that I get to ask Gabe for guidance is literally a lifesaver. I’m learning a lot. I feel better overall. You have nothing to lose, I have worked with several trainers & Gabe is the most patient, honest, knowledgeable, trustworthy, & helpful trainer out of all the trainers I have worked with. Gabe is flexible & truly cares. I’m so lucky to be learning & continuing my fitness journey with Gabe, Z fit, thank you so much!

My wife recommended me trying out ZFit with Gabriel Zapata, and I could not be happier with the results. Having a strong background in athletics, coaching, and training I came to Gabriel for trainings I could do at home, remote programs … More I could take to the gym and help with my nutrition. Overall I dropped from 245 pounds to 217 in about 4 months. I saw a big swing in body composition muscle vs fat, my clothes fit better, and I have seen a lasting impact of the lessons about nutrition. The online program was great and Gabriel really works around your schedule and what you have access or time to do. My favorite are the hour long HIIT body weight workouts! The online program included nutrition tracking and weekly feedback which was crazy helpful. He is very enthusiastic about helping you reach your goals, great trainer!

I've been using Gabriel's remote training program as I live in San Francisco and am unable to meet with him in-person, as a result.

I also find his nutrition feedback to be really valuable and something I can adopt on a day-to-day basis. I highly recommend working with Z Fit!
