The Importance of Vitamin D

July 27, 2021 by ZenRock Fitness Leave a Comment

A high percentage of adults, somewhere between 50 percent and upward of 90 percent depending on ethnicity and location, are believed to be at least somewhat deficient in vitamin D. So it makes sense that vitamin D is now one of the most widely consumed supplements. How much, if any should you take and why […]

Our immune systems are complex systems with a networks of structures and processes within our bodies that protect against disease and dangerous foreign bodies. Mushrooms […]

Second to none. ZenRock has the best personal trainers. They have completely changed every facet of my health. I couldn't begin to explain how different these trainers are in their approach - they are holistically transforming every facet of your wellness from diet to lifestyle to physical fitness. This place is unprecedented and unmatched.

Zenrock has a great atmosphere for personal training and Yoga.

I have worked out at a few different gyms in the area over the past few years. I found Zen Rock Fitness and haven't looked back. Firstly, there is an atmosphere of warmth and welcome to the place, and it's beautiful here. Petra couldn't be nicer. I have received caring and thoughtful guidance for my physical training from her as well as Heidi and Dwayne. I anticipate my sessions here with excitement, even when I know I'm going to get my ass kicked. ( I mean that in a joking way, of course). As a result of the training from these lovely people, I look and feel great. I haven't sustained any injuries from overzealous and ignorant trainers - they would never get hired at Zen Rock. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Unbelievable attention to personal training! Comfortable, friendly, amazingly effective, couldn't ask for more! Anyone in Redmond, Sammamish area would be thrilled to work with ZenRock Fitness!

I've been going to ZenRock now for just over four months and I'm very pleased. The studio is clean, organized and very inviting. All of the trainers there are very nice and easy going; Heidi is my trainer and great enjoy working out with her. This is the perfect place for anyone that needs that extra push and to have someone make them feel accountable. I had a gym membership but would always have an excuse not to go (work, friends, family, etc.). Now that I have a set schedule and someone keeping an eye on my fitness goals, I am actually staying committed to my health change and feel great. I have changed my habits and overall heath tremendously since starting with ZenRock and I'm so glad I called them and gave it a shot. I'm so happy with them that I have even gotten my husband to join me and train with me.

Have been going to Zen Rock for about a year now - have worked with one primary trainer and several others. All have been knowledgeable, encouraging and fun and I have gotten good results. The facility is very peaceful and comfortable and I enjoy the group yoga classes on Sunday.

ZenRock is a most unique experience in overall fitness. Their distinctive approach makes me look forward to going there every time! I am in better health and have never looked better because of ZenRock. ZenRock rocks!

The trainers at ZenRock are the best fitness professionals I've had occasion to work with. Michael, Petra, Dwayne, everyone is so great, inspiring, knowledgeable and super fun to work with too! I got badly out of shape and have a lot of weight to lose, and in 12 weeks I've dropped eleven pounds and a more amazing 24 inches! Petra is always careful of my knee issues and we are working towards getting stronger and less painful knees. I know there's better to come and with the help of these great people I know I will get stronger and healthier. I signed my teenagers up as well - age 15 (boy) and 17 (girl) and they are doing great. Very positive role models for them. Thanks ZenRock!

ZenRock is a beautiful facility. I have worked out with each of the trainers here and they are all knowledgeable, encouraging, and inspiring in their own ways! I love their holistic approach to health and fitness. I am well on my way to reaching my fitness goals with their support.

They are located right next to the delicious Pomegranate Restaurant in Redmond so try and resist the lure of the sweet treats on your way out ;)

The environment, the programs, the location are all fantastic. And then...you have the trainers who are BEYOND fantastic. It's the Cheers of personal training...everyone knows your name and treats you like family which translates to accountability. Thank you ZenRock for helping me to reach my goals & making fitness a part of my life forever.

ZenRock has changed my life. I was an out of shape stay home mom who was too embarrassed to get into workout clothes. I also had no core muscles thanks to two c-sections which gave me chronic back pain. Happy to say I live in workout clothes, I have a wonderfully strong core, no back pain and I feel amazing. I owe it all to my trainer Dwayne and the loving, supportive atmosphere at ZR. I highly recommend trying zenrock if you want to get in shape and feel great and actually look forward to working out.

Professional, fun and all around great group.

If you read nothing else ... Zenrock is worth the time & investment!

The facility is top notch with great equipment and peaceful surroundings. The staff is also top notch, supportive and well versed in all aspect of health & fitness. If you have the motivation and discipline and follow their guidance you will achieve your goals.

I am not a gym person and do not enjoy group exercise, private personal training has allowed me to build my core, reduce my body fat, weight and took off inches. I feel better and have learned how to maintain a healthy lifestyle on my own.

The ZenRock Team helps you out with everything you will need to reach your own goals, diet, yoga, free weights, some time on the punching bag. It's nice to deal with an outstanding and professional team for once, no egos here, just teamwork.

ZenRock really ROCKS! There is no other way to describe the trainers. The environment entices you to workout. I wouldn't workout at any other place.

The trainers are great and care so much!

ZenRock has the appropriate beginning to its name - Zen. That's what you feel when you walk through the door. The dark wood floors and furniture, the subtle colors of the walls. The quality equipment. And then you meet the trainers, Michael and Petra. They are warm and friendly. They focus on your goals and your needs. They are aware of your strengths and weaknesses (areas of injury, etc). They work you hard, but you feel great. It's a wonderful alternative to the "big gyms" it's like family.

What more could you ask for in a workout that is not only tailored just for you, but where the trainers are as committed to your personal fitness and success as much as you are!! You are missing out if you have not worked out here!

ZenRock Fitness has completely changed how I look at exercise. I have gone from a person who hated any form of exercise to craving it and looking for ways to get exercise on vacation! ZenRock has helped me achieve all of my personal goals in a little over a year and helped me set new ones for the upcoming year.

Personal attention, great environment, AWESOME trainers... Results go without saying, of course you're going to get results there! You'll also feel valued, respected and motivated. The whole team rocks.

From the moment I walked in the door it felt different. Very comforting and welcoming and Michael was friendly and informative. I knew I was going to sign up before I came back for my evaluation and Petra confirmed my decision. She was wonderful....these people REALLY care about you. I came back for a free training session with Jen and I love her. She is very educated in physical fitness and nutrition and simply the best!! Everyone there goes out of their way to remember your name and they are so kind, always. I could go on and on, but they make fitness fun and they are the best at what they do in my opinion!!!

If you want tailored and motivating help in meeting your health and fitness goals, Zen Rock is worth any amount of effort to get there. I signed up with Zen Rock in January 2013. My purpose was to get supervised strength training to combat osteoporosis. I got so much more than that. I lowered my BMI, lost weight, regained strength and flexibility I thought might be lost forever, and eliminated the back pain I thought would be with me for the rest of my life. The yoga, the nutritional advice and supportive atmosphere are a few of the reasons you should make an appointment today.

Really awesome, knowledgeable staff. They've helped me a great deal, and I love coming here every week even though I leave a little sore. :)

I am continually asked by family and friends what my secret is, how do I keep it up and I always tell them the same thing, “It’s easy, anyone can do it, you just need the right help.” For me, that help was in the form of ZenRock and my trainer, Nova, to which I am forever grateful for helping make the me I now see in the mirror match that picture of me in my mind. Thank you!

I came into ZenRock having no prior experience with yoga or any real athletic ability/experience (I sit in front of a computer all day at work and did the same throughout my childhood).

The trainers at ZenRock built me up from the ground up in a gradual, nurturing and very professional manner. Yet I was shocked with how quickly I progresses and how easy it was. In the last two months I've already lost 15 pounds and built a lot of new muscle, so I've probably lost 20 pounds of fat. As a consequence, I'm lighter on my feet. I have more energy. I'm more disciplined about what I eat; I've become more flexible and far more balanced. My lung capacity has increased and so I can now breathe in more deeply. I also get better sleep at night and no longer wake up with those knots on my back like I used to (which saves me a lot of money from no longer needing to go to the massage therapist).

If you're looking for excellence when it comes to personal training and health coaching, ZenRock is the place to go. The service will be tailored to your particular needs and skill level.

Staff are knowledgable and terrific trainers! Great atmosphere! Bravo to them!

I miss them so much! They were the best personal trainers I've ever had!

After months of encouragement from my wife, I finally tried ZenRock with the specific goal of improving my core strength and bulking up a bit, along with improving flexibility and overall fitness. I wish I would have started sooner. Wonderful, caring staff; beautiful, serene environment. ZenRock totally rocks!!!
