Thomas Zonkowski

Tom is an excellent trainer. He has helped me navigate a stressful and hectic period of my life by becoming healthier, simplifying how I eat, and managing high cortisol levels. After going through a c-section, being a first-time parent, and having a high-intensity job, Tom has given me the tools to build and sustain muscle mass, lose body fat, and improve my mental health. I feel and look different, stronger, and healthier, and I’m excited to rediscover the best version of myself. Thank you, Tom!

Working with Tom was game-changing for me as I went through my cancer treatment journey. I worked with Tom every week through 8 rounds of chemotherapy and went into a 9-hour surgery stronger than I’ve ever been, especially in my upper body. I’m done with active treatment, and I’ve continued working with Tom to train for four half marathons this year. Tom always considers my goals while also maintaining a working knowledge of my health conditions to tailor our workouts to my body. I am so grateful to him, and I look forward to continuing to collaborate!

After realizing my body fat was high, I started working out with Tom as a New Year’s resolution. After 2-3 months, my body fat dropped significantly, yet I didn’t lose any muscle. Tom helped with the workout and told me how I should eat, track my eating and workout habits, and improve my mental health because stress plays a significant role in my physique. He also helped when I went on a long trip or was too busy to keep up with the same workout routine; he told me what I could do to avoid losing my progress. As everyone knows, getting back to routine after a long break isn’t easy, but he’s given me great motivation to get back quickly. When I got injured, he thought of exercises to keep me in the game, yet not worsening my injury. Those are the help/tips I cannot get working out alone. I have been working out with him for almost 3 years, so that does say a lot. 🙂

Tom got me on my way to being in better overall condition and health in general. He has provided excellent guidance and advice on adding a variety of exercises to my program. I now have an extensive repertoire of activities to draw on to keep each trip to the Center fresh and interesting. He also helped keep me going when I was faced with a few minor issues (broken toe and hamstring pull). Finally, he coached me on how to improve my diet. Bravo Tom!

It has been a little over a year since I started working with Tom, my Personal Trainer, and the experience has been transformative. Having been away from Personal Training since before COVID, I was apprehensive about jumping back into it. As a senior citizen, I had concerns about my shoulder and right foot, which I shared with Tom from the outset. He immediately focused on these issues and set me on a regimen of exercises designed to strengthen those areas. Today, those concerns are just a distant memory.

Through my training with Tom, I have gained substantial strength and confidence. I feel empowered to be the best version of myself physically, and this journey has also significantly impacted my mental fitness. Tom’s approach to training is exceptional; he engages deeply with his clients and possesses an intuitive sense of the right combination of motivation and challenge. He ensures that workouts are both safe and productive.

Tom’s knowledge extends beyond physical training to nutrition. He has guided me in adjusting my diet to complement and enhance my strength training. This holistic approach has significantly contributed to my overall well-being.

I have had an outstanding experience working with Tom and look forward to continuing my training with him. With his expert guidance, my goal of aging with good health and strength feels attainable.

Working with Tom has changed my life. He came up with a program that has given me the results I have always wanted. I was able to lose 30 lbs and gain muscle. I have learned to try new workouts and push myself to levels I never thought possible.

Tom has been my trainer at the Center for the last year and a half. During that time, he introduced me to the mechanics of lifting weights to increase my functional strength in the pool and shape and sculpt various muscle groups. I appreciate his mature approach to lifting and constant concern to protect my back from injury. Outside of our weekly sessions, he has also been available to answer any weight room/workout-related questions. My husband was impressed with Tom, and the results I’ve achieved have made him a regular client, too!

Working with Tom has completely transformed my fitness journey! His expertise, positive attitude, and personalized training plans have helped me achieve goals I never thought possible. He’s incredibly supportive, tailoring workouts to my needs and motivating me to push myself further each session. I highly recommend Tom to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness.

Tom is an excellent trainer! He is extremely knowledgeable about fitness techniques and quickly helped me with a few exercises that eliminated some shoulder pain that I was experiencing before we started training together.

We have worked together for over a year, and Tom helped me meet my goals. Unexpectedly, Tom’s diet advice and coaching helped me easily lose 20 pounds. I am thoroughly pleased with the results and look forward to continuing to train with Tom. I highly recommend him.

I initially came to Tom looking for help improving my general fitness. I mentioned my chronic knee pain, and Tom said he could help. Not only did he help, but my knee pain was GONE in a few months, and I was going up and down stairs easily and going on long hikes without any pain! My transformation has been remarkable. Plus, my overall fitness has improved tremendously. But as Tom will tell you, it takes YOU putting in the work with his guidance. Thank you, Tom, and thank you, RWJ!
