CARLY ASSE
Zen Fitness Owner
The heart of Zen Fitness beats within our trainers.
We bring together trainers who are passionate and understand that life is only most fully appreciated with good health. Zen Fitness trainers are incredibly knowledgeable in exercise science and nutrition. They balance their role as trainers with being excellent chefs... an important component for a balanced approach. I am so proud to introduce you to our Zen Fitness team.
Training is the biggest part of my life for the past 3 years. I spend most of my time in the gym training myself when I'm not training others. Needless to say, I love it! I am passionate about helping everyone feel and look their best, because life is so much better when you feel good.
I have been learning and training in exercise and the martial arts for 16 years, along with attaining a four-year degree in exercise science. Starting with Kung Fu at age 15, the learning process has never stopped. Group exercise, yoga, Kung Fu, kickboxing, Judo and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu have all been a constant part of the journey. I strive for constant betterment and thorough detailed instruction to help make each movement, exercise and technique to be as effective as possible. My goal is to provide each person with not just a workout, but knowledge they can use for the rest of their life.
I have been a personal trainer for over 5 years, but my passion for exercise and lifting weights stems back twenty-eight years. My love for athletics, sports and training started early as a varsity football player for 4 years in high school. I currently play basketball four to five times a week for the cardio, because I just love the game! My greatest reward is sharing my love for athletics and my training expertise with clients, watching them achieve results they never thought possible!
I have worked out and been involved with a gym environment since I was sixteen years old. I love working out, getting stronger and feeling healthy. I became passionate and aware of the importance of good health when my mother was diagnosed with diabetes when I was young. It is my utmost belief that good health is something we all deserve and something we can all achieve. I am dedicated to seeing that my clients not only reach their personal goals… but attain their fitness level best!
I’m an average guy who wants to prove that even the average person can be extraordinary.
I never believed I was anything but average until I found working out. For the first time I found something that combined all my greatest assets including dedication, commitment, and grit. I found a discipline where there was a direct connection between the effort I put in and the results I got out. Five years since I started in the gym, I’ve accomplished things that even my family thought I couldn’t. It changed my values and made me want to pursue a more balanced and wholesome life where being active and eating healthy, whole foods is a priority.
