Jay Zani – Wellness Coach

Becoming a personal trainer and wellness coach stemmed from two of my passions, fitness and empowerment. Fitness was a part of my life since age 2, actually climbing the walls of the house, I couldn’t wait to skate on the ice and move the puck at 4, and score a goal in soccer at 5, and so on and so forth. I wasn’t so much into competition, but loved taking my own body to the limit and beyond. When I had my first real body building experience at age 12, I was hooked on self enhancement for life!

Empowering people just came natural to me, and no matter what my peers and I were up to, I’d find a way to raise them up and get the most from the situation. It just always felt like the right way of being.

Combining these two passions would inevitably lead to becoming a personal trainer one way or another, but that road has been a bumpy one to say the least. I was stubborn to realize that a vast majority of trainers and gyms really just depended on creating some form of ‘dependency’ within their clientele. This definitely was not my style as I’ve always preferred teaching effective skills and knowledge, and getting real results as efficiently as possible.

It’s taken many years of trial and error figuring out how my coaching style can fit into a working business model, and it feels so good to finally see it become a reality. You definitely will not have a typical personal training experience with me. Yes I want to motivate. Yes I want to inspire. But what I really hope for in my clients is that I will have shaped them into someone who inspires not only themselves, but others too. Someone with all the know-how and determination needed to generate their own fire inside.

I look forward to helping you soon!
