About the trainer
Coaching that meets you where you are
Sean Zimmerman
Personal trainer · Cleveland
Hi, I’m Sean Zimmerman. For years I was stuck in a cycle of yo-yo dieting — I’d start strong, fall off, and end up right back where I began, heavier and more discouraged than before. The turning point came when I stopped chasing quick fixes and started showing up for myself with consistent strength training and simple, sustainable nutrition.
Little by little I built muscle, felt stronger in my own body, and finally found a way of living I could actually stick with. Now I help others walk that same path — no extremes, just honest work, a plan that fits real life, and the belief that you can change too.

What we train for
Pick the support that fits, or mix them. Every plan starts with a free session so we can figure out the right path.
01
1-on-1 coaching
In-person sessions focused on form, intensity, and accountability. You show up. I coach every set.
02
Custom workout plans
A program built for your goals, equipment, and schedule — updated as you get stronger.
03
Nutrition guidance
Simple, sustainable eating habits that support your training. No crash diets, no guesswork.
04
Online coaching
Remote programming, form checks, and weekly check-ins if you train at home or on the road.
The Plan
Fitness. Wellness. Nutrition.
A sample week you can start from — then we tailor the work, recovery, and food to you. Train hard, recover harder, and eat like it matters.
01 Weekly fitness schedule
Seven days, one clear job each day. Swap days if life gets in the way — just don’t stack two hard lower-body days back to back.
Mon
Upper strength
Push, pull, and arms. Heavy compounds, clean reps.
Tue
Lower strength
Squats, hinges, and lunges. Build the base.
Wed
Conditioning / HIIT
Short, hard intervals. Earn the sweat, then stop.
Thu
Active recovery
Walk, mobility, easy movement. Stay loose.
Fri
Full body
Compound lifts, moderate volume. Hit it all.
Sat
Cardio + core
Steady cardio and core work. Finish strong.
Sun
Rest
Sleep, food, and a full reset. Growth happens here.
02 Wellness practices
The work in the gym only sticks if the rest of the day supports it.
Sleep
Aim for 7–9 hours a night. Keep a regular wind-down routine: same bedtime window, dim lights, and park the phone before bed.
Recovery
Use mobility work, planned rest days, and a lighter deload week every 4–8 weeks so your joints and nervous system can catch up.
Stress
Keep a simple toolkit: breathing drills, a daily walk, and short journaling when your head is loud. Stress recovery is training too.
03 Nutrition framework
A starting point, not a rigid meal plan. We’ll adjust portions to your body, training, and preferences.
Meal timing
- 3 meals + 1–2 snacks most days
- Protein at each meal to support muscle and recovery
- Pre- and post-workout: include carbs and protein around training
Plate & macros
A general starting split — not a prescription:
Fill the plate with a protein, a carb (often produce plus a starch), and a fat source. Adjust up or down with your coach.
Hydration
A simple starting target: about half your body weight in ounces of water per day. If you weigh 180 lbs, that’s roughly 90 oz. Drink more on training days and in the heat.
Disclaimer: This is general fitness, wellness, and nutrition guidance for healthy adults — not a personalized program, diet, or medical advice. Consult a doctor or other qualified professional before starting a new training or nutrition plan, especially if you have an injury, medical condition, or dietary restriction.
