An earlier reviewer has made some debatable claims about ZGHI that I will refute here. To the claim of high expense: which is cheaper- buying toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss and using them, or getting a root canal? THE Latter is an extreme last resort event, and so is ZGHI. You go there if what you were doing isn’t helping and you need help getting better. In one place you have trainers, nutritionists/ dieticians, and a doctor to prescribe a plan just for you. That’s not simple, easy, or cheap. The single location and price save you time AND money. You win all around. To the claim that it was a fat farm for kids: perhaps, but who do you think needs to change their ways so the kids don’t get fat? Their Parents, of course, need educating too! Teach them well and the kids will follow. To the claim of college kids yelling at you: that also may be true, but many of the instructors are middle aged, like myself, and adjust accordingly. In addition, if you don’t like an instructor’s style, you can change to a different class or a different time for a new experience, or talk to the instructor directly. They will all push you to do the exercises the right way, not just what is comfortable. Finally, to the claim that they say the same old stuff—that’s because much of it has been tested and IT WORKS if done properly. Eat less; eat right, drink water, and move more; all these are basics of good health. The majority of us have been missing out on at least one of them. It is the ZGHI team’s duty to tell us what will help us to help ourselves. Zacharias Ganey Health Institute will help you to improve your quality of life IF you choose to listen and work your plan! PERSISTENCE leads to success! Written by Dominque Propst (I’ve been going there for almost three years now)

I am not "overweight," per se, but if I had continued to gain a couple of pounds each year, I would have been overweight very soon! Three months ago I decided to do something about it. I joined ZGs 10-week Weight Management program and am now in Continuation. I have loved every minute of it! My goals are to lose about 10 pounds, maintain a sustainable baseline weight, increase muscle strength, and improve overall health. Dr. Zachariass weekly lectures are amazing! Shes a walking book of knowledge, yet she explains concepts in a way that you understand what you need to do to meet your goals. She is sincerely interested in helping you meet your personal goals and is accessible to answer your questions. Ive learned more from Dr. Z about health, exercise, and nutrition than Ive learned through any other source during my lifetime. ZGs trainers have different styles, and they are all excellent. You can pick a trainer (or several trainers) to work with in the course of your program. You will learn a lot from all of them. I worked with a personal trainer (1-1) several years ago and did not benefit nearly as much as I am benefitting from ZGs training program. I find it more motivating to train with other people because it makes me work harder. Your training classes become like your family! In terms of cost, I know of no other place where you can get the combination of education, training, nutritional, and other expert professional services for less than $ 100.00/month or around $ 3.00/day. If you want a truly comprehensive program to help you meet your health goals, I highly recommend that you enroll in ZG!

I normally am not a big reviewer, if I do not like something..I just dont do it again. This comes from years of being in the service industry and feeling like many online complaints are just personal attacks anyway. :--) I have been a member of ZG for four years, I read a post from somebody else that was kind of negative so I HAVE to put my opinion out there. This place is EXCELLENT!!!! Am I partial? Well, yes I am! Dr. Zacharias is partial to our interests and it shows. I have never met such an involved doctor. The trainers are well informed, kind, and enthusiastic.Does it cost money?? Well, yes. Yes, it does. Is it worth every penny? Yes. I have seen the most amazing transformations at this place. It is a lifestyle change so you have to take care of that mental part. I dont work here or have any interests other than "paying it forward." I know how many people could benefit from this and dont want them to be swayed from one comment. Off my soap box.

ZG is the real deal yall! They know what they are doing and teach you everything you need to know about nutrition and exercise. Both programs are customized to YOUR bodys needs. Its amazing. Lots of groups to meet with for additional support as well. They will even take you grocery shopping! Its surprising how much more you care about what goes into your mouth when you know how it is affecting your body and your health. Dr. Zacharias is always right on hand to help too. Plus, an added benefit...your health flex spending account covers the fees since they are a health institute and not just a gym. I HIGHLY recommend ZG!

ZG is a quality organization. The format is designed to have people change the way they live and eat. They provide all the tools and motivation. I started because I wanted to lose a few pounds and get more energy. Many others who go have lost 100 lbs or more. I keep going back because they offer many group classes and the staff Is friendly. I have been going for 2 hrs and cant see going anywhere else.
