Training & Discipline - Palm Springs, California

R. Austin Smolka

I have been training with Zac Armstrong at Training and Discipline for the last seven months.

I have worked-out at a variety of high-end and private gyms with a variety of trainers over the past years.

Zak is as good as they get …. The real deal. He is professional, organized, and most importantly understands and adjusts workouts to the individual needs of the individual clients. Nothing is done by rote. Zac knows how to push you and stretch you to attain your goals and your maximum potential but it is always done with warmth, enthusiasm and a smile.

Zac is clearly one of the best trainers with whom I have ever worked and earns only superlatives. I plan to continue to be trained by Zac as he has helped me reach my goals and will continue to help me reach new goals.

AND just as the name implies Zac and his gym are all about Training and Discipline.

The gym is kept remarkably clean with all new state-of-the-art equipment that is well maintained.
Unlike many of the larger and better known Desert-Area gyms, working out at
“Training and Discipline’ is hassle free,
with all the equipment always in working order, the gym not overcrowded, and the overall environment one that fosters hard work and goal attainment.

All-in-all, Zac and the gym are as good as you get

I have been training with Zac at Training and Discipline for the past ten months, and the experience has been amazing. Zac made me feel welcome from the get-go, first taking the time to understand my training goals and then customizing a workout plan that keeps pushing me to achieve them, while keeping the workouts challenging yet rewarding. In addition to always being professional, punctual, and well-prepared for that session’s routine, he is very knowledgeable and motivating, which makes me look forward to each of my three weekly workout sessions with him.

Before I started training with Zac, I had worked out for years on my own and was no longer making progress, but his guidance has helped me achieve further improvements both in strength and in overall fitness. He also pays a lot of attention to form to make sure that I perform every exercise correctly to avoid injury. I will definitely continue working with him in the welcoming environment of Training and Discipline.

Working out with Zac Armstrong at Training and Discipline has been rewarding and incredibly productive. I have worked out with many personal fitness trainers in the past. Zac is on a completely different level. His level of understanding of sports physiology, ergonomics and the core mechanics of the human body is a gift that I have benefited from in a very short time span. He is personable and very professional. If you are looking to improve your physical fitness level and looking for a trainer who can help you meet your training goals using applied science and many years of experience, Zac is the man. Thanks so much, buddy!!

Zac has helped me regain my strength and helped me improve my mobility while keeping moving towards my goals and nudging me out of my comfort zone. The gym itself is great and very well maintained.

I love this place and trainer Melissa Mathews! I’ve been training with Melissa for 2 years and she’s conscientious about proper form and making sure I have a full and effective workout each time. She’s excellent at working around my injuries but still making sure she challenges the muscle groups around the area without causing damage. She has the most fun and warm personality so workouts are a blast and fly by. Highly recommend!

Zac Armstrong is superb. The best combination of strength building, physiology, kinesiology, and laughs while lifting heavy stuff.

Training and Discipline is top shelf. I have worked with Patrick Lauderdale for six months and the experience has been transformative. He is extremely knowledgeable, diligent about his work and holds himself and his clients to high standards. He does this with focus, patience and flawless communication. I would reccomend him to my most discerning friend without reservation.

Training & Discipline is the best gym in town! Brian Guzman has been my trainer for several years. He has created an excellent training environment with his new gym. In addition, he has brought in a strong team of talented trainers. If you're serious about getting or staying in shape, I highly recommend Training & Discipline.
