- College: Jorge Tadeo Lozano University, MBA in Business
/ Jorge Tadeo Lozano University, BA in Graphic Design.
- Specialty: Physique Transformation and bilingual training
- Years Training: 4 years
- Years Working Out: Since 1998
- About Maria: Upon graduating with a degree in Graphic
Design Maria was doing interior design work for her family
business and some graphic design work for major hotels in
Colombia. It was at this time that her younger brother introduced
her to health and fitness. Joining and gym and working out
for the first time in her life made Maria realize a passion
she hadn't felt before. She became more energetic and felt
more alive than ever in her life.
Since 2000 Maria has been studying and training for health
and fitness. These have been the happiest time of her life.
As Maria says, "there is an unexplainable feeling that
I have from

making my body and my mind more healthy. I've grown to realize that
this feeling can be shared with others! Not through words, but through
showing them for themselves."
Being a personal trainer has been a perfect way for Maria to use
her many talents and desires to help others. It is her personal
goal to assist others in reaching every fitness and life goal that
they dream of accomplishing.
Not only does she help these people by guiding and training them,
but also by living the example. Take a look at her wedding prep
pictures. Those pictures alone tell how Maria knows her stuff when
it comes to physique transformation.
In 2003 Maria and Zach expanded their influence base to training
trainers for a living. Since Maria had so effectively helped individuals
she wanted to work with other trainers and teach them to effectively
train their clients. Similar to her husband, Maria took a position
as Director of Personal Training over a large corporate gym. At
one point she had 8 trainers working under her guidance in her facility.
She also worked with Zach assisting in fundamental training programs
for trainers. This was the point where Zach and Maria realized it
was time to branch out on their own and purchase a gym facility.
Now, Maria works right along side her husband in the BodyLabZ facility
in Spring, Texas. You can stop in to BodyLabZ anytime and see this
kind and caring woman apply her fine touch of elegance and passive
toughness with her clients.

Adult Certified

- Years Training: 3 Years
- Years Working Out: Since 2000
- About Lori:
Lori Epperson lives what she preaches. Four years prior
to becoming a trainer Lori was 200lbs and miserable. In her
words, miserable would be "an understatement." This
feeling paired with zero energy provoked Lori to take her
nutrition seriously to lose weight. After a bit of education
and a lot of eating habit change Lori shrunk down to the low
120's. That is a total of 75+lbs!
Even after losing all of the weight Lori had a few other ailments
and very little functional strength. Lori has a bone spur
in her neck and lost feeling in three fingers in her right
hand. The doctors told her she wouldn't regain that feeling
without surgery. Lori knew deep down she could do it on her |

own and so began her journey to rehabilitation. Soon after resolving
to fix herself she became a client of BodyLabZ/Fit Yourself In in
their rehabilitation program. Teaming with a chiropractor and doing
rehab exercises at the studio Lori's pain rapidly disappeared within
a month. Her depression disappeared and her energy, drive and desire
went through the roof. It was at this point she realized that health
and fitness was a lifestyle and not a temporary fix to a problem.
As she continued on her program she noticed that her quality of
life improved. Not only was she able to perform everyday functions
without pain, but she was able to hike, kick around the soccer ball
again, and do activities that she could only do in her youth. This
was enough for Lori to make the change and go back to get her personal
training education.
Three years later Lori has helped numerous clients to realize what
she had learned, training is a way of life. She now uses her experiences
to influence and assist others achieve their best bodies.

dream by being able to both help everyday people with their

In 1994 Zach started training right out of high school. He admits
that he wasn't the most effective trainer when he first started,
but did help a lot of people stay consistent with their workouts.
Although he held different jobs through out his university career
he always was training someone whether it was a friend, an athlete
from the university, or a client looking for weight loss or better
self esteem.
Zach may have been working out since 1991 and working as a trainer
or fitness consultant on and off since 1994, but it doesn't mean
it's been an easy road with a lifetime of fitness. In 2001 while
playing competitive volleyball Zach injured his knee and required
therapy. It took three months to recover and an additional three
to recover mentally from knowing he was supposedly never "able
to play high impact sports again." You can see from the above
before pictures that Zach's muscles started to atrophy and a belly
started to spread. For the first time in his life he realized that
he couldn't eat anything he pleased and that only through hard work
would he truly have the body he wanted. Zach took it on himself
to do something about his appearance and his diminished confidence
levels.
Since that dramatic transformation in 2001 Zach has focused on sharing
the health and fitness gift that changed his life. In that time
he has helped countless people from around the world transform their
bodies into that of what they once dreamed of. "Once people
reach new heights that they never imagined possible it starts to
generalize over to other parts of their life", Zach exclaims
excitedly. "I've had clients that started modeling, change
careers, asked for raises they weren't sure they should ask for,
earn a starting position on their college teams, and rescue themselves
from depression and illnesses related to obesity", he continues.
In 2003 Zach and Maria expanded their influence base to training
trainers for a living. Since Zach had so effectively helped individuals
he wanted to work with other trainers and teach them to effectively
train their clients. He took a position as Director of Personal
Training for a large corporate gym and increased his sphere of influence
dramatically. At one point he had 20 trainers working under his
guidance in his facility. "Can you imagine the amount of lives
my efforts were helping?", Zach says smiling ear to ear, "With
10 full time trainers that have around 12-20 clients at a time and
10 part time trainers with 5-10 my efforts were duplicated hundreds
of times over!" With this team he was able to win awards in
his company for the feats they helped their clients reach, customer
services related accomodations, and quota related bonuses. He was
also in charge of running fundamental training programs for trainers.
This was the point where Zach and Maria realized it was time to
branch out on their own and purchase a gym facility.
With his wife and his team of trainers Zach is able to continue
to train trainers in his own facility while also training his clients.
He uses his diverse background of personal training, counseling,
motivational speaking, teaching, professional public speaking, and
athletic knowledge to assist others reach their personal and physical
dreams.
When asked to describe Zach Marcy a current client of his emphatically
said, "always smiling, always encouraging and always positive."
"Oh", she adds, "and his workouts are very intense.
Come prepared to sweat and to change your body."
Some of Zach's other accomlishments:
- Award winning bodybuilder: 3rd place Middle Weight class in 2003
Mr. Georgia
- Top 100 finisher in the 2001 Body For Life Challenge
- Mixed Martial Artist in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, Mui Thai,
