"When I walked into MZR Fitness a year ago, I felt defeated. I had tried everything, but I was still carrying over 100 pounds I desperately needed to lose. My doctor was recommending surgery, and I was scared and overwhelmed. I honestly didn’t know where to turn. From day one, MZR Fitness gave me hope. The coaches didn’t judge me or rush me — they built a plan I could actually follow. They taught me how to train smart, eat right, and most importantly, stay consistent. I was supported every step of the way, through the good weeks and the hard ones. One year later, I’ve lost over 100 pounds, my health has improved dramatically, and I never needed the surgery that once felt inevitable. I have more energy, more confidence, and I feel in control of my life again."
— Maggie Davis, San Luis Obispo
“Before MZR Fitness, I honestly didn’t recognize myself anymore. I was tired all the time, uncomfortable in my own body, and had completely lost confidence. I had tried diets, gyms, and programs before — nothing ever stuck. I’ve now lost over 50 pounds, but what I’ve gained is so much bigger — energy, self-belief, and pride in myself again. I wear clothes I never thought I’d wear, I move without pain, and I finally feel like me again. MZR Fitness didn’t just change my body — it changed my mindset and my future.” — Stacey Shaw, Avila Beach
“I’ve known Mike Z. Robinson from MZR Fitness for about 7 years, and he’s one of the most caring and uplifting people I’ve ever met. I’ve joined many gyms, but I always lost motivation. At MZR Fitness, I finally found accountability, expertise, and a sense of family. At 68 years old, I’m stronger, more confident, and in better shape than ever. MZR Fitness truly focuses on both the body and mind.” — Lois Crotser, San Luis Obispo
"When I first walked into MZR Fitness, I knew something had to change. I was carrying extra weight, my cholesterol and blood pressure were higher than they should’ve been, and I didn’t feel like the husband, father, or grandfather I wanted to be. The coaches at MZR met me exactly where I was and they helped me rebuild confidence, strength, and consistency. Everything was tailored to my age, my health, and my goals. Today, I’ve lost over 33 pounds, my cholesterol is down, my blood pressure is under control, and I feel better than I have in years. I have more energy, I move without pain, and I’m finally present for my family again — physically and mentally."
— Jason Turk, Pismo Beach
“Since joining MZR Fitness in 2011, my life has completely changed. I’m happier, younger, and more active than I’ve been in decades. Mike’s coaching gave me my strength, energy, and zest for life back — even my grandkids can’t keep up with me now!” — Tim Schultz, Arroyo Grande
“As a full-time mom of three, my time is limited — but MZR Fitness is my ‘me time.’ Not only am I stronger and fitter, but my mental health has improved too. The energy, the community, and the motivation here are unmatched. I’m a forever client!”

"I lost my arm at a young age, and while I tried to stay strong on the outside, the truth is that it slowly took a toll on my confidence. As I moved through my 20s and 30s, I stopped believing in myself the way I once did. The weight came on, my health declined, and I told myself this was just the way life was going to be. At 44 years old, I had a serious health scare that changed everything. For the first time, I was forced to face the reality that if I didn’t take control of my life, I might not be around for the people who mattered most. That moment became my turning point.Today, I work out five days a week, I’ve completely changed the way I eat, and I’ve lost over 80 pounds. More importantly, I’ve gained confidence, strength, and pride in who I am again. I feel better at this stage of my life than I ever did in my 30s." — Danny Diaz, Templeto
