3 Pillars of Health
Our Main Focus
Pillar One
Balance Nutrition
One of the main causes of degenerative disease in America is a lack of balanced nutrition. There are five areas of nutrition that govern your health. Maintaining your ideal weight, firmness of your muscles and skin along with your activity level depends greatly on the correct combination of foods, hydration, and consumption level. Our nutritional program will be easy to follow and will completely balance your health in a very short period of time. The goal is to allow foods to fuel your body correctly. This will enhance the way you look and feel. Aging gracefully should be the ultimate goal.

testimonials
— Stuart, 28 years with Z-Form
“I’ve known and trained with Rael since July 1999. I can honestly say that knowing and training with him has changed my life for the better. I’m currently 67 years old and am in the best physical condition in my life. With Rael’s help I recently lost 60 lbs and thereby eliminated almost all of my diabetes medications, including insulin. Rael has helped with my balance, flexibility and surprisingly my complexion. Expanding lung capacity through exercise brings in more oxygen which improves your complexion. Rael very carefully watches me while I exercise to improve my form, maintain safety and maximize results. He also makes the experience enjoyable. The Z Form gym is one big happy family.”
— Sonesh, 1 year with Z-Form
"Z-Form Fitness is an amazing gym -- clean, quiet, respectful, with a great amount of equipment, both weights and cardio. The bathrooms and locker area are clean and well-maintained, and everyone who works and trains there is supportive and welcoming. It's a very un-Miami gym (and I mean that in the best way) with a diverse clientele and no attitude. I've been to many gyms in Miami, and this is hands down the best and most comfortable space I've found to work out (and it's reasonably priced). The personal training is also top-notch; I cannot recommend Steve, in particular, highly enough and I've seen great results with him."
— Deborah, 2 years with Z-Form
"Z-Form Fitness has made my recovery from my lateral meniscus surgery a great success. After evaluating my injury they setup my work-out program with Rahmel. He is very knowledgeable about the Antomy and Physiology of the human body. Rahmel is constantly adjusting my work-out to meet my individual needs and goals. I have not felt this great in about ten years and I also lost 9 pounds."
— Lindsay, 1 year with Z-Form
"I started working out at Z-Form with Rahmel after the new year to tone up before my wedding. I initially thought I would just do personal training leading up to the wedding and then go back to my regular routine. I have done several different workouts in the past, but nothing gave me the results I was looking for until I started personal training with Rahmel. I also love the intimate Z-Form community and the friendly familiar faces I see in the mornings. Now that my wedding is over, I’m excited to continue training with Rahmel and to keep getting stronger and reaching new fitness goals at Z-Form!"
— Anna, 3 years with Z-Form
“I was looking for a personal trainer and was not sure where to go. A friend told me about Rael and introduced me a few weeks later. I was pleasantly surprised of how professional Rael is and his enthusiasm for personal training. In a short period of time my body started changing I started to see definition everywhere. Rael's focus on form and technique is impeccable. He expresses a joy that makes each workout enjoyable and fun. What's most amazing is, he knows just how far to push allowing me to move beyond my limitations... he's simply the best!”
— Margieric, 4 years with Z-Form
“For years I refused to set foot in a gym, but a lower back injury forced me to do so. I was hesitant at first, but Rael made me feel quite comfortable from the beginning. 8 months after I started training, I ran my first half marathon. I haven't had back issues in almost two years and feel absolutely great. I can safely say I'm in the best shape of my life.”
— Steve & Marcia, 27 years with Z-Form
“My husband and I have been doing buddy training with Rael for more years than I can remember. Rael is an exceptionally talented trainer and creates a unique workout designed to meet our changing needs. He is very knowledgeable about health and the body and has helped to keep us fit and healthy for many years. We look forward to our workouts three times a week because Rael makes working out a pleasant and rewarding experience.”

— Derek, 8 years with Z-Form
“Rael and the whole staff are a class act. They are all very knowledgeable on all aspects of the industry, and specifically in how to address injuries, therapy and problem areas. The gym is always immaculate, members are all serious about their workouts (not a pick-up joint), the parking is very easy to access and free, and it's a nice place to train..”
— Claudio, 2 years with Z-Form
“After few years out of a gym, I took the decision to come back and mix my yoga practice with a professional trainer. After several months I am totally satisfied with Rael as my coach. This guy is almost obsessed with technique and efficiency, which have been an amazing trigger to keep me motivated to improve myself. Though, at some point in every class, I feel like I’m hell. The truth is, that at the end, I have the great sensation of a job well done.”
— Sean, 3 years with Z-Form
“I started working with Rael at the end of last year. We spent time discussing what my goals were with weight loss and some issues I had with my lower back that have prevented me from training consistently. Rael has been a game changer for me. He has changed the way I eat which has helped me control weight and in the process have lost over 10 lbs to date with no dieting. My strength training and core has improved tremendously. The back pains that use to keep me out of the gym no longer come into play. He has created workouts that have strengthened my lower back area and have kept me active. Anyone looking to stay very active and improve lifestyle through eating properly and working out. I would highly recommend Z-Form.”
— Pat, 12 years with Z-Form
“Rael is one of the most knowledgeable, observant and caring athletic trainers on the planet. During the years I have worked with Rael he has provided much more than fitness training, expertly helping me rehabilitate after various injuries and a major surgery. He truly customizes each and every session to address whatever is present within a holistic plan to improve not only my fitness but my overall health. Rael’s irrepressible positive energy, warmth and rapport with people of all ages and backgrounds makes every workout an uplifting experience. I’m so grateful for the difference Rael makes in my life.”
