MEET THE TEAM
I’m Zachary Boissinot, a personal trainer, coach, and owner of A Foot Above Fitness. Once an overweight teen with low self-esteem, I transformed my life through exercise and proper nutrition. Now, I thrive in the competitive fitness industry, driven by the belief that hard work knows no bounds.

With a track record spanning over nine years in the fitness industry, my journey commenced in the service sector, where I was left wanting more. After exploring various job roles, I stumbled upon my true calling in personal training and coaching. Martial arts, bodybuilding, and functional training became not only personal passions but also crucial elements defining my coaching philosophy. Recognizing the profound impact I could have, I dedicated myself to this transformative journey. Today, armed with diverse experiences and a deep-rooted passion, I am committed to guiding others on their path to wellness and self-discovery.
