Personal Trainer

Paul Zelenski was born in Wallingford Connecticut. From an early age, Paul was fascinated with health and fitness. It began with listening to his male and female friends complain about their bodies and watching them go to extreme lengths to achieve results. The negative self perceptions created by societal images alarmed Paul and in middle school he began studying health and wellness. He wrote his first wellness plan in the sixth grade and continued to provide individual plans for a variety of requests such as prom and spring training throughout high school. Paul’s experience in high school solidified his calling in life.

   Graduating from James Madison University, Paul earned a B.S. in Exercise Science. While attending James Madison, he continued his passion for helping individuals achieve their wellness goals. He interned for two years as a trainer in the university’s athletic department training a variety of athletes in strength and conditioning. He became knowledgeable in the specific training required for such sports as football, baseball, tennis, and swim.

   After graduation, Paul moved to San Diego to become part of the new health craze that had hit southern California. He got a job at a top fitness club and began building a solid reputation and clientele. Gaining exposure, Paul became a traveling personal trainer and nutrition consultant to a high profile celebrity. He traveled from coast-to-coast on a weekly basis consulting and supporting his client’s wellness needs.

In 2006, Paul decided to create his own brand and ZFIT was born. In just two years, ZFIT has added many clients and is well-known throughout the San Diego wellness community.

   Paul has dedicated the next chapter of his life to cultivating his knowledge of wellness and reaching mass audiences, first through the internet. Paul’s philosophy does not involve perfection or physical ideals, it is about learning to love and appreciate the body you are given, and making it a life-long priority to care and maintain it to your fullest ability.
