My husband and I have worked with Sam for close to 2 years now. We started out in group training, and after moving across the country we continued having him program our training sessions. If you are wanting to get stronger then Ground Zero is where to go!Sam is very patient and taught us proper form while we continued to get stronger than either of us thought possible. If you are looking for a great, welcoming atmosphere to be pushed to be the best you can be, then you won’t find a better gym or coach. He will push you and help you stay on track to meeting your strength goals.

I started with Sam in the middle of June 2023. We’ve been at it 5 months now and I have no plans to stop any time soon. Everything is better. My mood, my strength, body composition. I couldn’t be more pleased.Sam is very personable, patient, and has the ability to work very well with people’s shortcomings. I’ll admit it took me too long to get proper form on some of the lifts, yet he never made me feel inadequate, and just kept up with the minor adjustments until things were correct.I am 51 and wanted someone with some real knowledge and experience to keep me from hurting myself while getting back into the gym after a ~25 year hiatus. In the 5 months I’ve been working with him I’ve only gotten stronger and have had no injuries. I’ve gained 20ish pounds of mostly muscle since I started and my lifts are improving every week. Yes, I was a skinny little guy when I started, skinny fat if you will, and my weight was under 155 lbs when I started. As of today I’m at 175 at 5’10”.It's certainly not the cheapest option, but the value is phenomenal. I was a member of the local Y for years, but never went. With Ground Zero, I rarely, if ever, miss a day and I go 3 days a week.I should have done this a long time ago.

Sam is an amazing trainer who really knows what he’s doing and knows how to teach it in a way that makes everyone feel confident in their own abilities and makes sure that you leave with the knowledge to do barbell lifts safely and effectively. I 100% recommend his barbell clinic and joining his gym to anyone interested. 10/10 experience.

Sam is such a welcoming owner. The gym is clean and organized with comp barbells, comp racks, and nice plates, and lots of great accessory gear. I was just passing through for a powerlifting session, but I’d train here every day if I lived here!

Sam at Ground Zero Strength has been coaching me since July 2022. From day 1 I felt completely comfortable in his gym, and choosing him as my coach! I am 44 years old and I wish I had met Sam sooner in my lifting life! Can't wait to see where I'm at July 2023! If your looking for a Strength coach or are nervous about starting come in to Ground Zero you will NOT be disappointed!!!

Ground Zero is the best gym in Twin hands down. Couldn’t recommend coming here and working with Sam more.

Well equipped powerlifting gym in Twin Falls! Friendly owner and a reasonable drop-in rate. They have a good selection of specialty bars and everything is very clean and well-maintained. I’ve stopped in here twice this year while road-tripping across the country and it will forever be on my list of stops in Idaho. I will recommend to anyone looking for a good workout in this part of the world!

GZS is such a welcoming gym! If you enjoy strength training you will love this inclusive environment. As a woman, it is hard to find a gym that is comfortable and not filled with “meat heads”. This gym has a little bit of everyone, and makes me feel confident coming to work out!

Awesome gym - perfect for a traveling powerlifter. I reached out to the owner on a Sunday with one hour notice, and he was able to get me set up with a day pass. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic gym! No nonsense weightlifting gym where people come to get stronger. All the equipment you need, nothing you don’t. Friendly, helpful owner who can work with beginners to the experienced. Can’t recommend enough!
