It has served as a way to discover my strengths and weaknesses, to cope with stress, and to experience life firsthand. As a United States Marine I helped to get and keep Marines in fighting shape. Since my time of service I have managed health clubs for Bally Total Fitness, operated corporate fitness centers for Quad Med, LLC (Quad Graphics), coached high school football, trained for the YMCA, and co-owned Horizon Health and Fitness in Middleton, WI. Today I am a master trainer for the American Council on Exercise teaching Integrated Fitness Training workshops and am owner, trainer, and coach for Balance Fitness and Wellness, LLC. I have trained as a bodybuilder and as a mixed martial artist and has competed in football, powerlifting, volleyball, triathlon, and obstacle course races. I believes that the greatest moments of our lives are when we are challenged to the limits of our capabilities. As a personal trainer and wellness coach, my mission is to help you to clarify your vision of your best self and challenge you to take action through exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle modification.

Garrett is my Lead Trainer for my 8 Weeks To Wellness Program at Hruby Chiropractic Wellness in Greenfield. He put me through the program and mirrored my personality to keep me both focused and motivated for 2 H.I.I.T. (High Intensity Interval Trainings) twice per week for 8 weeks. Garrett has a wonderful ability keep you inspired and motivated throughout the hour workout. He has done amazing transformations with my patients as he helped them believe in themselves. I am grateful he is part of the wellness movement! Thanks Garrett! Dr. Rick Hruby

Garrett has helped change my life. After a yearly exam by my physician last October; finding out that my cholesterol was high and heading towards pre-diabetic blood sugar levels, I knew I had to get serious about getting healthy. After meeting with Garrett, I knew he was the person that was going to change my way of thinking. He is so inspiring, never judging, and knows just what to do and say to keep me motivated. After 4 months of working with him, my cholesterol dropped in to a healthy range, and I had lost 25 pounds. I feel so much healthier! He has gotten me on a great routine, and I still train with him. I actually look forward to our sessions!

*MUST READ*
I met Garrett in 2009 when Self Magazine provided me with a personal trainer while writing an article on my weight loss. After working with him for only a short time (less than a year) he helped me to lose over 50 lbs. I toned up my body so much so that for the first time in 30 years, I could actually wear a bikini & look good in it! These have been the best days of my life working with Garrett. He is a constant source of inspiration & confidence! In 2011 I was given a very shocking diagnosis of renal failure. I was taking 18 medications a day. When I felt all was lost, Garrett took me under his wing & led me to the education I never knew about. After watching a documentary & making the life changes he recommended, two months ago I got a clean bill of health! I am off all but 1 medication now! I owe this man everything! He helped me lose weight & get healthy! What more can one person do in such a caring way to change a persons' life?

I have worked with Garrett Stangel several times in the last few years. Garrett is an incredible support system and motivator for anyone looking to gain physical fitness and "life" fitness. He has a vast knowledge base to help you through your challenges, and is able to guide you to the best solution for you. He caters his services to meet your needs and finds ways to help you focus and understand that stresses happen daily. And it's not what stresses your going through...it's how you handle "life" (hence the "life" fitness). Garrett helps you find that balance in life and helps you realize that you are worth it, which is one of the first healing steps towards overall mind and body fitness and health. I highly recommend working with Garrett to reach your goals.
