Coach Nazarko is the man! He’s got a passion for helping athletes achieve their personal goals and has an incredible talent in doing so. I had the pleasure of working with Coach Nazarko for 2 years in professional baseball and he has taught me the importance of proper technique and how intentional training can translate to success on the baseball field. I highly recommend working with Zark as I know he’ll lead anyone in the right direction and help athletes of all ages and levels reach their goals not only in athletics but in life as well.

I spent most of my year in Frisco with the RoughRiders (Texas Rangers AA affiliate) where I had Zark as a strength coach. He showed up everyday ready to work and give us everything he had even when players did not give everything they had. His positive energy and perspective on life rubbed off on those around him. He helped tailor workouts to me and work with what I wanted to do and helped me grow in areas I wanted to improve. Zark has been such an amazing person and strength coach to me always willing to help me not only with lifting but everything else. Whether he knows it or not he helped change my perspective on life. He was a pleasure to have in the clubhouse and was there for you always. I am so grateful to have had him as a strength coach.

I started working with Jon for the first time in 2021 as the Strength Coach for the Hickory Crawdads. That year we cultivated a great relationship not only on the field/weight room, but as friends as well. Because of that, Jon was someone I felt I could talk with about personal matters and everyday life. I had the pleasure of working with Jon for two more seasons after that and I felt like our relationship only got better through time. Jon and I had a great understanding of what we expected from each other in the weight room while also being comfortable enough to ask each other for a little more/less at times. There were days where my body just needed a break and Jon knew exactly how to manage my time in the weight room to ensure I was keeping myself in the best physical shape to be able to perform at a high level while also minimizing my risk of injury. Because of the relationship we had I knew that he was never going to push me do to something I felt was going to negatively affect my performance or put me in harm. Outside of the weight room Jon is someone I now consider to be a close friend and having coaches and staff you can trust is one of the most important qualities I think you can find. I trusted Jon every day because I know that he wanted to push me to be the best version of myself. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone looking to get into performance training as we as people who have experience in the field and could use more guidance. Not only will you have found a great strength coach, but you will also find someone who cares about your success and goals just as much if not more than you do.

Being a professional athlete for 7 years, I’ve been around a lot of great coaches. Without a doubt I would recommend Zark for any athlete that is trying to do what is best for them and their body. Anybody can put together a workout program, but connecting with the athlete and creating a plan around their specific needs is what Coach Zark is fantastic at. Coach Zark and I have worked together for the past 3 years during the long season that is professional baseball and he’s always helped me find exactly what my body needs in the weight room to be ready for my next outing. If I could have connected with him earlier in my career, I would have skipped a lot of searching for how to take care of my body.

Working with Jon has helped me get to where I am today. I was fortunate enough to work with him in 2021 and 2022, He pushed myself and every other guy to be our best every single day. He wants nothing but the best for the people he works with, Even though Jon isn’t my strength coach anymore, we still talk regularly. He made it a point to get to know who each of us were outside of just baseball players. Like I said I wouldn’t be where I am without Jon, he’s become a lifelong friend. If you want someone who is going to push you everyday to be better and wants nothing but the absolute best for you then Jon is the guy.
