Clients walking into ZERO Training Center aren’t met with large crowds or packed machines. They’re met with a private, personalized training session waiting to take place.
“I always felt that one-on-one personal training should be in its own dedicated environment, as opposed to being lumped in with general gym goers in a big-box scenario,” Owner David Maldonado said.
For over a decade, Maldonado has helped Pearland residents learn a sustainable, healthy lifestyle through private, one-on-one training.
What’s in a name
Named after a song from the 1990s rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, which Maldonado said plays a big influence on his life, ZERO Training Center was created through a passion for fitness.
Through the decade, Maldonado coined the training center as an “educational process.”
“We’re teachers, and we only succeed if at the end of the day, you embrace it and you no longer need us much like when you go to college,” he said. “Eventually you’re going to graduate and you expect to apply what you learn in the field of your study. Everything that we do is towards that end goal.”
How it works
The center offers three training options: “Executive,” “Pro” and “Core.”
The “Executive” option is a comprehensive, full-body transformation program that includes five sessions per week and one-on-one private coaching.
The “Pro” option provides a customized training program with full access to the facility, along with trainer-guided sessions twice per week.
The “Core” option is an access-based model that includes program design support and periodic check-ins.
What’s next?
Maldonado said he is grateful for the support the Pearland community has shown him through the past decade, and is looking to use this experience to potentially branch out and franchise.
While he said he is looking to potentially franchise in the Houston Metro and throughout the state, he noted younger demographics tend to appreciate the privacy the center provides.
“Young people are really prioritizing their health and fitness,” he said. “We’re getting more of those in here, and it’s very encouraging, because the earlier you incorporate this into your life, the further you carry it into your life.”
