ZIM FIT Foundations: Introducing CEO & Founder Zach Zimmerly

Meet Zach Zimmerly, the founder, CEO, and driving force behind ZIM FIT. Hailing from Pittsburgh, Zach's roots run deep in the fitness and supplement world. With over a decade of hands-on experience in the industry, he's witnessed firsthand the confusing mess of proprietary blends and hidden ingredients that plague most supplement labels.

Determined to set things straight, he launched ZIM FIT in 2018 to bring real transparency and performance-driven formulas straight to consumers, and he began crafting his own pre-workout in 2019.

Fixing The Problem With The Supplement World

Zach has been in the gym religiously for over a decade, and he has always been a fan of taking pre-workout. He wanted to create the perfect blend, while also creating a successful business that can grow a sense of community.

"My background is in sales, my whole sales career I’ve been selling stuff I don’t believe in. I’ve noticed at those companies, every company I was with, they couldn’t follow through on the promises I was selling. That started the business side of things. I’ve been lifting religiously since 18, 11-12 years. The one thing I’ve always really enjoyed. My favorite supplement to take is pre-workout. I’ve noticed it clumps up in the tub, there's inconsistencies, flavors inconsistent. Some have good flavors. Not a lot of good ingredients, ingredients that need to be in there."

It was a mixture of experience in the flawed business world and taking lackluster pre-workouts that birthed ZIM FIT, and its two premiere products GET FKD® High-Stim and GET PMPD® Low-Stim. Both products were made to address a specific issue in the pre-workout industry.

"I worked with my buddy and we formulated a product. A low-stim and a high-stim. Wanted to put a low-stim on the market, that’s how GET PMPD was born. GET FKD, I wanted to tackle delivering a high-caffeine pre without the downside. More of a daily driver, a really good, packed daily driver. Something you could probably take every day.”

Both of these products have driven the brand of ZIM FIT, while also creating an immaculate sense of community on the back end of the business, with the athletes and affiliates, and everyone that interacts with the brand.

Initial Goals For ZIM FIT

Zach started ZIM FIT with the goal of creating a perfect pre-workout formula, but the main goal behind the brand was to help people. To help the fitness enthusiasts that were finding the same issue in pre-workout products that Zach was.

"The overall goal has always been to help people. There have been a ton of instances where people purchase our product and come back and say no other product does what ours does for them.”

ZIM FIT and Zach have been able to help a ton of people throughout the world either with the products it provides, or the sense of community it creates. This has allowed Zach to bring on a good team behind him, which is trying to take the brand to the next level.

"Growing the team. Started with just me, five years later got a pretty good group of guys. Seeing the brand come together, my vision starting off was creating a culture. Hard-working individuals, bringing them together."

The Future Of ZIM FIT

The company is taking off, which means the goals for the company have changed over time. Zach was asked about where he sees ZIM FIT in five years, and the CEO had some inspiring mile markers he wanted to hit. 

"I see us having a building, having a warehouse. Everyone pulled in together. I don’t know where it would be based. Focused on building a team. When someone says pre-workout, ZIM FIT will be what they think of.”

Zach wants ZIM FIT to be the brand when it comes to the pre-workout industry. Everyone behind him has the belief the product and community can become that in the near future. ZIM FIT also has some exciting things in the works when it comes to potential products.

"Three flavors we are working on I won't disclose. I will say they are the best flavors you will ever try."

It is safe to say that ZIM FIT has some exciting things in the works for the future, and the brand is steadily growing. Zach's initial goal of helping others in the fitness world is something the brand has been chipping away at, and it will always be the primary focus of the ZIM FIT brand.
