Comprehensive, focussed & super helpful
I'd been thinking about booking an assessment with Blake for a while, and I'm so, so glad that I did. The 2 hours that Blake spent with me in our session was incredibly comprehensive: for the first half of the call, he assessed my standing posture and how my body moves through (or doesn't!) a variety of functional movement patterns and ranges of motion, and in the second half of the call he meticulously took me through all of his findings, showing me exactly how/where my body was compensating, and explaining the implications of those compensations in ways that made it easy to understand some of the musculoskeletal symptoms I've been experiencing. As someone who's generally pretty body- and form-aware, it was truly eye-opening and fascinating. And it's given me real clarity on the things I need to work on so that I can get back to training and keep getting stronger (the reason I wanted Blake's help). If you're on the fence, do it! I really enjoyed the session and would do it again in a heartbeat. Now the corrective work starts!

Blake and Steven did an outstanding job…
Blake and Steven did an outstanding job helping correct my upper-back posture and stabilize my hips. My mobility has made dramatic improvements. They were with me every step of the journey, guiding me through corrective exercises and helping me truly understand how these changes would transform my body for the better. What sets them apart is that they go beyond just exercises—they emphasize sustainable lifestyle adjustments and small, intentional changes that make a real, lasting difference.

Insightful, helpful, and knowledgeable support
I can't say enough good things about Blake and Coach Steven. From the time I onboarded, they made sure I had the support I needed to address my imbalances. Their help and continued guidance through the process of correcting posture, regaining mobility, and rebuilding strength was invaluable.

Good program to work on your muscular imbalances
There are a lot of resources available for you to make sure you can accomplish your goals. You can get your form checked, get monthly check ins, and there are educational videos and lessons too. It is on the pricey end but Blake and Steve are great coaches and have been doing this a long time so there is an expected cost premium. I would recommend this program to anyone who is dedicated and willing to put in the time needed to make a change.

I've worked with Blake & Steven for the…
I've worked with Blake & Steven for the last 3 months, and seen great progress with improvement of my posture. They truly make a specialized program for your body. And for me, I found huge value in the direct messaging consult/support, where they'll respond with comprehensive and detailed answers to any questions I might have. Whether that's sending videos for form-checks, questions about muscle imbalances or anything else.On top of that, they have a broader understanding of health, and even include ressources about stress management, supplements, sleep & sitting positions etc.Great guys to work with, and they offer quite a few options so it fits within budget and needs! :)

Blake knows what he is doing and is very clear and careful in the way he structures the assessment and feedback. Very much worth the investment.

Great experience!
Blake and Steven are both very knowledgeable coaches. I came in struggling with shoulder pain and mobility along with other imbalances. They customized the plan for my situation which helped me improve my posture and overall get stronger. Moreover, they not only helped with me training but with lifestyle and mindset. Learned very valuable things while my time with them. Highly recommend GuerrilaZen fitness!

Customized programs, amazing results
For the last two years I had worsening neck, shoulder, back, groin, and knee pain. Eventually my hands started going numb from nerve compression. MRI showed nothing. I tried literally everything: physical therapy, chiropractors, breath work, PRI, massages, acupuncture, etc. Nothing worked. Then I found Blake's instagram page.I've been working with Blake for 3 months so far. I see my body improving every week. My posture has significantly improved, my pain is gone, and my nervous system feels calm. I'm lifting weights again for the first time in 2 years.I would recommend him to anyone who has tried traditional physical therapy without results. Don't waste your time like I did. Just go straight to Blake.

Incredible reduction in chronic pain
This approach is the first thing that has really helped me after 3+ years of chronic pain. I have seen multiple chiropractors, acupuncturist, massage therapists, physical therapists, and PT's. When I started this program, I had been in nagging chronic pain for 7 weeks and nothing was helping. After my first go at my new customized exercise routine the pain went away completely and hasn't been back since. Excited to keep working with Guerilla Zen and making improvements. I have total faith in this system and approach.

A Win Win with Guerillazen Fitness coaching
I had a 19 degree c curve scoliosis which eventually was corrected after 2 years of chiropractic, but I was still stuck with a right lateral pelvic tilt. Chiropractors would use active release techniques to align my hips but my muscles just pulled it out of alignment soon after. I didn’t like depending on someone else to align me and searched on line for answers.I finally found Guerillazen Fitness and signed up for the assessment. The assessment was very thorough and found imbalances I didn’t know I had besides the pelvic tilt. I signed up for 3 months of coaching and was excited when I saw postural changes happening in just 3 weeks of doing the exercises assigned to me. My shoulders evened out. My neck was no longer craning forward. After 2 months, my hips were completely aligned. I like that my coaching went further, and I was assigned exercises for strengthening to keep my posture balanced. I have continued support and encouragement after personal coaching through Guerillazen’s University, too. It’s a successful fitness program that works for anyone needing to correct muscle imbalances no matter your age!

His assessment was very impressive
Blake has a very impressive perspective and understanding of the human body. His assessment of my body and some of my ailments was very thorough and detailed. I have never had access to someone that has been able to not only identify imbalances but recommend corrective action in a way like this. Detailed and balanced. Blake is a resource for wellness and someone I hope to use for a long time.

Life-Changing Coaching
I discovered Blake Bowman and Guerilla Zen on Instagram at a time when I was struggling with a chronic, sometimes debilitating hip issue. I knew my posture needed work, my ankles lacked flexibility, and the combination was negatively impacting my hip/glute strength and alignment.I decided to commit to a 5-month program with Blake, ready to put in the time and follow his guidance. The first noticeable change came with my posture—my shoulders and side alignment began improving within the first month. With daily dedication, results followed quickly. I grew stronger week by week, and the improvements built on each other in a way I hadn’t experienced before.Beyond the physical work, I appreciated the conversations Blake and I shared around the latest in science, biohacking, and health optimization. He’s deeply connected in the wellness community, and I trust him to lead me in the right direction when it comes to regeneratively healing my body.Thank you to Blake and his team for pushing me forward on my healing journey. I’m grateful for the progress and excited for what’s ahead.

Blake gives you the tools to change your life
After years of personal trainers, DVDs and online classes I found GuerrilaZen Fitness and Blake Bowman. My life has never been the same. At least 30 years behind a desk had ruined my posture providing constant discomfort and domino effect of poor sleep, poor eating habits and struggling to perform daily tasks.After a quick assessment of my posture and an honest survey of sleep, eating and habits, Blake was able to provide me with a plan to put me back on track. Through a comprehensive series of corrective exercises, better habits and a wealth of information regarding the body, food, sleep and general well being I can say at 52 I'm in the best shape of my life. I know it sounds cliche but it is true. It is hard to describe and put into words, but when your body is working correctly it is an incredible experience and one I wouldn't have without Blake's guidance and support.

Reassuringly Knowledgable
Between the customer testimonials present in Blake’s posts alongside his overall confidence regarding his ability to correct postural and muscular imbalances, his content caught my eye. His assistant was expedient in scheduling calls and getting me set up to speak with Blake 1 on 1 as soon as possible. As someone who deals with complicated, total body issues and chronic pain, I was hesitant at first to trust an online source; especially something off of Facebook which I’d never done before. My initial worries melted away during my call with Blake to assess my issues. His confidence and knowledge regarding what the issues were was unmatched by any PT I had seen in person thus far.. Some of the corrections I needed were some I had heard before, but Blake took the time to break down the “why” of my pain and how to fix it step by step, including pictures and videos of myself as well as diagrams and excellent analogies. Walking away from the initial call, I’m excited to begin my training and was reassured of all the ways I can continue to connect with Blake. As another reviewer stated— it became very apparent to me as well how passionate Blake is about his clients. If you’re like me and you’ve been struggling with chronic pain from gym injuries for years and you feel like you’ve been stuck and staggered; I’d recommend giving the assessment, at minimum, a try. The pricing for services rendered I felt was reasonable given the time spent and his level of expertise. If you’re a decent self starter and are coachable— I’d recommend getting in touch with Blake.

Guerrillazen FTW
Working with Blake has been everything I had hoped for & more. I understood that my movement was limited & I had some serious work to do. Each session was not about working out, it was about moving with intention. After about three or four exercises I started to feel the difference in my posture & my body. Everything is explained very simply & thoroughly, & if you ever have any questions, Blake or someone close to him is there to help you. Working with Blake or anybody who is taking your fitness journey to the next level is a leap of faith. Making this leap is not going to be easy, but it’s all the more worth it when you see the results & feel your best.

If you are thinking about working with Blake, JUST DO IT! You won't regret it
I had been on the fence for a while to ask for help and thought I could fix things on my own, but after numerous attempts and my back pain getting worse, I decided to pull the trigger and work with Blake. Now after the last 7-8 months working with Blake, I can honestly say that he is the real deal and knows what he is talking about! Within the 1st 2 months of performing the corrective exercises that was specifically tailored to me and my particular muscle imbalances, my lower back pain was GREATLY reduced! I also had limited ankle mobility and basically zero strength in my toes from several ankle sprains playing basketball when I was younger. I had no idea how much this was holding me back in other areas until I started talking with Blake and learning the importance of my feet in relation to the rest of my kinetic chain. After working with Blake, I can lift by Big Toe with ease (harder than it sounds if you have had ankle issues before) and can move like never before! Posture has improved, better flexibility and strength continues to increase! Overall, this has been an amazing experience! You can really see how Blake cares about his clients and wants to see improvements that you are happy with. He also educates you along the way besides corrective exercises, such as lifestyle habits, sleeping, diet, and nutrition. Blake equips you with the tools in life to live a long and healthy life, you just have to be willing to put in the work, but it is worth it in the end. Thanks Blake!

My mobility issues are fixed.The program is very individual and I can refer it to everyone having issues with their back or their neck.
