About Zans

Zans has coached running and swimming at a number of levels for the course of his life and loves working with all ages and skill levels. Zans is currently working as an engineer and manager but endurance sports have always been closest to his heart.

Zans ran competitively in college and swam competitively in high school where he was able to excel as both an athlete and leader. Taking a brief hiatus post college he was certified in archery instruction and became a casual rock climber. He is focused now on triathlon where he has found success as an age group athlete.

Most importantly Zans has always believed that the most important part of being physically active was never to stop moving. Through a wholistic approach to exercise. This means looking at all aspects of physical fitness and understanding that the human body is a complex system of many interlocking parts. Competition may play a role in this approach but it is only one way to leverage motivation.

Zans is a certified Lifeguard with CPR for the professional rescuer and first aid through the Red Cross.
