How do you know Coach Zerv?
I grew up with Zerv on the Lower East Side playing basketball in Big Park.

Zerv introduced me to calisthenics, and we always sharpened each other. We’ve always spoken life into each other and genuinely wanted to see each other win.
What’s one lesson, conversation, or experience with Zerv that has stayed with you?
The first time I came to LimitlessNYC , Zerv told me:
“Bro, look at me. I wasn’t always able to do muscle-ups, 50 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, none of that. I had to start somewhere. I was told one step at a time, one rep at a time.”
That conversation stayed with me because I was at the beginning stages of my health journey and didn’t know what I was capable of. It reminded me that everyone has to take that first step, and why not begin with the first rep? Much appreciated, Zerv!

How do you know Coach Zerv?
I know Coach Zerv through Tik Tok. One of his videos was on my “For you page”.
What impact, if any, has Zerv had on your life?
For the short time I’ve known Zerv he has helped me realize how important it is to be comfortable in your own skin and thrive to be able to workout with using just your body weight. Seeing him challenge himself and always push to do more and become better than yesterday is admirable and makes me want to do more myself.

From the few times Zerv and I interacted whether it’s been about workouts or relationships he has always been a good listener and keeps it real.

One memorable lesson is, I remember Zerve talking about the importance of being able to hold your weight up, and god forbid of an emergency, most people can’t even hold their own weight.
