ZP Coaching is the brainchild of the Company’s Founder, Zachiary Pease. As a retired professional hockey player, Zach attributes much of his success on and off the ice to the work he and his coaches and mentors did, well beyond just physical training. After extensive research and developing tailored training programs over the past three years, Zach recognized that how we treat our physical body is a piece of a much larger puzzle – the importance and value of physical fitness/training, when combined with nutrition/meditation/mental practices builds a complete Mind-Body-Spirit connection. The result of which is symbolized in what we at ZPC call The Wellness Pyramid™:
Our approach is simple. At ZPC we recognize that nothing in life happens in a silo and all things are connected. Our sleep drives our metabolism, mood and overall state of being. Fitness and training, for all their benefits, are augmented by what we eat and when. In saying that, every individual is unique, as are their goals and needs.
We work closely with our clients to identify patterns and behaviours that drive how we develop each tailored program to suit the needs of each client. Whether your objective is to build lean muscle, shed the pandemic pounds that seem to have formed over the past two years, or to prepare for elite level competition, ZPC designs its functional fitness, nutrition, meditation and accountability plans to ensure your success.
We do this because we love transforming peoples’ lives. And we do it so that our clients can live the most joyful and abundant life, however they define it for themselves.
Zachiary Pease an avid training/fitness/wellness enthusiast and Founder of ZP Coaching. Previously, Zach graduated from SUNY Canton (2019) with a B.Sc in Applied Psychology while playing NCAA Hockey. Following that, Zach played professional hockey for the Columbus River Dragons, Huntsville Havoc, Knoxville Ice Bears and Elmira Enforcers before Covid-19 halted the hockey season.
It was then that Zach was challenged by his Mental Skills Coach, Eric Hoffberg, to do something outside of his comfort zone. Taking this to heart, Zach developed a six-session meditation project to help those suffering emotional declines due to the pandemic. Having received valuable and positive feedback, what began as a meditation project, quickly morphed into something much more substantial: ZP Coaching.
Zach and the team at ZP Coaching are wholly committed to helping others succeed and achieve their goals through a holistic mind, body and spirit connection.
A note from Zach:
"Whether working with my elite hockey/athlete clients or the health/fit-conscious individual looking to improve their life, the goal ultimately remains the same — to mould and nurture the best version of yourself.
When I created ZPC it was, and still is, focused on deepening the mind-body-spirit connection. I hope to join you on your journey!
Having survived and thrived over the past three years, and delivering solid results and client transformations, I have further developed my approach to ensure every client’s needs/desired goals, are set reasonably and are achievable.”

"I've had the pleasure of knowing Zach for over a decade now. I witnessed his progression from a young, steadfast athlete at the Ontario Hockey Academy to Junior A and then on to the Professional ranks. He’s always had a great passion for nutrition, working out and achieving his goals. I’ve never seen a more dedicated athlete. While playing and living with Zach on 3 different teams over the past 10 years, he has helped me tremendously with my nutrition, work outs and mindset to become the best hockey player I can be and more importantly, the best person I can be. ZP Coaching is the product of life long dedication and work! Thank you for everything Zach."
