Rayce Houser
PT, DPT, CSCS
What's up everyone, my name is Rayce. I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS), and co-founder of The GIM Project. I received my Doctorate from Pacific University in 2021. I also serve as a collegiate strength and conditioning coach for Pacific University Baseball, Softball, Golf and Swim programs. Currently, I am an Orthopedic Resident with the University of Maryland. My philosophy is simple: systematic and organized variability in training to build a robust athlete/individual.
Shahin Marzband
B.S. Exercise Science
What’s good! My name is Shahin but I go by “Shah” and I am a co-founder of The GIM Project. All my life I’ve been an athlete, and that's where all my passion resides. I received my B.S. from Pacific University with an emphasis in Integrated Physiology, and now work with various athletes as a personal trainer. I have always found a sense of freedom and happiness through play, and that’s exactly my philosophy in training. I believe everyone is an athlete at some level, and my goal is to unlock/further that trait to accomplish their goals. Now let’s ball out!

SUCCESS STORIES
"Rayce's workouts played a huge role in turning me into the player I am today. He has been helpful through every step of the process, always supplying us with new and refreshing workouts. While I have put on plenty of muscle, I have also become more mobile. He has been very resourceful and is always open to answering questions. Rayce even does a great job with rehab, as he has helped my teammates and I quickly bounce back from injuries. I recommend Rayce's workouts to anyone who wants to be a better athlete."

"Working with Shah has changed my outlook on my fitness and mobility. Though we have been working together for almost a year, we have already exceeded my expectations. His easy going demeanor makes it easy to bring down my defenses and allow myself to be open to try something new. He proved to me early that he knows his stuff, making it easy for me to trust him and do things that I didn't think I could do. Within a few months, I could see progress in my mobility and physical strength, and losses in weight; my progress continues today. Instead of focusing on the end result, he has taught me to focus on sustainability. I'm now focusing on my movement, strengthening my body for long-term health and mobility that will facilitate a healthy lifestyle for many years to come. As someone who never really liked to workout and did just the minimum for many years, I now have come to appreciate exercise and even look forward to it, missing it when I'm unable to workout. I know that I would not be where I am in my health without working with Shah and for this I'm grateful and very devoted. I am happy to endorse him and his work!"
