Founded by Dr. Madge Zacharias, former Richmond Pediatrician and current Member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians, and co-managed by her sister, Mary Jane Ganey, former educator, CPA and Business/Marketing strategist. ZG specializes in weight management and helping individuals achieve optimum health through education, knowledge, physical activity and support. The ZG KEY (Knowledge, Energy and You) has helped over 13,000 program members, boost metabolism, lose weight, reduce medications, improve energy, and take ownership of their health. Our purpose is to help each and every program member achieve personal individual success by giving them the necessary tools and support and helping them removing every obstacle blocking their path along their journey to good health. ZGHI members, from over a hundred mile radius, come to ZGHI to take the ZG Key Course and develop the ability to win in areas of their life and health that they never thought possible. Most continue on as members in the ZG “Continuation” month to month program to internalize healthy habits so they become a natural part of their life. In addition, individuals with health needs ranging from pain reduction, orthopedic disorders, arthritis, and fibromyalgia travel from all over the city and surrounding area daily to enjoy and benefit from the large and beneficial warm 91 degree therapeutic pool. ZGHI also serves as a beautiful health and wellness center in the heart of Ginter Park in Richmond, Virginia. It is proud to serve the fitness, exercise, and social needs of the surrounding community.
