Say hello to dakota and rachel
4th and Market was created in 2021 through the alchemy of three businesses: Grass Roots Studio, Dakota Matz Personal Training, and Matz Fitness, all owned and operated by Rachel and Dakota Matz. They each spent just under ten years in business individually, and now are bringing their gifts and expertise together under one roof for the culmination of 4th and Market
Dakota and Rachel grew up in the same hometown of Zanesville, Ohio, and have known each other since Kindergarten. They started dating when they moved away to college- Dakota has his Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology leaning towards Physical Therapy from Bethany College, and Rachel has her Bachelor’s of Science in Exercise Science and Religion from Ashland University.
Separate state lines and a three hour drive, and then they decide it’s a good time to be together…go figure! They both played college basketball and have had a passion for elite competition and performance since they were old enough to walk. 4th and Market combines all of their passions within the fitness and wellness realm, all in one place.
Being able to invest in Downtown Zanesville and plant the business hub in their hometown is something they are really proud of. They look forward to 4th and Market being a positive and growth oriented mini-community within the larger community for years to come. They believe that if you don’t see something you want, you create it.
