Community Feedback

"Training here has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. This is a straightforward, no-nonsense weight-lifting gym, and working with Coach Eric has completely changed how strong I feel in everyday life. I train twice a week, and the difference is noticeable in everything I do — from daily activities to overall energy and confidence. I’ve gained real strength, and knowing that this kind of training is also great for my bone health makes it even more valuable to me. Coach Eric is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly cares about proper form and long-term results. The environment is focused and supportive, not intimidating, which makes it easy to stay consistent. If you’re looking for a place to get stronger in a meaningful, more functional way — and feel the benefits well beyond the gym — I can’t recommend this training enough."

"I came for a coaching session with Eric today because I am working my way back into weightlifting after some injuries and setbacks. He helped me to discover modifications to each lift that will allow me to ease back in! I highly recommend Starting Strength for anyone, whether you’re curious about whether weightlifting is for you, or you’ve been lifting for years. They will help you get started or coach you in form and programming. They have classes, and online coaching available."

"Definitely stronger and more confident since training at Starting Strength. My upper back used to bother me at work, but now, after getting my deadlift stronger, that no longer bothers me. Eric Strong is a very good trainer."
