Our Personalized Gym Classes Teach People How To Get Stronger
Classes for everyone
Whether you’ve never lifted weights before or are a seasoned athlete, we can help you safely perform your exercises and make progress. We’ve taught hundreds of people to squat, press and deadlift successfully.
Group sessions, 1-on-1 attention
Every individual’s work set is performed under the watchful eye of one of our experienced and encouraging coaches. Encouraging and supporting other lifters helps to keep everyone energized throughout the session.
Get fit, not hurt
We understand that most people can be intimidated by the idea of strength training. Our coaches will make sure every lifter achieves steady progress with an individualized pace. They will also make sure you perform your lifts safely, with proper form.
Our Classes

Our Intro to Barbells Class is a 1 hour introduction that teaches you all the basics of resistance training and how to safely perform the major barbell lifts. Trainees will be coached in real time in the Squat, Press, Bench Press and Deadlift by one of our experienced coaches.

Single visit passes are also available for those who have completed Introduction to Barbells.
Meet our coaches
Grant Broggi
Grant discovered Starting Strength in an effort to find a competitive edge for his Marines while they were deployed to Afghanistan in 2014. It worked. After returning home from deployment, he quickly gained a reputation for having the strongest group of Marines in the unit and was sought out for coaching on a regular basis.
Since then, Grant has programmed and coached hundreds of Marines to measurable results using the Starting Strength methodology.
Grant obtained the Starting Strength Coach Certification in April of 2016 and then opened The Strength Co. shortly after in early 2017.
