Interview with Garage Gym Reviews

by Grant Broggi

We’ve learned a lot since we set out to make Olympic Iron Barbell Plates over a year ago. I sat down with Coop from Garage Gym Reviews a few months ago to talk all things strength training. We discussed a wide variety of topics from barbell training Marines in Afghanistan to the future of gyms in America. As someone who has been in the gym/fitness world for quite some time he was a blast to talk with. Enjoy!

Topics Discussed:

• How Grant found Starting Strength
• Training Marines for strength
• Why Grant opened a Starting Strength Gym
• How The Strength Co. started in a garage
• What it’s like to own and operate a gym
• Equipment manufacturing
• Our thoughts on the future of gyms
