Who this is for

Any teen who wants to get stronger, more athletic, and more confident under a bar. You don't have to play a sport. You don't have to know what a deadlift is. You just have to show up.

The athlete

Plays a sport and wants to come back next season stronger, faster, and more durable. Real strength work that translates — not generic conditioning.

The curious one

Wants to start lifting weights but doesn't know where to begin. We teach the squat, deadlift, press, and pull first — then build up to the snatch and clean — with a coach watching every rep.

The first-timer

Has never trained before. They get real instruction from session one and a place where it's okay to be new — not a class where they're expected to already know what a clean is.

What a session looks like

One hour. Three blocks. Coach-led from start to finish.

01 · 10 MIN

Warm-up & Movement

Together. Mobility, activation, jumps, and the day's movement prep. Builds the team energy and gets bodies ready for real work.

02 · 30 MIN

Skill & Main Lifts

Together. Coached technique on the squat, deadlift, press, and pulls — building up to the snatch and clean as athletes are ready. Everyone learns the same lifts, scaled to where they are. This is where teens who lift weights become athletes who can lift weights.

03 · 20 MIN

Individual Accessory

Personalized. Each athlete pulls up their own program in our app and runs the accessory work their coach prescribed for their deficits — not a generic finisher.

Why this isn't another teen fitness class

6 athletes, max

Most "youth performance" gyms run 8–12 kids per coach. We cap at six. Loaded barbells need eyes on bars — that means a real ratio, not a marketing one.

Programmed for them, not the room

Big-box youth classes run the same workout for everyone. We write each athlete's accessory program based on what we see them do on the floor — like college S&C, not a bootcamp.

Real coaches, not floor staff

Adam (USAW Level 2, coaching since 2007), Monica (USAW Level 1, active competitor) and Dillon (mobility specialist, certified personal trainer) are the same coaches who train adult lifters here every day. Your teen gets the actual coaching staff, not whoever is on shift.

Your coaches

Three coaches split the week across two class times. Whichever coach is on the floor is fully running the session — not handing it off.

Adam

Adam

Owner & Head Coach

Tuesdays · 4:30pm

Coaching since 2007. USAW Level 2 certified, competing in Olympic weightlifting since 2011. Has coached teenagers, regular adults, and competitive athletes — and is comfortable coaching all of them in the same room.

Monica

Monica

Team Coach & Personal Trainer

Thursdays · 4:30pm

USAW Level 1 and an active competitor — placed 2nd at the 2024 Texas-Oklahoma WSO Championship. Started from zero experience herself in 2017, so she coaches with that in mind: a space where new athletes feel supported, not judged.

Dillon

Dillon

Strength Coach

Tue & Thu · 1pm

Strength training paired with mobility work. Dillon already coaches teen athletes building strength for sports, and brings a 200-hour yoga certification and mobility specialization — so kids get stronger without losing how well they move.

First class starts Tuesday, June 2

Two class times to pick from. Monthly enrollment — once a class is full at 6, the next opening is when a spot opens up.

Parents ask

Is barbell training safe for a 12-year-old?

Yes — when it's coached and scaled. The NSCA's position on youth resistance training (the standard reference for the field) is clear: there is no minimum age, and structured strength training is no more dangerous than other youth sports when properly supervised. The key word is supervised. That's why we cap at six athletes per coach and why the main lifts are coached together every session.

My athlete has never lifted before. Is this the right fit?

Yes. Most of our athletes start with no prior experience. We teach the lifts from scratch — starting with the squat, deadlift, and press, then progressing to the snatch and clean — using PVC pipes and empty bars before any real load. Confidence comes from doing the lifts correctly, not from doing them heavy.

My athlete plays a sport. Will this conflict?

2x/week is designed to fit around a school sport schedule. Most of our athletes have practice 3–4 nights a week and use this as their off-night strength work. We can adjust their program around in-season vs. off-season demands.

Why ages 12–18 in one program?

Because the program is individualized. The 12-year-old isn't running the same accessories as the 17-year-old. The group skill block builds team energy; the individual accessory block makes sure every athlete is training what they need.

Can I watch the sessions?

Of course you want to see what your athlete is doing. You're welcome to come watch the first session so you can see exactly how it runs — and we'll meet you and walk you through the program before they start. After that, plan on dropping off and picking up. We're a small gym and honestly don't have the space for parents to wait inside during class.

Tell us about your athlete

Drop us your info and we'll reach out to chat. From there we'll either set up a quick call or invite you in to meet the coaches in person — whatever works for you. No pressure, no commitment.
