After 4 years of varsity football and a successful transition into competitive powerlifting, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science along with a NASM certification and am currently pursuing a Master’s from Kennesaw State University. With over 5 years of coaching experience across football players, combat sports athletes, and fellow powerlifters, I specialize in building explosive power, raw strength, and quality muscle mass. I combine proven traditional strength training methods with the latest exercise science research and personalized recovery strategies to help athletes maximize their progress and long-term results. If you’re serious about taking your performance to the next level, the fastest way forward is getting stronger. Let’s level up together.

After finishing 4 years of Varsity Football, I transitioned into competitive Powerlifting while completing my undergraduate degree in Exercise Science. I have been coaching a variety of athletes, recreational and competitive in several sports, including football, powerlifting and more. I love working with athletes who want to level up their game by becoming, bigger, stronger & faster. Especially my lovely wife who is an extremely talented powerlifter herself.
My background as both an athlete and championship coach along with my extensive work in exercise science will help me deliver both a highly engineered training program & the understanding to motivate you to new heights. By getting better in the weight room, your cuts will be sharper, your blocks, throws, & kicks will be more devastating, your stamina will be unmatched. Let's roll.
We will go through a brief warm-up before taking on 60 - 70 minutes of hard work with traditional strength exercises, selected to match the skills and demands of your sport. We will focus on learning proper technique, developing muscle mass and then strengthening that newly developed muscle. We will also include cardiovascular work as needed to ensure you not only are the most explosive athlete on the field, but the last one standing.

My high school offensive line coach, who cared enough about me, and saw enough potential to hold me accountable. Through his strict but fair style, I learned to push myself to levels I did not know I had. Thank you coach Critt.
I was inspired to work with athletes by great men like Coach Critt and my desire to give back to the next generation, combined with my experience and my expertise will provide you the extra edge you need to make progress in the weight room that really transfers onto the field or court. Together we will make you a stronger, faster, mentally tougher athlete. I look forward to working with you.

If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
