MEET YOUR STARTING STRENGTH COACHES

Pete has been a Starting Strength Coach since 2016, supports social media for Starting Strength, and is a member of the seminar staff. In 2014 Pete began to study and implement the Starting Strength method with his own training after experimenting with other, less effective modalities. He has experience coaching clients of all populations and with various goals and skill levels, both individually and in a group setting. Pete believes effective strength training is essential whether the goal is independence, longevity, or athletic performance, and wants to help as many people as he can to achieve these goals. He currently resides in Orlando, FL.
