ISSA Certified Powerlifting Instructor
Hey y’all! Gordon here and I am a strength coach based out of Austin, TX and I specialize in building a strong body built for longevity and I help my clients hit their health and fitness goals through both in-person and online training. I believe with a strong base, both physically and mentally, people are able to enjoy life to the fullest and my goal is to help my clients do just that! I help athletes at every stage of their strength journey—from first-time lifters building confidence under the bar to national-level competitors preparing for the platform. I’ve coached at powerlifting competitions, ranging from rookie meets all the way to national-level competitions.
Fitness has played a big part in my life, and I had no idea how much good it did me until recently. Growing up, I played all the youth league sports and kicked butt in karate, even earning my 3rd degree black belt after 16 years of intense training. I loved to stay very active and knew I wanted to be a good athlete but it wasn’t until high school that I realized what kind of time commitment and discipline it took to be that.
My fitness and gym passion took off junior year in high school. I was lucky enough to have my best friend living across from me, and he just happened to have a gym in his garage so we took advantage of it and fell in love with lifting weights. Fast forward a few years, I injured myself on the rugby field one too many times and decided that I wanted to take care of myself, prioritize recovery as well as training and take my health to another level. I chose to focus on what my body could do, how it could move, and prioritize longevity with my activities. Once I tuned my focus to that, my confidence, strength, and mental health have skyrocketed and I want to share the passion, knowledge, and discipline I have gained with as many people as possible!
