  • Ever wonder why all Starting Strength Gyms look practically identical? Simple, hard, and effective. The thought process put into the Starting Strength method directly translates into the gyms themselves. Every detail is precise, down to the floor transitions. Every piece of equipment is custom-made in the USA. When you break down a Starting Strength Gym, they're a work of art.

    Knowing what I know now and having gone through the program myself I wouldn’t hesitate to join one of these gyms were it not for the fact I have my own equipment and I’ve learned the lifts pretty well on my own. Well worth whatever they are charging. The mileage I got from reading the blue book and watching the starting strength content on UA-cam was pretty astonishing on its own. Having access to a coach and being a novice would be a game changer.

      @@jd0879 Not quite that much on the top end because most coaches are working low 30-ish hours per week. There are coaches getting close to six figures with ~30 hours in the gym plus online coaching. A high quality experience requires high quality people and high quality people must have real earning potential to keep them around. Check out an upcoming interview I did with Michael Jones and another one with Jordan Burnett. These guys LOVE their jobs and are grateful they can earn a real living. Luckily we figured out the right blend of incentives between member/coach/franchisee - a tricky balance to get right.
