Sam coaches lifters from 68-year-old grandmothers to amateur powerlifters, specializing in meeting you exactly where you are and moving you forward.
Ground Zero Strength is excellent for all ages to build strength and improve quality of life. Sam helped walk me through proper safe form on the major barbell lifts. I now have zero back pain, better posture, and less fatigue from daily tasks like stairs.
Excellent facility and a very good strength coach. Starting Strength qualified plus he's just very good at what he does. Great coach.
Great place to work out. Sam's knowledge of lifting form and technique is great. My sons and I love working out at GZ Strength.
My husband and I have worked with Sam for close to 2 years. We started in group training and after moving across the country we continued with online coaching. Sam is very patient and taught us proper form while we got stronger than either of us thought possible.
Sam is an amazing trainer who really knows what he's doing and knows how to teach it in a way that makes everyone feel confident. I 100% recommend his barbell clinic and joining his gym. 10/10 experience.
Sam at Ground Zero Strength has been coaching me since July 2022. From day 1 I felt completely comfortable in his gym. I am 44 years old and I wish I had met Sam sooner in my lifting life!
What a great gym! I began strength training 8 months ago and Sam was the perfect trainer to help me start my journey. I highly recommend this gym!
I spent a great afternoon learning from Sam at Ground Zero's 1-1 beginner barbell clinic. Professional, informative, personalized and just good fun. The facility is awesome — a really cool space to get in the zone to lift.
Absolutely love this gym. Everything you need if you're serious about gaining strength and none of the frills and gimmicks at chain gyms. High quality equipment and a supportive community make this gym fantastic.
