HMST 1st Day Group

Trainers:

Zach has been a lifelong athlete who has found a passion in helping to coach others. Throughout his athletic career, Zach has been fortunate enough to have had great coaches to learn from. Particularly: Tom Blair (Judo), Peter Murray (Wrestling), Thiago Azeredo (Muay Thai), and Katie Feeley (Strongman). From these coaches he learned what it means to be a good coach and he endeavors to bring these lessons to his own coaching.

Zach found his way into Strongman in 2019 and quickly became obsessed with it. He still actively competes in strongman and other strength sports. His hope is that by opening a Strongman and strength training focused gym in Philly, that more people will have the opportunity to enjoy lifting heavy stuff as much as he does.
