Starting Strength Gym in Cle?

[appleswag96]

When will a Starting Strength gym open in Cleveland?
We need more of a starting strenght presence in Cleveland.
As of right now I think we have only Starting strength coach in all
of Ohio.

There are 2 coaches in Ohio, one in Cleveland. I don't know if Brodie is taking appointments now, but you could ask him. I doubt he plans to open a gym soon, but he may have plans we don't yet understand.

The answer to these questions is always: train up, go to a seminar, then open one yourself.

Perhaps one day in Australia...

As I'm still not yet a recovering attorney (still in the denial stage that I have a problem), I don't have any plans on changing from Esquire to Gym Owner anytime soon. I do take appointments, but not right now due to work commitments that don't let me train myself, let alone train others.


Back in 2011, I asked Rip if he knew of any reputable coaches in the Cleveland area, since there was no Starting Strength Coach presence anywhere in Ohio at that time. His response: "Maybe you should just come to a seminar yourself." I did a year later and became the first SSC in Ohio.

Point being...there's nothing wrong with taking matters into your own hands.

Brodie's a great coach. I learned quite a bit in a single afternoon and it's made a big difference in my lifts.

I'm seriously considering joining once I inevitably get banned from the CSU rec center for "slamming" deadlifts.

Try putting yoga mats under each plate. Deadens the sound of plates hitting the ground pretty well, and actually gives a good use for the mats. Just a trick I learned from lifting at a local Y.
