Coach Austin Khamiss just arrived in Boston with his dog June Bug! Looking for any leads on pet friendly rental units reasonably close to West Newton. Any suggestions of where to look and/or specific units are appreciated!
Was invited to a gym member’s birthday celebration today. Party was great! I got to see a nice home gym they put together to use. I learned the original plan was to get coaching at our gym for just one week to learn the fundamentals, then continue at home. That was four months ago and they’re still going strong at our gym. Behold the power of outstanding coaching!!! I love it when people learn the value of what we do and the difference it makes in their lives.
Our gym is growing and we’re looking for exceptional people interested in a coaching apprenticeship at Starting Strength Boston.
Are you looking to pursue what you love: helping other people get stronger? Starting Strength Gyms are not like other fitness professionals. Our Coaches are not sales people. They don't possess certifications that can be obtained after a weekend seminar or an online test. They aren't employed to make our members merely feel like they are doing something useful. Rather our Coaching team is comprised of experienced professionals that are experts at getting anyone moving in line with the Starting Strength model. Beyond coaching on the platform, our Coaches understand the Stress/Recovery/Adaptation process and can apply that knowledge to individual trainees to optimize their programming and recovery. As Rippetoe says, "we engineer human health and performance."
This is a rewarding career that makes a significant impact on our members' lives. If you're interested in talking to our Head of Recruiting, Inna Koppel, fill out the inquiry form at: Become a Starting Strength Coach
See you at the gym!
Just got a message from a guy in Maine eager for a Starting Strength Gym near him. Love hearing from people eager for the coaching we offer. After thanking him for his message, my next question was if he knew anyone up there interested in become a certified Starting Strength coach. SSC coaches are in demand nationwide. Our goal is to grow two SSC coaches locally in New England every year. We’ve only been open four months and are on our way. We’re always on the lookout for good apprentices candidates. If you or someone you know is interested please let us know (see form at the bottom of the page).
FALL MEETUP
It’s time for current gym members and Starting Strength fans in the area to get together for drinks & snacks. We’re planning on a Saturday afternoon in early November. It’s getting too cold to do outside in a park like last time. Let me know any suggestions you recommend for good indoor meetup spots.
Here’s the protein cake recipe link.Thanks Anna for sharing. She used a peanut finish instead.

A couple walked into our gym after the last Saturday morning class and introduced themselves. Trevor and Danielle were visiting Massachusetts from Lansing Michigan. They were passing through and pulled into the gas station next door. Turns out they had always wanted to see a Starting Strength Gym. They saw our sign and were shocked to come across one randomly. Trevor is an aspiring coach and big fan of Starting Strength who wants to get his SSC certification. So glad the timing worked out for us to run into each other. We invited them to come check out our 5:30am class last Monday before they had to leave for the airport which they did. Good luck to Trevor in getting his SSC and spreading the word back in Michigan!
