Hello my name is Arthur Frontczak and I’m working to open Boston’s first Starting Strength Gym. This thread is dedicated to all things Starting Strength Boston.
I personally tried various weightlifting routines and in-person coaching off and on over the years with little success. Nothing made a substantial difference in my strength or body composition. I came across the Starting Strength book about 5 years ago and began SSOC online coaching in November of 2017. As my form got better and strength improved I was completely hooked. Finally a program that actually makes you stronger! Oh to have known this in high school (I’m 6’1” and weighed 155lbs back then).
Between Rip’s amazing body of work and the high caliber of SSC coaches, I jumped at the chance to open a Starting Strength Gym in New England. There are no SSC coaches or affiliate gyms north of Connecticut which is crazy! The Starting Strength system has particular appeal to people with backgrounds in engineering and the sciences, something Boston has aplenty. I’m on a mission to create a thriving SS community here and am eager to involve as many people as possible in this life-changing work.
Please post your questions or comments below. I hope to meet everyone in our new Starting Strength Gym this Fall!
