Guaranteed Results
"I feel like I've been wasting time with HIIT and boot camps.
Ever since I started squatting and deadlifting with a coach, my bodyfat has gone down, my butt, back, legs, stomach, and arms are more firm, and I've never been happier with how I look and feel.
I'm tracking my progress with regular DEXA scans and it's really encouraging to see how my body adapts and responds to lifting heavier weight over time. My family can't believe that I can deadlift 195lbs for reps! The more incredible part to me is that my deadlift started at 95lbs. I have more time for friends and other hobbies now that I'm not in the gym 5 days a week and I feel much more confident wearing form-fitting clothes now that my shape is where I want it to be.
It's also a huge plus to know that I have a coach there to keep me on track to make sure I'm progressing and to keep my form from breaking down. I don't need to worry about what I'm going to do in the gym that day because my coach tells me exactly what lifts to do, at what weight, and sets a target for reps and sets each day.
The best part might be that I don't have to be as strict with my diet since I need the carbs and calories to build muscle...it's so much less stressful to stay healthy and in shape! Thank you Starting Strength!"

Busting Myths About Strength Training
Lifting weights MAKES YOU BULKY!
Nope! Fat makes you bulky and muscle makes you shapely. We can help you add muscle and, if necessary, reduce fat.
It's important to know that high rep, low weight programs DO NOT MAKE YOU STRONGER. The key to getting stronger is to start with a weight that you can manage with perfect form and to make small jumps each workout.
Form follows function and strong looks good!
You have to do cardio to be healthy and lean
Leanness starts in the kitchen! Eat a high protein diet and adjust your carb and fat intake to change your body composition - no cardio required.
Lifting weights is a high intensity, anaerobic activity that improves heart and lung health. Feel free to add cardio to the program, but it's not necessary. If you do, we suggest High Intensity Interval Training (like sprints) instead of Long Slow Distance exercises (like jogging) to maximize your strength gains.
Lifting weights is dangerous!
Barbell training is one of the lowest-risk physical activities and training under the guidance of a professional coach is the best way to make sure that you are lifting with perfect form.
Squatting and deadlifting correctly has helped countless members improve nagging back pain, manage arthritis symptoms, reverse Type II Diabetes, and increase bone density. One of our M.D. coaches wrote a book about lifting weights and health called The Barbell Prescription if you're interested in learning more.
