I Got Into This
Because Teens Deserve Better.
When I started coaching, I kept seeing the same thing: talented, motivated young people walking into weight rooms with zero real guidance. School coaches doing their best, YouTube videos filling the gap, parents hoping for the best. And kids getting hurt, burning out, or never reaching what they were truly capable of.
That bothered me. It still does.
I've spent over 30 years and 35,000+ hours learning what actually works for developing young athletes — not just physically, but mentally. Strength training done right doesn't just build muscle. It builds discipline, confidence, and resilience that carries into every part of a teen's life.
I've trained over 1,000 people, ages 9 to 95 — from kids who had never touched a weight to athletes who went on to set 16 New York State and 5 National Powerlifting Records. I've watched shy, uncertain teens walk out of training sessions standing taller. That never gets old.
I don't run a factory. I don't do cookie-cutter programs. Every athlete I work with gets a plan built specifically for them — their sport, their goals, their starting point. Whether your teen is a competitive athlete chasing a scholarship or a kid who just wants to feel stronger and more confident, they belong here.
"I coach because I love it. This isn't a business to me — it's a calling."
— Coach Michael Wohltmann
My methods are grounded in the highest-level certifications in the industry, and sharpened by mentorship under Charles Poliquin, one of the most respected strength coaches who ever lived. But what I'm most proud of isn't the records or the credentials — it's the teens I've watched grow into healthy, capable, confident adults.
