  • Ian Munds

    Hello everybody I’m coach Ian. I am a skilled lifter with 7 years of training experience and 2 years of experience in the sport of powerlifting. I am also certified as a personal trainer and have a degree in Kinesiology. Since I was 14 I’ve buried myself into the discipline of strength training, and it’s led me down a path to help others find their way to greater strength.

    At the university of Maryland I majored in kinesiology, where I studied numerous sub-disciplines in the field of exercise science. Through my studies I became knowledgeable about all things that contribute to being a great lifter, including biomechanics, exercise physiology, and exercise psychology. With the knowledge and experience that I have, my work is solely to give you the biggest physical and mental edge that you can have in this sport.

    After college, I got my certification as a personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise, where I’ve since worked to give a great number of people a better life physically and mentally. Now I’m ready to take my skills to the sport that love, and help you become the best lifter that you can be. Let’s get to work Beasts!
