Big milestones require moving with purpose.
Huge congratulations to Joy for crushing a 98 lb Press PR today! 💥

Joy was a bit reluctant to try for this milestone, but the platform doesn't lie. Her coach noticed she was spending too much time and energy in a long, inefficient setup, leaving her with no gas left for the actual lift.

Today, we changed the game plan: speed up the approach, unrack with intent, stay tight from the get-go, and press. She executed the cue perfectly and absolutely nailed it.

Incredible adjustments, Joy!

Give Dad the Gift of Strength This Father's Day. 🎁💪

As we get older, we naturally lose muscle mass and bone density—but it doesn’t have to be that way. Heavy resistance training is the single most effective way for older adults to stimulate bone growth, protect joints, and maintain independence.

This Father's Day, get Dad started on a program that builds real, functional strength for life.

At Starting Strength Boston, we believe strength is the foundation for overcoming life’s toughest challenges.

Coach Max’s journey to the barbell began long before he stepped onto our coaching floor. A former collegiate hockey player from Toronto, Max credits his recovery from traumatic brain and neck injuries to a relentless commitment to strength training and proper nutrition.

Before dedicating himself to coaching, Max spent over 25 years in Fortune 500 public relations and community wellness. Today, he combines that elite communication background with his deep passion for the Starting Strength method.

Whether you're recovering from an injury or building a foundation for the second half of your life, Max is here to help you get strong, safely and effectively.

Welcome to the team, Coach Olivia! ⭐️

Olivia’s coaching philosophy is simple: build an environment where you feel supported, challenged, and excited to grow.

"I want everyone to leave the gym feeling stronger, healthier, more confident, and proud of what they accomplished. I'm here to help you realize how capable you truly are."

We are thrilled to have her energy and expertise on the platform. Let’s crush some PRs together! Drop a welcome in the comments! 👇

Meet Michael Shammas, Head Coach at Starting Strength Boston! 🏋️‍♂️

Before he was helping our trainees master their lifting form,, Michael spent his career as a private music instructor. He knows that whether you’re picking up a guitar or a barbell, success comes down to two things: precision and practice.

Michael traded the studio for the gym floor because he wanted to see a tangible, life-changing impact on people’s health.

"Every day I get to make a difference in people’s lives, helping them become stronger and healthier while having fun in the process. I love having that kind of one-on-one impact instead of being at a desk behind a computer screen."

As a coach, he treats every session with the same focused, individual attention he used to give his music students.

RACHEL VS. THE BAR: Rachel wins. 🏆

There’s nothing quite like the sound of two 45lb plates clinking onto the bar for the first time. Rachel just crushed a 140 lb rack pull for a triple! This isn't luck—it's the result of showing up, following the program, and adding weight every single week.

Give her a "Heck yeah!" in the comments! 👇
