Get Stronger Every Session

The foundation of training at Worm Gym is the barbell lifts: the squat, deadlift, press and bench press. Most beginners can double their strength in the first few months of serious training.

Lead coach David was once certified as a Starting Strength coach in 2010, and although he did not maintain the certification, most of our coaching methods are based on the ideas laid out in Mark Rippetoe's book, Starting Strength. In short, the workouts are designed to get you progressively stronger over time, not to just make you tired and sweaty without measurable results.

The training is serious, but the environment is friendly for everyone, even if you've never lifted before.
