Meet Our Coaches
We don’t have trainers, we have coaches
Your coach, to be specific. One person, a partner in strength and fitness, to support your specific goals, pain points, and life. Your coach knows where you’re at, they know where you’re going, and how to get you there. They know where you hold stress, where you injured yourself in college and when life gets hectic, how to best support you staying healthy and strong through it. A trainer is interchangeable, a person who shows you a movement, and keeps you accountable for the time you’re in the gym together. A coach supports your journey, while teaching you what you need, rather than needing them forever. Experience the difference and a better way to train.

Hell yeah! Our athletes have all sorts of goals so and we meet you where you're at. We train for a whole bunch of reasons and for some of us that's lifting for health or to improve our lifts or for some other application. All are valid here.
If you do want to compete, we love going to comp and crushing it but that's not all we do.

All off our training starts, and ends, with mobility. All of our programs have stretching so we can improve range of motion and decrease pain. We also have mobility series geared towards supporting your daily life like "Mobility for your Workday", 4 minute videos to feel awesome at work, pain management videos for everything from necks to knees, and so much more. We want to support you feeling amazing, and that's not just when you're moving big weight. Lift good, move good, feel good.
Additionally, we have pop ups from Acupuncture and body workers, a Chiropractor that coaches strength, and powerFLOW: our weekly mobility class with Coach Paola.
You’ll notice we don’t have before and after pictures or any of that nonsense. Your results are yours and we believe that you own the earned strength, confidence, and grit that you build in this space.

“Brian and Holly have created a wonderful, welcoming, and strong community at The Resilient Strength that only amplifies the quality coaching. They meet you exactly where you’re at and help you meet any goal. I came in with only some powerlifting knowledge, and in a year competed in three powerlifting and weightlifting competitions. Can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“Resilient Strength is easily the best all around gym I’ve been to, and not just by what it has to offer equipment wise, but because of the people and level of coaching available . Coach Brian Wilbur is an AMAZING coach to say the least. Between him and coach Holly they are masters of anything weights. I came in wanting to compete in Olympic lifting and ended up doing my first competition and have nationals ahead. And the other athletes are the most welcoming group I’ve ever met.
As a former 3 year varsity football starter and all-league player, I highly recommend the Resilient Strength and their coaches to get you ready for your next competition, season, and or level. They’re the real deal.”

…I’ve been going to Resilient Strength for over three years, and it has all I could ever hope for in a gym, with an amazing community on top of that!
When I went there for the first time, I was incredibly intimidated by gyms in general after a long stretch of inactivity. The owner, Holly, worked with me to build my strength and confidence and the results have been more than I ever hoped for. I’ve also seen other athletes get started in this gym and go on to compete in strength events, with the rest of the gym cheering them on.
There’s all the equipment you could want (and they’re consistently upgrading the equipment and optimizing the use of the space), the community is supportive, inclusive, and fun, the group classes are challenging and rewarding, and the one-on-one training was legitimately life-changing. Holly and Brian have built and maintained an amazing space.
If you’re looking for a gym you’ll genuinely get excited to go to, run by people who care about their athletes’ well-being first and foremost and can work with all fitness levels, this is the space for you.”
