Introducing Coach Zac(k) 2.0: The Upgrade You Didn’t Know You Needed

At Atomic, we believe in testing, failing, and making things better—training programs, life choices, even our coaches.

So meet Coach Zac(k) 2.0. Bigger. Better. Blacker.

Yes, he’s tall like OG Coach Zack. But that’s where the similarities end. OG Zack had the vibe of a porcelain ballerina—strong, yes, but dainty. Like if you squatted too loud near him he might chip.

Zac(k) 2.0? Not so much. This version looks like he was forged in a lab dedicated to speed, vibes, and hammies that could crack walnuts. He might not outlift OG Zack’s glory days, but he’ll definitely beat him to the finish line. Twice. Backwards. With a smile.

He runs for fun. He has a run club. He’s the kind of guy who jogs during his rest intervals just to “stay warm.” It’s honestly unsettling.

And while some might mistake him for a diversity hire thanks to his caramel swirl complexion and perfect curls, rest assured—we don’t hire based on looks (though his are objectively superior). We hire based on vibes. And this dude’s got ‘em. Tall. Goofy. High energy. Talks like a human motivational poster but actually means it.

So if you’re into fast coaching, good programming, and a little more melanin on your Monday mornings, come train with Coach Zac(k) 2.0

Coach Zac: Bigger, Better, Blacker…

Just wrapping up testing and will carry those numbers forward in a new program starting next Tuesday.

A xiphos is an Ancient Greek straight shortsword. Historically used as a secondary, close-quarters weapon by hoplites and Spartan warriors after their primary spear (the dory), it is known for its distinctive double-edged, leaf-shaped blade designed for both slashing and thrusting.

As much as we love heavy squats - sometimes the juice isn’t worth the squeeze for the lower back these days.

We run 4 of these in our gym for athletes that prefer this variation of the squat.

More often than not, we allow athletes to choose their variation of the specific lift. This could be trap bar dead lift, back front, squat, or in Seth’s case - belt squat.

Coach once said “I just want to do hard s**t with my friends” and we couldn’t agree more.

Our gym is full of amazing humans, and grinding it out with them makes a visit to Atomic the BEST HOUR OF YOUR DAY.

Coach JK Foley: Fountain of Youth, Hater of Running

JK Foley - .foleyfit is actively defying science. On paper, she’s our oldest coach. In real life, she looks like she just ditched 5th period to come train. She moves like a ninja, smiles like a psychopath, and radiates enough joy to power a small town.

The gym is JK’s happy place. Coaching? Loves it. Training? Obsessed. Bad mood? Literally doesn’t happen. If you ever see JK looking irritated, congrats—you’re the problem. Apologize, fix it, and maybe she’ll let you live.

Now, JK can make any workout look smooth and effortless—unless it involves running. That’s her one red line. Want to see joy leave her body faster than pre-workout through a rookie’s digestive system? Put sprints on the board.

Still, she shows up every day like it’s her birthday, and her mission is to make you love it too. JK is all about making this the best damn hour of your day—and if it isn’t, she’ll coach-shame you into having a better attitude.

Coach JK: Perpetually youthful, dangerously cheerful, and violently allergic to feet on pavement.

Just about every improvement in my life since joining is related to Atomic ... social, physical, mental.

If you want to see significant and noticeable physical results ... go to Atomic. You will see results.

If you want more quality people in your life go to Atomic. It has a good filtering mechanism ... it’s hard. Quality people do hard things.

If you want to improve your mental health go to Atomic. Every workout is a win you earn. Don’t underestimate the positive impact that will have on your self esteem and confidence to tackle challenges outside of the gym.

Joining a new gym can be intimidating in general and Atomic’s black branding can come across as aggressive. Don’t let that deter you — try it for a month. People will welcome you to this community and help you get to where you want to go.
