Starting Strength Beaverton

52 weeks of training + almost zero missed days + disciplined nutrition + crazy hard work + eye of the tiger = 225 squat, 165 bench, 305 deadlift.

That’s a 695 total for this woman’s lifts. We rounded it down to 600 bc that’s how the shirt’s made. 🤷‍♀️

Congrats Amy! 🎉 Can’t wait for Year Two.

Congrats, Teresa on ONE YEAR of training hard and getting strong! 🎉💪

This driven woman shows up at 5:30am every week before heading to her job as an Intel engineer. This is all between visiting her family in Puerto Rico and backpacking in foreign countries, ofc! 🥾

Teresa is consistent in AND out of the gym, following her coach’s training cues, nutritional advice, and encouragement to sleep. 😴 Her discipline has paid off in a 225 # squat (!) and strength that fuels her adventures all over the world. 🌎 Not to mention how great she feels in her daily life. 😎

Congrats Teresa! 💪 Show us how it’s done…we’ll follow! (Or at least, we’ll try.) 😉

Congrats Yusuf Qedan on your One-Year Gymversary! 🎉 Even gall bladder surgery couldn’t keep you down. Your commitment and great attitude inspire us all! 💪

Meet Teresa!
Engineer, backpacker, weightlifter 🏋️‍♀️

How did you find Starting Strength Beaverton?

I switched to Starting Strength after my coach recommended it. He had been my coach at another gym since November 2023, when I needed to get stronger legs for my upcoming backpacking trip in Chilean Patagonia. (The training worked!)

What made you decide to join?

I checked out the gym and I immediately liked it. From Day One I felt that it was perfect for me.

Had you lifted weights before joining us?  How is our program different?

I had done HIIT group classes, and HASFit online videos with light weights, but never made significant progress due to multiple injuries. This led to too many rounds of physical therapy over a 10-year period. I was convinced that I was not built for weight lifting. I like that the Starting Strength program focuses on basic full-body barbell exercises. 

What do you like about training at our gym?

Gym and group size are perfect for me. Feedback from the coaches is spot-on. 

What changes have you noticed since training with us?

I am the strongest I’ve ever been and, more importantly, I haven’t had an injury or needed PT in the 3 years. 

Congrats Teresa! We love having you in our early class and can’t wait up hear about your next backpacking trip!

5-Star Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you Rebecca!

Though active and fit, Stephanie joined with Type 2 Diabetes, due to a family history of it.

Just three months into training, she has gained 2.2 pounds of muscle and is now off Metformin, the prescription used to treat Type 2. She showed up Tuesday all aglow, having just heard her doctor say, “you don’t need it anymore.” 🎉

Stephanie achieved this by lifting with us TWICE a week. Careful coaching, intelligent programming, calm, consistent, manageable workouts.

Congrats Steph! And congrats to The Barbell…you did it again. 🏋️‍♀️
