East Nashville Strength Coach

Lift-A-Palooza 2026 was another incredible week d deep-dive into all things strength.

Thank you to our special guest coaches for your time, insights, and passion for helping all of us be better lifters:

Brett Jones
Jen Thompson
Tracy Cook

Thank you to each and every attendee for bringing your great attitude and enthusiasm for growing stronger; as well as your patience when things didn’t go exactly as planned.

Here’s to your strongest year ever!

I’m Zack Henderson, a personal trainer here in East Nashville and I’ve been a certified kettlebell instructor for 15 years - specializing in strength, conditioning, and mobility training.

You don’t need a fancy gym or a ton of time to get a great workout.

And with just a few kettlebells and the right program, you can get in the best shape of your life right in your own living room.

I'm currently accepting clients for the spring & summer seasons.

My approach is all about training for longevity, real-world strength, and feeling good in your body.

I’m best suited to help 3 kinds of people:

+ Busy parents and professionals who want to maximize their training time.

+ Folks over 50 who want to move well and stay strong as they age.

+ Anyone who’s not super comfortable in the traditional gym environment.

What To Expect:

Everyone starts with a no-obligation phone call to break the ice and chat about your goals.

If it sounds like a good fit, we’ll meet for an in-home or private studio session, go over some basic moves, and come up with a sustainable game plan from there.

“Do you move well enough to fully benefit from your training?”

This was the question posed to us from Brett Jones (former head of education for StrongFirst) at the Lift-a-Palooza event.

This cuts to a core issue for so many lifters - we work hard, but how effective is all that work if there are gaps in our movement (mobility & stability)?

Think about it…

Is your hardcore strength work doing you much good if it’s built on a shaky movement foundation?

Best case - you’re not engaging the target muscles as best you could.

Worst case - you get hurt… again and again.

Heavy weights and intense workouts can mask a lot of fundamental movement issues.

That’s why we began the weekend with a full movement prep workshop from Brett.

We’re talking about everything from neck stretches to toe mobility drills.

And of course we did a deep dive on the "Brettzel" Stretch.

Not familiar?

You should be.
