Stndrd Coaching

Why I started Stndrd Coaching:

I spent 15 years of my life training for one single thing. And then when I retired, that clarity was all gone.

I still had a lot of drive. I still had a lot of discipline. I just didn’t know where to put it. But slowly, over time, that discipline and drive started to erode because I wasn’t seeing the same progress.

I didn’t know the direction that I wanted to go. This is one of the main reasons why I wanted to start standard coaching because I believe that most people don’t fail to hit their goals because they don’t have discipline, because they don’t have a clear plan. They don’t have a system that actually fits their mind and their lifestyle so that they can reach their full potential.

At standard, we believe in understanding both your mind and your body and your goals. We help you understand them and we help curate a specific plan tailored to you so that you cannot fail.

You can continue to make progress. And that momentum doesn’t just help you hit your fitness goals, but it helps you be better in every other area of your life.

Always evolving. Always leveling up. This isn’t Jalen’s final form.

Jalen Thompson has been part of the STNDRD family for years now. He had a clear goal: become bigger, faster, and stronger.

In his first year training with Justin, Jalen earned his second NFL contract. Now he’s heading into Year 8 in the league, still showing up with the same commitment. There is a lot of respect and appreciation for the trust he places in the process and the work he continues to do.

We are blessed to have Jalen with us at STNDRD and excited to see what this season holds. 👀

“Anything is possible to those who believe.”

Helen Maroulis came to STNDRD dealing with head and shoulder injuries. Through modifying her lifts, we’ve been able to help her continue training while allowing her body to heal.

Justin King didn’t just help address the injuries themselves. He understands athletes as a whole: mind, body, soul, and spirit. By identifying the problem and solving it, the result is amplified progress and performance.

Nobody said becoming the best athlete you can be is easy.

Kei’Trel Clark as been with us for three offseasons, drawn in by the work and results he saw from Jalen Thompson and Budda Baker.

This offseason, his focus is explosiveness, stability, and staying healthy for the season ahead.
From day one, our approach has been detail-oriented, starting with the initial assessment, understanding his body, tracking body weight, and reviewing blood work.

We’re excited to see what’s coming this season 👀🤫

This comeback is personal.

Sara Sigmundsdottir has been making progress she hasn’t felt in a long time. Since January 9th, Sara’s strength has returned in positions she once felt hesitant in, and her confidence in movement is building again. Finding a like coach Justin King, someone who understands both physiotherapy and elite athletes isn’t easy, but that combination has made a real difference.

She’s genuinely happy with how her body feels, excited about the progress, and fired up for the season ahead.

Fingers crossed. 🤞😉
