Your coach
Patrick Rice
I keep Atlas Strength small and private on purpose. I coach every session myself and write every program around the person in front of me.
I coach women the same way I coach anyone: learn to move well, then get as strong as you want to be. No pink dumbbells, no watered-down programs.
Client results
In their words
Real reviews from women who train here.
“When I started, I was 70 pounds overweight (if not more) and very out of shape. Thanks to Patrick's guidance and support, I've lost over 60 pounds and can now lift over 400 pounds – something I never thought possible.”
“After having two kids in the last 4 years, I didn't think I would ever get back into heavy lifting… I have not only gotten my strength back after my kids, but it's better than ever, and my body feels good while I do it.”
“I went to Pat because I was looking to compete in strongman after not competing for ~5yrs. He was a tremendous help with getting my technique dialed in and getting competition ready.”
“I was a middle age woman that had to lose weight and needed to get in shape… I lost over 40lbs got in great physical strength and shape… I am now 61yrs old and love going to this gym 3x a week.”
“I started training in January 2025 for my fitness test for the U.S. Service Academies in June. Because of his training, I was able to max out my push-ups and build strength in every category.”
“He knows exactly how to push me without ever making me feel overwhelmed, and every session feels purposeful and personalized.”
Questions
FAQ
Anything else? Call or text (516) 524-3420.
Will lifting heavy make me bulky?
No. Building noticeable muscle takes years of focused training and eating for it. For most women, lifting means looking leaner, firmer and feeling stronger.
I've never lifted. Is this for me?
Yes. Many of my clients started from zero. Every movement is taught step by step and scaled to where you are today.
Can I train after having a baby?
Yes, once your doctor clears you. We rebuild gradually, starting with the basics, and progress as your body is ready.
I want to lose weight. Is strength training better than cardio?
Strength training builds the muscle that shapes your body and helps you keep the weight off. Paired with a nutrition plan, it's one of the most effective ways to change your body composition.
Can women compete in strongman or powerlifting?
Absolutely. I coach women for both, from first meet to experienced competitors getting back on the platform.
Can you help with nutrition too?
Yes. I offer nutrition plans built around real food and your schedule, not crash diets.
