Your coach
Patrick Rice
I took 2nd place at USS Strongman Nationals, and I've coached women from their first stone to competition day.
In the group, every woman gets coached on her own technique and her own weights, so beginners and experienced lifters train side by side.
Client results
In their words
What women say about training at Atlas Strength.
“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.”
“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.”
Questions
FAQ
Anything else? Call or text (516) 524-3420.
Not local? Can I train with you online?
Yes. With online strongman coaching, you get a program written by me in the Atlas Strength app, video form review, weekly check-ins and messaging, wherever you train. Learn about online strongman coaching →
How much does training cost?
It depends on how often you train and which option you choose. Semi-private training with a friend, the Hybrid Training Program and online coaching all cost less than 1-on-1. I'll go over exact pricing at your meeting, with no pressure and no contracts.
Will other people be in the gym during my session?
Daytime 1-on-1 sessions are private: just you and your coach. Evenings (7 to 9 pm) can have Hybrid Training and open gym members training too.
Do I need strongman experience?
No. Most women start with none. Every event is taught step by step, and weights are scaled to you.
Will strongman make me bulky?
No. Building noticeable muscle takes years of focused training and eating for it. Most women get stronger, leaner and more confident.
How big is the group?
Small. The group is capped so everyone gets real coaching on every event.
When does the group train?
The group trains on set days each week. Call or text (516) 524-3420 or fill out the form for the current schedule.
Do I have to compete?
No. Competing is optional. Some women train for the fun and the strength, others work toward a novice competition.
What equipment will I use?
Atlas stones, logs, axles, yokes, kegs, sandbags, sleds and farmers handles, plus barbells and the outdoor turf.
