Every coach at The Lifters Guild has a specialty and a real opinion about training. We don't run a one-size-fits-all model — we match you to the right person for what you're trying to do.
Coaching with our team, $80/session — Every coach here specializes in something, whether it's strength, weight loss, GLP-1 support, mobility or powerlifting. We'll match you with the coach who knows your goal best. Master Trainer sessions with Vinny are $100/session.
I started the Guild in my garage back in 2015 and have been coaching ever since. These sessions go deep on technique, programming and long-term planning, built around where you want to be a year from now.
Erika specializes in turning brand-new lifters into confident, capable gym-goers. She coaches adults who are restarting after years off, losing weight, or training while on GLP-1 medications — meeting people exactly where they are and building from there. Her sessions are patient, technical, and steady, with a focus on protecting muscle and keeping the long-term result.
David is a competitive men's physique athlete and a results-driven coach. He specializes in hypertrophy, muscle development, and the kind of long-term consistency that actually changes a body. His programs help clients train smarter, move more efficiently, and build a strong, athletic physique year-round — without burning out chasing trends.
After retiring from a career as a government contracting executive, Mary now coaches what she loves most — helping people get stronger and more confident. A competitive powerlifter and Certified Life and Health Coach, she has a special passion for supporting clients on GLP medications and keeping seniors and busy professionals strong for the demands of daily life. She also works with golfers to build the mobility, stability, and strength needed to move better and perform on the course — the focus is a stronger, more capable body for a better golf game. Her approach is supportive, practical, and personalized.
Michael brings over two decades of coaching and an integrative approach that trains the whole person, not just the reps. A certified personal trainer, licensed massage and stretch therapist, and run coach, he builds customized programs around proper biomechanics and injury prevention — meeting clients where they are, from beginners rebuilding mobility to athletes chasing speed and agility. His coaching is patient, attentive, and built for lasting results.
