COATES STRENGTH
Train with Intent.
Private Strength & Conditioning Coaching and Programming Service in Topeka Kansas since 2022
About Me
Matt Coates, CSCSI’m a strength coach with 10 years of hands-on barbell experience — competing in powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting and training athletes across sports. I hold the CSCS through the NSCA and work as a PTA, so my programming combines sport-performance methods with clinical, rehab-informed load management. I coach primarily online while meeting locally for hands-on technique checks from my home gym in Topeka or yours.What I offer• Individualized, periodized strength programs for sport performance, general strength, body-composition goals, or competition prep.• Free-weight technique coaching (barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell) via video review or in-person checks.• Rehab-informed progressions that manage load, work around injuries, and improve movement quality.• Instruction in foundational lifts used in powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and strongman.How I work• I prefer barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, bands, and bodyweight work; machines are used only when they suit your facility or goal.• Most clients follow remote, weekly or monthly programs with progress tracking and video technique feedback; I schedule in-person sessions for hands-on instruction when needed.• Every session has a clear purpose: measurable progress and planned progression.What to expect• Practical, evidence-informed programming tailored to your sport and movement limitations.• Clear metrics and regular checkpoints so progress is objective and steady.• A coaching approach that balances performance gains with long-term durability.If you’re interested in getting started, click the Programs button on my Carrd site to learn about pricing and how to begin.
