Polk Strength
I help people get strong, grow muscle, improve bone density, and move well. Real coaching, real progress, no guesswork.
the approach
coaching built for you
Strength training isn't just for young athletes. It's one of the best things anyone can do for their body, especially as we age. I coach complete beginners, people returning to exercise after time away, and older adults who want to build strength, protect their bone density, and move with more confidence. Every program is built around where you are, not a generic plan.

joshua polk
I'm a strength coach with about 8 years of coaching experience, the last 4 of which specializing in barbell training using the Starting Strength method. Whether you're brand new to lifting or have stalled out training on your own, I build your program around where you actually are and adjust it as you improve. I also offer nutrition coaching, since how you eat matters as much as how you train.
how we train
in person
or online
Train with me in person in the Portland/Beaverton area, or work with me remotely through online coaching — programming, video form checks, and ongoing feedback, wherever you are. Either way, you get the same close attention to your technique and progress
