A native Southern Californian, John Welch has always had a passion for health, athletic performance and progressive challenge.  At age 12, John began picking up barbells and flipping tractor tires and realized early on the positive mental and physical benefits of moving pieces of iron or rubber. He specializes in corrective exercise and has assisted in the rehabilitation of many low back and shoulder injuries. He is our go-to coach for Olympic lifts  and has had success coaching competitive power lifters, tennis players and golfers. When “Sir Welch” is not in the gym, or on the field helping people achieve their physical goals, he can be found competing in tactical strength competitions, surfing in Cardiff or playing soccer and softball with his two daughters. He believes coaching is a privilege and loves the quote by Robert Heinclein:

“When one teaches, two learn.”

John is a specialist in sports conditioning and is certified through the International Sports Science Association and is a C.H.E.K. Practitioner (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology)
