Coach Bjorn

Coach Bjorn

Strength is for everyone—and every body.

Bjorn started learning the barbell lifts to heal his back pain earned from being too tall with poor posture during years of kitchen work. What started as rehab for herniated discs and sciatica turned into a lifelong passion. Strength training changed his life, and he’s now dedicated to helping others feel empowered in their bodies and lives. 

A veteran educator, Bjorn teaches math and physics at an alternative high school for trauma-impacted youth. His background in teaching complex concepts, combined with a deep commitment to inclusion and social-emotional learning, helps him meet clients where they are at and explain proper lifting technique in ways that truly connect and make sense.

In addition to general strength training, Bjorn has years of experience in powerlifting—as an athlete, coach, and judge.

When he’s not coaching or teaching, you’ll find him lost on his motorcycle or deep in the forest under a pile of moss and lichen, slowly being absorbed by nature. Preferably with a bourbon.
