Byron Johnston Starting Strength Coach

I flew down from Glasgow for a coaching session with Byron and I was really happy with how it went. His attention to detail is exactly what I was looking for, and he was great at pointing out where I was going wrong and cueing me during the lifts. Having tried for a long time to get into strength training and always being discouraged when I felt I didn’t know what I was doing, I am very glad to have worked with Byron as I finally feel confident I can progress in barbell training. His expertis...

Byron is an absolutely awsome strength coach!

Byron is very patient and has a holistic approach to training – accounting for many i...

He has a sharp coaching eye, plus the ability to communicate the necessary adjustments clearly and effectively. My squat was sorted quickly, and problems identified and solved with my press, bench and deadlift too. All this, combined with some great programming suggestions and nutrition tips, made the session with Byron the most pro...
