Strength is taught. Discipline is earned. Meet the certified coaches and performance specialists who design every program, cue every rep, and refuse to let you settle for average.
Six coaches. One standard. Every member of our team holds nationally accredited certifications, has competed or coached at the collegiate or professional level, and trains the way they coach — relentlessly.
Coaching Philosophy
"We don't build workouts. We build athletes. Every block is engineered, every load is intentional, and every recovery is earned. The iron doesn't lie — and neither do we."
Marcus Reyes
Head Coach & Founder
Former Division I strength athlete turned 15-year coaching veteran. Marcus built Mygigaload on a single belief: that real strength is forged through consistency, not intensity alone. He personally programs every athlete's first 12 weeks.

What Our Coaches Stand For
Three Values. Zero Compromise.
These aren't slogans. They are the criteria every coach at Mygigaload is hired, trained, and held to — every single session.
Coaching Over Cueing
Anyone can yell "faster." Our coaches diagnose. They watch every set, adjust load in real time, and write programming that compounds — not just workouts that exhaust.
Standards Over Ego
The bar gets heavier when technique slips. Weights are deloaded when life gets heavy. A coach's job is to build the athlete in front of them — not a highlight reel of themselves.
Brotherhood Over Bodybuilding
You'll find a spotter, a training partner, and a reason to come back tomorrow. Strength is a team sport here. Every PR is celebrated. Every comeback is supported. Nobody trains alone.
