Head Coach of 9/9 Powerlifting I help lifters 🔹Qualify for Nationals 🔹Smash Total PRs 🔹Regain Confidence
Hey my name is Coach Kyle. I’ve been coaching for half a decade and have worked with over 100 athletes. My mission is simple, help powerlifters unlock their true potential, and go way beyond what they thought was possible when they start with me. Let’s go 9/9 🤝
Joe - Client
After 3 years of injury riddled training I’ve been able to maintain my health while seeing strength gain and noticeable muscle gain, all while working a very physically taxing job. Coach Kyle has set me up to blow my old numbers out of the water when I compete at the end of the year. He is very invested in his client’s success and pays attention to all the little details. Joining 9/9 is a great decision regardless of what your goals are

Kyle has been a fantastic, articulate, and knowledgeable coach. I’ve been working with Kyle since January of 2026 and he’s helped me make great progress, particularly on deadlifts. I switched from conventional to sumo halfway through my collegiate career, and after a 3 year period of off and on training, I decided to work with kyle. Just in 6 months I’ve added at least (I’ll find out the true number in comp) 40 pounds to a conventional deadlift I didn’t train for 5 years while at the same time being the lightest bodyweight I’ve been since 2021/22. I’ve also matched or exceeded all my collegiate (and lifetime) PR’s on squat and bench. In summary, Kyle knows his shit and can get you where you want to go, take the risk. Worst case you learn a lot about training and yourself going forward and best case you win some titles 👍

When I started getting coached by 9 for 9 Coaching I was under 300 dots and I was unathletic and kinda fat, after about just under 2 years of coaching I have added over 400lbs to my total and am about to total 1400+ at nationals. This dude is the best coach out there and I will stand by that. Great nutrition coaching, weather I had to cut or gain weight, great strength training such a good coach I noticed great improvements in areas he wasn't even coaching me in I went from being a very unathletic kid to being able to dunk at 220lbs, and football mvp while I was only really prioritizing powerlifting. Doesn't matter what you need to be coached on get coached by this guy and listen to him. You will notice GREAT improvements.

I’ve known Kyle for about four years now. I recently graduated from college and was looking for a new coach. I am with his assistant coach Kaydin and have seen major improvements in my lifts. I fully trust these guys with programming my workouts and recommend this team for anyone looking to begin their powerlifting journey!

Maya Friedman - client
I just started working with Kyle but I can already tell that he truly values each and every one of his clients. He is always communicating and has helped me better my nutrition while increasing my confidence while in the gym.
Kearney Adams - Client
I had made no progress for almost six months until I hired Kyle as my coach. He fixed my 7 month back injury in 1 day through form changes and has grown my total while also cutting weight. Absolutely amazing coach and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone in the fitness community.
Ethan Giunta - Client
Kyle has helped me gain a over ten pounds of lean mass on nutrition coaching alone, his on ability to be on top of logs and make quick and personal adjustments makes the process feels as optimized as it could possible be. I couldn’t recommend someone enough.
Holly - Client
Kyle is an amazing coach! He’s super good at breaking down the mechanics of a lift. He’s very informative and good at letting you know what to fix without making you feel stupid. His nutrition is also great!! Myself and many of my friends and teammates are coached by him for nutrition and we all love it!! He’s clearly done a lot of research and puts a lot of time and effort into his work!
Steve Lalan - Client
I have been a client for Kyle over 2+ years now. Lot of improvements to my lifestyle and my strength levels since I have been training under him. I was able to achieve all my numbers through this. Highly recommend if you’re looking for Powerlifting coaching or fitness and nutrition in general.
Chance c - Client
Kyle has already added 100lbs to my bench since November. Also helped me chud out and gain a good amount of weight after being 50 pounds lighter than I should’ve been. On top of that I also went from around a 465 total to over 535.
Andrew Pepmeier - Client
Reached out to bro to save my squat 4 weeks out from my first meet, and months later and 100 ish pounds on my total I’m blowing those numbers out of the water, going 8/9 or better at meets, and on the road to my first appearance at nationals. Could not be more grateful to be part of 9/9, if you’re on the fence you should definitely look into Kyle!
