COACHING IN SASKATOON
[ 04 ] The coach
Hi, I’m Fred.
I’ve been coaching in Saskatoon since 2012, first at the YWCA and, since 2017, in my own private gym. I compete as a masters powerlifter, I’ve taught the MS Society’s strength training program, and I coach kids learning to lift. Whatever your age or starting point, I’ll teach you to lift well and get stronger safely. When I’m not coaching, I’m usually training for my next meet.
