Brandon Mericle
Co-Owner · Strength & Conditioning Coach
Brandon Mericle

Brandon has been coaching athletes for over 20 years. A former collegiate athlete, he specializes in strength and conditioning, youth athletic development, and performance training. Brandon believes that great coaching starts with really listening — understanding not just what an athlete's goals are, but where they're starting from and what they need to get there.

His approach is direct, data-driven, and built on the principle that every athlete — regardless of age or level — deserves programming that meets them where they are and advances them further than they thought possible.

Courtney Mericle

Courtney brings a whole-person approach to coaching — combining strength training, nutrition guidance, life coaching, and breathwork into programs that go beyond the gym. She specializes in working with women and youth athletes, with a particular focus on helping people build a healthier relationship with their body, their performance, and themselves.

Her coaching philosophy: real change happens when you address the whole person — not just the workout. Courtney's clients don't just get stronger. They get clearer, more confident, and more in tune with what their body actually needs.
