Matt Reynolds is on a mission to help strength coaches and personal trainers turn in the keys to the gym and reclaim their life by embracing an online coaching business model.
With 25 years of experience competing at a high level in strength sports and coaching barbell-based strength and conditioning, Matt transitioned from the classroom to the world of business ownership in 2008 when he founded STRONG Gym in Springfield, MO.

“Although I’m partial to a nice dumbbell (brb, dreaming of those beautiful UConn dumbbells Coop has), I do love using a barbell. Nothing makes me feel more large and in charge than loudly loading my bar and taking up a rack at the gym as I should.
In this Barbell Logic Online Coaching review, I’ll detail what I did in my first month of training with my very own barbell coach. I definitely got stronger, but is it worth the steep price tag? Keep reading to find out.”
“Barbell Logic, Inc today announced the award of a $1.25 million contract as part of the federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The award partners the company with Air Force Explosive Ordnance (EOD) Units, whose main role is to detect, disarm, and dispose of bombs and other explosive threats. The SBIR program will leverage Barbell Logic’s innovative technological solutions to private fitness coaching to address the EOD units’ rigorous physical requirements, improving hundreds of Airmen’s physical fitness scores while also addressing the units’ overall readiness to deploy and reducing non-combat-related injuries.”
