I've worked out here for a few months and have seen significant gains across all my lifts. Coaches are well-informed and responsive. I highly recommend for lifters at all skill levels (including total beginners) seeking to improve their lifts and generally get stronger.

I am a smal-boned woman in her seventies with osteoporosis and scoliosis. With encouragement from my son Alex, I started attending this gym a month ago and already my lower back pain is diminishing! My coach, Caleb is patient and excellent with teaching me form. I am excited and hopeful to start something new to help me regain and keep strength. Thinking this might become a life-long habit. It is never too late to begin!

Coach Caleb makes Starting Strength Tulsa excellent. He makes sure everyone, regardless of gender or age, feels welcome & comfortable. He’s a great teacher, helping us increase strength, safely and with good form. In a short time, I’ve seen my strength improve and injuries diminish. I highly recommend booking an intro session with Caleb to see what the program has to offer.

I reached out to starting strength Tulsa after having dabbled with the starting strength method for a couple years. While I had read the book I did not feel confident that I was doing my deadlift and squat 100% correct. I did one session live and then two months online. The live session was so good and answered so many questions that I had on my form. It set me on a trajectory that I did not expect. Through the online coaching I was able to to really fine tune my form. I now feel safer and stronger in all of my lifts and I keep adding weight to the bar! Coach Caleb is a great guy and a great coach! I cannot recommend enough to reach out to them and get the process started.

Many years ago, I had heard of the Starting Strength book and Mark Rippetoe but had never taken any steps toward lifting weights using that method or any method. In fact, I’d never lifted weights. However, with a growing interest in longevity the last few years, I recognized the need for strength training to increase both my strength and stability. So, when I noticed the Starting Strength gym at 91st and Yale last summer, I took it as a sign that it was finally time to get started. I began in late-August 2022 and have been at it three days a week for six months. Darin has been my primary coach (along with some assistance from Andrew and Aaron). They are sticklers for detail in the mechanics of the lifts and I can’t imagine participating in a lifting program without the level of professional coaching received at Starting Strength. The attention to detail in the mechanics of the lifts allows me to not only lift safely but to also lift more weight and thus get stronger faster. My progress in the last six months has been remarkable, and it is all tracked in a logbook. The numbers don’t lie. While everyone starts on the novice linear progression, there comes a time, sooner for some and later for others, when each lifter’s programing must become more complex to continue to add weight to the bar. The individualized programing by Darin is a key component to driving my continued progress. Thanks to everyone at Starting Strength Tulsa and, if you want to get stronger, there is no better place for you to do so.
