I do not, but I'd just like to say I'm from University City (I'm assuming you're from Ladue).

I'd also like to say there is an exceptional olympic weightlifting coach around Florissant that you or anybody else may want to contact if you're interested (I'm aware that isn't strongman). You can PM me for details.

There are two well established training groups in St. Louis.

Willie Wessels, the President of North American Strongman lives in St. Louis. You can contact him through his Wife Dione dione@americanstrongman.com and ask where they train. I believe they own a facility / gym.

Jeff Bach also has a training group, you can reach him at jbatstl@yahoo.com for details.

There are a few powerlifting groups that crossover into Strongman sometimes...
You might try Powerbody Gym, or Eagle gym.

E-mail Rick Fowler at mens99meet@aol.com, he can definitely send you to the right people.

You're ladue class of 88? I probably know you. Also the closest to you would probably be powerhouse, or there's one up in overland or out in florrisent. jeff lewis (500lb SHW beast) lives in stl and trains in granite city i believe however. i may try out a gym out there when i come back for thanksgiving.

eagles has atlas stones and tires, logs etc i don't remember waht else only was there once. i go to powerbody usa, go to either of them and talk to some people and maybe you can train at this warehouse off of page where people train strongman. i heard its real strict there when training, they have no talking rules and **** lol.

i never understood that no talking while training crap, i mean sure it can slow the workout down. but that isnt even always a bad thing.

I don't train at a powerlifting gym, but it's fairly powerlifting friendly. Nice, always seemed super fun, but never had a chance to try any of it

currently im stayen at the marriot and i have a shuttle taken me to the free gym (24 hr) i would go down there, but i dont drive, and if i did, i dont have a car..


if anyone in st louis wanted to train with me, they could just come to my gym, theres a 7 day free membership thing going on there i believe.

the only problem would be when to train, cuz like i said, i have a shuttle drive me to the gym and they often have to do **** first, like take people to the airport, so they usually make me wait a while before i go.


before people ask, im at the marriot stayen with my dad, hes here on buisness for 6 months, so i am too.

Yeah, seriously. If you can find any way to get to Powerbody, it'd do you a world of good. There's a few guys there that squat a grand, and I'm sure Putt would come get you in the Playaz Van if you asked nicely. I mean, it's got spinners and satellite tv.

If you want, PM me your info and I'll set you up with the guys there.

I feel like I should wrote "no homo" after that or something, but since I'm not a teenage boy, I'll refrain.
