Inna Koppel has been a Starting Strength Coach since 2014. She established the first Starting Strength Affiliate Gym on Long Island. Her primary area of expertise is coaching women, ranging from teens to late-life, including perinatal training, with a particular interest in the elderly and frail. Inna’s interest in using barbells to help the elderly achieve a better quality of life led her to assist in implementing, in collaboration with neuroscientists, the first and only trial of barbell training in the dementia population. After the COVID-19 policies in New York forced her to close her Affiliate Gym, she has been tasked with identifying and developing coaching talent to ensure that Starting Strength continues to develop the industry’s most talented and experienced coaches. Inna’s expertise lies in assisting veterans and aspiring Starting Strength coaches in their career development and educational pursuits.

Inna is a phenomenal coach. She cleaned up a few technical issues with both my press and my deadlift when I trained with her at Starting Strength HQ.
Inna is a fantastic coach. I have been working with Inna, alongside another one of her coaches (Nick), for about 4 years now. Inna is one of the most dedicated people I have been privileged to work with. I had just left another gym I was in and was so happy to find someone who applauds strength above all. Inna taught me how to lift without fear of hurting myself. She is able to look at each lift and know exactly what you need to do to move further along. She is so encouraging. When I built my own home gym she was so encouraging about my working on my own and always welcomes me back when I need some one on one time to tweak my lifts. Any time I feel defeated by my workouts, she finds a way to show me how strong I am and how much potential I have . I highly recommend Inna to anyone looking for fantastic starting strength coaching.
Inna is an amazing coach. She introduced me to lifting and has ever since supported me. Every time I trained with her, she gave me nothing but her undivided attention, acute feedback and positive vibes. Training with Inna is fun and rewarding! Without her I’d be weak!
Inna is simply the best coach one could ever hope for! She is dedicated, kind, encouraging, personable, knowledgeable, and supportive. She taught me not only the techniques but also the love and appreciation for getting stronger. Her work in and out of gym is something to admire and respect! Inna’s cues and teaching really helped me learn a lot about lifting and how I understand my body. So happy that I got to learn from Inna. She will change your life!!
Inna is the most amazing, attentive kind and caring coach anyone could have .I had really bad neck pain for years from working at computers all day , after a few sessions of strength training correctly I was shocked it was gone. I have come to Inna numerous times after sustaining injuries and with her help and brilliant guidance I was healing and working out again pain free. After being hit by a car and tearing my ACL, Inna taught me alternative ways to rehab my body and to help with my pregnancy. I highly recommend training with Inna if you can get a chance .
Thank you to #StartingStrength Coach Inna Koppel for being so patient with me and tailoring your coaching to my exact needs! The cues and fixes to my form issues that Inna identified are precisely what was needed to get my lifts dialed in. 🏋♂️
For anyone in need of some help with their #barbell training, I highly recommend seeing an #SSC like Inna! There really is no substitute for #ActualCoaching 🙂 🙂
Inna is a brilliant coach who introduced me to barbell training and transformed me into a different person. For any of my lifts she knows exactly what to correct and how to clearly communicate the correction, paving the way for me to accomplish milestones I never would have imagined. I highly recommend, anyone interested in getting stronger, go straight to Inna.
From the first day I reached out to Inna, her professionalism and many years of experience was easy to see. It was obvious from the beginning, that the thousands of clientele she has coached and the tens of thousands of hours she has invested into her passion for coaching, has made her a wealth of knowledge and wisdom in the trade of being a coach.
In my opinion, Inna is one of the best coaches in the world. The individual care and extreme attention to personal detail Inna gives, make you feel not just like a client, but like a long lost family member who will do whatever in her power to help you achieve the goals you want to attain, with a clear and precise pathway of getting there.
Inna has impeccable success with all demographic groups, male , female, young and old. Everyone will see real results from her personal care and extreme attention to detail.
I have only words of praise to say about Inna and her abilities.
Inna is the best coach and role model for strength–physically and mentally. She has helped me adapt my training to fit into my life, no matter the circumstances. I am able to continue to do what I love, and be strong for myself and my family. She is extremely detailed and thorough, while always caring for her client’s needs and desires. I am so thankful to have Inna in my life as a coach and mentor.
