JD Shipley, SSC

I found Starting Strength in 2016 and became an online coaching client around the same time.  In early 2018 I began coaching friends in my garage and signed up to open a couple franchise gyms in the Houston area at the end of the same year.  By August 2019 Starting Strength Houston was opened.  Starting Strength Katy opened in January of 2022.

My goal is to have people understand the need to train.  Not just to get strong but for the all-encompassing benefits that come with becoming so – general health as well as psychological resilience.  So, whether you train with us or alone in your garage or at some joke of a commercial gym…train.  Focus on adding the next 5lb.

Have questions about doing so – getting started, what to do next, guided input?  Give us a call.  We’d love to talk to you.
