I started lifting with Craig in the September of 2022. I had just competed in my first powerlifting meet and was struggling to make progress. Once I started working with craig, my lifts exploded and most importantly, I stopped having severe hip pain with the proper coaching. I have made amazing progress since working with Craig. My favorite ws when I hit my first 200kg deadlift in competition less than a year with working with Craig. I love the great LTS community we have and all the great people I have met and have become friends with. This really had added so much value and fun to my personal life.

I joined LTS about three years ago. Coach Craig and I have gotten to grow our programming strategy better, but also a true friendship. Craig has been an invaluable part of my lifting progression, which has previously taken me to the FISU University World Championships. Coach Craig has been able to also help me understand the “why” behind my training and has overall made me a more confident lifter when I step on to the platform. I’ve always enjoyed being on LTS and the people within LTS care about each other’s progress and truly want to see the best for each and every athlete. Coach Craig has also been able to come and speak at my university’s strength club, which gathered significant attention on our campus. LTS also does a great job of giving back each year with different lifting events. Overall my experience with LTS has been extremely positive and has helped transform me into a better lifter

I joined LTS back in May 2024 because I suffered a prolonged period of regression while coaching myself. Choosing to work with Craig was the best powerlifting decision that I have ever made. Not only did I regain the strength I lost, but I am now stronger than ever: my total soared from the low 500s to mid 600s. Coach is more than a coach to me, I see him as my mentor. He’s always excited to talk about any questions I have regarding this sport. He is also a man of character and never shies away from calling people in this sport who engage in degenerate behavior. I respect his constancy and righteousness. I cannot wait to see what we could accomplish together in the year to come.

I joined LTS as a lifter under Craig back in 2022. When I first started working with Craig I wasn’t very serious about powerlifting and I had been dealing with constant injuries on and off. After just a few months of working with Craig, I completely shifted my trajectory with powerlifting and felt like I unlocked my potential. I was able to correct a lot of my nagging injuries and reached new heights in all my lifts. Craig taught me about the powerlifting space as a whole and helped me find a path to eventually compete at the international level. When I first started I thought I was strong and had good numbers but looking back now,my old numbers before I started before I started with Craig are warmup numbers now. I can’t say enough about how much Craig has helped me develop over the years with his coaching. He truly is the best in the business!

Craig began coaching me in 2019, just before my first ever national championship. That back then would not believe where Craig’s selfless guidance and coaching would lead her years later. Throughout the years he’s helped me build mental and physical strength, resiliency both in and outside of the gym, and most importantly an irreplaceable community of fellow lifters and friends. Craig is most passionate about continuous growth and improvement and I can’t wait to see what heights he will bring his team next. I am so so proud to be part of LTS excellence.

I joined LTS with Craig around 3.5 years ago to help get me back into lifting without pain post injury. Throughout these years, Craig and his team have been extremely helpful and welcoming, with a great first impression of the PL community. Since then, I have no only been able to fully lift without pain, but I have also been able to excel tremendously in technique and strength. I believe the reason I work the best with Craig is due to his ability to explain the why aspect as well as being able to be straight forward with me in all aspects of coaching.

I have been working with Craig for close to 2.5 years now. Since working with him, I have added close to 300lbs onto my ottal and have gained immense knowledge and experience with powerlifting and competing. LTS is a top of the line coaching service that gives lifters real results while also giving back to the athletes who are a part of the team.

I stumbled upon Craig’s Instagram and saw how impressive his athletes progress was and started thinking about stitching to LTS. I then met him a few weeks later in Romania and we automatically clicked. It’s been over a year now of Craig being my coach and after going through 4 coaches in two years, Craig is the best and most knowledgeable coach I have ever met. I send every single person who asks me for coaching recommendations to go to Craig and every single one of them have been super happy with their decision.

I joined LTS less than a year ago to try something new and continue to build as a powerlifter. I came in with some injuries/programing gaps that have been super well addressed! As most LTS lifters, I was able to PR my total at my last meet ever after only 6 months of working with Craig. I was also able to reach my lifetime PR of 225 bench this winter as a 5’0 67.5kg female which was so exciting! Craig is a class act and will always take time to answer questions, address concerns, and get you on the right path. I feel I have grown immensely as a lifter in just a short time and know I will continue to grow under his guidance! So grateful to have found LTS!
