About Convoy Gym

Army Background | Master of Science | Rated 4,9 stars 100+ reviews

Convoy Gym was built for people who want structure, clarity, and results — not random workouts. Our approach is shaped by three foundations: discipline from the army, precision from a Master of Science, and performance from competition experience.

That combination defines how we coach, how we train, and how we help people progress.

Why Convoy Exists

Most gyms focus on volume: more members, more classes, more noise.

Convoy was created around something else: your progress and strength.

With backgrounds in:
• Military training, where discipline and consistency are non-negotiable
• Engineering and science, where decisions are based on data and testing
• International sport, including bobsleigh at national level, where performance margins matter

We built Convoy as a place where training has a clear purpose and measurable outcome.

Every program exists for a reason.
Every session moves you forward.

How We Work

At Convoy, training is treated like a process — to get from A to B.

You can expect:

Strength training based on proven principles
Progressive programming instead of random workouts
Technique-focused coaching rooted in biomechanics
Adjustments based on data, recovery, and performance

This scientific approach means we don’t chase trends.

We apply what consistently works — and refine it.

From Everyday Strength to High Performance

Convoy trains a wide range of people:

• Professionals who want to get stronger and fitter
• Members working on long-term health and body composition
• Athletes preparing for competition

Our experience with high-performance sport, including bobsleigh training where strength, explosiveness, and precision are critical, informs how we coach everyone — not just athletes.

The standards stay the same. Only the starting point changes.

Built on Experience, Not Marketing

Convoy is run by coaches with years of experience in: Strength training Personal coaching Long-term lifestyle change Everything we teach on the gym floor is tested daily with real people, real schedules, and real constraints. No theory without practice. No advice we wouldn’t apply ourselves.
