We are proud to introduce the newest member of our coaching team—Coach Travis.
You may have already seen him helping members with form or cheering someone through their final reps. Travis isn’t just another trainer. He’s a coach with a deep understanding of what it takes to help people get stronger, move better, and feel more confident in their bodies—especially as we age.
Travis earned his B.S. in Exercise Science from the University of Southern Maine, where he also ran track and field. After college, he dove into competitive powerlifting and now competes in Strongman in the Lightweight class. He jokes that his hobby is “just picking up rocks”—but his knowledge goes way beyond brute strength.
He’s certified through ISSA with a focus on powerlifting, and what makes him such a powerful addition to our team is how he tailors that expertise to the needs of our members.
Whether you’re managing chronic pain, rebuilding strength, or just trying to feel better in your body, Coach Travis brings a programming mindset that’s both individualized and results-driven.
But more than that—he fits right into the Black Bear culture. He believes in building people up, pushing them to grow, and meeting them exactly where they are. Just like we do.
We’re excited to have him on board, and we know you’ll love what he brings to your journey.
