Real coaching for real people. Whether you've never picked up a dumbbell or you're prepping for fight night, you're in the right place. Coach Gerbs is an Exercise Physiology grad working out of Powerhouse Gym Elite and Sensation MMA, building programs for first-timers, weekend gym-goers, athletes, and fighters alike.
Background, training grounds, the file you'd flip past in episode one. Real credentials, real reps.
REAL ONE
CERTIFIED
Started in the weight room. Stayed for the science. Coach Gerbs took the long way through Chico State's Exercise Physiology program, learning why the body does what it does before learning to push it past where it's been.
Coaching out of two of Redwood City's strongest rooms. Powerhouse Gym Elite for the strength and hypertrophy work. Sensation Mixed Martial Arts for the combat conditioning. Programming that holds up to a fight night and a leg day in the same week.
"Your goals are the boss fight. We're just here to grind the levels."
Every client gets a real plan, not a copy-paste split. Pick the one closest to your goal and we'll customize from there in your first session.
First time in the gym? Coming back after years off? This is where every story begins. We learn the lifts, build the habits, and get you moving with confidence. No judgment, no ego.
Speed, power, agility. For the athlete with a season, a combine, or a comeback to prepare for. Field, court, mat. We train to your sport.
Built at Sensation MMA. Strength and conditioning that holds up across rounds, for fighters and combat sport athletes who need more than a pump.
Move better, hurt less, build the base. For people who need their body to work at the desk, on the trail, with the kids, without falling apart.
Coming back from an injury or feeling beat up after years of grinding? We rebuild progressive load. No reckless reps, just real ground gained.
That's most people. Book a free intro call and we'll talk through your goals, your schedule, and which program fits. No pressure, no upsell.
Talk it through →Two real rooms. One for the iron, one for the cage. Both in the heart of Redwood City. Pick whichever fits your training, or roll between them.
Open since '94. Real iron, real plates, real culture. Where the strength and hypertrophy programming gets done. Heavy compound work, hypertrophy splits, the cornerstone of every program.
American Top Team affiliate. MMA for everyone, from fighters to hobbyists to clients building combat-ready conditioning. Strength & conditioning programming with the cage in mind.
Plenty of trainers can count to ten. Coach Gerbs can tell you why rep nine matters more than rep one, and program it accordingly.
Exercise physiology degree means programs grounded in how the body actually adapts, not whatever's trending on TikTok this week. Periodization, progressive overload, real recovery science.
The same coaching brain that programs fight camps writes your first 12 weeks. Methods that hold up under pressure work even better in the calm. Your beginner plan is over-engineered, on purpose.
Anyone can crush you for one session. Coach Gerbs builds programs that make sense at week 1, week 12, and week 52. Sustainable, scaleable, repeatable.
Every plan is built for you. Your sport, your schedule, your back-of-the-knee that hurts on Mondays. Real coaching, not cookie-cutter splits.
