I started Explosive Mechanics in 2008 after spending years in the pursuit of strength and athletic performance. I wanted a gym that was all about the results with no fluff. I wanted to open something that was not available to me as a young athlete. After opening Explosive Mechanics it has been my goal to provide athletes with the best training possible, using experience, science, and proven methods.
