Meet the coach, philosophy, and standards behind Gorilla Strong.
You're not joining a gym. You're hiring a coach.
I'm Hal Davis, founder and head coach of Gorilla Strong. I've been coaching since 2013, helping real people stop guessing, train with purpose, and build strength that carries into every part of life.
My job is not to count your reps. It is to give you a plan, teach you how to execute it, hold you accountable, and make sure every hour you spend training moves you forward.
Why I built Gorilla Strong
There are plenty of places where you can rent equipment. That was never my goal.
I built Gorilla Strong to create the kind of gym most people are searching for—a place where coaching matters more than check-ins, where your name is known, your progress is measured, and your effort is respected.
Strength changes lives. It creates confidence, helps people recover from adversity, and prepares them for challenges they never saw coming.
Help ordinary people become extraordinarily capable.
If you're willing to show up, I'll show you exactly how to get there.
Train With Coach Hal →Built on coaching. Not hype.
Coaching before hype.
Gorilla Strong was built around a simple belief: people deserve more than access to equipment. They deserve direction, standards, and a coach who notices whether the work is actually changing them.
If you're willing to work, we'll give it direction.
Come in, tell us where you are, and we will build the next step.
