Coach Steffany Tuohy
Steffany grew up playing various sports as a kid; golf, tennis, skiing and soccer. Not until finding weightlifting as an outlet while studying at University of Orgeon, Steff hadn’t focused on a single sport. In 2012, Steffany joined Patrick starting her coaching career. Since that time, Steff has competed in regional bodybuilding + powerlifting competitions and enjoys working with athletes focused on performance goals.
“Watching clients build strength both inside + out of the gym is empowering. We learn from you as much as you learn from your Coaches.” Coach Steff appreciates the impact that feeling confident with a barbell in hand can have on the life of the lifter.

Coach Hannah Gurewitz
Hannah grew up an active kid and after heading off to college, discovered barbell weightlifting and every time she left the gym she felt empowered and strong. Hannah fell in love with the camaraderie and support and competed at her first powerlifting competition in February 2020.
Hannah hopes to share with other aspiring athletes that there is no specific athletic “look” and that there are definitely no barriers to what we are capable of. You are an athlete if you are driven to reach specific goals and milestones. Hannah believes in training and fueling her body to perform while living a balanced life.
