Allow myself to introduce… myself.

I’m Jesse Burdick — lifter, coach, and the guy who built The Weight Room to be the gym you’ve always wanted but could never find.

​

For over two decades, I’ve been in the trenches of strength training — coaching athletes, pushing lifters, and learning from some of the best minds in the business. From MLB, NFL, NBA, UFC, and collegiate athletes, to powerlifters chasing world records, and everyday people wanting to feel strong again — I’ve helped people get better, period.

​

I’m not just a coach — I’m a lifter. I’ve competed at the elite level across five weight classes, holding personal bests of a 909 lb squat, 628 lb bench press, and an 820 lb deadlift. I’ve walked the walk, and now I’m here to pass it on.

​

The Weight Room isn’t a side hustle or a franchise — it’s my life’s work. Every rack, platform, and barbell here was chosen with purpose. Every program we run is built from years of experience, not recycled templates. And every athlete, lifter, and professional who walks through our doors gets my full attention.

​

My mission is simple: to make people stronger — physically, mentally, and in every aspect of their lives. Strength changes everything, and I believe that deeply. Whether you’re an athlete chasing scholarships, a business leader trying to reclaim your edge, or a lifter ready to see what’s possible, I’ve got your back.
