Griffin’s introduction to the gym came at 14 when he started strength training for baseball. He was taught by coaches with degrees in exercise science and was inspired to study the same at Creighton University in Omaha, NE. His interest in strength training grew into a love for many other aspects of health and wellness including human performance, anatomy/physiology, and exercise prescription. Experienced in various health practices, in his senior year at Creighton he could often be found cold tubbing in a horse trough on the porch of his college house. Previously an organized athlete, he still enjoys training like one—including power/strength exercises to emphasize explosive movements—while leaving room for hypertrophy. Griffin’s next fitness goal is to compete in Ironman triathlons. He enjoys training clients like he trains himself—athletically. He believes in understanding the “why” of what we do and works to communicate those scientific principles.
