Strongman Coaching Courses Are Coming to Exeter!

At Mammoth Strength Club we want to shake up the Strongman world in 2025 with the opening of our gym but we’re not going to stop there. Alongside our new facility we will also be launching a unique Strongman Coaching Course!

Whether you're a seasoned lifter, a strongman newbie, or just someone who loves the idea of flipping heavy tyres for fun, Mammoth's Strongman Coaching Course Level 1 has something for you. What’s unique about that? It’s the UK’s first CIMSPA*-accredited Strongman course - so not only will you be learning how to lift Atlas stones like Tom Stoltman, you'll also walk away with a shiny, official certificate that shows you mean business. Whether you’re a qualified PT who wants to stand out from the crowd and add a string to their bow when attracting clients, or a gym-goer looking to learn more about strongman and add a framework to your own training, this course is for you.

Why You Need a Strongman Coach (Even if You're Already Strong)

Think of a strongman coach like a sidekick, the ‘Robin to your Batman’, but instead of fighting crime, they’re making sure you don’t blow out your back while lifting a log overhead. A good coach isn't just shouting "lift heavier!" from the sidelines. They're there to tweak your form, create custom workouts that target your specific needs, and help you break through those strength plateaus. Plus, they’re the ones who remind you that rest days and proper recovery are a thing—because no one wants to be that person limping out of the gym due to overtraining.

Here’s what having a strongman coach can do for you:

1. Fixing Your Form – Maybe you’ve been squatting wrong this whole time (whoops), but with a coach, you’ll finally get that technique down, reducing injury risk and helping you lift heavier than ever.

2. Personalized Training Plans – Strongman training isn’t a one-size-fits-all deal. Whether you’re preparing for a competition or just want to out-lift your gym buddy, your coach will customize a plan that fits your goals.

3. Mental Toughness – Lifting massive weights isn’t just about muscle. It’s about keeping your head in the game when things get tough. A coach gives you the confidence boost and mental prep you need to crush it.

4. Avoiding Getting Bitten by the Iron Snake – No one likes being sidelined by injury. Coaches know how to monitor your progress and adjust your programme to keep you strong and pain-free.
