What Our Athletes Say

“I’ve had a great experience working with my coach. He originally helped me hit some big milestones in powerlifting, but what I appreciate most is how easily he adapted when my goals changed. When I shifted my focus to volleyball and later started preparing to climb Mount Rainier, he completely adjusted my training to match what I needed. He’s knowledgeable, flexible, and really understands how to train for different goals. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a coach who actually listens and grows with you.”

“I started working with Khush about 3–4 years ago, and it’s easily been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness journey.

When I first started, I already had ongoing knee pain and tendinitis. Khush was always mindful of it and knew how to coach me through powerlifting while keeping the pain manageable. I used knee sleeves when squatting and, at the time, I couldn’t squat a plate without them.

My goal was to get stronger and eventually compete in powerlifting, and in less than two years I added 135 lbs to my deadlift, 110 lbs to my squat, and 50 lbs to my bench. About a year ago, I decided to step away from competing because of work, life, and my joint health. We shifted the focus toward recovery, functional strength, and becoming more athletic.

The difference has been huge. I now have no knee pain and can squat 275+ lbs for multiple reps without knee sleeves or discomfort. I also feel stronger, more athletic, and move much better overall.

What I appreciate most about Khush is that he doesn’t just chase numbers, he knows when to push you, when to adjust, and how to work around your limitations while still helping you make progress. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to get stronger, move better, and build long-term fitness.”

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with Kushman for over four years, and throughout that time, he has consistently shown how much he genuinely cares about his clients and their progress.

One of the things that stands out most is how excited he gets when he sees his clients grow and accomplish things they once thought were out of reach. He’s incredibly flexible and willing to work with each client’s individual needs, while still pushing them to strive for success.

My own experience is a great example of that. With his guidance and support, I was able to break the state squat record in powerlifting and take first place in my weight class. Those accomplishments mean a lot to me, and I’m grateful to have had someone in my corner who believed in my potential and continued pushing me forward.

He has a genuine love for fitness and for helping people become better versions of themselves. After working with him over the years, I can confidently say that his passion, dedication, and investment in his clients are what make him stand out as a coach.

If you want to push your limits, see real growth, and compete at your highest level, Kushman is the coach to work with.”

“I worked with Khushman From October of 2022 through early 2024, and I couldn't have asked for a better coach to guide me through my powerlifting journey. When I first started working with him I knew nothing about powerlifting and had a lot to learn about proper technique and movement. I was also extremely hypermobile, especially through my lower back and struggled controlling my movements during lifts.

He guided me through the entire process of powerlifting, from working blocks and programming to full meet preps. He also handled me at my meets, which made the entire experience that much easier and less stressful. During competitions, he would make real time decisions on my attempts based on how I was performing, while also personally loading my warm up weights and managing my weight jumps. He was able to do all of this while simultaneously coaching his other athletes at the meets.

Khushman has always gone above and beyond with his coaching. He was extremely patient, approachable, and always willing to address any questions or concerns I had. His problem solving skills, attention to detail, patience, and empathy made a huge difference in my development as a lifter and in the gym and general. His training and guidance ultimately led me to multiple successful meets and helped me become a much more confident and knowledgeable lifter.

I would highly recommend Khushman to anyone looking for coaching regarding any sport or overall wellness. He genuinely cares about his athletes and puts a lot of effort into making sure each person gets the guidance and support they need.”
