Hi, I'm Sam Krapf.

Starting Strength Coach and Owner of Ground Zero Strength Gym in Twin Falls, Idaho.

I help you overcome lifting plateaus and avoid aches and pains by optimizing personalized strength training programming for you.

You'll hit new PR's, look and feel stronger than ever, all without lengthy, grueling sessions that you hate.

A Strength-First Approach

Work with Starting Strength Coach Sam Krapf online, just like in the gym, but delivered world-wide.

With smart, realistic programming and lifting technique tailored to you, you can make progress on your lifts all year long. You will avoid months long ruts of stagnation and frustration.

With the right balance of heavy barbell based strength work and bodybuilding style accessory work, you can finally start to “look like you lift” and prove it with bigger numbers on the bar. With the right volume and frequency, you'll be able to bust your ass in the gym and still enjoy life outside the gym.

What’s the point of getting bigger and stronger if you’re too tired, sore, and injured to do the things you want to do? We will transform your lifts and your physique without spending your entire life in the gym.

You don’t need to train every day, and you don’t need to dedicate 2-3 hours for a workout.

"I am 51 and wanted someone with some real knowledge to keep me from hurting myself while getting back into the gym after a 25 year hiatus. In the 5 months I’ve been working with him I’ve only gotten stronger and have had no injuries. I’ve gained 20ish pounds of mostly muscle since I started and my lifts are improving every week. Yes, I was a skinny little guy when I started, skinny fat if you will and my weight was under 155 lbs when I started, and as of today I’m at 175 at 5’10”.

I should have done this a long time ago."
