I'm Garson, the founder of Squats and Hops.
I'm a strength coach, a beer nerd, and someone who believes you shouldn't have to choose between getting stronger and enjoying life.
With over a decade of coaching experience, I’ve worked with everyone from Division 1 athletes to weekend warriors who just want to move better, lift heavier, and feel good doing it. My goal is to help you train hard, train smart, and still enjoy a cold one at the end of the day.
I created Squats and Hops to challenge the all-or-nothing mentality that dominates the fitness world. You don’t need to give up your favorite food or drink to make progress. You don’t have to train for two hours a day or obsess over macros to get results. You just need a plan that fits your life and a coach who gets it.
I love:
• Smart, effective training that respects your time
• Helping people get stronger without getting overwhelmed
• Craft beer, live music, a good pair of lifting shoes, and lifting stones in the Texas heat
I hate:
• Fitness gimmicks
• Coaches who try to impress you instead of help you
• Programs that burn you out before you even get started
Whether you're lifting in your garage, chasing down a consistent routine, or trying to balance training with real life, you're in the right place. I'll help you build strength, feel better, and enjoy the process without pretending your favorite drink doesn’t exist.
If you're ready to train smarter, enjoy your life, and stop spinning your wheels, check out my programs or shoot me a message.
I’d love to help you get stronger and feel more like yourself again.
