“Kyle understands there is no ‘one step’ approach in powerlifting, but that the key to success is multifactorial and unique to each athlete. All the better, he has the knowledge to help athletes adapt to life stressors, injury and caters programs to maximize the lifters potential.
One year and nine months under his wing has equated to not only an objectively large increase in my total, but in my confidence as well. We have navigated injury, large life changes/ stressors all while stacking pounds on my total. April 2023, with a 1040lb total and a big fish in a small pond attitude, I have since reached numbers I wouldn’t have fathomed with a 500 dots and 1196lb total. Now I’m a slightly bigger fish in a big pond and stand a chance to podium at a nationals level meet.”

“I can’t stress enough the importance of having a top tier and experienced coach in your corner. This whole prep has been the best prep I have ever had. Coach Kyle has been with me the whole way, he is a very hands on coach and is extremely knowledgeable in his craft.”
Robb Francis
“I hired Kyle just six weeks before a national level competition, a daring decision given the stakes involved. From our very first conversation about my aspirations, I was convinced that we could achieve remarkable results together. With so much at risk, it was indeed a challenging situation for a coach working with a new athlete.
His dedication and insight transformed not just my technique but my entire mindset. He pushed me beyond my limits, often reminding me that comfort zones are where dreams go to die.
Kyle’s belief in my potential was contagious; it ignited a fire within me that I had never experienced before.
The countdown to nationals became a thrilling journey rather than a daunting pressure. With each passing week, I could feel my confidence building alongside my strength. The atmosphere during training shifted; it was electric, charged with purpose and ambition.
Kyle didn’t just coach me; he transformed my approach to the sport, teaching me that greatness is not just about the numbers but about the journey and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
At nationals, we achieved our goal: a 450-pound pull and a 500 DOT score. Some coaches help you become proficient, while others elevate you to greatness. Kyle is the latter—he will guide you to greatness.”
Haley Sheehan
“I started working with Kyle after 5 years of powerlifting experience. I was always scared of turning over my training to someone else, but it was the best decision I ever made. Working with Kyle helped me to reach my lifetime goal of a 2,000 lb raw drug tested total (on a power bar). Additionally, I reached my goal of 500 dots, totaling 1973 at 285 body weight.
What I love about working with Kyle is that he’s flexible, which is an indication of not just a hardworking coach, but one who is knowledgeable in strength science and theory. He knows all periodization strategies, conjugate, linear, and bodybuilding training. He also takes the time to get to know all his athletes, so he always knew when to push me and when to hold me back. Kyle Sheridan is one of one of powerlifting’s best kept secrets.”
William O’Neil White
“While working with another coach, I was able to observe Kyle and The Crew at meets and knew I wanted to be part of that some day. After much hesitation and a transition from my previous coach, Kyle made me feel like part of The Crew before I was even committed. We work together primarily through the app and despite my reservations, the lessons have been invaluable since day one. From video critiques, to noticing and understanding how every inch can make a difference, Kyle’s expertise is unmatched. The second you are considering taking your strength and passion to the next level, know Kyle has your back (and all muscle groups). Join Kyle and the gains will assuredly follow in every facet of your life.”
Jacquie Chavers
“Through medical school, Kyle has been a constant source of support, discipline, and motivation. He has been a friend for a while and have witnessed his clients reach new heights regularly, and I’m grateful to be doing the same. His wealth of experience kept me progressing while adapting to my demanding schedule, ensuring I stayed strong both physically and mentally. More than just training, he challenged me, made me resilient, held me accountable, and instilled a mindset to push through challenges—qualities that will serve me well in Powerlifting and Medicine. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance and the lasting impact Kyle has had on my journey.”
Collin Stirpe
“A good powerlifting coach is key, but Kyle is more than that. He’s helped me grow both inside and out of the gym. I met Kyle at my first powerlifting meet, he was the friendliest guy you could ever talk to. From the start he was way more than helpful, so when I finally joined the Crew I knew things were about to take off. I brought my total up over 75lbs in one year with Kyle and am so proud to have him in my corner as I continue my journey as a powerlifting athlete and coach!”
Taylor Sawyer
“While working with Kyle for a little over a year now, I’ve truly been able to see the magic for not only myself but other members of The Crew. His knowledge and dedication for getting The Crew to where they want to be and his ability to meet people where they are in the journey is something special for sure. Kyle’s gotten me past barriers I’ve had for myself physically and mentally and has coached me into a few state records along with PR’s I didn’t think were possible for myself. His lessons, form tweaks and wisdom this past year has helped immensely. He truly takes his time to brainstorm with you and will work with you thoroughly to get the best he can out of you. Take the step to join The Crew, numbers will go up and you’re for sure to learn things that will carry with you throughout your career in the sport.”

“My numbers have gone through the roof and Coach Kyle helped combat pain with my squat technique and shoulders. He’s a genius when it comes to programming. If you guys want the best coach in Rochester, he is the one.”
