ABOUT US
STEVIE & lEE SEELEY
Hey There,
​
We're Stevie and Lee and we started The Strength Foundry back in June of 2020 when we saw a need for detailed & compassionate strength coaching. We have both always been athletes, but after dabbling in 5k's, obstacle course racing, and bodybuilding splits, we found our passion in strength training and competitive powerlifting.
​
We started our powerlifting journey on our own with little to no guidance. Lee coached himself through his first 2 years of powerlifting which included a National Championship in 2019 and an 805lb deadlift in 2020. Since then he has continued to break records in both the 220 & 242 class including the national deadlift record of 832 lbs and an elusive 2k lb total.
Stevie has competed and held records in the 52kg class finishing 2nd at Nationals in 2019. Since then she has became certified in Pre and Post Natal Coaching where she used that knowledge to train herself through her own pregnancy. After rehabbing herself post c-section she stepped back on the platform at just 7 months postpartum.
The Strength Foundry initially started as a name for our garage gym, where we would train a few close friends for free. Eventually we had more and more people looking to us for coaching guidance and before we knew it we were unofficially coaching a group of athletes. We really enjoyed helping people and wanted to be able to help provide more people with quality affordable coaching, so we launched The Strength Foundry as an official coaching business.
​
WHy us?
Our mission when we launched The Strength Foundry was to provide a comprehensive and individualized strength training experience to everyone who is passionate about getting stronger.​
​
The market is overly saturated with coaches who are just trying to make a quick buck. The ones who advertise 1:1 coaching but hand out cookie cutter programs and rarely respond to messages.
​
That's not us! We believe in data collection, intentional periodized training and constant communication. But what really sets us apart is that our athletes have access to 2 educated and compassionate coaches with different areas of expertise.
​
Our goal is being able to help people move and perform better. Outside of coaching we both maintain full time jobs. Some may claim this to be a disadvantage, but we see it as a strength. We don't have to hustle to get and maintain tons of clients. Instead, we limit our roster to ensure that we can give the necessary time and attention to each one of our athletes.
​
Professionally, we have the following qualifications:
-
ISSA Certified Strength and Conditioning
-
ISSA Certified Personal Trainer
-
Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach
-
Pre and Post Natal Coaching Certification
-
We also believe continuing education is extremely important and are always attending seminars and reading articles to ensure our knowledge is up to date.
