Zach Even - Esh

Welcome to Gladiator STRONG. I'm your Coach, Zach Even - Esh, the Founder of The Underground Strength Gym & the author of The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength & Conditioning.

Since 2002 I've worked with athletes ranging from D1 to Adults, from Tier 1 Military to Youth & High School. The Gladiator STRONG workouts have been PROVEN on thousands upon thousands of athletes from all walks of life, just like you. 

​

Our programs don't discriminate against the countless mthods that are highly effective at transforming athletes of all ages into stronger, faster, tougher and overall more resilient people when it comes to kicking ass in Life AND Lifting.

We're not ONLY Kettlebells or ONLY Powerlifting, ONLY Weightlifting, etc. 

With experience under the bar since 1989 and having coached thousands of athletes and lifters since 2002, you will get the best of the best in program design.

Some of our members are D1 Athletes & Coaches, Special Ops Military, Men and Women in their 20s, 30s, 40s and older.

Anyone ready and willing to DO THE WORK & EARN their results is welcome here.

Each of our programs are dialed in according to YOUR goals, YOUR lifestyle, and YOUR equipment availability. 

Our training goes beyond the numbers you can lift on a barbell. Getting strong in the gym is only a part of what you'll experience as part of my online training team.

TRUE Strength transcends Beyond the barbell and the gym. Through our training, you'll develop a unique strength that carries over to your life. 

It's easy to be a BadAss under a barbell.....

Kicking ass in LIFE is where the REAL magic lies and that's what we're gonna do here. 

Here is some feedback from 1 of our team members:

"Z, just wanted to get a quick testimonial up on this thread.

I am having a GREAT experience being on the Gladiator Team! The programming has been off the hooks! 

I am adding movements, sets & rep schemes and training ideas that I’ve never attempted in the past while working out on my own. The athletes who are active on the feed are positive, inspiring & motivating, it’s a blast to exchange ideas and to be interacting with my “virtual teammates.” 

Everyone is posting PR’s, program tweaks & suggestions when they don’t have the spec’d equipment for that day, motivating thoughts – It really is a great group of people that are connected from all corners of the globe. 

I am pushing myself to stay accountable to the team, and the team is “virtually” pushing me to stay on-track, not miss a workout, and to push my numbers via the leader board, I am definitely gaining strength in both body & mind. 

And, it’s great to see you checking in with everyone on the board, you really are taking an active role in how we are doing.

I’d highly encourage any of your Main Site readers to give it a shot, join the team, and get after it with us! Cheers, Z!!!"
