Meet The Coach

Coach Sigi first started weightlifting in college as a supplementary training to his college sport of lacrosse. He spent the summer before his senior year getting certified with USAW Weightlifting making him a level 1 coach, and then interning in the Whittier College weight room his senior year. He was responsible for helping train the athletic teams and was solely responsible for the programming and training of the Whittier College tennis team. After college, Coach Sigi began interning at CrossFit Whittier and shortly after took over the StrongFit and Olympic Lifting classes. Since then StrongFit's programming has produced over 30 personal records and continues to show promise in building strength. The Olympic Lifting class has grown and while it still exists it's culture and community have dawned the creation of Whittier Barbell Club. Coach Sigi continues to lead the club and is set to get his Waxman's Coaching Certification in June!
