John's journey with Starting Strength began in 2020. His personal success with the program fueled a desire to share its benefits with others.

John believes that strength is fundamental to a high quality of life, and he believes everyone—regardless of age, background, or experience—can train effectively for it.

Travis Hunt, Owner
Strength Coach

Travis is a Boise native and teacher of 20 years. He found Starting Strength when looking for ways to help his mom retain her strength in her senior years. They began training at Starting Strength Boise, and the strength gains and social atmosphere helped tremendously with their progress. Now, Travis is the Owner, working as an apprentice, and taking the Coaching Prep Course, Travis is excited to bring his education career and life experience as a son, husband, dad, and grandpa into the gym and help others of all backgrounds see the same life-changing benefits he and his family have.
