Thor Strength Gym in Littleton, Colorado
ABOUT US
The idea of Thor Strength was born in 2014, as Strong Island Coaching. Through the years, this business has evolved from a basement mobility workout to a beach conditioning class to what Thor Strength is today: a well-rounded program centered around strength, core stability, mobility and general physical preparedness (GPP).
Strength and core stability have become the main pillars used to guide our members to a more successful future. Mobility is the structural integrity of the pillars, allowing us to move more freely and without limitations. GPP is our supplemental work, established to complement our strength movements, eliminate muscle imbalances and promote better mental and physical conditioning. No matter where you’re coming from, we will meet you there and help you achieve your goals.
What began as a personal training side project has transitioned into a professional coaching community where our members help one another to improve. We pride ourselves on establishing a body neutral space, where you can feel comfortable in your skin, and be praised for the progress in your strength.
Looking for something more? We are also looking to expand our coaching in both strongman and powerlifting. Currently, we have a handful on clients who compete in either sport. Amongst our clients, we’ve broken several state and national records.
Meet the team
PK THORSTENN
I first discovered strength training during my freshman year of high school, when I met my parent’s personal trainer. This led me to get my own certification a few years later. I started coaching friends and others students during college.
Upon graduating from Clark University with a B.S. in Biology, I moved to Bahamas for a year. During my time in the Bahamas, I worked primarily as a divemaster, but I also developed a training program for my co-workers. I even built functional gym on the beach for our guests.
When I returned to NY, I went back to school to get my M.B.A. As a graduate student, I also managed an Anytime Fitness - where I not only helped during the opening stages, but also led all personal training. During this time of my life, I discovered Strongman and began competing.
In 2018, my wife and I decided to start our lives together and move to Denver. Since moving here, we’ve been building my coaching business. I began by working at a box gym, then rented space at a private studio. After a while, I decided to turn our garage into a training studio. Business grew to a point where my next step was to open Thor Strength. Now we are in our second space and I’m so excited to continue to grow this community and see everyone progress.
PADI DIVEMASTER
Right after graduating from college, I was on a plane to Andros island, in the Bahamas, to work at a resort. I spend a year teaching guests how to dive. I’ve logged over 500 dives. My favorite dives were the ones with sharks.
DOG DAD
My wife and I are parents to two beautiful little ewoks. Señor and Luna are brother and sister, from the same litter. Señor is our lazy guard dog and Luna is our queen of the castle. They may be the ones leading our warm-ups from time to time.
ICE CREAM LOVER
I love Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food…and I am not ashamed! When I began bulking to compete in strongman, Phish Food and I were attached at the hip. I always make sure that I get my regular dose of ice cream.
