Who am I?

Drew Craig

I finished my Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology with an emphasis on Movement Studies and a Minor in Sport Performance within the Coaching and Administration pattern May of 2023 and was fortunate to intern under Coach Collin Coughenour the head Strength and Conditioning Coach for Chico State. However, it is not just academics that I bring to the equation. The beauty of being an older student is the ability to bring a host of life experiences to the classroom, therefore only enhancing the process of learning. Most notably I worked as a motorcycle dealership service/parts manager underneath my father at ChicoMotorsports for the last 13 years who himself has successfully steered his business for 40+ years to prosperity.

Outside of traditional school I have been blessed with many opportunities to lead and learn. I was a head trainer for a local workout group. We met 6 days a week morning and night each session with its own unique training session with effectively zero equipment. Along with coaching groups I have been doing individual coaching with actual gym equipment over the last 4 years, which has given me a vast insight into what individuals want out of a gym experience. The main takeaway was each person feels comfortable coming to my gym as it felt like a welcome environment focused on individual learning and personal growth. Through these experiences alone I feel I will be able to meet your subconscious needs that in turn will allow you to prosper like never before. 

Along with knowing how to treat others, I have learned how to treat myself through a series of injuries and rebuilding. As a coach I believe you can’t ask someone to go somewhere mentally when you yourself have never been there. Through my intense trials of rebuilding I have found a deeper understanding of myself that I believe everyone can experience and I feel I can help you get there without the same level of discomfort of course. My communication style comes forth from all the experiences I have had which helps me adapt to everyone I work/speak with. In addition, I’ve also worked in restaurants, orchards, construction, and the walnut shelling industries giving me a well-rounded source of experiences to pool from to help adapt to each one of you.

Within the world of sports, I have the fondest of affection towards football along with strength sports such as Strongman, Powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting. I have played on many teams and been the source of failure and success. Through those happenings I learned what makes a better team athlete and individual athlete. My strengths lie in being able to identify, exploit and enhance the strengths of others around me. Whether they are strategic strengths or those of raw physical strength I have learned how to foster their growth beyond what was thought capable. That is the main goal of this facility, to foster growth within all of you and build a solid foundation of fitness to enhance quality of life that was maybe never conceivable to you. If you give your absolute trust in me, I promise to give you the same energy back. Together we can grow more than we could imagine.
