Coaches

When you join GAIN, our coaches become your support staff. We’re here to teach and provide understanding, create accountability and make sure you’re being challenged appropriately.

 

Justin Miner

Justin is a coach with over 10 years of real-world experience in helping people achieve their fitness goals.

He holds a degree in exercise science from the University of New England and discovered his love for the gym while training for hockey in high school. He has since explored numerous training philosophies, including powerlifting, weightlifting, sports performance training, kettlebells, functional fitness and running.

After college, Justin struggled with his own training and developed agonizing back pain. After a severe training slump, he learned more about mobility and flexibility and slowly rebuilt his movement patterns, getting himself out of pain and once again, enjoying the gym. These experiences made him a better coach and he founded GAIN in 2014, using the methodology he developed through years of studying and trial and error.

Justin's approach helps older adults feel better throughout the day, and many clients at GAIN are in their 60s and 70s. However, his approach scales up and can challenge people of all experience levels who have big goals, like busting personal records, taking on a endurance events like a triathlon or ultra marathon, or mastering the Olympic lifts.

When he's not coaching, Justin enjoys trail running and has run over 20 ultramarathons. His favorite spot to explore is the White Mountains, usually with his dog Clementine. He’s ran all of the popular routes, like the Pemi-Loop and the Hut Traverse, and crossed off all but one of the Four Thousand Footers.

Justin’s wife Hannah is his training partner and they have two young boys, Elliot and Nolan.

Join Justin at GAIN or through personalized online coaching to experience his unique training philosophy and achieve your fitness goals.
