          John Dowdy, SSC

          Head Coach

          John started studying the Starting Strength method to improve his own training and soon began to coach others with the method as well.

          A native of Los Angeles, Paul opened and operated the first Starting Strength Affiliate Gym on the West Coast from 2014 to 2020.

          Having relocated to beautiful Boise, Idaho, Paul is now the Head Coach at the first official Starting Strength Gym in the state where he remains dedicated to helping people of all ages and athletic capabilities build stronger, more useful bodies through a simple, straightforward, systematic approach to barbell training.
