Kyle Whitcher, P.E.
“Before I became a strength coach I was a college student and went to grad school. I have always been in the gym and I first started working at a gym in Iowa. What got me started with strength training was that I was always an ambitious and very motivated athlete. Also, I was always surrounded by people who were always in the weight room like coaches, friends, and mentors. One thing that led me to become a strength coach was about how cool it was to see the amount of confidence a person can gain from lifting weights and what comes with this is putting yourself in a very uncomfortable and vulnerable spot. A quote that I always tell my students is, ‘without challenge there is no change.’ I mean, at one point you are going to realize that health is going to become really important to you.”

!["I really like to be involved in things, even though I don't have much time to do anything. I try to involve myself in school as much as possible. When I get older I want to join the Air Force, but I have to do a lot of training [in order to do this] and you have to be able to do a lot of conditioning to get in. Managing my time is one of my biggest struggles, but there [are] a lot of things I want to do [so I make time] to do them. My biggest advice for someone who is having trouble managing their time is to pick the things you really love and stick with those things."](https://psouthtreaty.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/DSC_5081-843x1200.jpg)
!["[My advice for incoming freshmen is] stay on top of your work. Set a good first impression for everybody because the teachers are going to be looking at you. I would say freshman year was my hardest year because I was in a new environment with new people and a new space. It takes a lot to get comfortable with. It's not like middle school--it's a complete change."](https://psouthtreaty.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/unnamed-1.jpg)
