Finnian McGarvey finn_mcgarvey@mines.edu
Training Specialties:
- Strength Training and Powerlifting
- Hypertrophy training
- Athletic Development
Education and Certifications:
ISSA Certified Personal Trainer (CPT)
Training Philosophy:
I believe effective training comes down to consistency, discipline, and understanding how to make progress over time. My approach focuses on progressive overload, proper technique, and programming that fits each person's goals and ability. I also believe that training is about more than just getting stronger or building muscle. It teaches you how to stay disciplined, handle setbacks, and be honest with yourself about where you can improve. I want to help clients build a strong foundation, understand the reasoning behind their training, and develop habits they can maintain long term. Whether your goal is building muscle, improving strength, or becoming a better athlete, my goal is to help you train with purpose and become more confident and independent in the gym.
Interests and Hobbies:
Outside of training, I enjoy powerlifting, bodybuilding, snowboarding, and spending time outdoors. My background in football and wrestling helped develop my interest in strength, athletic performance, and physical development. I enjoy learning about exercise science, training programming, and nutrition, and I am always looking for ways to improve my own training while helping others reach their goals.

Training Philosophy:
Pursuing your fitness can be hard. Sometimes you feel stuck in your journey and need someone to get you more comfortable in the gym or more confident in your exercises. That's when looking for a professional can be helpful, especially if they love what they do. I enjoy a very hands-on approach where I can give feedback to clients and check in with how they're feeling or answer any questions they have about what should be happening. I also encourage client input when making a plan for them, so that I can get a good gauge of what they are interested in and what will help them best.
Interests and Hobbies:
Small team sports, working out, casual video games
