José Montano
José Montano is the OG of our kids class; he’s been coaching the class since early 2021. Our kids love José and the feeling is mutual.
“I love watching these kids get stronger every week, more confident and want to do more every time they’re here.” José believes that while the kids are getting stronger and learning the technical skills of the different strongman events, they’re also learning about sportsmanship, setting goals, meeting challenges, and teamwork. “One of my favorite moments in class was overhearing one of the girls giving her friend lifting cues while deadlifting. It showed me how well she’s learned and is willing to help everyone else.”
José can’t wait to welcome your kids to our next DMG StrongKids session for ages 9-17!
bernadette jones
bernadette jones has been volunteering with dmgsk since 2021 and we’re thrilled that she’s stepped up to lead our youngest athletes!
bernadette utilizes her experience as a volunteer, competitive powerlifter, and mom, to help our 4-8 year olds learn and refine their physical and mental skills through combining play-based activities with age-appropriate strength activities, always with an emphasis on staying safe in a gym environment.
“I love helping kids feel comfortable in the gym. My goal is to cultivate a love for the gym at an early age so it can be an outlet for them when they are older, and not an intimidating place.”
bernadette has a fun and exciting program planned for our dmgsk 4-8 year olds, and she'd love to have your child join our next session!
