“I've worked with Michael throughout most of my powerlifting career. I came to him after I had competed in high-school nationals without somebody experienced by my side…”

“Ben and I have been working together for about a year and a half now since we met at a meeting for the Husson Powerlifting Club, which he was the advisor of at the time.…”

“Working with Garrett not only helped me fuel and be a much better competitor, but it also helped me change my mindset as an athlete. Having someone I trusted for my training was important…”

“It's just so clear in our interactions that he genuinely cares so much about my individual well-being, of course as it directly relates to nutrition, but also far beyond just that…”

“When I started working with Gavin in November 2025, I had no powerlifting experience to speak of. I had picked up a barbell for the first time maybe six months prior to that; so, needless to say, I was basically a blank slate…”

“I have been working with Gavin for around two years now.
From our first to most recent meet we have had a 232 pound total increase across the 18 months bridging the meets…”

“My time working with Logan has been nothing but great! As Logan got me into powerlifting I was a total newbie.…”

“My inclusion with Team Hogan was unexpected and abrupt, but I couldn’t be happier with how welcoming and supportive the team has been.…”

“I met Logan at my first meet, where I was just dipping my toes into the world of powerlifting. My “coach” didn’t show up to the meet and I was just winging it…”

“Where do I even start with my time working with Erik, When I reached out for help…”

“I've been training with Logan for the past year, and the progress I've made under his guidance is truly amazing…”

“…Erik has been extremely supportive, understanding, and detail oriented, and I absolutely would not be where I am right now without him. Joining Team Hogan was the best decision I have made for my training and powerlifting journey thus far, and I absolutely would recommend Erik’s services to anyone interested in the sport at any experience level…”

“I first met Erik in July 2022; it was my first meet back after a long hiatus and I found myself befriending a group of women in my flight. I had been self-coached for my time in this sport and was blown away to see how relaxed they all were because they had this man in yellow pants running around telling them when to start warming up, what to put on the bar for each warmup, how much time was left until they hit the platform, and what order to go in. I watched them each take their attempt, speak a few words with their coach, and then just walk back to line without having to pull out a calculator or speak to the judges. Their attempts were well-chosen and I believe everyone went 9/9. Every one of them told me at the end of the meet…You have to get Erik as a coach! …”

“When I came to Erik just over a year ago, I thought that my best days of powerlifting were behind me. At the time I was dealing with a debilitating shoulder injury as well as some knee issues. While taking all that into account, Erik worked with me to create a rehabilitative program to not only get me back to being pain-free but I’m now the strongest I’ve ever been in my 10 year lifting career…”

“I’ve been coached by Erik since 2020 and I have had nothing but positive experiences under his service. Erik took me from someone who was always doubting myself to always having confidence under the bar that my lifts are to comp standards, and if not, Erik will fully break down the why and how to fix, instead of just saying to do better…”

“…Erik is not only my coach but my cheerleader and friend. He cares about me as an athlete and person. I love that Erik is supportive that I am a mom and that sometimes I must focus on my son instead of a training session…”

“…There is no question in my mind that without Erik, I would be nowhere where I am today as an athlete, and for that, I am forever grateful…”

“Where do I begin, I could go on and on about my time under Team Hogan. I started powerlifting in early summer of 2022 and it has been nothing but uphill since. I would have to say Erik is one of the most inspiring, hard working people I have met. I can take pride in saying he’s not only my coach, but a friend. I don’t think anyone understands the grit and dedication that he has to the game…”

“I first started working with Erik in late 2021 after a string of competitions and associated overtraining and weight cuts left me weak and injured. I compete in submission grappling, and strength on the mat is a key contributor to success, so in order to build myself back up to a level of strength and durability to take me to the next level in the sport, I reached out to Erik. In the time we’ve worked together, Erik has helped me rebuild confidence and strength in movement patterns I was essentially incapable of, and has led me to hit all time PR’s in almost every exercise he’s programmed for me, all while concurrently training submission grappling…”

“I’ve been working with Erik for a year now and couldn’t see myself ever working with anyone else. I have been competing in powerlifting since 2014, I have won Raw Nationals as a teen, had multiple American records in the bench press, and represented the United States at IPF Bench Worlds. It was hard at first to trust someone else with my programming because I had felt that I knew what was best for me, but I can honestly say I would not have made this amount of progress so fast if it wasn't for Erik…”
