Testimonials:

"I can’t say enough good things about Brendan Papin as a coach and just a human being. Originally, I connected with him for a rehab consult, and he lead me in the right direction with rehabbing an SI joint injury that I was struggling with for months. I was on the look for coaches after a stint of self-coaching, and felt Brendan was the best fit, I was absolutely right. Since then we’ve gotten me 100% healthy and have surpassed my old numbers by a large margin, and have finally hit our “stride.” He’s also been a great mentor to me as I’ve learned so many things regarding programming, rehab, thought process, meet day coaching, etc that I’ve been able to apply to my own coaching. Couldn’t ask for a better coach, mentor and friend."

John CrumshoPowerlifter

"I have been Jeremy’s client for over two years, and he has made a huge impact on my powerlifting career. I have added around 200 pounds to my total since I have been apart of Momentum Powerlifting. Jeremy has a great eye for seeing technical errors and responding with the right cues in an encouraging way. All three of my lifts have come a long way with not only strength and technique, but also my mentality with the sport. I have gained a significant amount of confidence in hitting heavier weights, and Jeremy has had a big part in that. In 2024, I was able to qualify and compete at Junior Nationals within just a year of competing in powerlifting, and wouldn’t be able to do it without his guidance."
