GGC Coaches & Contributors
Matthew Taylor
From eating disorders to broken bones, torn hamstrings and powerlifting records. Matthew Taylor is a dude who has made all the mistakes and been through a number of ups and downs, all so you don’t have to. Well, maybe that wasn’t his original idea. But as a coach, his goal is to help you avoid all of that and simply be a stronger version of your self.

Grant Brown
My name is Grant Brown. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area playing a lot of sports, ice hockey and wrestling in particular. While I had some very brief exposure to lifting in high school wrestling, it was mostly running and calisthenics. It wasn’t until college for strength and conditioning purposes that I started lifting more consistently to put on good weight for ice hockey.
