Coach Zach

Zach has had over 5 years of Online Coaching under his belt. Alongside his tenure coaching at Black Flag Barbell, and training powerlifting now going onto 9 years, he is ready and able to work with you to achieve your strength goals. Before powerlifting coaching, Zach had been teaching piano for 4 years, where his passion to educate others began to grow.

Zach has been competing since 2016. After a few novice powerlifting competitions stints, he then began his sanctioned competitions seriously in 2018 as a GPC Australia competitor. After receiving an invitation to compete at GPC Australia Nationals in 2021, lockdown got in the way just two weeks out from competition day.

Zach has since made the switch and started competing in IPF affiliated powerlifting federations, working his way up the ranks and competing at APU Nationals in October 2022, and has since competed on the Nationals stage in APLA 3 times. Two of those as Open 3-Lift competitions, and once in Bench Only where he became National Champion in the u74kg class.

Zach continues to further develop his skills as a coach, taking part in online seminars that relate to coaching and programming, movement fundamentals and biomechanics. With all these extra tools at hand, he continually prepares himself to be the best coach he can possibly be.
