Palmer Griffin

With  15+ years of training experience, Palmer has worked with athletes across youth, high school, collegiate, and adult populations, including  Division I, II, and III competitors in basketball, baseball, softball,  track & field, and volleyball. His training approach blends sports  performance, corrective exercise, movement efficiency, and long-term  athletic development, ensuring athletes are not only faster and  stronger—but more resilient.

Palmer  is known for creating a high-energy, accountable training environment  that emphasizes technique, intent, and measurable progress, while  building confidence both on and off the field.

Palmer  Griffin was born and raised in Camden, North Carolina, where he  competed in baseball, basketball, and football. A multi-sport athlete,  Palmer helped lead his high school basketball team to a state appearance his senior year, developing a deep appreciation for teamwork,  discipline, and competitive culture.

After high school, Palmer attended East Carolina University, where he pursued  opportunities as a walk-on baseball athlete. He later earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, with a  concentration in Physical Education and Health (Teaching), from  Elizabeth City State University.

Following college, Palmer relocated to Virginia Beach, where he began building  his foundation in strength training and powerlifting, developing  advanced proficiency in the deadlift and bench press. This hands-on  experience laid the groundwork for his coaching philosophy: strength drives performance, and health sustains it.
