I’M COACH RICH YUN

During my younger years, I was overweight—a kid who spent most of his time playing video games and rarely staying active. I vividly remember a time when my mom became concerned about my health and took me to get my blood work done and see a nutritionist. At 13, my nutritionist told me my cholesterol levels were dangerously high and that if I didn’t change my diet and start exercising, I’d need to take medication to manage it. That conversation was a turning point in my life. From then on, I made a commitment to improve my health—every day after school, I did at-home exercises and focused on eating healthier. Six months later, my nutritionist told me my cholesterol was back to normal, and I wouldn’t need to take pills. That experience taught me the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. From that moment on, I found myself drawn to weightlifting and began learning how to build muscle. In college, I discovered powerlifting and even became one of the founding members of my college powerlifting club. I competed in competitions and set numerous state records, and powerlifting became an integral part of my life!

I know how challenging it can be to find the passion and commitment to change your lifestyle. It’s tough to do it alone, and I’ve always found it motivating and fun to do it with others. That’s why I’m here—not only as your coach but as a friend who wants to help you transform into the best version of yourself. Let’s build your confidence and embrace your fitness journey together, just like I did. Let’s get started!

CLIENT REVIEWS

"I’ve been working with Rich for just five weeks, and the transformation—both physically and mentally—has been incredible. He helped me realize that I had been coasting for the past 6–12 months, which led me to where I was before starting this journey. Rich has been there every step of the way, whether I needed a push or reassurance that I was on the right track. I had always sworn off working with coaches who provided meal plans, but his inclusion of Asian foods was a game-changer for me! The training is intense, and I won’t pretend I don’t groan at the sight of the stair climber—but I trust his expertise, so I show up and put in the work. Investing in myself with Rich’s guidance has been one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I have no doubt he will get me exactly where I want to be!"

"Before starting this program in December of 2024, I felt stuck and uncertain about my health. But once I began training with Rich Yun, my perspective shifted. There were definitely times when the workouts felt tough, and I questioned my ability to keep going. However, Rich’s support and the progress I started to see kept me motivated to push through. What I really appreciate about Rich is his ability to motivate you to keep going, while making each session both challenging and rewarding. He’s incredibly supportive, flexible, and truly helps you feel better about yourself as you see your results. I would highly recommend Rich as a personal trainer and coach if you’re serious about achieving your fitness and health goals. What stands out the most is his genuine care for his clients and their well-being. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach. Thank you, Rich!"
