The beach-and-inlet borough at the mouth of the Manasquan River · Monmouth County

Private coaching
for Manasquan.

Private 1-on-1 personal training based in Brick Township, NJ — sessions run out of Lifters Lair Gym, 325 Brick Blvd, Brick Township.

Manasquan is a real year-round shore town — a walkable Main Street, a serious beach, and the inlet that made it a surf town long before that was fashionable.

A town that swims, surfs, and runs already has the habit. Coaching adds the missing piece: structured strength work programmed to a goal.

Strength for people who already move

Plenty of Manasquan residents are active — the gap is almost always resistance training with progressive load, which is what actually changes strength and body composition. A coached block fills exactly that gap without disrupting the swimming, surfing, or running you already do.

And for the surf specifically: paddling power, rotational strength, and conditioning are trainable qualities. A coach programs them on purpose.

What coaching looks like

  • Private 1-on-1 personal training

    One coach, one plan, measurable progress. No classes, no group pacing.

  • Built in 6

    The recommended first block — six weeks of coaching built around one clear goal.

  • Exercise-science programming

    Coached by Eric C. Lawes, M.S. in Exercise Science. Programming based on evidence, not trends.

  • Boxing for fitness

    Boxing used as training inside your private program — pads, bags, footwork and conditioning. No classes, no sparring, no contact.

Manasquan questions

Do you coach clients from Manasquan?
Yes — Manasquan is a short trip down Route 35 or over the river from the Brick side and is inside the service area.
Will lifting make me stiff for surfing or swimming?
Properly programmed, the opposite — full-range strength training performed with control tends to improve usable mobility. Stiffness comes from bad programming, not from strength itself.
Can I keep running or swimming during a coaching block?
Yes — the program is written around your existing training so the total load recovers. That's a core part of the assessment conversation.

Start with one conversation.

Your history, your goal, your schedule — that's the whole first step. No pitch, no pressure.
