Coach

Jim Roncal

Head coach of SemperFit and Vektløfter Barbell. Master’s in Sports and Health Sciences. USMC infantry background. Experienced, professional coaching — whether you want to get stronger or chase a total on the platform.

Jim built SemperFit so people could train with clear coaching and a community that shows up. Leave better than you walked in — with a plan that fits your goals.

Vektløfter Barbell is the USAW-sanctioned Olympic weightlifting club alongside that work: snatch and clean & jerk, real platforms, and a pathway for youth, women, masters, first-timers, and competitors.
