Parisi Podcast 005-Strongman Stories and 30+ Years of Coaching Consistency With Chad Coy
Jul 07, 2025Episode 5 – Chad Coy: Strongman Stories and 30+ Years of Coaching Consistency
In this episode, we sit down with Chad Coy — Parisi’s Director of Business Development, Master’s Level Strongman, and one of the longest-standing Parisi facility owners in the country. Chad takes us through his journey from a college kid with a passion for lifting to becoming a decades-deep coach, educator, and competitor who’s still throwing around big weight and big wisdom.
We talk about how he broke into the industry, what’s changed (and what hasn’t) over the years, and the mindset it takes to stay consistent for 30+ years in both training and life. From Strongman meets to speed sessions, Chad’s got a story for everything — and he shares it all with the same energy he brings to the gym every day.
Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or just someone who loves hearing how passion turns into legacy, this one’s worth the listen.
