Who we are

Cordell Grube — Founder of Cordell’s Lifting Club

At Cordell’s Lifting Club, we don’t just train— we elevate, refine, and transform. Built on a foundation of scientific precision, relentless dedication, and unparalleled expertise, this brand is designed for those who refuse mediocrity.

The Journey Of Strength & Resilience

Cordell’s path to elite training was anything but ordinary. A driven athlete with aspirations of playing in the NFL, his world was shifted when a devastating injury— tearing his ACL, MCL, and medial meniscus— brought his career to a abrupt halt. But where others saw an end, Cordell saw an opportunity. Instead of surrendering, he rebuilt himself from the ground up, relearning how to walk, training harder, and defying expectations with a record-breaking recovery.

This experience wasn’t just personal— it became the foundation of his training philosophy. Fueled by an unbreakable mindset and a passion for human performance, Cordell pursued his degree in Exercise Science from The Ohio State University, refining his understanding of strength, conditioning, and biomechanics.

The Birth of Cordell’s Lifting Club

Cordell’s Lifting Club was founded on the belief that if you can move, you can train—and that with the right strategy, you can achieve the impossible. This isn’t just personal training; it’s an elite coaching experience tailored for athletes, executives, and high performers who demand more.

At Cordell’s Lifting Club, clients don’t just go through workouts— they embark on a meticulously crafted journey towards physical excellence. Every training program is custom-designed, integrating advanced methodologies that blend strength, mobility, injury prevention, and peak conditioning

A Legacy in the Making

Cordell has made it a mission to push boundaries, redefine strength, and set a new standard in personal training. His own story is proof that setbacks are just set ups for a greater comeback. Now, he applies that same relentless mindset to his clients, helping them surpass their limitations, unlock peak performance, and achieve results they never saw possible.

This is more than training—it’s an exclusive experience for those who demand excellence.

Train Smarter. Perform Stronger. Redefine Excellence.
