About Sam
Sam Kramer, your online coach
I'm Sam, the coach behind Resistance Labs. I coach strength training and nutrition online for people across the US. I'm based in Carlsbad, California. Your program needs to work where you train, with the equipment and time you actually have.
My background
My kinesiology education and athletic background shape how I look at exercise, technique, and recovery. In coaching, I explain why an exercise is in your program and what we are looking for in your training log.
How I coach
I favor focused strength sessions, consistent exercises, and a record of your progress. High intensity training influences that approach. The amount of work and how hard you push each set still need to fit your experience and recovery.
Coaching runs through ABC Trainerize, with a custom plan, weekly check-ins, direct messaging, and video form reviews for training clients. Nutrition coaching adds targets and habits we can adjust around your routine.
What we decide together
- Which goals matter most and how we will measure them.
- What training fits your weekly schedule and equipment.
- Whether you want training, nutrition, or both.
- What needs to change when your schedule or progress changes.
Training and nutrition coaching do not replace diagnosis, rehabilitation, or medical nutrition therapy. If a concern falls outside coaching, we will discuss involving the appropriate qualified professional.
