4 Stroke Gym

Keith Queen (Owner/Head Coach) CERTIFICATIONS: Precision Nutrition Level 1 CrossFit Level 1 USA Weightlifting Level 1 Crossfit Strongman Coach National Academy of Sports Medicine CPT (Currently in Progress) 4+ Years Personal Training Experience Growing up, Keith played any sport he could get involved with excelling at Basketball, Lacrosse, and Tennis. As a Junior in High School, he underwent sports ending back surgery. Over the course of the next 10 years, he became more sedentary with work and found himself gaining nearly 60 lbs of unwanted weight. He found fitness and nutrition in 2009 and committed to losing the weight and discovering that inner athlete again. After losing the weight Keith was selected to appear on NBC’s “American Ninja Warrior” obstacle course show and Beachbody’s “P90X3” Workout DVD’s. Since that time his mission has been to help introduce others to fitness and nutrition so they can achieve the “best versions of themselves” and live an optimal lifestyle of happiness and health. After training friends and work colleagues in his garage gym, Keith began obtaining the necessary certifications to better help serve his community. It was here that his love of helping others and building a fitness community began, and the spark that ignited 4 Stroke Gym was lit. 4 Stroke Gym is a hub of fitness and lifestyle culture located in Raleigh, NC.

Because Engineering Performance & Community is what we do! I am passionate about helping people transform into the best versions of themselves. Why? Because I have done it first hand and understand how life changing it can be. I lost 60 lbs and overcame back pain to be a contestant on NBC's American Ninja Warrior and a cast member in the P90X 3 Fitness DVDs. At 4 Stroke Gym, fitness is not my job. It is my Lifestyle. I train, eat, recover, and recreate in a way that will maximize my genetics because I want to be a better father, husband, athlete and human being.

Let's talk about where you want to go and what has not worked in the past. From there, I can dive into an arsenal of workouts to build a plan that best suits YOU. Whether that is High Intensity Intervals, Strength Training, Bodyweight Training, Olympic Lifting, or General Physical Preparedness I would love to create a safe, effective, and varied program that is fun and delivers on your goal.
