We welcome Kyle Sheridan to this episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk Podcast!

 

Born and raised in Webster, NY, Kyle Sheridan has built a name for himself in the strength world through pure grit and community building. He’s the co-owner of Legends 24/7 Gym in Webster and runs his own coaching business, The Crew (formerly Sheridan Strength Crew), helping lifters push their limits together.

 

A former sprinter and track captain at Webster Thomas High School, Kyle’s love for lifting began after high school when he traded the stage as a guitarist in his rock band Falling Forward for the platform. Starting with natural bodybuilding, he quickly shifted to powerlifting in 2013, where he connected with icons like Rheta West, Bob Merkh, Paul O’Neid, and the late Paul Childress. With their guidance, he smashed his goals—deadlifting 800 and totaling 2,000 pounds at 242 in wraps by 2017.

 

In 2023, under Paul Childress’ coaching, Kyle tackled multiply lifting, squatting 900 and totaling 2,150 at 242—just 14 weeks after stepping back into competition. Now, he’s chasing a 1,000-pound squat in Paul’s honor.

In 2022, when Kyle and his business partner Dave Heisinger suddenly lost their first gym space, they opened Legends in just 3.5 weeks—proving their dedication to keeping a community alive. The gym quickly outgrew its first spot, moving to a larger location in May 2024. Legends is now home to local USPA meets and a hub for lifters of all levels in the Rochester area.

 

When he’s not coaching or growing Legends, Kyle works full time as a security supervisor at Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. His mission is to bridge the gap between raw and multiply lifting, build Rochester’s strength community, and show lifters that anything is possible when you commit.
