WHAT CAN GYM R.A.T. COACHING DO FOR YOU?
Hey — I’m Theron Merrick. (Pronounced Thay-ron.)
I’m a husband, a father of three, a snowboard junkie… and the founder of Gym R.A.T. Coaching LLC.
But more importantly?
I’m a regular-ass guy who lost 93 lbs in 9 months — and kept it off.
I know what it’s like to look in the mirror and not recognize the man staring back. To feel broken. Tired. Frustrated that nothing’s working — even though you’re trying your ass off.
That’s why I built GYM R.A.T. Coaching:
To help everyday dads like you build muscle, lose fat, move pain-free, and finally feel like the strong, capable leader your family needs.
This isn’t about starving, suffering, or sacrificing your life.
It’s about learning how to play the long game — with smart systems, simple habits, and science-backed coaching that actually works.
Ready to leave "average" in the dust?
Good.
Because I’m here to help you reclaim your body, your confidence, and your life — without giving up time with your family to do it.
👉 Join me, and let’s build something you’re proud of.

Charles
"My name is Charles. I started with Theron in November of 2021 at 290lbs, as of May 2022 I weigh 240lbs. I've consistently lost weight week after week. Theron taught me the tools of diet and exercise combined. I'm the strongest I've ever been and look forward to staying strong and getting leaner with Theron and Gym R.A.T. Coaching!"
Kieth
"I was 238 pounds and did not have the stamina to complete log runs or hikes. I loved that Coach Theron pushed me and continued to modify my training so that I was consistently making gains. I am now 216 pounds. For my 49th birthday, I completed a half marathon and spent fourteen days in the backcountry elk hunting. Through it all, I felt better than I could have ever imagined."

Aubrie
"I was somewhat a beginner to lifting and was kind of bouncy around with different training programs and not really making the progress I was looking for. It made me feel stuck and I kind of lost motivation because I was seeing other people my age making far more progress than I was. I was excited to be able to get advice and training from someone who had personally gone through a huge transformation. I am stronger and my body feels so much better. I have lifted weight I could only dream of before and I can feel myself progressing every day. I feel more confident and comfortable. I have also learned how to better fuel my body to reach my goals. Following a training program and a macro tracker has taught me discipline and kept my motivation up. It’s not just a hobby to me anymore, but a lifestyle that I truly enjoy."
