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 and more importantly The R.A.T. Pyramid of Success:
To help transform overwhelmed dads like you into capable, confident leaders by aligning who they are with how they live. Fat loss becomes automatic, strength becomes identity, and optimization becomes earned.

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."

Melanie

Serious thank you to Theron Merrick for helping me start my gym and nutrition training in April/May and helping me to my ultimate goal of weight loss and building muscle! Started in person training and was a complete beginner not knowing much on gym equipment. Ive hit my weightloss goal shedding a total of 70lbs in the year and am off to my new challenge of getting stronger and more conditioned as well as getting leaner! The amount of self confidence I've gained is awesome. Thank you! Never thought Id get this far!
