Hey everyone! I started training with Dane in 2008, and I was one of his first few clients. Last night, I had the incredible honor of being inducted into the Garage Strength Hall of Fame. To mark this moment, I wrote a speech that I’d love to share:

“It’s an honor to be here tonight. I’ll be the first to say I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it weren’t for Dane.

Before I met Dane, I had no real work ethic. I was driven by short-term goals, my anger, and lacked an understanding of what effort, discipline, and perseverance truly meant. I was a kid without a clear vision, a dreamer who didn’t have the mindset to reach the heights I hoped for. But from the moment I walked into Garage Strength, everything changed.

Dane doesn’t just coach athletes—he shapes individuals. He takes our raw, unrefined qualities—our impatience, anger, and doubt—and turns them into the foundation for something greater.

With his guidance, I learned how to channel my emotions into purpose, patience, and resilience. He taught me that life’s challenges aren’t something to fear but to embrace—one rep, one day, one lesson at a time. Through it all, Dane’s unwavering belief in me kept me moving forward, even when I was too immature to see what was possible.

I can still remember pestering Dane with questions like, “When am I going to throw farther? When am I going to hit those numbers? When am I going to bench 225?” “When am I gonna get bigger biceps?”Every time, his response was the same: “Trust the process.
Stick with me, and you’ll be a state champion.”

At the time, I couldn’t imagine what he was seeing in me. But, as the days passed, I began to realize success wasn’t about the immediate result—it was about the growth that came from every effort, every failure, and every small victory. Just as he promised, not only did I become a state champion, but I went on to become an All-American and I earned a full ride to college.

But Dane’s influence goes far beyond lifting numbers. Through the grind and setbacks, he instills in us the mindset that success isn’t just about what you can lift—it’s about the strength you build within yourself. It’s about knowing that nothing is impossible if you’re willing to do the work, even when the journey feels uncertain.

What Dane does for his athletes isn’t just training—it’s transformation. He doesn’t just make athletes; he makes people capable of facing the toughest challenges in life with confidence, grit, and purpose. The lessons he teaches us extend far beyond the gym. He showed me that greatness isn’t a destination—it’s a mindset you carry with you every day.

And for all of that, I owe him everything. He took a kid who didn’t know how to work and transformed him into someone who understands the power of persistence and the strength that comes from never giving up.

Dane, you’ve shaped me into the person I am today. You’ve taught me how to chase greatness, push beyond mediocrity, and—most importantly—to never settle. You’ve given me more than the ability to throw further or lift heavier—you’ve given me the mindset and confidence to take on whatever life throws at me.

So, thank you. Thank you for believing in me, for pushing me, for showing me what’s possible. It’s an honor to stand here today and share just a small piece of what you’ve given me.”

Garage Strength turned me into the man I am. Much love ❤️

I brought my daughter here from Las Vegas for general athletic training as well as improve my olympic lifts for a week. They have world class athletes, world class training, a supportive and competitive gym culture and a calm distractionless surrounding. I hope, I can continue to have her affiliated with this gym until she's making her own financial decisions. But for me definitely worth the airfare, car rental and rooms for the trip.

I recently purchased the technical analysis - olympic lifting. The turnaround for the service was super fast and the quality of the analysis was top notch. Very valuable to have another set of eyes on your lifts and a very unique service they offer!

Garage strength is the most amazing and powerful gyms I've ever been to. Before I started going I was only a decent thrower and wasn't lifting regularly. After just 1 month of coming I saw improvement everywhere. From my appearance, to how well I could spin in the circle. The trainers at Garage Strength are all great also. They push you to success and they make sure your on the right path with advice. You create a bond with each one as time goes on and you are made sure to feel comfortable with the family that Dane Miller and the whole staff created! I'm grateful for the support and friendships that I've made from Garage and anyone that is new or experienced to lifting should come check out Garage.

I purchased their sports Bible and weight lifting technique course and wrote a honest review regarding the course giving it 3 stars and they don’t even publish the review which I think is alittle shady for a company to do which is why I’m giving them only 1 star on Google. All I said was while I think their info and content are good, their weight lifting techniques course is not worth the $99 they charge since most of the info and more can be found on their you tube Channel for free. So why pay for something that has less info in it than their free content. Very disappointed in this place which I thought would be more honest.

From what I've seen on Dane's YouTube channel, he sure knows his stuff. If you have the chance to train with him and his team, take it.

Ive watched this gym grow from a pole building in danes parents yard to the machine that it is today turning out beast after beast. Ive been a member at a lot of different gyms in Pennsylvania and this by far is the best. Not only will you get stronger physically and mentally there is sort of a mentorship that comes along with training there and you will grow as a person as well.
They have all the knowledge and all the right equipment to turn you into a freak in your respective sport or in life. All you have to do is show up and put in the work and believe me they will hold you accountable and youll want to keep coming back for more.

This place is amazing! I started training there once a week on January 2, and am now going twice a week. I turn 68 in two days, and have never felt better in my life. It isn’t easy, but it’s definitely worth it.

If you want results, this is your place. If you want to be pushed to your limit and realize your limit is further than you ever realized, this is your place. If you want to get swole, your place. You don't have to be a beast to train here, you just have to want to become one both mentally and physically. You'll be sore, but you'll become more.
