Hello! My name is Kevin Serrano and founded Breakthrough Strength with a mission to guide people in reaching their strength and fitness goals and establish a platform to provide a quality powerlifting coaching service.

I began my fitness journey with a goal to lose weigh as I grew up overweight as a child. I discovered strength training and powerlifting as I underwent my weight loss journey, and decided to compete in my first meet after I achieved my goal bodyweight. I competed in my first meet in 2019 at the age of 16 and quickly fell in love with powerlifting competing in meets every year ever since.

My time in powerlifting as an athlete has allowed me to explore other areas in the sport and find ways to get involved. I began by volunteering at local meets, spotting and loading, helping setup and tear down, and I became a USA Powerlifting State Referee in 2022. Later in 2023 I directed my first USAPL Meet in Chicago in my home gym Lockout Fitness.

It was also in this year that I became more committed to powerlifting coaching, after gaining experience coaching friends and learning under various coaches I have worked with. I seek to build a community of lifters looking to Break Through Their Limits and share the knowledge and guidance to help them become the strongest versions on themselves.
