Building Capable, Durable, and Resilient Humans

A system for high-performing professionals who want a lean, strong, sustainable physique — without sacrificing work, travel, or social life

My role isn't to motivate you — it's to make the correct decisions inevitable. You show up. The system handles the rest.

My Story

A 15+ Year Fitness Journey, 7+ Years Coaching Professionals

I don't coach motivation. I design systems that remove friction.

My name is Ian Pierce. My fitness journey spans over 15 years—from high school football to collegiate athletics—and 7+ years coaching professionals. Health and wellness gave me clarity, focus, and work ethic. That foundation became non-negotiable.

After college, I spent years in the New York City real estate market, but I realized fitness was the real transformation tool. It was a force multiplier—improving every aspect of my clients' lives on a deeper level than I ever could before.

How I Coach

Two Ways to Work With Me

Whether you want hands-on guidance in the gym or a fully remote system that travels with you — there's a path built for your life.

In-Person Coaching

I come to your home or building gym throughout the East Bay. Every session includes hands-on form correction, real-time feedback, and undivided attention.

Between sessions, you're fully supported with custom programming, nutrition tracking, and direct messaging through the app. Month-to-month — no long-term contract.

Starting at $499/mo

1x, 2x, or 3x per week — built around your schedule

12-Week Pierce Protocol

This is the deepest level of coaching I offer. A fully immersive, 12-week transformation that goes far beyond what happens in the gym — weekly 1:1 video calls, custom programming delivered to your phone, precision nutrition, and real accountability.

We don't just train. We break down your habits, rebuild your relationship with food, audit your schedule, and design a system that works around your life — not the other way around. This is the program where everything changes.

$3,997 — 12 Weeks, Weekly 1:1 Calls Included

Travel-proof. Fully remote. Deeper than in-person.

The Pierce Protocol exists so others don't have to figure this out themselves.

Before & After

From Survival Mode to a Lean, Strong, Sustainable Physique

I tried everything—but nothing stuck because none of it matched the pressure, pace, and demands of my actual life. The Pierce Protocol delivers results in 12 weeks.

What Happens When You Live the System

This isn't theory. This is what happens when structure meets consistency.

Strength Rebuilt

From burnout and inconsistency to strength that shows up in every area of life. The system rebuilds confidence, energy, and focus inside and outside the gym.

Confidence Earned

The physique is just a reflection of alignment. When you master your habits, the mirror shows evidence, not validation.

Discipline Integrated

Structure becomes second nature. Every rep reinforces your identity. Proof that precision and consistency create freedom.

Freedom in Motion

Energy, focus, and freedom reclaimed. This is what it feels like when your system works for you, not against you.

Strength. Discipline. Confidence. Freedom.
