Kyle “Coach K-Mac” McGough is the founder of Hardbody Personal Training in Plain City, Ohio. He has spent over 15 years studying strength training, sports performance, and coaching systems. Before opening Hardbody, Kyle worked in college strength and conditioning at schools including Ohio State, UCLA, Wagner College, and William Paterson University He now uses that experience to help adults, athletes, and families train with more structure, confidence, and purpose.
