Patrick Li

Pat was born in Maryland and grew up overseas in Asia. He played sports growing up year-round, consisting of tennis, soccer, and later primarily baseball. He was first introduced to strength training during high school offseason training, which later carried over and spurred a passion for strength sports.

 

He initially started in powerlifting in college and then made the switch to weightlifting, which he consistently competed in for eight years afterward. Pat has been coaching in some capacity at R3VIVE since the beginning, primarily serving as the barbell coach, but also providing one-on-one training and coaching the functional fitness classes as well.

 

His passion is to help people reach their fitness goals, whether they may be gym/training-specific or something outside of the gym. As for his own training, Pat enjoys the two classic lifts the most, but also enjoys any strength movements or strongman-style exercises that are challenging. Outside of the gym, he enjoys being outside, whether it’s going on a bike ride, playing golf, or tennis.
