Will Poehls

5 years of coaching experience
NASM CPT

Will grew up in Chandler, Arizona, but visited Montana often, where his Father is from. He attended The University of Montana and played football for the Griz before moving on to the NFL, where he spent six years playing for six different teams while training and learning from some of the best strength and conditioning coaches in the world. Will moved back to Montana in 2018 to start his family and officially retiring from the NFL in 2019. He now shares his knowledge and love of football by helping coach the local Manhattan High School football team.  Will also works full-time as a construction superintendent in Bozeman. 

Will began coaching group classes at a local gym in 2020, where he coached through 2022 before spending another year at a different local gym leading up to the start of DLD.

Will is passionate about every aspect of fitness from strength training, to conditioning that challenges people to push past their limits, to recovery and mobility work that helps the body move and feel better. He also has a strong focus on athletic performance, helping athletes run faster, jump higher, and move more efficiently.

Drawing from his years in the NFL and the wide range of training philosophies he experienced throughout his career, Will has developed a coaching style centered around meeting people where they are. Whether working with someone brand new to fitness or a seasoned athlete striving for the next level, his goal is always the same: help people discover what drives them and push them toward becoming the best version of themselves.
