George Menelaou

Hi, I’m George, founder of Team Prime Gym – and a coach dedicated to building strength that lasts.

With over 10 years of coaching experience, I’ve worked across body transformations, bodybuilding, Olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting, helping people unlock their potential through structured training, precision, and consistency. My philosophy is simple – training and nutrition go hand in hand, and true progress is built on balance, not shortcuts.

As a certified Bioprint practitioner, I take a detailed, science-based approach to body composition and performance. Each program is tailored around the individuals goals – focusing on technique mastery, injury prevention, and sustainable results that improve both body and mind.

I don’t believe in the “8-week shred” mindset. I believe in building long-term health, discipline, and performance that carry over into every part of life. Whether your goal is to transform your physique, improve strength, or refine your lifting technique – I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

At Team Prime Gym, every session has intent, every lift builds foundation, and every member is part of a community driven by hard work, knowledge, and respect for the craft of training.
