Rebecca Rouse is a strength & conditioning coach, entrepreneur, and competitive weightlifter. After 12 years of gymnastics in her youth, she found kettlebell training in 2014 before shifting to Olympic lifting in 2018. She is the 2025 Texas state weightlifting champion and is currently ranked 3rd nationally in the 64kg weight class. At the 2024 National Championships, she posted a 206kg total (92kg snatch + 114kg clean & jerk).
Rebecca and her husband (an active duty U.S. Marine) co-founded an online fitness platform, MCHN Strength, and their non-profit, the Semper Stronger Foundation. They support combat veterans and first responders injured in the line of duty, helping them heal through physical movement and strength training.
Rebecca Rouse burst onto the Grid League scene in 2024 as a rookie strength specialist for the Tampa Bay Brigade. Despite being new to the sport, she quickly proved herself as one of the league’s top performers.
In 2014, Rouse discovered kettlebell training and earned the Iron Maiden title through StrongFirst, becoming just the 16th woman worldwide to achieve it. She completed her SFG Level II certification in 2019, then turned to Olympic weightlifting in 2018.
She earned dual bachelor’s degrees from the University of Maryland, graduating Magna Cum Laude, then spent several years with Equinox, where she was named Fitness Manager of the Year in 2016.
