Is this Laval 2026 series for you?
These classes are designed for professional strength coaches, personal trainers, and therapists who:
- Feel they’re not the obvious choice yet when clients are looking for a trainer
- Are stuck at a “good” level and want elite-level knowledge in strength, anatomy, hormones, and performance
- Want tools to handle complex cases: pain, fat loss, digestion, thyroid, hormones, athletes with plateaus
- Want to charge more, deliver more, and be certain they can back it up
- Looking to update their knowledge with the latest research and clinical experience
What you’ll be able to do after these 8 classes
By the end of the 17 days, you’ll have tools that most coaches never learn in their entire career:

- Individualize training and nutrition with neurotransmitter and metabolic profiles
- Increase strength & mobility in seconds using manual techniques & GuaSha
- Use Metabolic Balance concepts to radically change body composition and health

Anatomy for Trainers
Anatomy is the foundation of a successful coaching career. Without it, every assessment, exercise choice, and cue is guesswork.
When you enroll in any Laval 2026 class or package, you’ll get free access to my online course Anatomy for Trainers (valued at $149).
Inside you’ll find:
- Detailed muscular anatomy by region and function
- Nerve–muscle connections and practical implications
- Exercise and dynamic anatomy demonstrations
- Self-paced modules, quizzes, and repeatable lessons
This bonus alone can change how you see the body. When combined with in-person classes, it becomes a powerful edge over other coaches in your area.
Learn from coaches trusted
by elite and Olympic athletes
I’m Carlos Castro,
World-class Strength Coach and founder of Strength Community. I’ve produced gold, silver, and bronze medalists on World championships, Pan-American Games, and national championships in 10 different sports.
In these Laval classes, I share the exact systems, assessments, and protocols I use – in a clear, practical way that lets you apply them immediately with your clients and athletes.
Coaches who have attended my classes and applied these methods have already produced Olympic and World championship medalists.
Dr. Sonja Pettersen
The doctor for the pros will take you on a fantastic journey to gain a deep, genuine understanding of a person’s physiology through various blood markers and the course of action to guide your client or athlete toward optimal health and performance.
Pierre Roy
You’ll also learn from legendary coach Pierre Roy in the Developing Power for Sports class, bringing decades of Olympic lifting and sports performance experience. Coach Roy is a specialist in teaching and coaching proper execution of Olympic lifts and their variations and has developed methods for strength and power gains.
This is what my students think about the benefits my classes offer them:
My name is Aaron. I already produced a bronze medalist in the Paris Olympics and a gold medalist in the International Championship. I train American football players who win the European League of Football. Some of them get selected for the combined NFL and CFL. In this class, I learned a lot of stuff that will add to my training programs. A lot of different exercise selection, a lot of different kinds of predictions. I can definitely do a better job now.
Aaron García
Class was amazing as always. This is not my first time with Carlos, and that's a sign that this is amazing. I keep coming back. I really like Carlos's engineering background. I'm a nerd myself, and so I really like the analytical approach of breaking it down from A to Z, and really going through every step. Rather than jumping about all over the place, you can kind of see the whole picture and then really pull it together, which means your understanding is so much better than if it's just random bits of facts that don't really fit together.
Matt Smith
"I traveled to Sweden to learn the art of structural assessment, neurotransmitter program design, and hormonal balance from Carlos Castro. If you have an opportunity to attend any of his seminars, I highly recommend you to do so."
Martín Beranek (STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT)
“This weekend I learned more than in 3 years at the university”
Nick (SCIENCE OF PROGRAM DESIGN)
"Neurotransmitter-Based Program Design was a game changer for me since I work with professional and amateur Athletes in individual and team sports, men and women, old and young."
Gregor Sobocán (NEUROTRANSMITTER-BASED PROGRAM DESIGN)
“That was a career-changing class! My clients were able to lose as much as 16kg in 8 weeks by fixing their health”
Alena Belikova (METABOLIC BALANCE)
“...you are genuinely the best coach and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from you. Whenever I use the Guasha or do the pressure points, clients always ask where I learned this from.? I always mention “the best coach in the world Carlos Castro coaches gold medal Olympic athletes.”
Brendon Kawondera (INSTANT STRENGTH & MOBILITY
