ABOUT US


Welcome to ErgFit / Pinnacle Strength
Pinnacle Strength Inc. was founded in 2002 by Brad Cardoza, a Division I track and field athlete at Syracuse University and UMass Amherst, where he still holds a 26-year-old school record in the hammer throw. As a professional lightweight strongman, Brad earned his pro card, placed second at America’s Strongest Man, and represented the U.S. at the 2005 World Strongman Championships in China. With over 20 years of coaching experience, Brad has built Pinnacle Strength on a foundation of athletic excellence and proven training methods.
