Getting the call from their head of sponsorship and showing interest in working with me was a huge moment in my career. Kearney is the first Strongman to be signed to represent the company. GymShark is a well-known fitness company that has sponsored bodybuilders in the past. “Right now, I am fortunate enough to be sponsored/supported by some of the biggest companies in the fitness industry: GymShark, Animal Pak (supplements), Ziggys Naturals CBD, SBD apparel, ESC Sounds (headphones), and Certified Piedmontese Beef,” he explained.

Kearney and his husband Joey recently moved to the Pacific Northwest right outside of Seattle, where took a job as the Director of Sports Rehab at a sports medicine clinic owned by the chiropractor of the Seattle Seahawks. Along with work, I am also currently writing two books (a children’s book, and an informational Strongman book), I am working on a documentary, and still run my online coaching business where I coach strength athletes all over the world. “While I am back to working full time, my current job allows me the flexibility to still pursue my strongman career to the fullest while also having the stability of a more traditional career as well. Kearney also is working on writing two books while balancing out his work career. He was featured on the massively-popular “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast in January of 2020, which he said “propelled my social media platforms to new highs as well as put me more in the public eye as an LGBTQ+ advocate and role model.” “Since leaving Williston in 2019, I have had the opportunity to really push my strongman career to a new level,” Kearney explained. Since his time at Williston in 2019, Rob has been busy with powerlifting as well as being a public presence for the LGBTQ+ community. Former Athletic Trainer turned Strongman Rob Kearney has been making a name for himself since his time working at Williston.
