Joel St. Cyr
Strength & Conditioning Coach
First season at NU: 1991
Alma mater: Springfield '89

Northeastern’s strength and conditioning program operates under the supervision of Joel St. Cyr, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, C.S.C.S., and unofficial guru of body sculpting at the university. The Millis, Mass., native was hired as NU’s first-ever strength coach 13 years ago and has quickly molded the varsity athletes into the best shape of their lives.

St. Cyr has done extensive work at Clemson University and with the New England Patriots. While with the Patriots, St. Cyr worked as the team’s assistant strength and conditioning coach, supervising professional athletes and their weightlifting routines while also assisting in the area of testing in both mini-camp and training camp workouts.

In 1989, the Patriots and Super Bowl champion New York Giants pooled their resources, and St. Cyr got a chance to work with noted Giants strength coach John Parker.

Since coming to Northeastern, St. Cyr has developed comprehensive workouts for all 19 varsity squads and has become a ubiquitous presence in NU’s newly revamped varsity weightroom.

St. Cyr carries an infectious philosophy on weight training and conditioning that professes the maximization of physical capacities. Also, he has devised individual training manuals on a team-by-team basis to allow athletes to train independently. His enthusiastic approach in the weightroom has convinced many athletes to accelerate their conditioning efforts.

A 1989 graduate of Springfield College, he played one season of football before suffering a severe back injury that sidelined him permanently. He received his bachelor of science degree from Springfield in 1989. St. Cyr and his wife, Jennifer, reside in Millis.
