Lionel Stoxstell II
ISSA Certified · Strength & Conditioning Specialist · Powerlifting Instructor · Nutritionist
“Before you know it, you'll be there.”
Born and raised in Las Vegas. Competed in powerlifting. Recovered from alcohol dependency through discipline and faith. Built Teleport Strength to show others that transformation is possible. No excuses, just direction.
From the streets of Las Vegas to the platform.
Coach Lionel's story isn't polished, and that's exactly what makes it powerful. Born and raised in Las Vegas, he left at 18 chasing a dream in skateboarding, riding for Pharmacy Boardshop in Southern California and building something real through persistence and networking.
When skateboarding's chapter closed, he went to work with his hands, spending 20 years in the construction and HVAC industry, including work as a Chiller Technician. Somewhere in those years, alcohol became a crutch. By 2022, the consequences caught up.
What saved him wasn't a program or a prescription. It was a barbell. In January 2023, Lionel found powerlifting. The structure, the goal-setting, the constant pursuit of more replaced the need for alcohol one rep at a time. Before he knew it, he was years in: sober, stronger, and on a mission.
Teleport Strength exists because of that journey. Not to sell a product, but to prove a point: with direction, anyone can transform their life.

Coach Lionel competes.
He practices what he preaches
Coach Lionel doesn't just program for others. He competes himself. Every plan he writes comes from lived experience on the platform.
3 years. Zero background.
He picked up a barbell with no athletic training history at 37. In 3 years, he went from beginner to certified instructor and competitive powerlifter.
Programming is his foundation
