What is Lumen Athletics?

At Lumen Athletics we provide a comprehensive strength & conditioning
program for all high school, and junior high school age athletes. Our
approach to strength and conditioning is holistic: mind and body. Our
services are geared towards aerobic athletes and anaerobic athletes, team sport athletes as well as individual sport athletes. Come one, come all.
The essence of the Lumen Athletics program is to not only build a bigger,
stronger, faster, tougher, smarter athlete, but an athlete that has the
mental skills to consistently perform at a high level. An athlete that has
learned, and now understands the importance of failure, and how failure,
or rather the athlete’s response to failure plays a significant role in their
overall growth as an athlete. At the end of the day training is preparation
and preparation is about performance. We play to win, and oftentimes,
failure accompanies us on our way to success.
To take a phrase from Dr. Mark Bubbs book “Peak”, Lumen Athletic’s “drive
is to develop and promote the healthy athlete.”

Coach Markum, B.S., CSCS, CF-L2, BRM

Markum King, a former D1 athlete and drafted baseball player, is the owner and operator of Lumen Athletics. In 2005 Markum received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Kinesiology from San Jose State University. Markum is certified as a Strength & Conditioning Coach (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association; a Level 2 CrossFit Trainer, certified in the Barbell Rehab Method (BRM) and is certified in First Aid/AED through the American Heart Association.

In 2020 Markum started Lumen Athletics as a way to give back to athletes while working full-time for the city of Cheyenne. He embarked on this journey because he wanted to help athletes discover their untapped potential, set ambitious goals, and then work their butts off to achieve their goals.

In 2023 Markum left his full-time job, and with the support of his wife and a few steadfast friends, he launched himself into this awesome journey.
