I have loved working with Darren. My daughter trained with him several years ago up at Utah State, which that is how we met. I owned a CrossFit gym for about 10 years and in that time my hips got out of sorts which caused my IT band to act up. It has been that way now for 2 years. I've tried loads of different options. I went to two different orthopedic doctors, one gave me a shot and made my knee worse and I couldnt walk for a week! Darren actually came and trained at my gym for a short stint. I knew he did customizable programming. After the doctors and trying to do it on my own to scale workouts I finally reached out! Darren wrote a program just for me to help my hips and help my knee. I've done 3 months of programming (with some inconsistency on my part due to family issues) BUT! I have noticed a huge difference. My knee is much better, I've worked on my movement, I've learned to retrain my squats to use hips more and I've been able to work with Darren one on one. He coaches me through video submission and it has helped me a ton. If you are looking for more guidance on how to fix any issues you are having, START HERE FIRST! not all doctors know how to help. Darren has been amazing. I recommend him and his programming. Give it a go. You have nothing to lose but pain! I know. There were days I couldnt even walk my knee was so painful. This is the first relief I have felt in 2 years and I am lifting again which I have missed immensely! =] THANK YOU DARREN More...

Hansen athletics is hands down the way to go!!! I personally worked with coach Darren himself and he was absolutely incredible! He pushes you to your full potential and doesn’t let you give up. He is very knowledgeable about what he is doing and makes each workout a good one. He always has a smile on his face and does best at what he loves to do. I would highly recommend Hansen athletics if you are training for a sport or just wanting to get stronger in general. Hansen athletics focuses on more than just loosing weight and getting fit. Hansen athletics helps build self confidence, motivation, and teaches you the proper technique. More...

Having a work out to do everyday can get hard to come up with after going to the gym for a couple of years. When I started workin with Hansen Athletics I was able to get out of my plateau and take working out to the next level. It’s affordable, the app I use is awesome and no bad things to say about it.

I am in my third week of the HansenAthletics Lifestyle training program. The workouts fit perfectly with my schedule, the equipment I have access to, and my goals. I appreciate the user-friendly app utilized by HansenAthletics for posting workouts and communicating with coaches. The Lifestyle program is really just what I needed at this point in my training. I was previously working out regularly, but wasn't seeing much progress. I was feeling a little stuck and not sure what to do to switch things up. This program is simple and easy to follow, but definitely challenging and effective. I'm burning nearly twice as many calories per workout as I was before and I'm already seeing some progress in my lifts. If I lived in Pocatello, I'd be training at the HansenAthletics gym. I visited recently and was able to get a workout in there with Darren and had a great experience. Darren's enthusiasm and passion for what he does is contagious. He is also credible, and I trust that the workouts he's writing for me are well-thought-out and safe. I highly recommend training with him in-person if you're in the Pocatello area or training with him remotely via one of his online training teams if you're not in the area. More...

My experience at Hansen Athletics has been the best! I had been struggling with neck issues and basically quit doing much of anything because of the discomfort. Needless to say, I let myself get pretty out of shape and my neck wasn’t improving. With my Doctors ok and direction, I started working out with Darren to improve my overall strength, specifically my neck, shoulders, back, etc. I was pretty nervous in the beginning, but Darren’s willingness to individualize my program and take it slow, has got me back on the right track. I am getting stronger and feeling so much better. Darren’s functional strength and conditioning workouts have been just what I needed. I would recommend Hansen Athletics in a heartbeat! More...

I’ve worked with several other coaches in the past and none have compared with coach Hansen. His programming is thoughtful and goal oriented. He constantly makes adjustments to the workouts and looks for feedback and actually incorporates the feedback into your plan. 10/10 would recommend to others More...

I have been working out with Darren since almost the beginning, both in person and remotely. I have seen the amount of time and effort he has put in to not only be the most qualified, but the most knowledgeable strength/athletic coach out there. He not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. He sets the example for all the athletes he coaches. Having been training remotely for the past 2.5 years, I’ve learned that Darren spends 24 hours a day thinking about his athletes. I can text him at any time of day with questions or videos and he will respond immediately with what I need to hear. He pushes you to be the best that YOU can be, which is something we can all achieve. You won’t be disappointed. More...

I've known Darren for about 4 years now. I started off as a wannabe crossfitter with no lifting background. I kept doing metcons and lifting to try to get stronger but I wasn't making any progress. Darren finally convinced me to switch to just Olympic weightlifting for a while. So I did, and within a year I was standing on the podium at local meets and competing at national meets. I raised my personal bests by 40 lbs in a year. For you girls that think lifting weights will make you bulky, I went down a size in shirts and I fill out my jeans better :) I still weigh the same as I did when I first started. In other words, I'm smaller and stronger! Aside from that Darren is an excellent coach. He was able to learn about who I am as an athlete and coach me based on that. Which is an accomplishment in itself because of how stubborn I am. Darren is stern but can be extremely compassionate and encouraging in extremely stressful situations. One moment in particular I am grateful for is I was on the verge of a mental breakdown while on deck during the snatch. I was just not performing, and my body was hurting. I tried to hide my emotions but he saw right through me. He gave me words of encouragement and told me to try my best in the snatch and forget about it as soon as I walk off the platform. Then he changed coaching approaches and we ended up hitting a 5lb personal best in the clean and jerk. His energy is contagious and I am proud to call him a coach and friend. He's nothing shy of himself and it's hard to find genuine people like that now-a-days. Darren is extremely passionate and knowledgeable and can help you achieve your goals. He definitely eliminates the guess work. More...
