How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Each client is capable of something different. I constantly assess, give feedback, and apply scientific principles to help them achieve optimal levels of fitness.
I use Functional Range Conditioning principles to assess joint mobility and health. FRC is designed to teach people to control the end range of their joints, expand the range, and create a new more supple, resilient body that is strong in every conceivable angle.
I also coach strength and fitness according to my clients goals using many different methodologies. I specialize in kettlebells and use a new technology called the kBox 4 that you only typically see with professional sports teams or large training centers. It provides variable resistance and allows each person to move according to how much power, mobility, speed, and strength they put into the machine. Check it out on my instagram @hayden_fcstrong
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
This is a rather silly question. There are literally endless ways to teach movement and fitness to achieve the ultimate goal of having the body of your dreams. The secret is to educate yourself or find a coach/trainer that never stops learning and seeks knowledge in things that they do not understand. It is imperative that you are committed to a healthy lifestyle but there is no blueprint for success. Try hard, possibly fail, and get back up again.
What do you love most about your job?
I get to teach people how to use their bodies in amazing ways. I believe everyone is an athlete and deserves the right to never have to say no to doing something fun with their body. I am inspired by my clients with Parkinson's and MS that tackle each session with joy and passion for changing their condition. I am inspired by my athletes. They teach me more about fitness and coaching than they know. I observe people changing their lives for the better everyday and they tend to think I helped them achieve their dreams.
What inspired you to start your own business?
This is my passion. I was a teacher and coach for five years. One day asked my students to write about their passion and realized I was no longer pursuing mine. I can reach more people using my unique skill set to inspire and create a better life. I genuinely love helping people. It is my purpose and I never feel like I am working when I read, train, or write about fitness.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am infinitely motivated to improve my life and the life of others through movement, strength, and conditioning. I am well educated and well versed in my field with excellent connections in physical therapy and holistic medicine to refer my clients to.
I've worked with clients of all ages and have built lifetime friendships with each one. I love being part of a team and will do anything I can to help you. If I don't know then I will refer out to others who do. This industry is constantly changing and moving forward so I love sharing my knowledge with everyone.
I will motivate you to control what you can control and grow mentally, physically, and emotionally. Physical fitness has so many far reaching benefits that will change your life in positive ways so you can positively affect your environment and the people you encounter every day.
This summer I will become a TPI Level 1&2 golf training specialist (June) and StrongFirst Level 1&2 KettleBell instructor (September).
