Once there, he took full advantage of learning from other strength coaches that all have different areas of expertise.

ACE Certified Personal Trainer
B.S. Kinesiology and Health
B.S. Nutritional Science

SPECIALTY AREAS:

Behavior Change

Creating impactful and lasting routines

PHILOSOPHY ON FITNESS & LIFE:

Since Haley was in early high school, she was always fascinated by the human body: all that it can and can’t do, what it’s performance abilities are and aren’t for each person, and so much more. This drove her mission to pursue an education and career in this field. What also fed her passion was having the capability to help someone reach a goal they never thought possible. Whether it’s breaking that qualifying time in a marathon, finally getting the basics of a proper squat form down, or establishing that habit into a daily routine, she's seen the effect of someone who believes and now knows that they can reach goals. That knowledge has a power to change the course of someone’s life and others around them, in her opinion, and the idea of that potential is what keeps her coming back again and again to help the next person.
