Nick Hair is one of the best trainers and humans I have ever met. His passion for his calling is second to none and you won't find a nicer, kinder person behind eyes with such fire. Nick is preparing for the Marines and we talk about the detail in the preparation process. We challenge some "traditional" training that tends to leave potential candidates more broken than healthy and prepared.

In this Episode, we cover:

• Nick's athletic background and how it guided him to become a Trainer
• Kinstretch and the Functional Range Systems training methodology and how it has changed the way he approaches training himself and his clients
• Why Nick is pursuing the Marines and his strong familial tie to it
• His ambitions for the future of military fitness and helping future candidates be better prepared
• What "better prepared" looks like regarding strength and the conditioning aspects
• Progress vs. just getting sweaty and tired
• and much more!

Part 2 will be coming soon with Nick! Stay tuned!

You can find Nick at the Alliance Fitness Center in Reading, PA, or at Next Play Sports in Auburn, PA. If you have any questions or want to train with Nick, please reach out to him via the AFC facility email: [email protected]

For my first guest episode I am super happy to have on Matt Ulawski.

Matt and I connected over instagram and through the Functional Range Systems education. One of the things that I love about FRS, and my coaching journey, is the people I meet and friends I make. I have truly been blessed to have met and stayed in touch with people like Matt who are among the most brilliant and progressive minds of our time. What strikes me hardest though, as you will come to find out, is how human these individuals are.  They are just like you and I. And they are some of the most genuine people I have ever known.

In this episode we discuss:

• What Matt does for his profession
• His "WHY", the most important foundation for anyone's career
• The important relationship between physical and mental health
• The Functional Range Systems training system and philosophy
• What FRS has done for us and the bumps in the road we have encountered
• The evolution of our own training style and philosophy
• Something he wished the fitness consumers would better understand
• Advice for the upcoming Coach and fitness professional
• And a interesting concept that fitness professionals are humans too...

You can get ahold of Matt through instagram at @mindset4movement and keep an eye out for big things coming from him!
