Clayton was born and raised in a small, rural Indiana town. He studied at Indiana University for 2 years before enlisting in the United States Air Force. After separating, he started studying at Colorado State University, and has one semester remaining in his Bachelor’s degree. He has been coaching people in an official capacity for around five years now, and has been in love with fitness from the time he was 16 years old (his 16th birthday present from his parents was a gym membership). He loves all facets of fitness, but he is a little biased towards lifting heavy things, and the types of workouts that take you deep in the pain cave and show you what you’re actually made of. Listen as we talk about meat cereal, warming up, and priorities for how to stay motivated and set goals.
