Derick Deal is the owner of Darwinian Fitness and a transformational coach. Prior to running his own practice, Derick was on the coaching team for Precision Nutrition – the industry leader in high-performance nutrition. Derick has also co-owned a strength & conditioning training center in addition to having consulted for various businesses and government organizations on how to lead a healthy, happy, & balanced lifestyle. Derick’s clients include c-suite executives, Olympians, academics, & high-functioning professionals. At heart, Derick is an adventurer, spiritual seeker, & philosopher – earning his degree in philosophy from the University of Virginia.

Derick is also a thought-leader within the fitness industry. Darwinian fitness starts with the premise that most individuals – and traditional fitness industry establishments (from Yoga to Crossfit) – don’t properly define what fitness is. What does a successful fitness approach look like? How should we approach fitness activities from the perspective that as human beings, we depend on mental, emotional, & social skills as much as physical ones? As Darwin observed, Fitness in a species is its ability to adapt and thrive in response to the environment it finds itself in. Disruptive technologies, social media, & globalization are just some of the forces that make for a rapidly changing environment. Given this, how is our approach to self-development and self-care keeping up with making us more resilient, healthy, & adaptable to an ever-changing environment? Shouldn’t the process by which we enhance our ability to adapt and thrive in such an environment be at the core of what it means to be fit?

Derick is currently based in the Washington D.C. area and in addition to his one-on-one coaching practice, leads seminars, workshops, & powerful experiences to model Darwinian Fitness. His approach centers on creating arenas for the cultivation of mindsets, skillsets, & adaptations across the areas of mental fitness, social fitness, & emotional fitness. These mental, social, and emotional arenas are layered on top of a deep re-connection and respect for the physical body. As such, the Darwinian fitness model approaches Physical fitness through helping people rediscover the wisdom of their bodies, the joy of movement, & vibrant sense of living in-tune with one’s own body.

I’m committed to knowing that when I leave this world that my tank was empty, because I gave ALL that I had and then some in the name of LOVE.

It’s the answer to everything and it’s so obvious that some of us miss it. So I’m here as a messenger to remind us all that when we AMPLIFY our LOVE we automatically amplify our LIVES.”

Anthony Trucks is a proud husband and father of 3, former NFL player, American Ninja Warrior, gym owner, international speaker, author, six figure consultant, and a guy who genuinely loves to improve peoples lives by teaching them HOW to go from surviving to thriving when you Trust Your Hustle.

Anthony was handed away by his mother at the age of 3. Together with his siblings, they would enter foster care system and spend the earliest years of their lives feeling less than human. He experienced physical and mental abuse, starvation, and torture. Before the age of 6, he was placed into a home where he would eventually be adopted 8 years later as the sole black person in a poor all white family.

Anthony’s life has been riddled with ups and downs from the start, and they haven’t slowed down three decades later. He had to sever his biological mother’s rights in person in court at 14 from the stand to get adopted, his foster brother almost died, his foster mom contracted an incurable disease called MS, he got arrested at 17 at gunpoint, found God, earned a college scholarship, found his biological father who didn’t know he existed at 19, had his first son in college at 20, three grandparents passed, one grandparent by suicide, he played in the NFL, and he was cut twice before ending his NFL career due to an injury.

Anthony has always been determined to win in life. He then opened a successful 6 figure gym that he almost lost multiple times, found out his dad DID know about him all those years when he told him at 29 before he passed, and came minutes from taking his own life after his high school sweetheart had a heart shattering affair after they had their second and third children; a set of twins that they almost lost before their birth.

For many people these life issues would leave them broken and unable to function in life, but for Anthony it was the opposite. He’ve fought HARD and come out successful on the other side.

After a decade of success in real estate, Marc Mawhinney went through business closure and challenges that would have caused most to give up.

How did he get back on track?

With the help of coaches!

After years of being a lone wolf and being proud of “going it alone,” he experienced the power of coaching first-hand, and it really made a difference. So when he was ready to go back into business, he knew that he wanted to be a coach. He wanted to help others like he'd been helped.

He dove in and became a coach, and discovered what every new coach learns when he gets into this business … it’s not easy! So when he finally got it rolling, he knew that he didn’t want other coaches to go through the same growing pains that he did.

So, Marc launched “Natural Born Coaches,”, a podcast to help coaches with their businesses. He has completed 500 episodes of the podcast over the last few years and talked with well over 1000 coaches every year (on-air and off-air).
