Outside The Rack #16 Todd Hamer, Union Fitness

“There’s so many ways to do it.”

What’s up everybody and welcome the 16th episode of Outside The Rack brought to you by Kinetic Performance the makers of Gymaware. In this show we are going to try to dive a little deeper into the minds of the top practitioners in the world of sport performance to learn a bit more about who they actually are and how they got to where they are at today. Today we are joined by the General Manager of Union Fitness Pittsburgh, Todd Hamer. Todd, thanks for being with us.

Before we start, who is Todd Hamer?

I’m a father, and a wanna be renaissance man.

1) Describe a learning situation that brought about an epiphany in your career

I want to be a strength coach, but I’m not willing to do what it takes to be a college coach.

2) If you could ask one questions and you know you would get the answer what would that be and why?

The beauty is the unknown, so not knowing the answer is why we keep digging. I don’t want the answers, I want to find them, because once you get the answer to that question you should have 10 more.

3) What’s your escape?

Meditating, playing music, and cycling.

We are hoping to provide the best possible content for strength coaches with each of our shows. If feel this could provide value for anyone else in the strength and conditioning field please feel free to share.
