Thomas Hadley

With the inspiration of his older brother, Thomas began weight training at age 11. He is now 37. From the very start, he read the books, watched the videos and practiced what he read and preached. He even began training his friends at the age of 13. This is important to note because personal training is not a hobby he picked up 5, 10 or even 15 years ago. He has 26 years of knowledge and experience under his belt. Besides winning the Florida High School State Weightlifting Championship his senior year in high school and having received four different national certifications, over the last 26 years he has studied everything from exercise program design, coaching and influence, biomechanics, biochemistry, exercise physiology, functional anatomy, sports injuries, testing and evaluation, and nutrition… just to name a few. Again, fitness training is not something he decided to do a few years ago or that he thought would be a nice “change” in his career. This is why he is so interested in providing online knowledge resources to not only his clients, but also for those who simply want to learn—free of charge. He is passionate about this information.

Although he works with and has worked with many populations (high school kids, high level athletes, pre-teens and senior citizens) one of the things that sets him apart from many of his competitors is specialization. He specializes in helping 40-55 year old women lose 10 pounds in 30 days. Most of his time is spent focusing on the specific functional movement (and nutritional) needs of these clients. Functional movement is important for anyone who wants to move with ease and without pain in his or her favorite activities of daily living (playing with the kids or playing recreational sports). Most of the clients he has trained over the last several years fall into this age group. There are special needs in this age range that must be considered and accounted for in designing a safe and effective training programs (and nutrition plans). There are menopausal issues (pre-, and peri-), chronic headaches, adrenal exhaustion, post-breast cancer, osteoporosis, and fibromyalgia, just to name a few. The goal of the Higher Level Training System is to begin improving functional movement to the point that you are able to participate in any activity of your liking, while losing the weight through SIMPLE and effective nutritional guidance.

Perhaps the most important thing that sets him apart is his 2-part business philosophy:

Part  1: There is a growing number of “Personal Trainer Business Coaches” out there who are preying on personal trainers who want to make fast money—“six-figures in no time.” They teach, “If your prices are high, potential clients will think you provide better service. If your prices are too low, they will think you are ‘no good.’” Well, Thomas does not subscribe to that philosophy. Most trainers are overpriced and are insensitive to your needs in this current economy. People are still losing jobs and homes, but most personal trainers’ prices REMAIN HIGH. He has made the decision to lower the barrier of entry (cost) into his services during this economic downturn and to focus on helping more people for less money for one reason: If he helps you, you will help him. This is a win-win for both of you.

Part 2: These “Business Coaches” teach their personal trainers to lock clients into long-term contracts so they are guaranteed “steady income” over a longer period of time. Thomas’ philosophy is this: Get the results in a shorter amount of time so you are not spending 1¢ more than you need to. No long-term contracts. Just commit to the Higher Level Training System. You will get your results and get you on with your life! Then you serve as a walking billboard for Higher Level Training Corp. The “steady income” comes from satisfied clients spreading the word.

So if you are looking for RESULTS (not a pricey trainer to feed your ego) and a quality training experience that is better than the typical over-priced Orange County personal training service, you have just found it—at your doorstep!
