WELCOME
Hill Pursuit is more than your average health and fitness platform. We have a passion for Faith, Family, and Fitness. I know there are bumps in the road. Believe me, I've experienced plenty. But as a coach, I hope that through sharing my own experiences, I can help you become more prepared for YOUR battleground of choice...life, training, competition, and more. At Hill Pursuit, we look at “climbing the hill” as a privilege; a rare and unique mentality to constantly improve daily. We prepare ourselves for the battle of life through personal experience and professional evidence-based programming so that we can master any task at hand, ranging from endurance sports, Olympic and powerlifting, and hunting in the backwoods. Join us, and pursue the climb.

TESTIMONIALS
I have always loved strength training and it was always a part of my endurance training, but when I started to get more into triathlon and endurance sports I knew I needed something that was more specific for my needs and goals! The strength training that Hill Pursuit provides me was just what I needed to take things up a notch! I have noticed not only improvements in my strength, but also my swim, bike and run! I used to HATE running hills, now they are becoming easier and I actually look forward to them when they are on my run! Having someone who understands the training demands of a triathlete and can create a strength program to complement those demands is a GAME CHANGER!!

I know Dr. Gerhart from my Masters program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (Go Hawks!). I took a class related to Strength and Conditioning and loved everything about it. Dr. Gerhart has a very unique coaching philosophy. He worked with me one-on-one and gave me my best chance to achieve my goals. He played a vital role in helping me complete my first marathon! He also helped me focus on mental training as well. He guided me so well with coaching and mental preparation to run one of the biggest marathons in the world. I am looking forward to running more half and full marathons with his guidance!

I needed help with both strength training and cardio programming, as well as evaluating and tweaking my form. Coach Hayden is knowledgeable, sincere and accessible. He created a program that was in line with my goals. Coach Hayden was available to answer questions and give input. He also provided the encouragement I needed! Highly recommend!
