Hamer was foundational in my fitness journey. Not only did he challenge how I looked at training the body, he pushed me to also examine how I challenge my mind as well. Hamer has a gift of giving away knowledge and pushing your capacity to be curious - I’m one of many that has become a better human from it.

Hamer has 20 years of Division 1 strength and conditioning experience and currently works at Union Fitness. Within those 20 years Todd was the Director of Strength and Conditioning at the George Washington University where he oversaw all 27 teams and a staff of 6 strength coaches. Before his time at GW, Hamer spent time at Robert Morris, George Mason, The Citadel, Pitt, Penn State, as well as UNC-Chapel Hill. Todd has presented on the topic of training at more than 50 professional clinics and seminars. In addition, Hamer has been adjunct faculty at three universities and guest lectured on topics ranging from music, history, linguistics, as well as biological sciences. Hamer was nominated as the 2017 NSCA Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year and was also awarded the Presidential Distinguished Achievement Award during his time at Robert Morris. Todd has been published over 100 times, you can find him in elitefts, Muscle and Fitness, Men’s Fitness, as well as other publications.

In addition to his work, Hamer has competed in powerlifting for two decades and has completed the Rachel Carson hike tens times. Hamer is also an avid cyclist and has ridden his bicycle from Pittsburgh to Washington DC ten times. You can connect with Hamer on IG and Facebook. Excited to share this conversation with y’all.
