Clayne Hawley’s (he/him) approach to personal training centers around the goals and capacities of individual clients. He believes movement should be empowering, therapeutic, and motivating.

Clayne designs programs drawing from several different traditions, including strength training (with free weights like barbells and kettlebells and/or bodyweight exercises), metabolic conditioning (like High-Intensity Interval Training and circuit training), and embodiment and mobility practices. He believes these tools can contribute to improving how one feels in their body.

The language and culture of the fitness industry can be laden with shame-based ideas and thought patterns that encourage us to feel disconnected from our bodies and ourselves. Yet the demands and design of our daily lives ask that we reinforce habits of holding or moving ourselves in ways that can cause pain and discomfort, leaving us with very few choices if we want to both work toward self-acceptance while expanding our capacity for movement.

Several years ago, Clayne suffered from a lower back injury. Because of this, he thought he wouldn’t be able to continue to train in the ways he had learned to love. He knows very well how discouraging chronic pain can be and how challenging and loaded the process of embodiment can feel. Clayne believes in the power of movement to nurture and regulate our emotional and psychological wellbeing and he incorporates this element into his personal training. Through that journey he has learned that healing happens concurrently with self-discovery, body-awareness, and the careful re-entry into the world of movement.
