THANKS

We would like to thank Clay Walker of The University of Georgia football program. His knowledge of strength and conditioning have been invaluable. Working in conjunction with Adam Singer, these two have taken S&C to new levels at The HardCore Gym. We would like to thank Chris Haueter for his coaching and teaching in the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Additional thanks go out to Roberto Traven for believing in Adam and Rory enough to award them both their Black Belts in BJJ.

Last but certainly not least; thanks go out to Matt Thornton and his Straight Blast Gym for putting us on the path we travel today. Although we have found our own "Way", Matt played no small part in getting us started on the road to "aliveness". Thanks Matt for waking us up!

The HardCore Gym is proud to represent American Top Team in MMA and Roberto Traven in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. These affiliations make The HardCore Gym one of the top training facilities on the East coast
