Hammer & Axe Athletes
Real runners.
Real results.
From first comebacks to marathon PRs — hear from athletes who've trained 1-on-1 with HAX coaches.
Being coached by HAX reignited my passion for running after being away from the sport for nearly seven years. I improved my marathon time by over five minutes and had a huge PR at the New York City Marathon. Connor handles every aspect of my training with experience and adaptability, keeping me consistent and healthy even when life gets hectic. I trust him 100% to push me when I need it.
Drew helped me navigate a ton and shake the “rust” off with some injury recovery and prevention training. As a busy professional who ran competitively in high school but took a hiatus, it’s been awesome working closely with someone as competitive and understanding as Drew.
Working with Reed has given me great peace of mind as well as confidence in my ability. Although it has only been a short time, I feel like I am gaining fitness and confidence in my running ability daily — especially during the hardest training times of the year!
Within 7 months of working with Anthony I had a new PR in every distance I raced while managing my injury. I’m more confident than I’ve ever been as a runner thanks to him. He prioritized my health first and built my racing fitness around that.
Working with Emily completely revolutionized what I was doing. She helped me understand all the details you just don’t think about on your own. I ended up running a 2:54 marathon PR and felt great crossing the line. She’s really helped me become a better runner.
Working with Coach Joey has probably been one of the biggest turning points in my running career. He keeps me patient, grounded, and reminds me that everything takes time. I’ve stayed healthy too — something I really struggled with before.
Coach Austen developed me to work on the finer details as a runner, with patience and resilience. He really gave me the one-on-one coaching I needed, helped me get out of injury, and was extremely kind throughout. I can’t thank him enough for molding me into the runner I am today.
Savannah is such an awesome coach. She deeply cares about her athletes and their progression. I improved a lot in my races and was fitter than ever. She’s the best!
Anthony’s coaching is all about balance — pushing me to chase goals while keeping injury prevention first. The weekly video calls were a highlight; he walks through each workout and explains what it’s building. His unlimited text support meant I always had guidance when I needed it most.
