Halman Hunte

I was born in Barbados, West Indies, raised in Baltimore, and joined the US Marine Corps (USMC/Marines) at the age of 18. During my very enjoyable seven years of service, I gained experience working with various individuals from all backgrounds helping them to reach their potential. While in the Marines, I also obtained a BS degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing from National University.

Upon leaving the Marines, I started a career in sales in the pharmaceutical industry working for Bristol Myers. After working as a pharmaceutical sales rep for seven years I made a career change to pursue a career in health and fitness. I’ve been a personal trainer and running coach for the last 20 years. I am certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). I specialize in training for Cardiovascular Endurance, Functional Strength, and High Intensity Interval Training. I believe this is the most effective way to help my clients reach their fitness goals. The fitness coaching component of my training programs helps clients overcome obstacles and find solutions to achieving their goals.

Full body functional movements throughout the workout are one of the keys to the success of my clients. These exercises are high-intensity movements/exercises that incorporate many large muscle groups at the same time. Through the use of super set bodyweight exercises (think TRX) and using balance/stability devices (Bosu & foam pads) to create an unstable environment to provide a greater challenge for the muscles. Working the muscles in this way also engages the core, maximizing muscular endurance. After turning 30, it is important to add strength training to your exercise routine to build & maintain strong, lean muscles and to strengthen your bones. Strength training will help prevent osteoporosis along with other health-related diseases. A strong, muscular, and skeletal system will help maintain balance, posture, alignment, and efficient movement patterns.
