After being in the fitness industry for 14 years, Hawkins decided to focus on working with seniors because he felt as though seniors were being neglected in the fitness community. Balance • Strength • Core • Post Rehabilitation • Muscular Endurance • Stabilization

In 1986 Hawkins was in the best shape of his life until he was diagnosed with a virus that put him in the hospital for three months. This virus was called Guillain Barre Syndrome which causes paralysis. Hawkins nervous system was nearly destroyed. He was forced to re-educate his peripheral nervous system in order to regain the ability to perform daily activities. Hawkins recovered from Guillain Barre Syndrome and now educates seniors on how to stay healthy and fit. He counsels them on nutrition, designs exercise programs to improve balance while building muscle and motivates his clients to reach their fitness goals. The services offered by Hawkins are unique. His workout sessions are hosted in the home of his clients which allow them to work out comfortably within their own environment. Working in the home atmosphere provides clients with the advantage of improving their daily functional issues. For example, one client experienced back problems therefore taking food out of the oven was painful. Hawkins assessed the situation and developed a program that helped her retrain her body to make the process less painful and more functional. Hawkins wants to empower his clients with the keys to fitness and nutrition to help them understand the importance of a well-balanced exercise program. By learning the proper mechanics of strength training, the appropriate intensity levels of aerobic training and the value of flexibility, his clients can safely achieve a higher level of fitness.
