How did you get started teaching?
Coach Fred “The Hammer” Foster is a successful fitness professional, author, seminar leader, corporate trainer, keynote speaker, football coach and host of The Extreme Health Radio Show on NewsTalk 1450 WOL AM having helped thousands of people improve their health and wellbeing for three decades.
Coach Fred grew up in New York City and graduated from Xavier High School where he was a four sport athlete and rose to the rank of captain in the JROTC Program. As a senior, he was a stalwart on a football team that rebounded from two consecutive winless seasons to win the Catholic High School Football League of Metropolitan New York Division II Championship and moved on to play the public school league champion in the Metro Bowl. After the season, he received All-League and All-City honors and was awarded a football scholarship to the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. While at Miami, he earned the nickname “The Hammer” for his aggressive play at the strong safety position and again participated in the rebirth of a football program, as the Hurricanes played in two bowl games, were nationally ranked at end of the season three times and rose from perennial doormat to the very top of the college football world. Finally in his senior year, they won their final eleven games and secured the school’s first national championship with a thrilling 31-30 victory over the University of Nebraska in the 1984 Orange Bowl.
Since his college days, Coach Fred has remained an active competitor. He has completed over one hundred road races including five Marine Corps Marathons and 1995 Boston Marathon.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
A student needs to understand that the most import word in the phrase "PERSONAL TRAINER" is the word "PERSONAL". Beyond fitness coaching and nutritional advice, you want someone who connects with from the heart and not just from the head. Someone who understands that while you as client may or may not love working out nevertheless your trainer is someone you want to love having at your side on your journey to achieving your goals.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Am I READY to invest time, effort and money to improve my health and wellbeing?
What is the BENEFIT to me if I were to invest time, effort and money to improve my health and wellbeing?
What is the COST am I paying for NOT investing my time, effort and money to improve my health and wellbeing?
