The people behind the field notes

Hfpn is produced by a small editorial team that spends its time on the professional side of fitness: how trainers program, communicate, price, refer and build careers that last longer than a trend cycle.

Our articles are published under one byline so readers get a consistent voice and a consistent set of standards. That byline is a disclosed pen name. We'd rather tell you that plainly than invent a personal history for a writer who doesn't exist as an individual.

Every article answers the same questions before it goes up: what does the client need, what can a coach appropriately provide, what evidence supports the recommendation, and where does professional scope end. Want to pitch a guest post or flag an error? Use the contact page.
