John Bair is a Life Coach, Strength Coach, Nutrition Coach and founder/owner of Bair Knuckle Strength.

He runs a health and wellness studio in Fort Washington, PA, where, as one of his students explains; “He takes more of psychological approach to working out, and encourages people based on their abilities and needs”. He has chosen to devote his life to serving others through health and wellness, because he himself had to overcome a dark, painful, abusive upbringing, along with losing his 2 best friends by the age of 25. When life hits you hard and knocks you out, most people stay down, because they are afraid to get back up, or don’t have the tools to actually change. Too many folks live lives of quiet desperation, hoping things will just ‘get better’, without actually ‘addressing the elephant(s) in the room’, and usually end up right back on the road to nowhere. Having been ‘scorched by the fire of life’, John has come out on the other side and now offers ‘buckets of water’ to those still consumed by their own flames. He offers Group Classes and Semi-Private or Private Sessions locally, while also offering Online and Distance Coaching, to those who live further away. As a gift, John Bair would like to offer all the listeners of The Hammer Cast some courage to Change the Way their Life is done, by grabbing a FREE Digital copy of his book Rise, as mentioned in the episode: CLICK HERE – FREE BOOK

Now, before you go off and go about your day,

let me first ask: are you on my email list?

If not, what are you thinking, man/ma’am?!

My email list is where all my top-shelf, grade A info goes out on the daily – NOT on social media.

In my daily emails, I’ll show-and-tell my favorite tried-and-true methods for getting stronger, fitter, and healthier at home – no gym and no hour-long workouts required.

Plus, you’ll get access to all my programs, challenges, courses, guides, and other no BS materials to help you get stronger, fitter, and healthier the fastest and simplest way possible (though not easy – nothing worth doing will ever be easy)
