Hey, I'm Hayes!

nice to meet you.

I’m from Charlotte, NC and graduated from College of Charleston in 2003. #GoCougs

I was always involved in sports growing up. I completed 2 IRONKIDS triathlons by the time I was 9 years old and grew up playing AAU and high school basketball.  After college, I spent time living in Dallas, TX and Atlanta, GA.  From 2003-2012 I was in multi-family real estate and ran a large company’s corporate wellness program.

In 2010, I moved back to Charleston, SC, had twin girls in 2012 and another little girl in 2014.

I began my fitness journey after having kids. I signed up for my first Spartan race in 2019 and realized I found something I loved. I am a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) with National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), a Spartan Elite racer and a Spartan SGX Coach (Charleston’s only).  I believe in showing up consistently and being the hardest worker in the room.

“Small disciplines repeated with consistency everyday lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.” – John C. Maxwell.

I spend most of my time these days coaching and creating unique programming for runners, obstacle course racers and athletes who want to get STRONGER + FASTER. I love teaching and guiding my 3 girls in the world of life. I also spend time training and writing my own programming for competition in elite Spartan races.
