Halcyon Strength

Athlete: Michael Wise
Coach: Colten Nall

Michael and I used to work together in person but switched to online coaching in March of 2023.
-
Michael's Primary Goal when we started last March was to reach the 1,000 pound club amongst bench press, back squat, deadlift and overhead press.
-
When I say "the 1,000 pound club", this means a sum of his 1 rep maximums of all of these 4 lifts.
-
Slide 3 represents what his 1 rep maximum was for each lift during our 3 assessments up to this point.
-
Slide 4 represents what his total volume was amongst those lifts during these same 3 assessments.
-
It took 9 months, but goal one was accomplished!
-
We are currently working towards his second goal of bench pressing 225 pounds for 1 rep. -
More to come!

Athlete: Jenna Roach
Coach: Colten Nall

Jenna and I worked together for 6 months starting back in March of 2022 up until September of 2022.

Jenna’s primary goal was to simply slim down over the summer and she did just that!

Here’s what she accomplished:

Starting Weight: 151.9 lbs
Ending Weight: 143.1 lbs

Starting BFM: 46.03 lbs
Ending BFM: 37.74 lbs

Starting BF%: 30.3
Ending BF%: 26.3

Down ⬇️ 8.29 pounds of BODY FAT
Down ⬇️ 4.0% of body fat

So we had both visual changes and changes to the scale (the latter being least important). All of this while maintaining her lean mass.

Now I know this may not seem like a lot of results in 6 months, but remember, THE SLOWER THE RESULTS THE BETTER. With the results coming in slowly, this gives Jenna a much greater chance that she will keep this weight off for the long term opposed to gaining it back.

With the creation of this new page, I just want to take a moment to introduce myself and tell you about my back ground.

Most of you probably know me, but my name is Colten Nall and I am from Indianapolis, Indiana. I am a retired personal trainer turned online strength and hypertrophy coach. I am the head coach of Halcyon Strength.

I started personal training in July of 2019 for a small box gym in south eastern Indianapolis called Anytime Fitness/Results 1. After getting certified through ACE in January of 2020, I began working at a different (larger) box gym in north eastern Indianapolis called ‘Life Time Fitness’. I started there in February of 2020 up until my departure in August of 2022.

Rewind to April 9th of 2021, on this day, I officially started my own online hypertrophy and strength platform under the name ‘CN Fitness’ which was rebranded to ‘Halcyon Strength’ in December of 2022. I started this business with only 1 online client at the time!

Furthermore, as I stated earlier, I am certified through ACE with a few additional certifications as well, here’s the list of those and some additional experience:

Education:
- Manchester University - Exercise Science - 2015-2017 (degree unfinished)
-IUPUI - Exercise Science - 2017-2019 (degree unfinished)

Employment:
-Anytime Fitness/Results 1 - 07/19-01/20

I won’t make this post too long because to be honest, I’d be surprised if you’ve made it this far! But if you have any questions what so ever with what we have to offer, feel free to send us a DM! Our services will be added to the page in the near future.

Thank you and welcome!
