Years coaching, founded 2013
Locally owned. Every Hercules coach was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Northern Indiana's largest coaching company of its kind.
Since 2013, Hercules has done one thing at full depth: 1-on-1 nutrition and fitness coaching. No franchises, no call centers, no templates sold at scale. Six coaches who know every client by name, plans built from your data instead of somebody else's, and check-ins every week until results are your normal. That is the whole model, and it is why the numbers above exist.
1-on-1 coaching. Everything handled.
One free consult matches you with your coach. Within 5 days your complete plan is in your hands, and from there your coach carries the thinking so you can carry the doing.
Custom nutrition plan
Built around foods you actually like, portioned to targets calculated for your body.
Custom training program
For your gym, your home setup, or bodyweight to start. Every level welcome.
Weekly check-ins
Your coach reviews your numbers every week and updates the plan as fast as you change.
Direct coach access
A message away when life throws you a curveball and the plan needs to bend.
The Hercules app
Your plan, your check-ins, and your progress in one place, on your phone.
Lab work integration
We read your blood work and build the plan around it, alongside your doctor.
Coaching starts at $155 per month. For comparison, two personal training sessions a week runs about $600.

The scale is only half the story. Tyler, John, Trevor, and Joey all added serious muscle while the pounds came off.
Your Photo Could Be NextThe photos change. The blood work changes more.
We run lab work in house, read every marker, and build plans around what your blood says. Bad labs are not a disqualifier here. Most of the time they are the starting line.
Medications our clients have come off, working with their doctors
Of clients with type 2 diabetes who are no longer diabetic
Of blood markers moved back into healthy range
Individual results vary. Medication changes are always made with a client's physician.

5.0212 Google reviewsI am a woman that is almost 50 and dieting is hard for me. Since I have been working with Derrek I have lost a total of 90 pounds in about 10 months!! He is a very positive person and keeps me face forward even though there's some days or weeks that I don't feel like going any further.
One of the best programs around! Max helped me overcome years and years of bad habits when it came to eating and health. Max got me from my largest weight 440lbs, to a solid 365. I have all the tools and resources to continue this journey and training alone! If you ever need the "push", choose Hercules Training!
Coach Kendra listens and adjusts according to what will suit you best. She will switch meals on your nutrition plan to help with cravings, keeping you on track. I'm down 35 pounds in three months and leaner than I've been in years. I'd recommend Hercules and Coach Kendra to anyone.
Josh is an outstanding coach and nutritionist. His meal plans never felt restrictive. In fact, I was eating more food than I ever had with previous coaches, and the meals actually tasted great. The bloodwork analysis was a game-changer. It gave him the data needed to dial everything in from the start.
Coaching has been killer. I've gotten 35lbs more muscle and really strong. I got leaner as I made the gains too.
Kendra is amazing! I worked with her just for 2 weeks and already lost 5 pounds! I've been wanting to get back in shape since I had my baby and she's helping me towards my goals! I would highly suggest going to Kendra!!!
After two appointments at the doctor's office where I was completely ignored and dismissed, I signed up with Derrek and saw an immediate difference. I noticed my energy levels change, and a reduction in the acid reflux that was one of the main reasons I had sought out a doctor.
I worked with Max for about 6 months. Even though he's primarily a bodybuilding coach, he adjusted his coaching style to fit my powerlifting needs and helped me dial in my diet and prep. With his guidance, I ended up winning my powerlifting competition.
My adult son took it upon himself to invest in my health. In about 1 month, I have successfully reduced my weight by 14 lbs. I feel more energetic and clear minded. He checks in with me throughout my week to keep me accountable in a way that is uplifting and very encouraging.
Working with Hercules has completely changed my life. I've put on 25lbs of muscle, got lean, and have a whole new outlook on life. More progress to be made!
I've struggled for years to lose weight and firm up. Never have I had the results and support I have had with Josh Kunkle. The meal plan and weight plan were both delicious and easy to follow and the weight I've lost is incredible and motivating. Josh was only a call away and very encouraging.
Working with Derrek has been such a life changer! I never thought I could be this skinny & strong so fast. My mental health hasn't been this good in a decade.
Derrek has completely changed the way I view food and how to eat to be healthy and regulate my blood sugar. I have struggled with low blood sugar issues my whole life. But not anymore! And I've lost weight and gained definition and am in the best shape of my adult life.
Before I decided to seek help I felt lost and too far from success. Luckily a friend of a friend introduced me to Coach Carter! He has transformed me into a new person!
Derrek is awesome to work with. I lost 30lbs while working with him. His plans are diverse and easy to stick to. He's definitely top in his field.
When I came to Derrek I could not wake up and go through the day without constant joint pain. Within the first 3 weeks I was completely pain free. I look, feel, and move better!
Josh was incredibly supportive throughout my weight loss journey. He stayed in touch each week, offering encouragement, updated meal plans, and clear next steps for the upcoming week. I especially appreciated the weekly phone calls, his consistent motivation truly helped me stay on track every step of the way.
Starting this program with Max was exactly what I needed. I am now in the best shape I've ever been in. I now have the best relationship with food and the gym and have never felt so good!
He helped create a diet plan, workout plan and helped me understand some blood work I would receive from doctors for my Crohn's Disease. It's been a great experience and I would recommend Hercules training and nutrition!
Kendra is an incredible personal trainer! She's not only a great motivator, but also someone who truly inspires you to push beyond your limits. I've accomplished more with her than I ever could on my own. If you're serious about getting results and want a trainer who genuinely cares, I highly recommend working with Kendra.
I was overweight and unhappy with how I looked and Derrek was there every step of the way to help me with not only training but also my diet and mental health. Derrek helped me lose an insane amount of fat and build muscle I've never been capable of before.
During our work together, implementing the right dietary guidelines I was able to control my glucose levels, I got stronger.
Carter is the real deal. He knows how to push you without making it overwhelming, and he takes the time to understand your goals and make a plan that actually works for you.
I always knew there were simple things I needed to change in my life in order to get healthy, but I didn't know HOW to do it. Hercules Training educated and guided me on how to crush my health goals, and I now have reinvigorated vitality!
There are no gimmicks with his training and the diet is composed of food you would normally have at home, no special pills, potions or food in envelopes. He is never judgmental and is always very encouraging. Derrek makes getting healthy a fun, reachable, goal.
Returning to exercise after some time was initially daunting for me, but Coach Kendra's guidance has significantly boosted my self-confidence and self-esteem.
Where do I begin, Derrek has helped me shift my life around. He gives the opportunity and the option for you to still maintain a social life but still being on a plan. He's helped shift my metabolism to where I have been able to drop weight at a good rate while gaining muscle.
Coach Carter finally helped me build muscle after years of effort. Really gave me the direction and advice I needed.
Josh is 1 million percent invested in the growth of his clients and client relationships. He always made sure I enjoyed the meal plan and if I wanted to change anything he was on it right away no worries! If you're ready to change your health and your life work with Josh!
SO thankful for my experience with Hercules! My coach helped me to achieve fitness goals I never thought possible. After 8 months with Hercules I am healthier, happier, and have the tools I need to live a changed lifestyle. Hercules is not trying to keep you on the hook for life with some kind of "secret". The quality of meal plans and workout is 10/10.
The knowledge you have access to is worth far more than the monthly fee. He cares more about helping you than you do, he has a passion for this.
I can honestly say this is the healthiest and best I've looked and felt in my life. The passion, knowledge and time these coaches put into their clients is unmatched. This is one of the best decisions I have made.
To Say these guys are incredible would be an understatement. Their knowledge of nutrition, the body, and how the mind plays all a part of the big picture is honestly inspiring. If you want a true advocate for your health and wellness. DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER
