Hercules Nutrition & Training

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.

The flagship

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.

I 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.
Julie TeagueHercules coaching client
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!
Chad ThompsonVerified 5-star Google review
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.
Steven KnellerVerified 5-star Google review
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.
Brandon LarsenVerified 5-star Google review
Coaching has been killer. I've gotten 35lbs more muscle and really strong. I got leaner as I made the gains too.
Mike KinseyHercules coaching client
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!!!
Fiji WintrodeVerified 5-star Google review
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.
Becky MolargikHercules coaching client
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.
Dillon WilliamsonVerified 5-star Google review
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.
Karen DawsonHercules coaching client
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!
Connor WesternHercules coaching client
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.
Kimberly DunkelVerified 5-star Google review
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.
Janet HagerHercules coaching client
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.
Bryn MalagonVerified 5-star Google review
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!
Charles HarterVerified 5-star Google review
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.
Andrew TuggleHercules coaching client
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 GrangeHercules coaching client
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.
Victoria RogersVerified 5-star Google review
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!
Sophie VorndranHercules coaching client
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!
Tyler DericksonHercules coaching client
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.
Hayley AlexanderVerified 5-star Google review
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.
Diego ArevaloHercules coaching client
During our work together, implementing the right dietary guidelines I was able to control my glucose levels, I got stronger.
David de LeonHercules coaching client
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.
Rob PatrickVerified 5-star Google review
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!
Macie HerrHercules coaching client
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.
Nancy RothHercules coaching client
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.
Miranda ZimmermanVerified 5-star Google review
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.
Brett FellerHercules coaching client
Coach Carter finally helped me build muscle after years of effort. Really gave me the direction and advice I needed.
Sam HoodVerified 5-star Google review
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!
Kyla McCormickHercules coaching client
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.
Bailey SuttonVerified 5-star Google review
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.
Ryan MolargikHercules coaching client
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.
Peter WinkeljohnHercules coaching client
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
