Fred Hahn: Expert on Fitness for Children
Fred has been a strength training professional for over 20 years and has worked in many of NYC's leading health clubs over the years. He observed the need for safe and serious trainers who produced results, and that is precisely why he created Serious Strength. After years of seeing the positive results that low carb eating and strength training had on his clients, Fred became interested in how strength training and low carb eating might help ‘cure’ adolescent obesity and diabetes – a problem that has reached epidemic proportions.
After researching the issue he started a ‘Mighty Tykes and Teens program’ at his studio, Serious Strength in Manhattan. The results were jaw dropping. So positive were the outcomes that he wrote a book on the subject, Strong Kids, Healthy Kids.
Fred began developing the Slow Burn system when he worked as a physical therapy aide at the Hospital for Joint Diseases, Sports Medicine Center. In 1994, along with one of New York’s leading orthopedic surgeons, Fred co-founded a private physical therapy clinic located in New York Methodist Hospital. As Director of clinical exercise, he ran the clinic until 1996.
After nearly 10 years of continuous refinements and application, in June of 1998 Fred Hahn founded Serious Strength, a personal Slow Burn training center in NYC. His clients include CEO’s of some of the country’s largest corporations, famous actors, writers, journalists TV personalities, moms, dads and children.
In an effort to provide the best nutritional guidance possible for his clients, Fred initiated a partnership with the authors of Protein Power, Drs. Michael and Mary Dan Eades. Together they authored The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution (Jan. 2003, Random House).
Fred has appeared on NBC’s The Today Show, CNN’s The Biz, WABC Morning Show, NBC Live at Five, Fox Five News and more. He has been interviewed by the New York Times and the Washington Post and has spoken on radio shows around the country, including National Public Radio and WFAN in New York City.
Fred has lectured on exercise at Princeton University, Chelsea Piers, Hospital for Joint Diseases, Mt. Sinai Hospital as well as abroad. He is a former senior staff writer for Women’s Basketball Magazine and has had articles published in numerous fitness publications.
