⨠Wellness Wednesday: Meet the Coaches â¨
Say hello to one of our incredible coaches⌠Payden! đđĽł
Weâre so excited for you to get to know him a little better. Hereâs a message from Payden to our Align community. đđ
âHey, everybody! My name is Payden Dawson. I am from Missouri, and, like many others, moved here for flight school. I just loved it so much I decided to stay!
I have always had a passion for fitness, movement, and helping others stay active while achieving their goals. I worked as a collegiate strength and conditioning coach during college and have always wanted to get back into coaching. Thankfully, Align has provided me with the opportunity to do so!
On top of coaching at Align, I recently founded Arete Standard, a personal training and nutrition coaching business, where I help clients build sustainable habits and reach their goals.
When Iâm not teaching, you can find me working out, traveling, spending time at the beach, cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs, or hanging out with my fiancĂŠ and our two dogs.
My goal in every class is for you to leave feeling better than when you walked in. You can always expect a great workout and a fun, encouraging atmosphere that helps you build confidence, discipline, and strength, both inside and outside the studio.â
