Haley Strachan – Personal Trainer
Certified Personal Trainer – Hi! I’m Haley, a certified personal trainer who has been training in the industry for the last 5 years.Growing up, I was always active and loved challenging myself to try new sports with hopes to excel at everything I tried. I was a gymnast for 10 years, danced competitively for 6 years and played softball for 16 years, with some overlap of course. Ultimately, my love for softball won out and that is what I chose to stick with, getting the opportunity to play at the NCAA collegiate level. I have a BS in exercise science and wellness from the University of Minnesota and love learning new things to challenge my clients to be the strongest mentally and physically I fell in love with training when I started specifically training for my sport at a private training facility in Scottsdale called FitLife when I was 12, and really equate that to my success with softball, despite developing an auto immune condition around that same time. The auto immune condition I hated so much as a 12 year old, I now thank God for everyday as it has instilled the strong work ethic I have and mentality to overcome adversity. I was asked to be a trainer at FitLife shortly after graduating which really brought my fitness journey full circle for me. The place I was so excited to train at 2x a week I got to work at with some of the very same clients I had trained next to for years.I have a passion for preventative medicine and building a foundation of working out as a lifestyle after wanting to be a physical therapist for years but was turned off by the “reactive medicine” approach where you only go to get treatment once you are hurt. I am a firm believer if you do the right mechanics in the gym and build a strong foundation, most common injuries and ailments can be prevented. I love helping clients work through ailments and issues, usually post physical therapy, to learn how strong they can be and how much better than can feel even after surgery or a major injury. I hope to help my clients gain the knowledge to be able to live a healthy lifestyle and feel confident in the gym, even if they aren’t training one on one with me.I am super happy to be at SMTF Scottsdale and can’t wait to help whoever I can.

Steve Wolf – Nutritionist and Personal Trainer
Hi there! My name is Steve Wolf, owner of Wolf Pack Fitness LLC.
My credentials are:
* NCCPT certified personal trainer
* Associates degree in nutrition/dietetics
* 5x men’s physique competitor
* Trained in NeuXtec interactive neuromuscular stimulation (INS) using the NxPro
* 10 years of lifting experience
* 6 years of personal training experience
My fitness journey began when I was 24 when by the grace of God I overcame a four year long opioid addiction. I had never before been interested in weight lifting or exercise but with my new lease on life and a solid reason to change I was ready. One evening about two weeks after getting clean I randomly felt a strong urge to exercise. I picked up an old dusty set of 8lb blue dumbbells, watched as many online tutorials as I could and got to it. Soon after that I realized that 8lb weights weren’t gonna cut it and joined a friend to lift at his apartment’s gym. I put in the time there until I gained the confidence to get my first membership at LA Fitness. I continued lifting until I’d built enough muscle to compete in my first of many NPC physique shows. My first show was a huge blessing that taught me the immense importance of nutrition. Shortly after, I earned my certification as a personal trainer through NCCPT and began training friends as a side hustle. I eventually quit my corporate job and became an official trainer at Mountainside Fitness while working on my degree in nutrition. Not long after that I joined the team at 5 Star Fitness Avondale where I learned how to train large groups as well as honing my skills in a more private setting. In 2019 I launched Wolf Pack Fitness LLC and began working out of a private training facility in north Phoenix. In 2022 I purchased an NxPro by NeuX to take my training to the next level and to greatly assist in injury rehabilitation with my clients. I am so excited to be taking my business to Self Made Training Facility in Scottsdale where I am confident I can give my clients the best experience possible. Fitness didn’t save my life, only Jesus Christ deserves that glory, but fitness has certainly enriched my life more than I could have ever imagined. It is my mission to give that same gift to you.
