Hamish has also worked with O'Neal Hampton from NBC's "The Biggest Loser" and has also had the unique opportunity to work with the Reverend Jesse Jackson in his career, as a mentor and advisor for the Reverend's physical well-being.

Hamish's passion for health and fitness extends beyond professional athletes and celebrities, to those struggling with obesity. His gift to instill knowledge for healthier living, even for those who can't always afford a trainer, inspires him to take on pro-bono clients who desperately need and desire his help. With Hamish's unique training style, which includes football and basketball drills, boxing techniques, and military workouts, his clients never get bored in their pursuit of a healthier and fit body, which has people seeking him out from across the nation.
