Head Strength Coach, Berlin Location | Hunter Moyer
Hunter is a proud alumnus of Salisbury University, where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Athletic Coaching. He is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
Originally from Clayton, Delaware, Hunter’s passion for athletics and competition began at a young age. He was a multi-sport athlete, competing in football and wrestling for over a decade. During his high school career, he was a member of five state championship teams across both sports and earned All-State honors four times. His success at the high school level led him to continue competing at the collegiate level.
In 2021, while completing his studies at Salisbury, Hunter joined The Athlete Academy as an intern. His dedication and skill quickly elevated him to a full-time strength and conditioning coach. He later took the lead in establishing The Athlete Academy’s Berlin facility, where he now serves as the Head Strength Coach and Director of Operations.
Beyond his work in the weight room, Hunter brings valuable experience coaching youth sports—particularly football and wrestling—further strengthening his ability to develop athletes both physically and mentally. He always knew he wanted to work with athletes and children, having grown up watching his father coach Pop Warner football and his mother teach at the local elementary and intermediate schools in Clayton.
“When I look back on the people who have had the greatest positive impact on my life, I often think of a few coaches who were in my corner—and still are—since I was a young child, and all of the tools they gave me to win at the game of life. If there’s anything I aspire to achieve, it’s to impact others the same way those gentlemen impacted me.” – Hunter Moyer
