After countless years of my own training combined with The 7 Pillars and working with Championship Programs, I have developed a multi modality training program that works in a symbiotic relationship between the mental, the physical, proper fueling and recuperation providing the athlete with the best possible gains. I have trained players at the top of their game including NFL and NCAA Div 1 athletes.
I thought I was in peak physical condition, but something seemed to be holding me back. I didn't eat bad, I hydrated, mineralized, took vitamins and supplements and ate my veggies, but I didn't treat my nutrition, sleep and gut health as a priority. In 2007, I had a Patent Foramen Ovale and it scared me and my family to death. It almost took me there too, but I wasn't ready. I had unfinished business. To tell my story and help as many people as possible. The irony here is I almost died in The Gym. Seriously! Lucky for me, I had a great medical team and one of the best cardiologists in the world, just ask him, to diagnose and fix my broken heart. I had a small procedure to connect the deviate septum in my heart and I was back to my old tricks. Working out, but not truly understanding the benefits of additional modalities like sleep, nutrition and recuperation on my Wellness. My physical heart was fixed, but I needed help with my spiritual heart and brain recovery. Still to this day, the search is never ending. Learning and questing for modalities to help me stay in the light, to be happy and get the most out of my time here. Technology and science are getting better and better, which are providing more answers on brain trauma and means to support and aid in brain recovery. Slowly but surely, true wellness started to reveal itself to me. Still to this day I am a searcher. My life is a series of trails and successes, learning and finding the truth. It's somewhere in between. If you are willing, I can help you.
The Grind is much more than a full service Wellness Center. We work with athletes, young and old, getting them to their next level. We work with businesses on creating a corporate wellness structure for their employees. We work on Stress Management, Anxiety, Depression and Mental Health and provide guidance on Weight Management. In addition, we provide assistance with addiction. We work with any individual creating a plan for their wellness journey.
For the past 30 years, I have been on a quest. A quest to find answers to questions and issues I had about my own wellness and subsequently sharing them with you. My struggles with my mental health and my lack of modalities to deal with it, I learned to approach wellness in a way that encompasses the mind, body and spirit to bring my entire being into homeostasis. Balancing my soul with my ego, my body's chemistry and being balanced with my energy, grounding me to the Earth's abundance of power.
My mission is to help you find and personalized your wellness. To be your best mental, physical and spiritual self. The disclaimer! If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Wellness is as specific as your thumb print and your health is human kind's most precious commodity. Without it, we have nothing. The first step is to start. Once you start, it's on!
Coaching champions in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Newport Beach and Lake Norman, North Carolina since the early 90's.

Broken Hope - Band Biography
Brought forth in 1988, Broken Hope was the brainchild of guitarist/chief-lyricist-songwriter, Jeremy Wagner. Though Jeremy was still attending High School, his passion and drive for bringing the band out of obscurity was apparent from the start.
In 1989 and 1990, Broken Hope recorded two demo tapes which landed them a deal with the underground label, Grind Core records. In 1991, Broken Hope spewed forth their debut album, Swamped In Gore, which subsequently launched the band out of the underground and into the mainstream.
Swamped In Gore was not only ahead of its time musically but it was also the first digitally-recorded death-metal album yet again showing the forward thinking of the then fledgling act.
By 1993, Broken Hope broke away from their first record label and quickly was immediately approached by Metal Blade Records. Broken Hope released four albums with Metal Blade Records: The Bowels of Repugnance, Repulsive Conception, Loathing, and the re-release of Swamped In Gore.
1995's Repulsive Conception, reached CMJ New Music Monthly's Metal Top 25 chart, as did the follow-up, 1997's Loathing.
The first four albums are stellar examples of the fury and sheer brutality possessed by Broken Hope, and is also the albums that etched Broken Hope place in death-metal history. The first decade for the band was filled with non-stop writing, touring, and constant visibility with each album.
Broken Hope produced and released their fifth album: 1999's, Grotesque Blessings. After North American and European Tours, BH founder-Jeremy Wagner-cleaned house and put Broken Hope into metal hibernation in 2002.
In 2007, Broken Hope original Loathing lineup sat down face-to-face to discuss reuniting and doing a world tour. Due to personal scheduling conflicts, the guys were unable to make anything happen after this special meeting.
On January 20, 2010, original Broken Hope vocalist Joe Ptacek committed suicide. He was only 37 years old. Before his death, Ptacek met with Jeremy Wagner and discussed the resurrection of Broken Hope. With Ptacek's death, Wagner took time off to reconsider their next moves. In 2012, Jeremy Wagner resurrected Broken Hope and vowed to make the band a full-time monster-forever. Broken Hope made their long awaited return to the realm of Death Metal on the highly successful Carnival of Death tour. The band's high-intensity COD live offerings received top-praise, and confirmed that not only was Broken Hope back, they were also more rabid than ever.
The band went on to perform at the 2013 editions of Extremefest (Germany) and Maryland Death Fest to stellar reviews which leads us to a new chapter in the annals of Broken Hope In 2013, Broken Hope put pen to paper and signed a worldwide deal with Century Media Records.
Their sixth album, Omen Of Disease, released in October 2013 release. Omen Of Disease opened with a big first week, hitting #2 most-added at US radio, nearly breaking into the top 10 at CMJ, and with the track "Womb Of Horrors" added as a Flavor Track at Music Choice. Omen Of Disease also dropped with nearly 1,100 copies sold in its first week of release.
Omen Of Disease is available via Century Media Records with Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder making a guest appearance on backing vocals for the track, "Rendered Into Lard," and Omen Of Disease also features the artwork and return of Broken Hope's former (and brilliant) album cover artist, Wes Benscoter (Slayer, Kreator).
Broken Hope has supported Omen Of Disease with non-stop touring over the last year-and-a-half with tours including Deicide, Immolation, Oceano and festival appearances at Brutal Assault, Neurotic Deathfest, Obscene Extreme, and more. Broken Hope recently overhauled their lineup with the addition of Matt Szlachta (ex-Chimaira) on lead-guitars, and bassist, Diego Soria (Disgorge).
Broken Hope finished their first-ever headlining tour across Europe last April (2015) and appeared at the Obscene Extreme Czech, and Montreal editions. In September 2015, Broken Hope released their first-ever Live Concert Blu-Ray DVD and Live Album package via Century Media Records. Directed by Tommy Jones (Slayer, Lamb Of God, Death Angel), this Live Concert combo titled, "Live Disease at Brutal Assault" the Live Blu-Ray and CD capture Broken Hope's intense and bludgeoning headline set in front of 25,000 fans.
The Live CD hit #5 on CMJ's Loud Rock/Metal charts the first week of release with DJs and reviewers collectively praising "Live Disease" as one of the greatest sounding Live CD's and greatest visual Concert DVD's in extreme metal.
Broken Hope is almost finished with the recording of their 7th album which will see a worldwide release via Century Media Records.- Xander Riley Russell was born on March 2, 2003 in Libertyville, Illinois.
