Hello & welcome to Hammer Fitness! My name is Cole Ingram and I am a personal trainer out of Papillion, NE. Physical fitness has long been a passion of mine, dating back to my teen years training for football & baseball at Lincoln Southwest High School in Lincoln, NE.
Like most kids growing up in Nebraska, I always wanted to be a Husker & I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to walk on as a hammer thrower from 2009-2013. While I learned many valuable lessons during my time as an athlete at Nebraska, I really fell in love with the training aspect that came with it, specifically in the weight room.
Nebraska Athletics has always been on the cutting edge in terms of athletic development & the strength staff that worked with me throughout my career at NU was no exception. Fascinated by the theory behind our training methodologies and applications, I recognized early on that I not only had a passion for training myself, but for teaching others as well. I believe that my personal experience here, coupled with my ongoing education in the personal training & wellness space, will provide clients with a unique and personalized experience that will surpass expectations.
Outside of training, I maintain a ‘day’ job as a Senior Manager in the Trader Service segment at Charles Schwab. Beginning my career with TD Ameritrade in 2014, the combined firm has allowed me to work with many great people over the years and has armed me with valuable life skills and growth opportunities that have empowered me to pursue my passion for training.
More importantly, though, my career path has afforded me and opportunity to build an amazing family that continues to support me and my goals!
