The Healthy Charleston Podcast

Becoming Uncommon: Joe Traynor on Tactical Training, Living Aligned, and Fitness Trends
In this episode, Hannah sits down with Joe Traynor — strength coach, tactical athlete, and National Guard member — to talk about what it really means to be uncommon among uncommon people. Joe shares his journey from playing soccer in Portugal to coaching full-time in Charleston, and how his philosophy around fitness has evolved along the way.
They dive into what tactical training actually looks like, why strength is the foundation for confidence, and how to cut through the noise of trendy fitness advice. Joe keeps it real with hot takes on creatine, fasted cardio, and the one movement he thinks everyone should be doing. Whether you're a coach, athlete, or everyday mover — this one will make you think differently about the gym, your mindset, and your life.
