Meet Jeremy Herider, life coach, business consultant, professional athlete, podcaster… the list goes on. How can one person even have so many titles? That’s just what you get when you’re living as your Optimal Self. As a pioneer in two professional sports, Jeremy has spent a lifetime building the elite habits necessary to thrive not only in pro sports, but in every other venture that he’s been a part of.
Originally from Lancaster, California, Jeremy found his strength as an athlete from an early age. He was a three-sport letterman in high school and an MVP in baseball. He graduated from Gonzaga University where he was an All-Pac10 Infielder. His pro baseball career took off not long after. But his drive didn’t stop there and neither did his list of accomplishments. Jeremy was the first contracted player with the Diamondbacks to get a hit in the history of the organization. He was later drafted by the LA Reign, officially making him a two-sport professional athlete. More recently, Jeremy has been named a CrossFit Champion, taking home 1st Place for the Deadlift/Box Jump event. Of course, now Jeremy has shifted his focus once again as a productivity consultant for Fortune 500 companies, private business coach, and motivational speaker.
Jeremy’s Optimal Self Coaching program and podcast boil down this lifetime of achievement into tangible, attainable habits that anyone can adopt for success. No success story, including Jeremy’s, happens by accident. Begin yours with Optimal Self.

On July 2, 2012 Joe Ardagna and Austin Brock turned their dreams and passions into reality when they opened Slash Fitness, a boutique style semi private, group, and personal training studio.
Originally from Boston, Joe Ardagna, 40, came to Fla. 16 years ago and joined the National Personal Training Institute where he received honors and best motivator. Austin Brock, 36, from Hilton Head, SC, went to Florida State University for exercise science and physical therapy.
Ardagna and Brock met about 10 years ago at a local gym and shortly thereafter began to share their thoughts as they both had different backgrounds in education, but had one goal in mind. They saw where the fitness industry was headed and that group fitness was on rise. Both of them share the common goal of wanting to help people become the best versions of themselves, in a safe and effective way.
With that, the two built what we now know as Slash Fitness. Their goal is to provide a safe and effective workout, regardless of age, weight, or body restrictions. Their workouts provide HIIT style conditioning along with traditional dumbbell, core, and flexibility training. We provide an incredible motivating, fun, and positive environment with each and every workout. An experience you must truly see to believe.
Slash Fitness has garnered clients, fans and supporters to follow the Slash way of life. Their culture is one that uplifts spirits and creates a healthier and more confident individual. Slash’s dedication to their clients and helping them reach inner and outer perfection, has voted Slash Fitness the #1 Fitness facility in Palm Beach, and one of the most sought after places to workout or train.
