Joel Hatcher is a personal trainer, barefoot runner, surfer, snowboarder, coach, dancer, and massage therapist — someone who has built his life around movement in all its forms.
In this conversation, we talk about what it means to live well in the body, not just train it. Joel shares his approach to strength, balance, recovery, and awareness, and how different disciplines — from surfing and snowboarding to dance and hands-on bodywork — inform the way he moves through the world.
This is a relaxed, thoughtful conversation with a grounded, generous person — about listening to the body, staying curious, and finding a way of moving that feels natural rather than forced.
