How Ariel Hammans, A 10-Year Affiliate Owner At Sharp Top CrossFit Partnered With HSN Mentoring After Trying To Do Nutrition On Their Own Without Their Clients Seeing The Results They Were Looking For

“HSN mentoring has provided us with the confidence to serve our members in a whole new way. We knew that nutrition was the “base” of the “fitness pyramid” for a long time, and while we had the knowledge about what people should be doing– we lacked the skills and systems to truly guide people along the way.

Meet Ariel Hammans, Co-Owner Of Sharp Top CrossFit and 10-year CrossFit Affiliate Owner with her husband, Johnny.

Ariel and Johnny opened a CrossFit gym after being avid CrossFit athletes themselves and realized how much CrossFit helped them mentally and physically, they wanted to help people in their community find CrossFit.

Ariel and Johnny knew that wanted nutrition to be part of what they offer at the gym. They tried many different coaching certifications and tactics including macro coaching and meal plans. Their clients were not seeing the results they were looking for and they lacked the skills and knowledge to be successful as coaches.

After years of trying to do it all on their own, Ariel and Johnny partnered with HSN Mentoring at the end of 2023. They brought on another coach to go through the training course with them to help support the program.

With the help of HSN Mentoring, Sharp Top CrossFit has a successful nutrition program, clients are seeing the results they are looking for, and they are reaching more people in their community.

The Sharp Top CrossFit nutrition team has 16 nutrition clients and their gym has 90 members.

Ariel and Johnny are confident in the program they are offering versus what they were offering before, their nutrition coach has now transitioned to full-time, which has created more revenue for the gym and the nutrition coach. This team has even onboarded an additional coach to help with the influx of clients, the sky is the limit for Sharp Top CrossFit!

Ariel's Favorite Client Win:

Ariel has a client, Dianne who is a rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis warrior, since starting nutrition coaching and CrossFit, Dianne has not had any flare ups and was able to stop her weekly biologic shot. Her rheumatologist is amazed at the difference of her joints and blood work in just 4 months! Dianne also does not have any active inflammation, for the first time in 10 years. Her strength and confidence has increased, she can apply body weight to her hands and wrists again for the first time in a decade. 

How HSN Mentoring Is Helping Ariel's Business Grow

“Having HSN has helped our members see a whole new level of results. It has helped outsource much of the work off of my plate as the owner. I no longer feel the need to be the only one to get things done. With the training provided by HSN, I know that our coaches are competent in helping people. This extends our reach to more clients and helps me allocate time and mental bandwidth to other areas of the business. We are hoping to extend beyond just serving our members in the upcoming year– our goal is to expand into worksite wellness or do some community outreach for families. “
