John Hecker, COO and Founder of ALL-IN-15 at 1297 Main Street, #1 in Windsor, comes from a very athletic background. He participated in sports including football, basketball, and track. Lifting since the age of 13, he was exposed to various weight training programs - both good and bad. He experienced frustration with how he was being trained in college, noticing the shift from fast, effective, athletic training to programs that were less functional, resulting in stiffness. This motivated him to pursue strength training and conditioning as a career path to help eliminate these frustrations for future athletes. However, his exposure to eccentrics helped him see that he could impact not only athletes but the general population as well. Incorporating machines to facilitate this kind of training allows people to achieve more efficiency compared to traditional workouts because they focus on the lowering phase of the lift (eccentric), where bone, tendon, and muscle building, as well as nervous system activation, occur. By training in the eccentric, the body resists more than it’s able to lift, experiencing a controlled, engaged stretch that builds strength through an entire range of motion, making it possible to lift more than in a traditional weight room and get stronger while doing less.
ALL-IN-15’s cutting-edge, AI-driven machines record data, reading the body millimeter by millimeter and millisecond by millisecond to assign the appropriate load both in concentric and eccentric phases, thus maximizing the workout, putting the load on the nervous system in a correct way with no aches, pains, or joint issues.
John shares that men begin to experience a loss of power in their late twenties. By the time they reach their mid-fifties and sixties, their hormones rapidly decline at a rate actually much faster than women, resulting in sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) and osteoporosis. Through the use of their specialized machines, ALL-IN-15 can restore power, help regain strength, and begin to reverse the effects of sarcopenia and osteoporosis, providing a higher quality of life and maintaining the functionality necessary to participate in meaningful activities.
Success stories like that of John’s uncle help prove the effectiveness of eccentric training at ALL-IN-15. In his late sixties, John’s uncle began experiencing balance issues, difficulty getting up from the floor after playing with his grandkids, kneeling in church, and considered the use of a cane. He noticed a significant improvement after only six weeks of training with John, moving freely to the floor and back up again, kneeling comfortably at church, and having his balance restored. His career as a police officer required him to wear a heavy utility belt for years, resulting in the need for a hip replacement. Training with John built the strength, proper engagement, and muscle function for a quick recovery from his hip surgery. The surgeon even commented on the thickness and strength of his bones, comparing them to a “concrete pillar.”
With his Health and Exercise Science major, a functional movement screen, and personal experience, John uses his training model, as opposed to a traditional strength and conditioning program, to help improve the quality of life for people of all ages with various conditions, including sports injuries, osteoporosis, and even Parkinson’s conditions. By reading numerous studies and articles, John stays current and makes necessary adaptations to his program. In so doing, he fulfills the goal of ALL-IN-15 - to tailor efficient, optimized workouts to achieve the best results as fast as possible. Learn more by visiting aififteen.com.
