Adam Boyd is the founder and CEO of Soleful Training. He has over a decade of experience as a police officer, three of which were on a SWAT team and 6 as a Detective. Adam created department wellness challenges and programming, trained their SWAT team, assigned as PT team lead, and revamped the SWAT PT applicant process. Adam amassed certifications such as NSCA Tactical Facilitator, Leadership Resilience (Harvard Business School), FBINA Comprehensive Resilience Train the Trainer, Wim Hof Level 1, XPT Performance Breathing Coach, and AZ POST Physical Fitness Instructor. He is also an ultra runner and has completed an ultra distance over a dozen times to include two 100 mile runs. Adam's experience allowed him to understand the rigors of the job which prompted him to create a holistic wellness program that focuses on first responders.  Soleful Training's holistic wellness program consists of 4 pillars: physical resilience, mental resilience, social resilience, and purpose.  Soleful Training's focus is on changing behavior, not just providing knowledge. Our first responders deserve to have the tools to prevent and assist with the stressors of the job. 

One of his favorite tools to teach is the Wim Hof Method.  This method, pioneered by the internationally renowned "Iceman" Wim Hof, is a scientifically-backed technique that combines three fundamental pillars: breathing exercises, cold exposure, and mindset. This powerful combination has proven to yield remarkable physical and mental benefits for practitioners from all walks of life. Adam has taught this method to medical professionals, SWAT, first responders, business professionals, and Special Forces soldiers.
