OUR SERVICES

Health.              Performance. Lifestyle.

Goal Driven Habits began as one-on-one personal training and is now a community committed to helping individuals develop the habits that will lead to improved health, performance, and lifestyle.

Our name comes from the belief that without goals, without a direction to guide our actions or decisions, we find ourselves in the comfort zone, stagnant. Life isn’t supposed to be stagnant, its to be an unending journey of growth, both mentally and physically. Goals provide direction to help shape our journey and develop the habits that push us towards them.

Regardless of the goals we have set for ourselves, health, both mental and physical, is essential to achieving them. We bring together professionals from all different arenas to provide the tools for you to develop the habits you need to achieve whatever goal you are currently striving for. We offer services and work with professionals in Personal Training, Mental Performance, Bodywork, Nutrition, and Recovery and Healthcare. Check out or professionals and partners below to learn more.

Thaddeus Babiec
Thaddeus BabiecFounder & Head Coach
Thaddeus Babiec is certified strength and conditioning specialist, a US National Team rower, and the founder and head coach at Goal Driven Habits, a community of athletes and practitioners committed to raising the level of physical and mental performance. Rather than the typical strength coach who just yells at you to lift heavier or move faster, Thaddeus takes the approach of a teacher, educating his diverse range of clients about how their bodies move and function, empowering them to take ownership of their health and well-being and achieve extraordinary heights.

As a competitive athlete himself, Thaddeus understands intimately that a wide range of movement ability is necessary for success, whether that be in a specific sport or just in life, and that optimal breathing patterns is a central to achieving this. As a Certified Buteyko Professional, he weaves a focus on breathing throughout his work, which has resulted not just in injury recovery but prevention as well.

A voracious reader, Thaddeus enjoys consistently broadening his knowledge of how better habits drive achievement of success, both for himself and his clients local and remote. When he isn’t training clients, you can find him reading and writing about his latest inquiries, or putting in the work on the Schuylkill River, utilizing what he’s learned over the past 13 year and last summer on the 2019 US Men’s National Team at the Pan American Games in pursuit of a spot on the US Olympic Team.

TESTIMONIALS

More than six months after a serious car crash in February and extensive physical therapy, I was able to get back into the gym to resume weight training. My body felt achy and the training wasn’t as enjoyable as it had been prior to my injuries, but I pushed through it. After months of feeling like something was off, it was suggested that I add sport massages into my routine. Olivia made me feel relaxed and comfortable with her professionalism. She asked listened to what was bothering me and responsive to my feedback throughout the massage. In the end, a lot of tension I was holding in my back and shoulders seemed to be the issue. Regular massages with Olivia have now become part of my routine to stay healthy! Emily, 26

Thaddeus was instrumental in achieving my health goals.  Thanks to his support and prodding I not only hit my goal, but was able to exceed it by 6 pounds.  In the months utilizing Thaddeus as my trainer I achieved I ran personal records for a 10k – 46 min and a half marathon 1:44 min.  I highly recommend him as a personal trainer and coach.

I cannot recommend training with Thaddeus enough! He is amazing to work with and is really for ANYONE looking for a trainer who can deliver results and do it in a way that helps you not only look good but feel good doing it. No matter your age, fitness level, goals, etc he is able to tailor a plan that works for your specific needs and will have your body and mind doing things you never thought possible. From my first meeting with Thaddeus, he has always listened to my thoughts, concerns, and goals and worked with me to reframe what lifting weights and strength training really mean. He is unbelievably knowledgable about how each muscle/muscle group is working and transitioning through each workout and helps you understand the importance of each and how to feel when things are right or off. He also makes you think more holistically about your workout and the importance of breathing, sleep, and nutrition to make sure that you can progress and succeed not just during your sessions. He is always available to answer questions and I know he always has my best interest in mind. Be prepared for a kick-ass workout, but always one with lots of laughs. After a year and a half of training with him, I am still amazed at what I can now do that I never thought possible and even more excited to see the consistent improvements. As long as you are willing to put in the work, Thaddeus is there to help you reach the finish line. Elissa, 38
