“At G.O.A.L.S. Oriented Training you are treated like more than just a client. You feel like family,” said Macon. “Clay is way more than a personal and fitness trainer. He designs individualized meal plans that fit your specific weight loss goals, often adjusts your workout plan when you fear you have hit your plateau and provides group chat sessions or individual listening sessions to address problems and concerns you have with the program. He is an extremely caring and knowledgeable trainer that holds you accountable to ensure that you achieve the best results possible.”
Moorfield, 40, is a Hazelwood native, the 10th of 12 children, and father of a 21- and 16-year-old. He’s experienced a colorful life. Leaning on academics and athletics to lead him through his educational years, he used basketball, track, and gymnastics as his preferred sports. Attending Central State University in Ohio for a brief period, he pursued a degree in Business Administration and Management, realizing that it wasn’t for him. Falling into what he classifies as “living a negative lifestyle” and getting involved with criminal activities, Morefield said he was imprisoned for 11 years. Not letting the circumstance dictate his destiny, he said, “I used the time to reflect, without my distorted perception, on my life and life choices. Due to my love for science, math, athletics, and helping others, I pursued a certification in personal training while housed at the State Correctional Facility of Loretto and absolutely loved it.”
Now, his time is devoted to helping people live healthy lives.
Moorfield’s love for the cultivation of youth pushed him to develop numerous programs for the youth, and work as a gym/health teacher at Shuman Center. The Career and Fitness Day programs consisted of different career talks, outlining educational paths he and the speakers took to get to where they are in their careers. He also designed an Artful Athletics program that required parents and child involvement in painting portraits.
Since operating G.O.A.L.S. Oriented Training,
Moorefield has been involved in designing weight training for weight loss programs, strength and conditioning programs for athletes, principles behind aerobic trainings and optimal sports nutrition programs. He served as the trainer and routine designer of a Highmark year-long training program for families at St. James Church in Penn Hills and the Kingsley Center, trainer and routine designer for a 60-day weight loss challenge by UPMC with Central Baptist Church in the Hill District, and trainer and routine designer for a Biggest Loser Competition at Mt. Ararat Baptist Church in East Liberty sponsored by Highmark. Moorefield also has been participating in nationally-qualified bodybuilding competitions.
A lover of people and life, Morefield says, “Training gives me the opportunity to change lives externally and internally. I hope to live and lead by example to show others that no matter what choices we make in life, there’s a chance if you’re willing to want to change yourself. The body can do amazing things, it’s the mind we must convince. Once we cleanse our hearts, and purify our thought process, the sky’s the limit.”
