Personal Training
If you want to look and feel your absolute best, I can help. As you probably know, countless studies have found a direct link between your fitness level and your overall confidence and happiness.
Exercise is the body's stimulus for change. Whether you perform strength training, endurance training or a combination of both, it is critical that your workouts are unaccustomed, progressive and appropriate for you. This will ensure that your body is given a reason to change in a positive, healthy way, and will help prevent burnout and injury.
Regular feedback makes all the difference, and the right coach will help you get consistent results week after week. Individualizing the above three Pillars is not only necessary when you first start your program, it's critical every step of the way. Remember this: Your body is designed to adapt, so it's not a matter of whether you will plateau; it's a matter of when and how long you stay stuck there. A Certified Fitness Professional is trained to get you beyond the plateaus with the right adjustments to your 4 Pillar Plan while making your journey fun, safe, effective and motivating.
Allow me to create a specialized personal training programs for you utilizing my certified credentials in nutrition, corrective exercise, behavioral conditioning and motivation to employ a variety of training modalities including specializations in kettlebell, TRX, boxing and martial arts.
Nutritional Coaching
Nutrition is 100% responsible for exercise-induced body composition changes. What you do in the gym stimulates your body to change, but what you put back into your body determines how much your body actually does change. If you don't eat, bad things happen. Now that you are exercising, you are an athlete, and your body needs to be fueled properly during the "Other 23 Hours a Day" to see the results you desire. The 3 nutritional variables that will determine how quickly you achieve your goal are: The number of Calories you need to consume each day; The Composition of foods that make you feel your best; and The proper Timing of your meals so that you fuel your best workouts and recover from them quickly.
Combining my educational background of a Licensed Sports Nutritionist and Lifestyle Weight Management Coach, together we can address the challenges of nutrition based on you current needs, keep with you personal preferences and educate you on the steps to be successful in this important component.

"I enjoyed Kurt's self defense class. I did come in there with the expectation of being taught to kick the guy in the groin, stomp on his instep, or shove my hand into his nose. I was glad it was much more than that. It showed me there is a lot more to defense, such as how to use your body weight, how to use body parts, and how to shift your whole self in situations. Things I would have never thought about or knew. " - Laura Fahrenbrook
