Workout With Kirk

1 star because they don’t allow zero stars. I’m a senior, wanted to work on core strength. Found Kirk to have a surly, antagonistic personality very unsuited for a customer service business. Don’t know how his training could have been the way it was with me as he permanently injured me and was dispassionate about my concerns.

We have been with Kirk for a year and a half now, and I couldn’t recommend anyone else more highly. Within 2 months, I could do a paleo squat and stand back up without pain, where I hadn’t been able to do that for almost ten years because of knee pain. Within 3 months my husband had lost 40 pounds — safely and healthily — without even having weight loss as a goal.
One of the biggest indicators of Kirk’s passion for helping people is how much time he and money he spends keeping up with new research and developments in medicine, nutrition, and fitness. He is always attending training conferences (functional stretching, Titleist Performance Institute, TRX, etc.) and implementing new ideas/​approaches to help us clean up our form in an exercise or get more strength, stability, or mobility in a certain plane of motion. While he doesn’t rely on fancy equipment to do the training for him, the equipment he buys is top quality and safe.
Yes, he’s not cheap. But I don’t want to train with someone who just wants to fill a room and couldn’t care less whether we showed up. His rates reflect the quality of his coaching, and that reflects in our health.

Kirk is the real deal!
The starting point for training with Kirk was a Functional Movement Screen. This is a comprehensive range of tests that measures flexibility and movement. The test results exposed my strengths and weaknesses, and provided a training guideline. Starting with these benchmarks provided me with a way to measure fitness results beyond pounds lost or weight lifted.
The typical trainer asks, «what are your goals» and then starts training. Kirk starts with a scientific approach and builds a training program that has measurable results and is designed to prevent injury. I have seen great results and absolutely recommend Kirk.

Kirk is ridiculously knowledgeable in so many aspects of health, I had a fitness evaluation recently with Kirk to determine weather or not my body is prepared for training, and to ensure that I do not hinder my ability to obtain my fitness goals due to a silly injury that could have been PREVENTED.
I have followed his recommendations and I am thankful for his patients and honesty!
Kirk is awesome, check him out!

I had an evaluation with Kirk a couple of weeks ago to get my «score» on this cool system he uses to tell you how ready your body is for training.
Though not a bad score, I had areas of concern… With just two weeks of doing the corrective exercises he gave me, my shoulder has improved a lot and has incredibly reduced its «clicking» every time I move it around.
Kirk knows his stuff and will be able to help you too, like he helped me! :-)

I’m realy feel stronger after seeing Kirk serveral times, and I coundn’t wait to have some more training. I wish I have more time …
Thank you for being so patient with me. I know I may be too slow for Kirk, but I think I will get what I want if I listen and try my best all the time.

Wow!
8 weeks with Kirk has given me a new vision for fitness for my future… focusing on flexibility and building muscle, Kirk has given me so much motivation and information! Having had only one other personal trainer, this was a completely different experience. During the workout, which varies from yoga to kettle bells, he talks about nutrition and physiology, including all kinds of pointers on whole foods, vitamins, etc.
I can also say it’s never boring… He’s probably the only person that will ever get me to do a «bear crawl»
Thanks Kirk!
