"Kurt has been the perfect personal trainer for me. I have been with him for approximately nine months so far. Prior to this, though, I have been weight training for 14 years with four other trainers over the years. My previous history has been one in which I have had fibromyalgia / chronic fatigue / Epstein-Barr syndrome syndrome, so exercise has been both necessary and a challenge for me. I had a fast-paced, high-stress career with a major entertainment company for 25 years. I am a 59 year old woman.

That's it for my background. When I began working with Kurt, I was coming off a period of not working out and found that when I over-exerted, I got sick. Kurt is exceptionally client- centered. He has tailored my workouts to my specific needs. While he wants to motivate me to reach my goals of being strong and feeling and looking great, he has been respectful of my pacing.

He is the first trainer to start me out by building all the small muscles which support the large muscle groups before beginning to lift heavier. He has encouraged me to add an aerobic component to my routine which has always been my weak spot. I am continually impressed, no astonished with the depth of his knowledge in areas of diet and nutrition, weight training, yoga and stretching, sports rehabilitation and overall health. I am also continually impressed with the breadth of techniques in his bag of tricks for whatever issue or 'creak' I present.

I am feeling great and South Bay Fitness  is phenomenal."
- Lynne R.

- Reed and Nan H.

"I always thought I could train myself. I was wrong. Since I have been training with South Bay Fitness, I have made significant gains in strength and body composition. He is doing a great job for a 25 year old trapped in a 53 year old body."
