“I want to give a massive thank you to The Running Public for everything they’ve done for me. Ever since I started listening to their podcast at the end of 2020, I’ve seen a huge transformation in my running. I went from struggling to make it to the podium to now being on the podium 70 times! Just this year alone, I’ve dropped my 5K time from 19:58 to 17:38, my 10K from 45 minutes to 38:44, and just last weekend, I knocked five minutes off my 10-mile time, going from 1:09 to 1:04.
The running plan and insights they’ve shared have truly been game-changers. Every time I have a question, they’re always there to provide guidance. For anyone looking to take their running to the next level, I can't recommend giving them a listen enough. Their advice and plans have made all the difference in my running success!"

This expresses your gratitude while highlighting our progress and the impact The Running Public has had on our running. Hopefully, it will inspire others to check them out too!

I'm currently one of the online athletes that work with Kirk. I started working with him about a year ago now, and he has completely changed my view on what I'm capable of achieving. Within one year of working with Kirk, I went from a 4-5 mile long run to a 15-18 mile long run, 3 mile recovery to 8 miles, and a half marathon being the longest I have ever done to completing 57 mile ultra. Not to mention the countless PR's I have set and broken throughout the year, and being on the age group podium 3 out of my 4 races this year. Incase I haven't made it clear yet, working with Kirk will get you results.

Kirk is the real deal! He's very personable, dedicated, passionate and supportive. He meets you where you are at physically and mentally. I have some physical limitations so he modifies movements to accommodate.

I started working with Kirk 9 months ago as I was trying to be more competitive in obstacle course racing and running in general. Kirk had a genuine interest in what I was doing and drew up a plan that helped me grow and ultimately run faster. We checked in weekly but if I had a question he was there for me. I recommend working with him (virtually as I did).

I have trained with Kirk for 5 months. When I first started, I could barely do 8 lbs and 10 lbs. He was always so kind and observing to make sure I was developing the necessary strength and endurance to perform better each session. Kirk paces me and holds me accountable for my fitness journey. He always pushes me to my full potential, he recognizes my hard work, and he makes me feel so proud of myself. Kirk is very professional and has truly helped me overcome so many personal struggles that I many times before, never thought that I would ever overcome in my life.

Kirk is truly so amazing and I will keep training with him because I know I can always trust him with my fitness journey.

Kirk DeWindt personal training changed my life! I started out of shape, overweight, lacked confidence, and struggled with a purpose. But Kirk encouraged me along the way and had a training plan that worked! He molded me into the best version of myself and as an athlete. I didn't start a single varsity sport in High School and he helped me qualify for the OCR World Championship, Spartan North American Championship and Spartan World Championship!

Kirk is an amazing trainer that has a clear passion for what he does. He is dedicated to helping each client create a routine to achieve their individual goals. I am a part of one of his group training sessions, and we are all at different places in our fitness journeys, and each have our own goals we are chasing, and he finds a way to personalize the workouts so we each get exactly what we need out of every session. And he also finds a way to keep the workouts fresh and challenging, which I appreciate as well.

I will be honest, Kirk is a beast. He will put in the work with you if you show him commitment. I think for me getting up at 5-6am to reach the gym was the hard part but once you're there he knows that you want to change your life and he will make sure to help you reach your goals. Follow his meal plans and gym routines, its worth it!

2020 will bring my 50th and as an endurance athlete (in cycling) competing almost 30 of those 50, I've had 2 personal trainers along the way. Kirk is my 3rd and what it made it different for me this time around was finding someone who could connect, relate and dynamically shift on my personal needs and goals around body fat composition, strength and nutritional foundation. It's been nothing but positive and while things are still improving (aren't they always?), his drive and passion to see you thru and succeed is what I love about him. He will drive you with a style and approach that's relevant to you; not anyone else. He designs the program to your needs and will iterate along the way to make sure you're making progress. One of the best and highly recommended!!

I wanted to give Kirk a shout out on my personal fitness journey. As a mom of young kids finding time or a routine was tough. I started group fitness training twice and week. Kirk started me on a nutrition plan that was simple and easy to follow. I lost 15# this first month I started training with him. He genuinely cares about you as a person and wants you to be successful. He will hold you and accountable and encourages me to bring it to every class. It has been great working with Kirk! He also has a pretty awesome podcast that you should give a listen called The Running Public.

After interviewing a couple coaches I went with Kirk. Only fella that would listen to my ridiculous goals seriously! I'm not interested in a coach that I only have access to through email, pumped that Kirk actually interacts with me. My goals are more mountaineering based and I'm pumped to be tackling them with his support! Top notch Kirk, top notch!

I would highly recommend Kirk and his personal training. He is very motivated in helping his clients reach their goals in the gym and he ensures that it is a realistic approach. When I first started training, Kirk and I had a consultation where he really got to know me, my workout history, and my current diet. I had hit a plateau in my workout goals and Kirk was able to help me push past that and really exceeded my expectations. He really pushes everybody to be their best in and out of the gym and is great at holding you accountable with weekly check-ins. Not only is Kirk great as a trainer, he is simply a great person who really cares about you and your lifestyle. You can easily tell that he wants you to be happy and healthy while having a plan that is maintainable... none of these fad or extreme diets like other trainers are recommending. Another plus of Kirk's training was the fact that I met some really wonderful people in my morning group training sessions, I always looked forward to seeing everybody at my workouts!

Kirk is a very knowledgeable and experienced trainer. He offers as much or as little as you desire outside of just the physical training in forms of extra stretching or workout recommendations, meal planning, etc. Kirk also does a great job ramping the difficulty up or down for of any of the exercises depending on your current fitness level.

I 100% would recommend his services for anyone looking for some personal training at any level.

I had the pleasure of training with Kirk during the Spartan National Series last year. He did a fantastic job with programming & periodization that catered specifically to my race season and set me up for success. I often struggle with following a structured training plan, but Kirk was really flexible and offered smart alternatives when needed. I would definitely recommend him as a coach to anyone out there looking for a running or OCR coach, as well as personal training!

Kirk is a great personal trainer and he's really fun to work with. I partake in the small groups sessions and he always gives us a variety of workouts, an boy are they challenging! My favorite part is that every workout sessions I've had has been completely different and I am always sore the next day!

Kirk also creates individual workout plans to follow that are tailored specifically for you and your fitness goals. He also makes himself available to me if I ever have any questions regarding my plan or nutrition. I'd highly suggest working with Kirk! he cares about the wellbeing of his clients and also hold us accountable which was important to me when finding a personal trainer.

I would highly recommend training with Kirk! Kirk is enthusiastic, and will fully match whatever effort and commitment you bring to your training. I have trained with him online for three different races over the past two years, for half marathons in 2017 and 2019 and currently for a marathon. I PR’d by over 8 minutes in my second time training for a half marathon with him, which was a goal I never thought I would accomplish!

Whenever I get a training plan from him, it always makes me equally nervous and excited, which I think it the perfect place to be for growth. Kirk asks a lot of questions about your goals, and creates plans that are very personalized to what you’re aiming to accomplish.

Kirk is very communicative, and regularly checks in and is very responsive whenever I reach out with questions or need help with strategizing a workout. When I was injured, he was able to modify my plan so that I could continue to make progress towards my fitness goals. Kirk’s check-ins are equal parts encouraging and holding me accountable to the training plan, which I love!

Working with Kirk has helped me make WAY more fitness progress than I could have on my own, and I would highly recommend working with him to achieve whatever fitness goals you have!

I have been working with Kirk through his online personal training program for over a year now. It’s one of the best decisions I have made. His customized programs gave me all the tools I needed to be successful and reach my health and fitness goals. Workouts are always challenging and full of variety. His support, guidance, & knowledge are amazing. Weekly check ins hold me accountable and keep me progressing towards my goal. Kirk’s program not only helped me with loosing over 45 lbs and getting my health back on track. It also gave me the confidence that you can do anything with a little consistency and hard work! If you’re looking for a change with your nutrition and fitness, give Kirk’s online personal training program a try. You will not regret it! It’s simply the best!

I met Kirk about a year ago, I've been working out with him twice a week now. His training skills are no joke, he knows his stuff. Everyone that has hired him has seen big results (I see his other clients before and after my session). He will push you to your limit, which is what I want in a trainer. My two words of wisdom is, " Hire him", you will be impressed with the results.

After seeing a neighbor friend of mine undergo a MAJOR body transformation, and being a middle aged Man with declining overall physical health, I wanted to jump on board. My friend told me about Kirk DeWindt. After seeing and hearing his success story.I met with Kirk and got on board with his program. I have been working with Kirk for the past two years and I have learned so much about Diet and exercise routine.I have worked out on and off my whole life and thought I knew how to Diet and Exercise.After following Kirk's routine for two years, I have seen a Major transformation in my Body,over all health and my Energy.

Kirk helped me get back into shape and feeling great postpartum... and in only 40 minutes/day per my request from a time strapped mom of two! He really listened to my needs/goals and created a training and nutrition plan tailored to ME! With the combination of strength + some speed/hill workouts, within just a few weeks, I had already improved my running pace by +40 seconds per mile... and have kept clipping seconds (and pounds) off thereafter! I would recommend Kirk over and over again to all of my friends and family!

To say that Kirk is the best would be an understatement. I started working out with Kirk 5 years ago, and prior to that I had struggled with working out consistently since I graduated high school. Starting to work out with Kirk jump-started me into becoming a much healthier, happier person. Even when I wasn’t able to come to the gym to work out with Kirk in person, he made plans for me to follow on my own, and always checked in with me to monitor my progress and encourage me through any challenges I faced. Kirk works with you where you’re at in your fitness journey, but also challenges you to challenge yourself to set and achieve new goals. Over the past 5 years Kirk has not only been a great trainer but also a great friend. He truly cares about the people who train with him, and I feel very lucky to be part of that group!

I love Kirk's knowledge, support, and enthusiasm! I am using his remote training and it is the best info and support that I have ever seen in remote coaching.

The plans are clear, specific, and achievable. They are delivered via email and tailored to me and my goals. When life has jumped in front of my training plans, Kirk is able to move training plans around, make adjustments, and offer suggestions on priorities.

The magic of working with Kirk comes after that. His support, enthusiasm, and butt-kicking (when needed) are all top notch. He cares, and that comes through. I have benefited from his encouragement and support many times to keep me on track.

I highly recommend Kirk for training - his remote is the best I have used, I can only imagine how good his in person training would be. If you are looking for remote programming and training, look no further. If you have the chance to get in the gym with him, I would highly recommend it!

Before working with Kirk I thought I was already in good shape. But just after a few months of training with him, he helped me achieve levels of athletic performance that I never thought I could reach. He really focuses on understanding your goals to develop an awesome plan that will help you conquer them. He is extremely knowledgeable and is always there to make sure you’re putting in the work and to answer any questions you have. And his awesome new podcast “The Running Public” is a great source of information and motivation!

Kirk is the best when it comes to fitness workouts, running training, nutrition and full support. I can ask him anything and he gives great advice and helpful tips every time. I have trained with Kirk for distant running races up to half marathons as well as strength training for weight loss and muscle building. He has been a great support through all my endeavors, adjusted my training when gyms closed to at-home workouts and gives me the confidence and motivation to keep focused! I feel great and am excited to continue to learn and grow from Kirk!

After a few months of not making much progress I started to work with Kirk and have had significant changes in a short amount of time.

Kirk is the BEST! I have worked out my entire life, but needed a change. Kirk was what I needed and I am SO glad I found him!! I am always excited to see what he comes up with as he has a new workout every day. He pushes me and makes me want to work harder than ever and does all of this in a fun way. The great thing is he has options for all abilities and physical limitations so anyone can benefit from working out with Kirk! And it is more than just in the gym - he is always there to guide me through my nutrition challenges and does whatever he can to ensure I feel my best and am successful with my goals.

Kirk's group sessions have been the perfect fit for me. They are challenging, never the same, and allow flexibility for modifications as needed. There is also always time for a sarcastic comment within the group, which makes the hard work a bit more fun.

I highly recommend Kirk if you are looking for any assistance in the fitness arena. Gym, track or trail, Kirk knows this stuff and is a great resource for all goals and motivation. Kirk worked with me on my running/fitness the majority of 2018. I was most impressed with how accessible he was for me despite working across time zones and my results were a product of his commitment to me. Thanks again Kirk, we will be in touch.

I have been working out with Kirk twice a week for more than 3 1/2 years. Each year he asks me to write a review and each year I have the best intention and each year I find myself at a loss for words. This is in no small part due to the fact that it's hard to find the right words to express how much a person means to you. How his sense of humor can help you get through the most brutal workout (which he admittedly and gleefully concocted.) How he has helped so many achieve incredible gains. How he has managed to build a clientele that supports and encourages each other both inside and outside the gym as well. How your week doesn't feel complete without seeing him at least once.

I have fallen off the dietary train many MANY times in the last 3 years but Kirk has always been able to give me a gentle nudge in the right direction again and is ALWAYS ready with a high-five for an awesome week...even if it's been a lot of weeks since he last received a check-in from you. He always congratulates the accomplishments of his clients regardless of how much or how little it may be. He is your biggest fan both in times of success and when you are frustrated by plateaus and physical status quo. And the best part is that he truly walks the walk with you. He is honest about struggles he's had with injury or setbacks and even when he's had a cheat day or two.

Your beginning level of strength or endurance should definitely not be a deterrent to contacting Kirk. I have witnessed (and experienced first hand during a nagging knee injury) his ability to customize a workout to accommodate potential limitations you may have. Anyone would be lucky to workout with someone who is the epitome of both personal and professional drive.

Kirk has been my personal trainer for almost 2 years.
You might know him from The Bachelor or Bachelor in Paradise…others might know him for his success as a World ranked Spartan racer (actually made the National team!!) but, I know him as a completely dedicated & hard -hitting trainer.
Why is he great? Here is my Top 10 reasons.
1. He knows what he is talking about! It is his passion! Educating and helping others to achieve success with their health and wellness.
2. He believes in balance…and helps educate you in the balance of life, work, food, exercise and mental health. (I am a workaholic – full of stress and anxiety-so believe me he has his work cut out for him on a weekly basis)
3. He is a guy that says it like it is…he doesn’t really sugar coat, he doesn’t really coddle…but he does hold you accountable and makes you know YOU are the one making excuses! He reminds you that ONLY YOU have the power for change…but he will be by your side every step of the way – if you let him.
4. He has one on one, group sessions or virtual sessions. I go Monday and Thursdays- group sessions. I work-out with a very fun, feisty group. There are 4 of us. I am the rookie! They have been with Kirk for 9 years, 6 years and 5 years respectfully. Somehow- even in a group session- he makes you feel like you are the only one.
5. In the almost 2 years I have been with him- twice a week- we have NEVER repeated the same work out! Important for me.
6. He cares about his clients more than just in the gym! He follows up in your everyday life with a call or a text or an email– especially if you feels you are slacking…or just not taking the time for YOU with your mental & physical health… He checks in!
7. He gives you the tools to succeed. He gives you a meal plan, a homework plan for workouts outside of training days. You have 100% access to him (except weekends –since he is somewhere in the world Spartan racing)
8. It is easy to see he is a good guy that will be dedicated to you as a client because how he treats others- his family means the world to him, he is dedicated to his friends, his teammates, his work …and to his clients. He builds relationships and maintains them- because he cares!
9. He is sarcastically – hilarious. I am constantly laughing.
10. He will Rock your World!
Everyone makes New Year’s resolutions to take health seriously and get in better shape. Some folks can do it on their own – and some need a support team around them. Kirk is the best in the business! Call him! Buy a package today. You won’t regret it! He trains at Lions Gym & Wellness Center... but also.. don't forget.. if you live far away... he has a Virtual package!

My husband and I have been working out with Kirk for about a year and a half. We have done both couple and group sessions and find that both work really well! Kirk engages one on one to understand your goals, needs and concerns. From these types of interactions, he is able to create a custom workout plan just for you and will review and update after you complete the first plan. We have both lost weight and gained a ton of muscle!! And I did not become bulky which was a concern I had. It has been a huge help to have another person keeping us accountable to our health routine— he is always checking up on how the week has gone: are we eating right, working out, recovery, etc.. Without question, we highly recommend Kirk DeWindt as a Personal Trainer!!

I started with Kirk a few months ago. He is very personable and friendly so I immediately felt comfortable. He quickly learned what my limits are and has been pushing me to do exercises and use weights that go beyond what I think I’m capable.

I’ve felt myself get stronger and fitter with his guidance and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made to better myself.

My career demands a lot of my time. Kirk helped me get back into a regular exercise schedule after running "status quo" with my fitness for a long time and never really pushing myself. He's accommodating and understanding with careful attention to detail. I'm stronger and more flexible than I have ever been. Kirk is professional, dedicated to his clients and very knowledgeable.

When I first started with Kirk, I couldn’t even run 3 miles without stopping. I fisnhed the 2018 season running in 16 races (5ks, half marathon, OCR/ Spartan).

I was referred to Kirk by a friend who had been training with him for years. I was looking to loose weight for my wedding, and also get back into shape for our honeymoon where we would be going on a rock climbing adventure in Thailand. I usually hate going to the gym, lifting weights and running, but Kirk is amazing! His workouts are always so different week to week, and every week I am so sore( meaning I worked new muscles every time). After a couple of months I could not believe the results! I am in the best shape of my life, and can workout way longer than ever before in my life. The best part is I truly look forward to going to the gym, which before Kirk was something I would never had said, but with Kirk the workouts are so effective and fun. I was going to only go for the months leading up to my wedding, but now I am hooked and can't imagine not getting the kind of workout Kirk provides!

I initially reached out to Kirk through Instagram, because I follow his Spartan Racing. I reached out to him not expecting a response, and got a response within the hour. I have been working with Kirk through online training for about 5 months now and have been completely impressed with the day to day training. Kirk incorporates both speed and running, and strength training. He is highly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He's always quick to respond to any questions I may have and to modify workouts when needed. He has tailored all of my workouts so that I can do them at home on my time, with the equipment that I have.
I have worked with a handful of trainers over the last 10 years, and Kirk is the first one to actually give a damn about my goals and help me find a way reach them (thru lots of hard work). 2019 I'm hoping to hit some big goals, and do lots of Spartan Racing with the help and training of Kirk.
I would highly recommend Kirk to anyone that has big dreams and lofty goals. He's the guy to help you reach them.

I can’t recommend Kirk enough. He is a fantastic trainer, is a great observer and notices things that are so easy to miss when trying to “go it alone” workout-wise. While I’d had several stints working out before, it never stuck and was always this endless cycle of working out without achieving the goals I had in mind, then losing motivation and losing any gains I’d made until I was so out of shape I’d do the New Year resolution thing.

Within a couple weeks working out with Kirk I was noticing dramatic increases in strength in every area. Pull-ups felt impossible and now 10-12 are an afterthought. My bench is better than its ever been, this time last year I could struggle through 25 pushups - I can blow through 50 now.

But honestly the best thing about Kirk is that he’s just a genuine guy who walks the walk and somehow makes a hard workout extremely fun. I never wanted our workouts to end, even when my arms/legs/chest felt like jello.

Sign up! You will not regret it!

I had the chance to work with Kirk over the summer during my peak season of training for Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) and a marathon I was expecting to do. Kirk put together a program for me that was very simple yet effective. He also made the nutrition piece very simple as well. He was full of knowledge and willing to answer any questions I had. He kept me accountable each week by following-up and asking how my workouts went. He would even tell me which workouts to prioritize over others when I knew that I would not have the time to do all of them according to plan. This was super helpful in trying to plan my time and workout schedule. I am 23 years old and was in pretty good shape prior to training with him, but after our time had finished I was in the best shape I have ever been in. My body felt great! I liked the way I looked in the mirror and was super pleased with my performance gains as well. The gains, performance, and lifestyle habits I created when working with him have continued and I am still in great shape today. He creates a lifestyle for you! I highly recommend Kirk as a trainer to anyone. It doesn't matter if you are looking to be a top athlete, want to get in the best shape of your life, or just implement some healthier choices into your life. Kirk will MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Kirk DeWindt personal training has changed my life! Many reasons I recommend his training...
1. Kirk will work with you at any level you’re at. He designs the class to your needs, and makes adjustments if you’ve had any injuries in the past. While pushing you to the next level.
2. He provides a workout plan specifically to your needs, that you can do on your own time. I definitely appreciate the guidance! I used to flounder around at the gym, now I have a plan.
3. Kirk wants to know how you feed your body. He will provide a specific diet for you according to your needs. He will also hold you accountable, and ask that you write down everything you eat.
4. Finally, Kirk is always available to answer any questions you might have.
I highly recommend training with Kirk DeWindt!

Kirk was absolutely amazing! I'd never had a personal trainer before let alone one via online. I was in nursing school and my time away from studying was few and far between. He was great at personalizing a workout plan for me, and helping make adjustments where I needed it. He was able to give me a workout plan that allowed me to use outdoors as alternative instead of gym. He was always very quick to respond to my emails, always encouraging and uplifting. I highly highly recommend Kirk as a personal trainer! He is the absolute best!! While majority of class was gaining weight during nursing school and always eating out, I was losing weight and eating healthy. :)

I trained with Kirk for close to 9 months. I had worked with trainers "in person" before but never online. I was a bit skeptical but when I lost my trainer unexpectedly I thought why not?!! I was not disappointed! He was consistently available for any and all questions I had. The workouts pushed me as much as an in person trainer and I didn't have to work my schedule around someone else's. If your thinking of trying Kirk out stop thinking and take the leap!!!

I've worked with Kirk for almost 3 months now as an online running coach. I reached out to Kirk, based on his running background, in order to work on my speed during the winter months, and he has completely exceeded all expectations! Even with Kirk being an online coach, he has provided detailed daily running and strength training workouts (that vary by type and speed based on my abilities), he has reached out to me each week to see how progress went that week and to answer any questions I may have, and he has been 100% responsive to quick questions, or just accomplishments I have had from a workout, through text message. Throughout the 3 months of working together I have increased my speed (knocking over a minute off of my 5k time) and have noticeably increased my strength! This training has gone so well that I am extending the coaching beyond the winter months to see what benefits can be gained by having Kirk coach me as I train for a summer marathon!

I can honestly say that Kirk exceeded all of my expectations of what I thought a trainer could provide and help me accomplish. He is extremely knowledgeable with all aspects of physical fitness and nutrition. The best part about working out with Kirk is how accessible he is and the level of accountability he provides all of his clients. I would strongly suggest to anyone looking to give a personal trainer a try, that they reach out to Kirk!

I've tried many different things to lose weight over the years, and Personal Training with Kirk has been the only way I've ever been able to lose (and maintain) 40+ pounds. I really feel like Kirk gives me the tools I need to succeed (meal plans, work out regimes, and additional support when needed). Any time I have a question or need additional support, he's quick to respond and make sure my training needs are met. Most importantly though, he is there to hold me accountable when necessary and celebrate successes along the way. I also have a busy work schedule that requires me to travel often, but I really appreciate how flexible Kirk is to making sure I can still get a session in during a busy week.

I've tried a ton of different diets and work out programs and have NEVER had results like I did with Kirk's program. I am beyond ecstatic with the results I have had! After receiving the results I wanted, my husband and I decided to conceive and now 2 months after giving birth I am working with Kirk again! Definitely worth every penny!

I have been working with Kirk since July 2016, and it is absolutely the best decision and investment I ever could have made. I was less than a year away from my 50th birthday and decided it was time to take back my fitness. I had a good amount of weight to lose, a back injury 3 years ago, and some lofty goals, and I knew that I needed help and support. I echo what many, many other people have said: you do not go it alone when you choose to work with Kirk. Kirk not only gets you on track in the beginning, he stays with you every single step of the way. I work out with Kirk twice a week at the gym and four times a week on my own on a plan that he created that fits my specific needs and schedule, in addition to a great nutrition plan. I walk away from every workout thinking “I can’t believe I just did that!” He has a lot of faith in your possibility and genuinely wants you to succeed. The most amazing part, to me, however, which feels above and beyond what I ever would have expected from a trainer, is that I check in every week with my food, exercise and a general overview of how the week went, and he goes through every single thing I send him and responds thoughtfully with feedback, encouragement, and accountability when I need it. I am losing weight, running again after 20 years, and my back is a non-issue. Kirk is kind- hearted, down to earth, professional, caring and inspiring, to boot! Choosing Kirk as a trainer has truly been life changing.

I had the opportunity to train with Kirk both in person and online and both were life-changing experiences. He not only took the time to care about my progress when I was in training sessions, but outside of sessions as well. From meal plans to exercise schedules everything was personalized to meet the needs and demands of my life. I never felt like a number, I felt like a friend. He has a genuine and energetic approach to helping you be successful! I highly recommend finding your fit with Kirk. #KDPT

I've worked with Kirk for about a year (both in individual and in group sessions) and I've never felt more strong or energetic. He's done a fantastic job developing a program that fits with my schedule. He is knowledgeable and can identify where you are and where you can be with the right plan. I'd absolutely recommend Kirk to anyone serious about getting in shape.

I thought about working with a trainer for many years. And finally acting on it was one of the best decisions I made in 2016. I knew what I wanted in a trainer and I found it with Kirk.

Most importantly, I needed inspiration and accountability. Kirk is a dedicated athlete and his commitment to a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle is infectious. He makes you want to be better and he takes the time in your initial meetings to understand what “better” means to you. He will hold you to that and kindly take you beyond what you thought was possible.

Kirk also respectfully commands accountability. Once a week, I report on my workout schedule and nutrition plan. He promptly reviews all of it and provides both positive and constructive feedback.

I have only worked with Kirk for 9 weeks but the results have far surpassed my expectations. I feel stronger and look better than I did when I was in my 20s. And the best part is I am genuinely excited every time I go to the gym. I am grateful for all of his guidance and inspiration.

Before signing on to work with Kirk, running was the only form of training I did. I knew that I wanted to get stronger, but I did not know where to start in terms of strength training and I hated the gym setting. Kirk changed that pretty quickly. In the past several months, I have gained significant strength without even realizing it was happening. He manages to challenge me in workouts, while still making sure I have a great time. I thought I’d always hate the gym setting, but I have grown to love it with Kirk’s help. I’ve never been stronger!

I've been searching for a trainer that can help me improve my running while maintaining my strength. I was about to give up on finding a trainer or coach who really understood my goals. After meeting with Kirk for a consultation, I knew he understood what I was looking to accomplish. Not only does Kirk understand my goals, he creates custom plans that revolve around my athletic events, no cookie cutter workout plans here. Kirk is very encouraging but will also hold you accountable to do the work.

I have been training with Kirk for the past year and my body immediately transformed after our workouts and changed food plan. I went down nearly 4 sizes in my clothes. I went from a suze 8 to 4 in just a few short months. I've been continuing to train with Kirk now into my third trimester of pregnancy and I'm still in amazing shape. Cannot wait to continue to train even after..highly recommend Kirk. He cares about your results and wants you to succeed in all aspects of life !

I've been working out with Kirk for over 7 months now and couldn't be happier. Over the last 5-7 years with an extremely busy travel schedule my fitness level really declined. In my 20s I was a gym guy going at least 5 days a week and now in my late 30s I was embarrassed that I let my self go a bit. I decided hiring a personal trainer was the motivation I needed to get back into shape (who wants to pay for something and not have it work?) Kirk was the perfect choice; he's a world class athlete with a very humble and supportive approach to personal training. He tailored my program for my busy schedule and understands that I may have trouble getting into the gym 4-5 days a week. I always look forward to working out with Kirk as every visit has fresh and new exercises and I know I'll leave our session feeling like I accomplished something. He pushes hard but always with a positive attitude. I've already seen huge gains in my short time working with Kirk and know there are more to come. Working with Kirk is worth every dollar and I would recommend him to anyone looking to change their life.

KDPT is what personal training should be: thorough, challenging, supportive, and never ever boring. Kirk listens to your goals, customizes an individual nutrition and workout plan to help you meet those goals, and is always there to motivate along the way. His workouts are tough, but attainable. In the 12 months that I have been his client, he has never led me wrong, and is the reason that I am finally shedding the weight that I have struggled with for 10 + years. I highly recommend him to anyone ready to make a change.

Kirk is an extremely talented and passionate trainer.

I decided it was time to get back into shape, so that my running hobby wouldn’t be so exhausting. Kirk has been an encouraging personal trainer from the start. Pushing me to go beyond what I think I am capable of. I continue to shed pounds as the weeks & months go by, as well as run faster and longer without needing walk breaks. His group training sessions at the gym are challenging, and non-repetitive so you stay interested and want to come back each week. I’m proud of myself for taking a chance, working with Kirk is fantastic & easy. I couldn’t be happier with my progress thus far!

Kirk is an incredible trainer and all around good person. You can see he really cares about his clients and does everything he can to motivate them to push themselves. I lovde the small group classes coming from being a team athlete, as it was more encouraging for me to work out with others. Kirk also helped me start a great eating program that has just become habit now. I would absolutely recommend Kirk- I mean, he is also not that bad to look at while he is yelling at you! haha But in all seriousness, money well spent.

I worked with Kirk on a 5 week plan and it was amazing. Kirk DeWindt offers the best possible experience in personal training.
Kirk's energy and passion is immediately apparent when you begin working with him, you aren't just a paycheck, he passionately cares that you get the most out of your time with him and that you meet the goals you both initially discussed.
Kirk will push you, if you listen to him and follow through you will be glad you did.
Sessions with Kirk aren't just workout sessions, he is giving you the tools you need to manage a healthy lifestyle and continue to chase after your goals. I would highly recommend Kirk to anyone who says they want to lose weight, get fit and lead a healthier lifestyle.

I worked with Kirk for a month through his online training. I wasn't sure what to expect and it turned out to be a great decision. Kirk was only an email away to answer any concerns....or to curse at when needed:) The workouts were easy to follow and very effective. I did all the workouts at home too, which is great for anyone who doesn't have a gym membership. Kirk is the way to go, he helped motivate me and kick start my weight loss journey.

I have been working with Kirk for approximately four months in a small group training format once per week; every workout is different which keeps it interesting and he has a great group of clients who I have enjoyed meeting and training with. He also provides a schedule of workouts to do on my own and nutrition advice if needed. Kirk is very real, has a great attitude, is very engaged with his clients, makes himself accessible to clients outside the gym, and wants to help each of us reach our personal goals. He is serious about fitness but doesn’t take himself too seriously!

He has definitely pushed me to try new exercises and I have been surprised by what I have been able to do with his encouragement and guidance in a short time. Developing upper body strength has always been a big challenge for me but within weeks of starting to work with Kirk, I began to lift heavier weights than I had ever been previously able to do. If you don’t want to work hard and be pushed to be your best, he may not be the right trainer for you as he doesn’t go easy; if you do want to reach new fitness goals and have a partner to help you see it through, get in touch with him!

I've been training with Kirk for over 4 months now. I have a background in ACE certified fitness instruction as well as multiple competitive sports including bodybuilding, so I'm extremely picky and rarely seek advice when it comes to the gym. Kirk's approach to workouts are unique & extremely effective. If you give your all with every session, you will see changes & you will get stronger. He has a great personality and develops workouts that you will not grow tired of. The variety is just what I need to stay motivated. I love the group training sessions. You will not regret a decision to train with Kirk.

I have been overweight most of my adult life, and I've never really known what to do to get rid of the weight. Every time I had tried to lose, I'd fall off the wagon and re- gain. Enter Kirk DeWindt. He helped me figure out a diet plan that works for me, and a workout plan that is challenging and effective. I never went to a gym because I felt out of place and uncomfortable, but I have never felt uncomfortable with Kirk. He's kind and knows exactly how to push me to do my best. He's helped me find success in weight loss, and I feel much better about myself! I HIGHLY recommend Kirk to anyone, whether they are looking to lose weight, or just wanting to build muscle tone. Kirk is the best!

I absolutely love working out with Kirk and I believe it's one of the best health investments I've ever made. I started working with him about 3 months ago and I've already lost 11lbs of my 20lb goal. He's extremely motivating - he is nice, but also tough enough that he doesn't just let you quit. I go twice a week and I've never once done the same workout twice. He's always mixing things up and it makes the workouts fly by. I am always surprised when the hour is already over. I would highly recommend Kirk to anyone. It's been an amazing experience and I couldn't say enough great things about Kirk.

I was introduced to Kirk DeWindt Personal Training by attending a group training session at the gym. From there I signed up for his online training program where I was given a 4-week workout and eating plan. Kirk tailored these plans specifically for me; taking into account my likes, dislikes, and how many times I would workout per week. Kirk checked in with me throughout the week to see if I needed help with anything or had any questions. Each Sunday when I reported my food and workout log to him he would email back with encouragement and motivating feedback. That accountability piece was key for me. In that first month I lost a good 10lb. After signing on for another online training month with him, I am currently down a total of 15lb!

Food has been my biggest struggle. Kirk's food plans aren't full of shakes and bars like many of the other diets out there require you to eat in order to lose weight...you can eat REAL FOOD and feel full! That has been one of my biggest takeaways; knowing a good portion size and having a variety of GOOD foods to eat in order to continue to maintain and lose weight.

I have also went in for a 1:1 personal training session with Kirk which left me sore for days! He definitely pushed me beyond what I thought was possible! Can't wait to return!!

I worked with Kirk for about 10 months to help me with my 90 day challenge and men's physique competition. Working with Kirk was one of the best decision I made for myself to help me get fit and get the results that I wanted. I lost 35lbs amd over 18% bf working with Kirk. I competed in my first Men's Physique competition and later changed my career as a trainer. It was a lifestyle and career transition for me and worth every dollar spent. I'd do it all over again if I had to.

Kirk is a dedicated personal trainer who truly believes in results. Having him available for motivation and questions about my fitness and nutrition is so invaluable. I've already lost 15 pounds and am on pace for even more improvement. He made is so easy to learn new exercises and follow his work out plan. Before getting on board with him, I just floated around the gym aimlessly. I now feel confident that I have a plan in place. Keep it up Kirk!

I trained with Kirk for 6 months with the goal of increasing my overall strength. Goal accomplished. I improved both my strength and capacity thanks to Kirk's workouts during which he always pushed me beyond what I thought I was capable of.

In August, I stepped on the scale, looked at the numbers flashing at me from below my feet & let out a big sigh. I had hit my all time highest weight & knew I needed to do something to get my health back on track. I needed to find a trainer who would challenge me, I needed a program that would help me with meal planning, without counting every calorie or point, but most of all I needed something that would be sustainable for life.

When I saw a tweet with a photo of Kirk showing one of his workout plans for a client I immediately checked out his website. What I read on his website detailing his program was EXACTLY what I was looking for & needed; guidance from Kirk with me taking the responsibility for the results I wanted.

After working with Kirk since the first week of September I'm 1/2 way to my total weigh loss goal, but more importantly, I've gotten stronger, developed a pattern of healthy workout behaviors while focusing on what food I'm putting into my body to fuel it each & every day.

I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone wanting to make a healthy lifestyle change to just take a few minutes & check out Kirk's website. Then, take the next step like I did & set up a consultation to meet with him in person.

If you are serious in your head as well as in your heart to honestly work hard for own sake & dedicate yourself to being healthier & stronger, Kirk is the trainer you will want to work with. I honestly couldn't be more pleased with the results & am so glad I took that first step to begin my new journey.

I was stuck in a rut with my fitness regimen and felt like I had plateaued in terms of seeing results. I tried everything from LA Fitness to CorePower to other personal trainers. Nothing was working for me in the way I wanted it to. A co-worker mentioned Kirk and that his friend really enjoyed his program & had seen really great results. In looking at his pricing, I was pleasantly surprised & instantly interested. You get so much more for your money with Kirk than with other trainers! He takes the time to meet with you for a 1-on-1 assessment to understand your goals, where you've been, what tends to work, what doesn't, etc... He then puts together a personalized plan for you including a tailored diet/meal plan, as well as a recommended fitness plan outside of working with him. I opted to workout with Kirk twice a week and it was the best decision I could've made in terms of jump-starting my results and starting to see changes in my body that I was SO longing for! In 4 months, I've lost weight, I'm stronger, lost inches, increased stamina & endurance, and all around feel better about myself. I feel like Kirk is exactly what I needed to get "re-energized" and back on the right path - he's motivating, keeps you in check & holds you accountable, but is also understanding when you're struggling or frustrated and is there to help. Plus, the workouts are never the same & they kick your @$$. You feel really accomplished leaving the gym. I'd highly recommend anyone seeking results to set up your first session with Kirk. You won't regret it.

It was about 3 months ago that I was less than happy with my body and at that time I had zero self-motivation to make a change. I decided it was time to get someone to hold me accountable. I started doing a little research online and came across Kirk's website and reviews. We arranged a quick meet & greet and assessed my fitness and life goals. From there Kirk sent me a tailored nutrition and personal workout plan along with kicking my butt twice a week in the gym. Kirk has really given me back my motivation and drive to make positive changes in my life. He really listens to what you want and will tell you exactly what you need to get there. Whether you want to be a bodybuilder or just build your confidence he can help you to achieve your goals. I couldn't give Kirk any higher praises!

A friend suggested Kirk to me as a trainer about three months ago and I've never looked back. Kirk is absolutely fabulous. Every day is a different workout so you never get bored and he adds in a healthy element of competition about once a month to help us track our progress and encourage us to continue to do our best.

I'm someone who has been overweight pretty much my whole life. I had tried a few diets, but sticking with it was my biggest problem. As part of the package, Kirk will put together a nutrition plan for you to help you learn how to eat best for whatever goal you're trying to accomplish. He also is really great about being there for you when you fall off the wagon (which does happen sometimes) and encourages you to pick it back up and keep trying. Kirk also will give "homework" for the days you don't meet with him to help you continue to progress towards your goals. So far, I'm down about 25 lbs from when I started with him and am really excited to keep going on this adventure.

It takes a lot of hard work and so far it has been a huge learning experience and exercise in stick-to-it-ive-ness but it has also been very rewarding. I would highly encourage anyone looking for a trainer to look into training with Kirk.

I've been training for Kirk just over two years now both in person and on-line.

Kirk is professional, personable, and above all else delivers results. In my 12 weeks working with him on a strength gain program, I was able to increase my weight by 10.5 lbs (8 lbs lean muscle mass). He constantly pushes me during workouts and checks in on me on days when I am working out solo to ensure my form and routine is on par with his expectations. Working with Kirk at Lion's Gym is also enjoyable. The entire staff and other gym goers are very welcoming and encouraging. If you need a trainer, choose Kirk.

I came to Kirk in February 2014. I had tried trainers before but never had the results I was looking for. I was still feeling "skinny fat" and I didn't like it. Once I started going to see Kirk, he took interest in what I was doing in and out of the gym. He put together a meal plan, workout routine and was a great accountability partner. He will push you even when you reach your first goal to continue like he did with me. I am now much stronger and feel better than I ever have! You must go see Kirk!!

I have been a competetive runner for many years. I ran in HS and earned a scholarship to run in college. I was the number 2 runner on a nationally ranked cross country team. After college I statred running marathons and half marathons. I ran my first marathon in 3:35. I ran 3 more full marathons with my best time being 3:28. I then took 15 years off from running full marathons as I was a busy mom with 3 kids. I still competed but nothing longer than a half marathon. Last year I decided to return to the full marathon. I ran it in 3:30.01. Recently my workouts were becoming stale and I felt like I needed a fresh start. I heard about Kirk on Twitter. I saw he was himself an individually ranked national runner which is no small feat. I hired Kirk and trained with him for just a little over a month before I raced a half marathon. Not only did I come in 17th out of 1,225 women, but I shaved off four minutes from my time from the same race when I ran it just a year before. I then decided I wanted to run another full marathon. I knew with Kirk's help I could possibly even run a PR. I trained with him for 3 months to get ready for it. With his guidance, not only did I set a PR beathing my time from the precvious year, but I also beat my times from when I was 15 years younger! I ran a 3:19.04. I could not have done it without Kirk's coaching. The workouts he gave me were outside of the box of any training I had done in the past. Kirk is an EXCELLENT coach. Hiring him was the smartest thing I have ever done for my running career. He knows how to incorporate the right amount of strength training into my workouts and he writes out weekly running workouts for me. He tells me how far, and how fast I need to run for everyday of the week. He wrote out a menu plan for me telling me what foods I should be eating. If I have a question during the week all I have to do is shooot him an email and he gets back to me right away. Not only is Kirk the BEST coach/personal trainer I have ever had, and I have an many, but he is a genuinely nice guy. He wants nothinng more than for you to succeed and reach your personal goals. He is a motivator. He has helped me rediscover my passion for running. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a novice to the gym, Kirk will do whatever he can to help you achieve your goals. If you are looking for the best, than Kirk is your guy:)

Frustrated? Wondering how you found yourself in the rut you are in? That was the way I was feeling last spring. Sometimes life just takes over and you find yourself lacking the momentum you once had. I was no stranger to hard workouts, but I needed some new inspiration and a new workout regimen. So, when a friend asked me to join in on her workout session with Kirk, I was in! Ugh, I was so out of shape! After my first session, I just knew Kirk was the person that would motivate me and reinvigorate my workout routine. He is encouraging in and outside of the gym, but he also pushes you to push yourself. Working out with Kirk is different as he invests and supports you in every aspect of your health and fitness to help you accomplish your goals. It isn’t just about the hour you workout with him in the gym that day. Whatever your fitness goals are, he gives you the tools to accomplish them. He provides meal plans to help you in the kitchen and extra workout plans to do on the days you aren’t working out together. Kirk’s approach makes you feel good about your investment. You get way more than just your workout time with him. You get the support you need in the other areas of your fitness that you just don’t find with other trainers! Take him up on your first free session. No workout is the same and I guarantee you will be hooked after day one!

I have been working with Kirk for over a year now and I am glad to say I'm in the best shape I have been in my life at 35 years old. I have lost over 20 lbs of fat and gained physique and muscle. Kirk takes the time to work with you on an individual level every workout is different every meal plan is different and that's what makes him different than other trainers. He tailors to your individual needs and that's exactly what I needed in order to succeed. I would recommend Kirk DeWindt personal training to anybody and everybody.

I've been working out with Kirk on and off for a few years now. Whenever I stop, I eventually find myself coming back for more. I've never ever done the same workout with Kirk as he's always ensuring his workouts are fresh and new! Because of Kirk, I'm now stronger than I was in college. I would recommend Kirk over and over again to individuals of all fitness levels!

I have been training with Kirk for a little over two years and am certain I am his only client who drives a little over 2 hours just to work out with him! He targets every single muscle in my body and no two workouts are ever the same!! In two years I have become so much stronger and increased my muscle mass as well as toning other areas that had been neglected. I have always placed a high priority on fitness and health and he has taught me so much that I feel very challenged every week and look forward to the hour I can spend learning from him! At 56 years of age, I hope to continue training with him as many years as possible!!

I've been training with Kirk for about four months now and he is just fantastic. He is such a great motivator and is always pushing me to want to do my best. I can honestly say that there hasn't been one training session that I wasn't looking forward to. He does a great job creating new workouts all the time and they are fun yet challenging and I always leave for the day feeling great. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

I came to Kirk while I was stuck in a 6-month plateau and just about ready to give up in reaching my goal if losing over 100lbs. He quickly changed that! I was sold about 5 minutes into my first session with him! I decided after the workout that day and talking to him that I needed to return. With his diet/workout plans, I was able to get to that 100lb. mark! He wants to know where you're coming from as far as your goals and what made you reach out to him and cares about you getting to your goals, he wants to be your friend. He's great at holding you accountable and he always checks in to see how you're feeling after one of his workouts which is something you don't normally get from a trainer! No workout is ever the same and I find myself always looking forward to one of his sessions!

Kirk has coached me through dozens of races including two marathons and countless half marathons. His individualized and custom training plans have led me to consistently drop my times for the last decade!

And, when I faced a life-changing injury that significantly hindered my mobility, Kirk modified my workouts to keep me in solid shape while protecting the parts of my body that needed a break. I felt I was in good hands all the way through!

I couldn't have done either of these things without Kirk's proven expertise, individual attention, and encouragement!

My first training session with Kirk was about a year and a half ago. My friend wanted to get in shape for her wedding and was looking for a personal trainer. She asked me to go with her and try out a free session with Kirk. Already belonging to a gym and working with trainers, I had absolutely no intention of changing things up. But after one session, I was blown away by how different he was from any other trainer I had ever been to. It's obvious he know fitness (I mean, look at the guy), but on top of that he is incredibly motivating, dedicated, and understanding of your goals and fitness levels. Every workout is different. Even when I was gone for weeks for work, he'd text to see how I was doing, offer up food suggestions, and assign me homework (aka workouts) to stay on track while away. He doesn't get paid to do these extra things, people. He's the real deal. Fast forward to present day...my endurance and strength is night and day compared to where I was when I first started with Kirk. Ever wanted to puke during a workout or feel the need to take frequent breaks? Yeah, that was me THEN. I don't know that person anymore. NOW I'm more fit than I've ever been and still surprise myself at the things I'm able to do. He has actually made me into a more honest person, too...I no longer have to lie about my weight on my driver's license!! For that, I (and the DMV) thank you :)

I’ve seen AMAZING results after training with Kirk for just a few months… within just 3 months of training two days a week, I reduced my body fat % by whopping 8.2 percentage points! Kirk’s approach is the perfect blend of encouragement, motivation, advice and the good ‘ol kick in the a$$ that we all need from time to time :) Not only do I love training with Kirk because of the incredible results I’m seeing, it’s also one of the things I most look forward to each week. I feel amazing after each workout and they are actually FUN... seriously. Kirk gets to know his clients on a personal level and truly considers them friends—not just a paycheck. He’s not just an awesome trainer, but a great guy. It is one of the best things I have done for myself – I would give 10 stars if I could!

I've been working out with Kirk for a year and a half with no plans of stopping. He has helped me in more ways than I can count and has a personalized plan for each client. He gives you great advice on what to eat (and what not to eat) and what exercises to do on your own if you need it. He can help you with any phase you're in - whether you are completely lost and need guidance or you are in shape, but want to get in even better shape. The small group training sessions are challenging and fun and I always leave feeling like I accomplished something that I never could've done on my own. I highly recommend Kirk!

Training with Kirk is seriously the best decision I've ever made for my health. He is positive, engaged, and super knowledgeable about everything fitness and nutrition. He not only trains you in the gym, but gives you workouts to do on your own and provides a customized nutrition plan. He works hard to make himself available to clients, and is always willing to listen and modify your plan if something's not right. When you top that off with totally reasonable rates, you can't afford not to train with Kirk. He helps you achieve your fitness goals, but more than that, he opens you up to peace of mind and self-confidence.

I started training with Kirk because I was in need of someone who would hold me accountable. Kirk has done that and more. I have been working out with Kirk for 2.5 years and in that time I have improved my fitness, noticed higher energy levels, and have more toned muscles. Additionally, my running speed and endurance have increased and I was able to cut 5 minutes off of my best 10-mile time. I lost, and have kept off, nearly 10 pounds without feeling like I have been doing an unsustainable amount of work. Kirk will put you through an efficient and effective workout, while being supportive and realistic. I have referred a handful of my friends to Kirk and I know they would give him glowing reviews as well.

Prior to working with Kirk, I had not been to a gym in 4 years. Kirk educated me on proper technique and inspired me to make significant lifestyle changes. Thanks to Kirk, I have gained 12 lbs of muscle in only 6 weeks. Whenever someone asks how I've accomplished this, I am excited to recommend them to Kirk!

I started training with Kirk about a year ago to get in shape before to my wedding and I have been coming back ever since. What I like about Kirk is how he mixes up your routines - it is never the same and you never get bored. There is a really great mix of strength training, cardio and circuits. He is also willing to help you craft your own fitness plans. In addition to the time we put in at the gym, he has given me a recommended list of foods and "homework" - what I need at my gym in between our sessions. It is true that how much time you put in outside of the gym is just as important as the time spent in. If you are willing to put in the work and do what Kirk recommends, you will see success.

I started working with Kirk in January. Kirk is a very fit, knowledgeable and dedicated trainer. My goals were to develop good muscle tone and to stay slender. I'm seeing definition that I've never had before! And, I no longer dread going to the gym. In fact, I look forward to it because I'm seeing results and Kirk makes training fun with workouts that are always changing. I would recommend Kirk to anyone!

As a post-collegiate, All-American 'trackee', my expectations for my workouts were always very high. I wasn't necessarily looking for a personal trainer, but I was looking for good advice on how I could improve my sweet workouts. Then Kirk came along. What can I say? He's friendly and smart, but I must say - the one thing that makes him a good trainer is his extreme PASSION. Go Kirk!

I came to Kirk with the goal of cleaning up my diet and shedding a few pounds. Kirk has been tenacious with his efforts to help me eat better and keep me consistent in the gym. He makes working out fun, and for the first time in my life I'm seeing results. I'd highly recommend anyone with weight loss and diet goals to see Kirk!

It has officially been 3 months of training with Kirk DeWindt twice a week. I highly recommend Kirk for personal training and am glad to endorse him for his knowledge in nutrition and overall healthy living.

So far: I have gained 10 lbs of muscle and increased a shirt size. Really pleased!
