"I first came to Kurt and Private Trainer at Home a couple months before my wedding.  I didn't think he'd really be able to get me in shape for my strapless wedding dress, but I was willing to try anything.  Kurt kicked my butt 3 times a week and completely changed my diet.  In 5 short weeks I was looking slimmer and more toned and felt fabulous on my wedding day!  Thanks Kurt!"

"As an inactive teen weighing 283 pounds with a 42 inch waist, I was lost and did not even know where to start on losing weight. I decided to get personal training to help guide me and was lucky enough to find Kurt. Kurt showed me how to eat healthy, do the right exercises with that fit my goals to lose weight, and really pushed and motivated me, something no one had ever done before.

Kurt gave me the path to success with my own workout plan, and following it turned out to be the best decision of my life. Now, one year later, weighing 185 pounds with a 34 inch waist, my life has drastically improved. I surf, run, train in mixed martial arts, and wear clothes I never thought I could ever fit and look good in. I never thought life could ever be this good. Kurt Knisell showed me what I really was made of, and what I could accomplish. "

- Raju C.

"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 bar 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 Private Trainer at Home  is phenomenal."

"Over the last five years we have found Kurt to be an invaluable resource. His expansive knowledge of nutrition and understanding of the benefits of physical training allow him to customize personal training programs. He is capable of adapting our programs to accommodate physical injuries and limitation. "

"I always thought I could train myself. I was wrong. Since I have been training with Private Trainer at Home, 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."
