What Clients Say
Joe Schmelzer
“Kyle is not one for traditional “one size fits all” training. He assessed my ability, condition, training age and goals and truly tailored a program to not only push me, but that I will be able to sustain over a lifetime. He is constantly revising and adapting the program based on needs, wants and abilities." 💡 The Process "Even though I’ve always been dedicated to health, Kyle helped me realize I didn’t need to be perfect all the time—it’s okay to deviate slightly from the plan without falling apart. The human connection and community around the coaching process made it genuinely enjoyable. Kyle keeps me accountable, motivated, and engaged while making the experience fun." 💪 The Results - "Improved mobility and full range of motion in countless movements." - "Fine-tuned nutrition, leaving me (someone over 50!) looking closer to 30—so I’m told!" - "Achieved milestones like full-extension pull-ups." ⏱️ Why Remote Coaching Worked "I travel frequently and spend months away from Los Angeles, but Kyle’s app ensures I stay consistent with personalized workouts tailored to my available equipment and location. It’s peace of mind knowing I can always stay on track." 📝 3 Words to Describe It "SMART. MOTIVATIONAL. REALISTIC." 📢 If You’re Hesitant "There’s never a “right” time to start—NOW is the time! The journey never ends, but Kyle makes it easier to keep going."

"I have never been one to stick to any sort of fitness regimen before. Not because I haven't wanted to, but for a variety of other reasons; I get bored, feel lost, get discouraged, don't see or feel any results, etc. When I started with Kyle, I promised myself that I would follow his exercise/health/nutrition guidelines as best as I could for 6 months, without questioning any of it (which is very difficult for me, because I'm a control freak). Fast forward around 4-5 months into Kyle's programming, I had never felt physically or mentally better in my life. Fast forward 8-10 months into his programming, I was seeing changes in my body that I had assumed my body wasn't capable of, because I had never been able to reach those goals before, no matter how hard I had tried. What I love about Kyle's programming is that he not only understands that every body is different, but that every brain is different, as well. I like fitness because it makes me feel better physically and mentally, but I don't necessarily want to dedicate my life to being in the gym all of the time. I also want fitness to be fun for me, something I can look forward to, not a stressor in my life. Kyle completely understands all of this, encourages it, and his programming for me reflects that. Kyle provides a beyond-comfortable environment. He listens, encourages, motivates, understands, and above all, he really cares about the health and wellness of your body, brain and overall being. If you're looking for someone to guide you into a healthier lifestyle, whether you're someone who's never even heard of fitness before, or someone who has very specific health and fitness goals, Kyle is your guy. Once you begin working with him, you'll never look back. I promise!"

"I have been working with Kyle for over a year now and he is awesome! I have hit two major goals during that time (push-ups on my toes and chin-ups) and I’m working toward a pull-up. Not only have I gained strength, but my muscle tone is more defined. I have triceps now! Besides helping guide me in my fitness journey, Kyle is amazing at helping with overall life goals too. He listens without judgement and offers suggestions (without mansplaining) on maybe how to approach something differently. I love the training because it is challenging but also allows room for rest and recovery and it is flexible with your schedule. You make it work for you. Kyle is communicative with me about my goals and if something isn’t working, we work together to find a different solution. Also, I do the training in a different state and it works beautifully! I honestly think Kyle was born for this job. He is excellent at it!"

A friend recommended Kyle, and I’m so glad they did." 💡 The Process “Kyle gave me structure and accountability—something I’d been missing.

"Fitness isn’t just about working out; it’s about learning, growing, and regaining parts of yourself you thought were lost. Kyle made that possible for me." 💡The Process "When I started working with Kyle, I was overwhelmed by conflicting fitness advice and a history of injury from improper guidance. Kyle simplified everything, teaching me proper form, technique, and how to eat for my body and goals. He helped me break through plateaus, build confidence, and adopt habits that improved not just my fitness but my overall well-being. One of the most surprising moments was overcoming my fear of running. With Kyle’s expert guidance, I trained for and completed a 5k alongside my wife—a goal I thought was impossible after past injuries." 💪 The Results - "Increased muscle mass and reduced body fat." - "Enhanced strength, endurance, and energy levels." - "Boosted confidence, reduced stress, and an overall sense of well-being." - "Reclaimed a love for running, completing a 5k injury-free!" ⏱️Why Remote Coaching Worked "As a busy professional and parent, remote coaching gave me the flexibility to integrate fitness into my schedule seamlessly.

Mary Boyd
"Fitness is no longer something I think about only when I’m frustrated or overwhelmed—it's an active, positive part of my life, thanks to Kyle." 💡 The Process “Before working with Kyle, I felt lost at the gym. I didn’t know how to build a workout, set goals, or even prioritize fitness in my life. Kyle’s coaching made fitness enjoyable and manageable. He celebrates every win, big or small, and makes you feel like you're in it together. Beyond workouts, Kyle's program is comprehensive. I came in thinking we would just be exercising a few times a week, but we focused on nutrition, sleep, and creating a fitness plan that fits into my life. This all-in approach was a game-changer for me.” 💪 The Results - “From struggling to squat an empty bar to squatting over 200 lbs!” - “Successfully ran my first half marathon within my target pace, thanks to a tailored training plan.” - “Gained confidence in fueling, training, and resting my body properly.” ⏱️ Why Remote Coaching Worked “Kyle’s flexibility and understanding made it easy to fit fitness into my schedule. He tailored the program to my needs and made adjustments along the way so I could stay on track, no matter what.” 📝 3 Words to Describe It “Customized. Understanding. Comprehensive.” 📢 If You’re Hesitant “Kyle will meet you exactly where you are. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, he will take the time to understand your goals, lifestyle, and mindset, and craft a program you actually want to follow.” 🏋️♀️ Final Thoughts "Working with Kyle has transformed my understanding of fitness. I used to bounce between trendy workouts and restrictive diets, only to burn out. Kyle has shown me that fitness is about realistic goals, proper fueling, and empathetic support. This experience has given me more empathy for myself, persistence when learning new skills, and confidence that extends far beyond the gym."
Austin Santangelo
"Strength training is no longer intimidating—it's something I actually look forward to now." 💡The Process “Before starting with Kyle, I had been moving between gyms without consistent coaching. Progress toward my goals was happening, but it was slower than I wanted. Kyle's program changed that. I gained valuable knowledge about exercises, proper form, and, most importantly, confidence to push myself safely during strength training. Kyle also introduced me to the power of tracking macros, particularly protein intake. I used to only track calories, which never gave me the results I was after. Once I hit my protein goals consistently, I saw noticeable muscle growth and body composition improvements.” 💪 The Results - “Significant increase in muscle mass” - “Increased confidence and pride in my body composition” - “Feeling happier and more comfortable in settings like the beach” ⏱️Why Remote Coaching Worked “The fun and light atmosphere Kyle creates made gym sessions something I actually look forward to—not the chore it used to feel like. While I do best with in-person coaching, I’m looking forward to building consistency when away from LA this year.” 📝3 Words to Describe It “Fun. Rewarding. Challenging (in a good way).” 📢 If You’re Hesitant “If you're new to strength training or struggling with accountability, this program is a must-try. Having a structured program and schedule takes the guesswork out of the gym and makes the entire process far less intimidating.” 🏃♂️ Final Thoughts “The combination of strength training and nutrition Kyle provides has yielded results beyond my expectations. I'm excited to stay on track and continue seeing progress!”
