In a fitness driven city where hundreds of individuals are fitness trainers it is difficult to identify the truly elite personal trainer. In my opinion, Kevin Squalls has earned the title of elite personal trainer. His fitness sessions are taxing and high energy but what makes him exceptional is that they are personalized sessions tailored to one's energy level on any given day. We all like to think that we bring our "A game" every time we work out with our trainer but we each know that the stressors of work and family can undermine that "A game" feeling. I had one of those days and Kevin spontaneously altered my planned training session. In its place he created a substitute session on the spot that required strength, focus, and was challenging. The training session he designed responded to the fact that I needed a slow start but wanted to eventually conclude in an uptempo, competitive posture. The components of the session were unique and did not rely on "old standards" of fitness training. I suggest that if you are interested in truly personal training that reflects where you are athletically and your desire to take it to another level that you contact Kevin Squalls. It will be a personalized journey to ultimate fitness.
"I've been working with Kevin for over three years now. I've never had a more inventive, engaging or committed trainer. His workouts while challenging never stray from my focus, which is to feel good and to be functionally fit. With Kevin, I may not be training to run a marathon or climb a mountain, but I feel ready for whatever life throws at me."
-Ann F, Business Manager
"Kevin really makes training, personal. He cares about what he does and the people that he works with, and it makes all the difference. When the stresses and demands of work and life become overwhelming, you can trust that he will be there with the support that you need to stay focused on achieving your goals. He is extremely skilled at turning a limitation into an advantage."

"If you want results, I highly recommend training with Kevin! His knowledge of the body and how it is impacted by the way you train and the foods you eat truly is amazing. The unique exercises you will do paired with the fast results will keep you motivated more than you can imagine. He knows exactly how to get the most out of each workout and you will realize this from the second you start training with him. Not one second in the gym will be wasted. The customized workouts tailored to your goals are original, unique, and most importantly productive. You will do exercises you never knew existed, keeping each workout different from the last. His workouts will be leaving you feeling energized and confident and I highly recommend training with him!"

"As a competitive gymnast for ten years, I always turned my nose up at the thought of personal trainers. To me, they were just there to provide the basics for people who didn't know how to exercise properly (or yell at you to do "ONE MORE!"), and after years of gymnastics, I figured I had the basics down pretty well. That is, until I neglected my training routine for a couple years and found myself with ten extra pounds, muscle that gone soft, and a lack of motivation that bordered on couch-potato-ism. I could immediately identify with Kevin and his dance background, and his approach to my fitness and goals made me realize that he wasn't going to be one of those trainers who yelled to motivate, but rather, motivated by encouragement and helping me to realize that "yes I can" do it.
I've been training with Kevin for two years now, and with his help, have dropped the ten extra pounds and several inches, along with 7% of my body fat. But most importantly, I've re-learned ways of training - along with some surprising new tricks - that make sense for my body type and background. I know my plan was personally tailored just for me, and isn't a cookie-cutter routine; if I'm feeling low-energy on a certain day, we adapt - or as Kevin says, "Where you are on any given day is where you should be." I've gained incredible amounts of motivation, and training is something I look forward to, as I know I'll always feel better, strong and confident, afterwards. It's truly changed my life!"

Kevin has a remarkable ability to assess the relative weak points of each of his students and to create customized programs to specifically address those needs.
In my case, Kevin observed that I was favoring my tight calves during our workouts, so he set aside time to show me how to use a foam roller in order to work out the knots in my tight muscles.
After a few days of practicing his techniques I was experiencing muscle flexibility and pain relief that went above and beyond anything that I was able to achieve through months of yoga classes.
Whether we realize it or not, we all have unique (and in my case unidentified) weak points that are keeping us from performing to the best of our abilities. Kevin has the experience and knowledge to interpret these needs and create programs that address them in a focused and result oriented manner that allow you to reach your maximum potential"

""I loved working with Kevin when I was pregnant! Through each trimester, he developed a great exercise regimen that helped me stay strong and energized. He is a gentle soul which was so comforting when my pregnancy hormones went into full gear and I started to get nervous about the delivery. He was extremely professional, very innovative in his training methods, supportive and
encouraging. I would recommend him to any new moms or moms to be who want to stay in shape during their pregnancy."

"Kevin is the best trainer I ever had. He truly understands the interactions of all of the muscle groups. This understanding allows him to modify and personalize your workout. These modifications optimizes your workout. Other trainers have set workout that they believe are suitable for everyone. Kevin puts the time, energy and thought process into developing and modifying your workout so that it is what is best for you. Money well spent!!!!!

"I am a former client of Kevin Squall. He trained me for over a year. I've had many different trainers. Some of them have been very good, but Kevin has been the best. Kevin was not only my personal trainer but also my mentor in fitness. He helped me get the most out of my workouts; achieve my fitness goals and desires. His focus is amazing, tracking my posture, process, and performance with every session. He encouraged me and made me believe that I could do one more rep. "You can do it" become our mantra. His workouts and techniques are very unique and creative, as he orchestrates a program design to target each muscle group and maximizes performance. His dedication to excellence has motivated and challenged me to restructure my workouts making the gym experience more rewarding. I consider Kevin a great trainer and a great friend."
