  • Our individualized classes are completely progressive – meaning we teach you everything you need to know to safely move without pain and effectively train with weights: whether bodyweight, kettlebells, sandbags or more
  • We take great pride in being a “movement first” based system – meaning our first priority is safety and to help you develop excellent form
  • Most people who start our classes have never touched a weight or were previously injured and want to be safe while lifting weights and living life stronger

  • GET STARTED if you *think* you ARE ready
How will BKS help me look better, feel better AND be all around healthier?
  • The first step is to get to know you and find out if we can help
  • From there we can determine a course of action
  • Once we know exactly where you are, we can build a map that is individual to you
  • Then it’s up to you
I’ve tried group classes before, how is BKS different?
  • Most programs have a one size fits all approach where the instructor just ‘leads’ the class through the paces without emphasizing form or safety
  • It’s almost impossible to get results that way, which is why we cater to the individual needs of each and every person who walks in our doors with an orientation
  • Even in a group setting, we can have a complete beginner next to an advanced trainee and everyone can be challenged appropriately
  • Everyone will be shown exactly what they need to do
  • Our training system offers and enables a blended approach of group and personal training by allowing you to pick the price level and approach that works best for you

  • It’s not all physical and so, we will address your mindset and navigate the ups and downs life can throw at you by managing your workout intensity based on what’s actually going on in your life

What are the differences between your offerings?
  • Restorative Classes are designed to help you move without pain, and we have ‘rehabbers’ who do these exclusively, or students who attend on their off days from Group Class
  • Group Classes are designed as a Total Body Experience to help you get it all done in an hour or less, and we recommend at least 2 – 4 sessions a week
  • Semi-Private Sessions are more specialized and Individualized to a specific need the student has
  • Private Sessions are completely tailored to what you want to accomplish and many students use them as a ‘tune-up’
  • Distance Coaching is for folks who like our approach, but can’t be here all the time, and so they check in once a month or so, we build the program and support from a distance
  • Online Coaching is for those who aren’t in our vicinity, but still want to get the same benefits as our in house students
  • Life Coaching is for people who ‘feel stuck’ and ‘wish they could change’ but don’t know how, and it can be done: in person, on the phone, Skype or other form of communication deemed appropriate
