“Healing Strength Personal Training not only changed my body image but changed my life!”

“When I began my weight loss journey with Healing Strength Personal Training I was 220 lbs. and a size 22. I had difficulty breathing, my energy level was zero and my body ached from carrying all the excess weight around. With the inspiration, motivation and guidance I received from Healing Strength, my weight dropped 52 lbs. and I was a size 14. Throughout this process I learned not only how to eat nutritionally and train properly but also the importance of drinking plenty of water and the significance of not just losing weight but losing actual body fat. Healing Strength Personal Training not only changed my body image but changed my life. Today I don't live to eat but I eat to live and I feel great. I greatly appreciate all that Healing Strength has done for me because now I will be able to live and enjoy a longer life. ”

"I was amazed at what these changes did for my confidence and how much better I felt just going through the day."

I came to Healing Strength Personal Training hoping to become a bit more educated and encouraged to live a healthy and active life. I was just out of college, working my first 9 to 5, living on fast food and frozen dinners, and working too much. Six months later I was the heaviest I've been in my life and felt terrible; I knew something had to change and the longer I waited the harder it would be. While the idea of a healthy lifestyle seemed simple enough: eat healthy foods and exercise, attempting to incorporate these changes into my life was a surprisingly daunting task. It was a struggle to find reliable and consistent information on the internet for my new lifestyle so I sought out the help of a personal trainer to point me in the right direction and get me comfortable in a gym environment.

I gave Kennett a call, set up a consult and came with a very long list of questions. As an engineer I want to be told what to do, when to do it and why I'm doing it. This is exactly what I got, and then some. I wasn't looking for someone to yell at me for 30 minutes and scare me into working hard. Working with Kennett was always comfortable and I was consistently pushed to my physical boundary without ever feeling unsafe. I was working with Kennett three days a week and started to see major differences when I looked in the mirror. I was amazed at what these changes did for my confidence and how much better I felt just going through the day. Driving home and feeling great after a hard workout with Kennett became something I looked forward to and even though I went after a long day at work I never once made an excuse not to go. It was fun and even after nearly a year I still enjoy "my time" in the gym. I'm on my own now but can walk into any gym and know exactly what I should be doing, how to safely and effectively do it, and without worrying about what the people around me are doing.

I would highly recommend Healing Strength Personal Training to anyone looking to improve themselves but may feel overwhelmed and not know where to start. While Kennett will not do the work for you, and it won't always be easy, you will get what you put into it. For me, I put all that I had into it and what I've gotten back I can't quantify, but will stay with me forever. Thanks Kennett for everything!

"CANNOT BEAT THE PRICE IN CHARLOTTE!! I LOOKED, SO TRUST ME."

I love that you change things up every day, so it presents me more with a challenge. I love all the information and magazines you provide for clients. I have never seen that with anyone before, so it makes me feel as though I am not some number. The classes are fun and challenging, but doable. He knows his stuff, and he does a good job of making sure you are doing the moves right, so you get the most out of each workout. CANNOT BEAT THE PRICE IN CHARLOTTE!! I LOOKED, SO TRUST ME.

"It would be a wise decision to invest in his services."

I like the family atmosphere of the women’s boot camp and how each one helps and support one another, how Kennett really does care about each woman in his boot camp and really takes it personal to help them achieve their goals. It would be a wise decision to invest in his services, it will definitely be worth your while and you won’t regret it.

"I am definitely getting stronger and my stamina has increased."

Hi Kennett,

I wanted to let you know that I went white water rafting this past weekend and am very excited to report that I was physically able to keep up all day. I spent all day on the river paddling, swimming, jumping, climbing rocks, etc and never ran out of steam. I was able to pull my own weight the entire day even when we had to carry the raft uphill at the end of trip which I would not have been able to do a month ago. I have not really seen any progress on the scale or the way that my clothes fit me but I am definitely getting stronger and my stamina has increased and it felt great not having to say "I can't do this", I was able to do it all with no problem. Well except maybe a little tough carrying the raft uphill but I did it without complaint, damn that raft was heavy! I also know that in the past if I spent the day on the river my arms and back/sides would have been incredibly sore and I did not have that happen this time.

The boot camp has really made a difference and I am glad that I am part of your team! Thanks for all of your hard work to help us ladies change our lives!

"The environment is professional and enjoyable!"

It’s a positive environment and there is motivation that all the ladies provide. Not only do you have motivation from the staff but the other boot campers as well. The environment is professional and enjoyable.

"One of the best trainers anyone could have!"

I like the fact that Kennett is so patient & always willing to come back and explain what’s what, he’s very energetic and funny. You are one of the best trainers anyone could have!

"WOW, I made it thru the 21 day fitness boot camp!"

"I knew it was time for me to make a change just for me. It wasn't easy but I enjoyed it and it worked. I got up every morning at 5am to get myself and my grandson ready in the mornings. I got him off to school and I was on my way to my fitness class @ 6:30am then off to work after that only to start it all over the next day. I didn't think I would make it but I decided to commit myself. Sometimes we feel we don't do anything for ourselves and I seized this opportunity. Kennett showed me how to work out for the best results and also advised me on nutrition to work on my goals. I lost 7 pounds, 2 inches in my waist and 2 % body fat. I am so proud of me! I worked really hard but I couldn't have done it without Kennett. I plan on continuing my work out regime and I will refer all my friends to the Healing Strength Personal Training classes. If I can do it, so can you!

“[Kennett's] expert guidance and support has helped me achieve a better health and wellness approach!”

“I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2002. I found out about boot camp from a co-worker. I have been going about 4 months now; I can tell a difference in myself. My doctor has advised me to use movement as therapy. The Women’s Fitness Boot Camp has helped me tremendously with more energy, strength & mentally with everyday stress. Kennett, is a great trainer and a great person. His expert guidance and support has helped me achieve a better health and wellness approach.”

Thank You Kennett,

“The power and knowledge behind Kennett's consult & assessments is what changed her life...”

“ I had a car accident in 2004 and the chiropractor I was seeing Dr. Trexler @ Healing Touch Chiropractic referred me to you. I just wanted to share with you that after having the assessment with you a few years ago; it was always in my mind that I needed a personal trainer. I couldn't sign up with you because of financial reasons but after my settlement I did obtain a trainer out here in AZ and it's been going great. Only after exercising and strength training I got stronger and do not have daily back pain as before. Occasionally I feel some discomfort, but nothing like before. So thank you for doing what you are doing. Even though I didn't have an opportunity to train under your supervision if it hadn't been for you and your work, I may have never taken that route. Again, thank you for going into your field and pursuing your passion! If I hadn't met with you, or even Dr. Trexler, I may not have taken this route at this time. You guys really planted a seed!”
Good luck to you, Tonya Singh

“I have dropped about 10% body fat and still dropping!”

“About 2 years ago I had to have back surgery. After the surgery my moving around was limited.  I gained weight very fast. When my doctor finally released me I heard of the "boot camp" from a co-worker. We went together and participated after I saw that everything was alright with my back. I began to eat right and walk even more after boot camp each day.  So far I am very pleased with the results from boot camp. Washington & I have talked several times about healthy foods to eat. I'm losing weight and toning up at the same time. I have dropped about 10% body fat and still dropping.  This program and Washington has helped me so much.  He has taken an individual approach toward all candidates. I feel he has gone beyond his duty to help in any way for us to meet our goals.  All candidates are there for the same reason and that is to better themselves. With the boot camp and its support, our goals are in sight.  I would highly recommend this program because it's at a fast pace and results will come.  Be patient and work hard. ”
Sincerely, Wanda Johnson

“Kennett is the best!”

“ His awesome style of training has given me the edge over many of my opponents. I have improved my time in the forty-yard dash and quickness in lateral movements on the field. I have also increased my total over-all body strength by 25%!”

“Kennett is by far the best personal trainer that I have ever known!”

“Kennett is by far the best personal trainer that I have ever known. In fact, to call him a personal trainer is an understatement. His knowledge of the human frame and biomechanics and how to optimize the function of it surpasses most physical therapists. I have experienced his unique style of training and was impressed by his multifaceted approach to integrated core training. He has worked with me personally to help me achieve champion status in several elite competitions. As a chiropractic doctor I entrust my patients to his care. I refer to Kennett my patients that need intense neural pathway re-education and muscle coordination rehab. I highly recommend him.”

“After 3 months of working with Kennett, my back became strong and pain free!”

"I had been to chiropractors and doctors for over a year after a back injury with not much improvement. After 3 months of working with Kennett, my back became strong and pain free. He is skilled, trustworthy, knowledgeable, caring, and truly a fine human being."

"As soon as my doctor clears me, I will definitely be back!"

I don't know if you remember me. I had made up my mind to attend the boot camp. In the midst I had trouble/pain with my feet. I went to my orthopaedic doctor, who determined that my arch had fallen, and that I had torn ligaments. I eventually had an MRI for further determination. As a result I had surgery on Oct. 4th on my left foot. He repaired my arch, fused bones, made an incision in my heel bone, repaired my leg tendon, revised my lower leg tendon, and revised my calf tendon. I have three incisions, and my recovery is non-weight bearing. I contacted you prior to surgery to see if I could still attend boot camp, and you advised me to follow my doctors orders. Of which I'm glad I did, and I appreciate that you advised me well. I just read the message below, and once again became inspired. As soon as my doctor clears me, I will definitely be back. If I can't start out in boot camp, I would like personal sessions, as I desire to be healthy and fit, more so than ever. I will look at the videos, and Jackie is blessed to have you in her corner and her life. God bless you young man, for your dedication to well being of others.
