I use large ground based compound movements that ignite a huge metabolic response from your body.  Your body moves and works as a fully enclosed unit all day long so why would you go to the gym and only train a few muscle groups? Studies have shown that exercises like deadlifts, squats, vertical presses, snatches, or swings, fire up the metabolism to create a 24 hour fat burning effect.  That’s right… your body will keep burning fat up to 24 hours after your workout has ended! I train people with a simple functional approach that produces results.

 

• 1999 Sioux Falls Augustana College graduate.  BS in Bs Admin, Soc, Psych. 
• I’ve been in a gym lifting, training, and learning about fitness since 1992.
• After living in Mineapolis, Mn for 5 years my wife (Tricia) and I moved home to Sioux Falls, SD where I started Results Personal Training out of a spare bedroom in our house.  Over the course of time it slowly evolved into Sioux Falls’s first private training studio with 2000 sq. ft, of kettlebells, power racks, free weights, a slosh pipe, and many other fun implements.  
• Former competitive powerlifter
• After tearing my left tricep and being forced into early retirement from powerlifting, I discovered kettlebells with some encouragement from Brad Nelson, RKC.  And in 2009 I earned my Hardstyle Kettlebell certification.
• In 2010 I went on and earned my RKC.
• In 2011 I earned my CK-FMS and became the first kettlebell functional movement specialist in South Dakota.
• In 2012 I was an assistant instructor at the RKC certification course.  I also earned my Primal Move Instructor certification as well as StrongFirst Girya kettlebell certification.  I am South Dakota's most Senior ranked kettlebell instructor.
• I’ve had clients range in age from 10 to 75, who's goal range from weight loss, pagaentry, increasing a vertical leap, and just fitting into smaller jeans.  

My philosophy was created after my experience in powerlifting and kettlebell training.  I believe in training your body the same way you live.  I use basic compound movements that get your whole body working as a complete system.  The more muscles in use, equals the higher the chance for progress. The RKC and FMS taught me how to help trouble shoot weak links, and apply a system of progression to avoid injury and help ensure success.
