"Anthony's passion for health and fitness, as well as his expertise, support, and dedication to his work, has been such a blessing for me. Not only has he inspired me to become a better person spiritually, he has given me strength, power, and speed physically. Anthony has changed my life, and I feel like I can accomplish the impossible."

"I chose Anthony as my Health and Exercise Therapist primarily because I was impressed with this holistic approach to health and wellness. Strength training has been only one element of the program he designed for me. Anthony's method has been instrumental in preserving my health through a medical crisis, due in part to his rational nutritional perspective. His knowledge, unending patience and tenacious belief in an intelligent system of self-improvement have inspired me to further educate myself beyond traditional models of wellness."

"About one year ago, I broke my ankle in an accident. At that time I hired Anthony Baron Kirk to be my personal trainer. He exhibited more knowledge than the physical therapist I was working with. I now enjoy skiing, basketball, tennis, golf, and many other activities." Tom Peterson (Father and Professional)

I come from a background in fitness and have taught yoga and been a trainer to many, but over a year ago I was at work moving large boxes and instantly began to have low back pain.  I was training for Hood to Coast, a 197 mile marathon, I was running and training aggressively, eventually the pain caught up with me and I could no longer ignore that something was definitely not OK.  My low back pain turned into horrible sciatic pain down my right leg causing numbing in my right foot.  After being diagnosed with a slipped disc I began doing intensive chiropractic decompression and massage therapy.  I continued to try running against the Doctor's warnings and eventually made myself so incapacitated I could barely move.  I have never felt so helpless, fitness was my forte, I should've know how to fix and strengthen my own body, but I couldn't.  I got to the point where i didn't dare do anything for the fear of causing more problems.  For the first time in my life I thought about getting a personal trainer but because of my background I didn't want just anyone.  I had my eye on a few I had been watching for the last few years at the facility I trained at.  Anthony really stood out to me, he came from the same fitness background that I had and he had a personal philosophy of treating the body as a whole.  The combination of Anthony's assessments, training, and Pilate's background helped me find my core.  I have never had a strong core and Anthony was able to guide me on how to find the strength from within to support and control all of my movements, which I thought I knew but he was able to guide me and help me feel it more intrinsically.  I am grateful for his knowledge, intuition and passion for complete health and wellness.
