Who is Kurt Gordon?

-

IF THERE were ever an individual that was singularly driven to excellence by dedication and commitment, it would be Kurt Gordon. Although forcefully built like a truck – hence his alias ‘Truk’, which, by the way, is also his name spelt backwards – the guy is positively an introvert who you would ordinarily mistake in a roomful of persons for an altar boy.

So who really is Kurt Gordon?

Kurt is an extremely passionate person when it comes to health and fitness. He has a mission to motivate and encourage individual­s towards a more positive, healthy, active lifestyle by raising awareness on the importance of physical health.

He has a bachelor of arts in computer science and a natural talent for graphic design. Kurt has worked in the world of graphics for more than six years. However, the love for fitness was a pull for him and it allowed him to attain a certificat­e from the Aerobics and Fitness Associatio­n of America. Upon attaining this certificat­ion, he began personal training as a hobby, gaining the encouragem­ent and respect from his clients and colleagues. At the start of 2016, he moved to Canada and pursued his passion for fitness on a whole new level by attaining a second personal training certificat­ion from Canada Fitness Profession­als (CanFitPro). Kurt’s goal is to improve his clients’ range of motion, practical strength, and cardiovasc­ular fitness. If you are a novice, he hopes to prepare you for an upward swing towards your best fitness level. If you are experience­d, he hopes to help you push past your boundaries. He believes that it is our will that dictates our abilities. He wants to constantly refine your workouts together and will rely on your feedback to make your experience the best it can be.
