Simply put, Xertion training for me has been a journey towards a better, healthier life. I never imagined myself to be a guy who would ever go to a personal trainer because I didn't want to have to pay someone to push me to do what I should already be doing. The Xertion experience is completely different from the stereotype. It is an education that is worth paying for and the quality of the experience depends on you. I learn something new every time I am there about myself, training, nutrition, discipline, flexibility, core strength and more. Chuck is a tremendous source of knowledge and uses that knowledge to create innovative methods of core training, flexibility, cardio, and stability training which yield a strength and confidence that you can carry with you every day. He cares about each client but requires all to understand the process to insure long term success. I am a better athlete and a better person because I am doing this.
Testimonials
Here are a few testimonials from our clients.
It's impossible for me to express my thoughts on Chuck. He's not simply a trainer. He doesn't simply kick your ass, and count the reps.
Chuck knows what he is doing, and exactly why he is doing it. He has a plan for his clients, that is well thought out, and executed with precision. There is nothing aberrant or haphazard about it. He brings new meaning to the words "strong, silent type". The time spent with Chuck will empower you, physically and mentally, even if you end up in the fetal position on the gym's floor. Which I do, often. But when I'm done, when I hear those words, "we are done", I always say thank you, and I mean it, straight from the core.
While it is difficult for me to be brief, at my age of 77.6 yo, I realize that today is not a dress rehearsal. This is it! It's not that "today is the first day of the rest of my life," but that NOW is all there is of my life. I had better live my best and act my best and think my best today; for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows that follow. I mean the word "NOW" like a bomb thrown through the window, and it ticks...!
To be candid, I say that yesterday is my cancelled check; tomorrow is my promissory note; and today is the only cash I have -- so I'm spending it wisely by training with Chuck Kirkland! That constitutes a very fine investment for me and the benefits I derive are too numerous to mention. Suffice it to say that since working with Chuck, I feel stronger physically, even mentally for he's taught me a good deal about myself and continues to impart his knowledge where approriate. I am thankful for his expertise and especially for his caring of my physical well-being. You simply know that you're enveloped in an attitude of continuing concern when working with him! I am younger today than I ever will be again. I will therefore make use of it for the sake of my tomorrows...with Chuck!!
