About Kyle Rourke
General
My journey as a fitness enthusiast began in high school when I received training in body building from a weight training teacher at my high school. After high school I joined the Marines for four years, followed by five years in the Army. In the military I excelled in fitness.
After leaving the military, I witnessed a phenomenon in the civilian fitness centers, people who work-out almost everyday but there bodies did not change. This motivated to become a personal trainer and I earned my first certification. For the past six years, I have worked hard to learn the best workout procedures and the safest programs available in the fitness industry.
I know that results are achieved by setting goals and applying continuous effort in that direction regardless of life's ups and downs. I believe in leading by example and here are my accomplishments that qualify me to be your instructor.
