“Since I began implementing the supportive nutrition and training programs I've seen nothing but positive results. I can directly attribute being less stressed and having more energy to working with PFC. I wouldn't exactly say I'm "annoyed" with the physical changes I've been noticing in the mirror either. I was very pleased with my progress after the first reassessment and am really looking forward to seeing what this next round of training produces.”
- Sebastian Carter
"Kyle Battis was able to set me up on an individualized, long-term work out routine that was challenging and flexible. He incorporated strength training with balance training while working on several muscle groups at one time. I made great use of my time in the gym to achieve the results I expected. Kyle made sure that I understood how the exercise routine would help me achieve my fitness goals."
- Beth Raymond
“I'm absolutely thrilled about the progress I've made in under six months working with Kyle. I can look at my arms and see they're more lean. What's more, I've lost weight. I attribute all of this to my increased resistance training and more balanced eating. I'm short on time like most people, and I needed a program whereby I could squeeze just two or three 15-minute strength training work outs in each week, but still see progress. Kyle did this for me and never judged me because all I was willing to commit to was 15 minutes.
What I also like about our relationship is Kyle's quick response whenever I call or email him. Even better, he's constantly reaching out to me to see how I'm doing and if I have any questions. It really helps to know there is someone else out there that can answer my questions quickly and provide positive reinforcement, even when I'm having an off day. One of Kyle's greatest strengths is his ability to create a custom fitness and nutrition program for his clients that actually fit within the limited time constraints and lifestyle hurdles that most of us have.
Thanks Kyle. I've never felt stronger.”

“I began working with Kyle in the Summer of 2002 because I was told by my Doctor that I have dangerously high blood pressure. I weighed 225. I should have been an NFL running back. At five foot eight inches tall, that was not going to happen. Kyle made an immediate and honest evaluation and put together a work-out that had instant results. He was always upbeat and positive in his assessments and stressed how setting goals was an important part of my routine. He checks in with you everyday and is a source of encouragement.
I am now down to 192, that is 33 pounds I have lost so far! Also my blood pressure was recently measured at 119/78. My energy levels are now unbelievable. Although I've moved away Concord , I still have all the handouts Kyle gave me and I have improved my workouts. The man knows his business.”
“I signed up for three sessions with Kyle Battis to help me create a more effective workout for myself. Upon meeting Kyle, I was immediately impressed with his enthusiastic congeniality, no-judgment attitude, rich knowledge, and genuine concern. Over the course of my meetings (and beyond) with Kyle, I gained far more than new exercises: I developed a greater understanding of the relationship between nutrition, diet, and exercise; I found a partner who contacts me regularly to monitor my progress; I discovered a constant source of information and knowledge via Kyle's newsletters and website suggestions; most importantly, I created for myself, with Kyle's guidance, the energy, the confidence, and the motivation to pursue my strong body and good health goals.”
- Tim Dougherty “Thanks for believing in me and always being there to push me to always work out, with out your help I would have never been in the shape I am in now nor would I be able to perform on the court as well as I can now. Thank you Kyle, - Matt Green “The inordinate amount of fitness information available in magazines, books, journals, and on television today made it difficult for me to formulate a workout plan that effectively achieved the results I was looking for. Kyle helped me articulate my goals and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the adjustments that I need to make in and out of the gym in order to reach my aggressive objectives. Kyle is an invaluable resource with a seemingly infinite amount of knowledge to answer all of my nutritional and fitness-related questions, and I encourage anyone, regardless of their goals, to take advantage of his services. His professionalism and dedication to his clients is unmatched, and the results I have personally achieved would never have been possible without him.”
- Todd Boucher
"Before I met Kyle I was completely clueless about lifting weights. After training with him and getting an individualized weight training program, I've gained 15 pounds of muscle and added 3 inches to my vertical jump! Kyle is by far the best fitness trainer I've ever worked with. I just wanted to let you know that I am leaving for UNLV this Friday and that I will be trying out for the basketball team and running Track & Field. I also went to the doctors last week for my physical and I put on 15 pounds without any fat on me. I've been working out in the gym real hard Monday-Friday for about an hour a day with weekends off. I do a lot of cardiovascular workouts and do 120 push-ups a day. Everyone compliments me on my how much my body has transformed and there is a big difference. When I get the chance I'll take a picture and email it to you. Thank you for everything you've done for me and I wish you the best of luck.” - Jeff Etienne “Thanks for the great program and all your great work Kyle. There is no way I would ever be able to read and study enough of this stuff to come up with these programs on my own or figure out how to work around specific injuries. It is worth its weight in gold.”
- Peter Amons
" Everyone has different goals and different bodies. Kyle is keen on recognizing these differences, focusing on the individual, and producing results."
- James Thorpe
“I'm still noticing improvements in strength, flexibility, etc. That increase has been great- I am able to do activities with much ease than before. I went rock-climbing for the first time the other day and had a blast! I've also been trying to get kayaking into my schedule- it's such a great workout for the body AND mind.”
- Amy Weaver
“I'm a 21-year-old college student, and I've been overweight since the day I was born. With Kyle's workout plan, I'm finally able to turn my life around. Kyle has not only helped me with the fundamentals of eating and working-out, he has also improved my weaknesses towards the game of basketball. As a student, I don't have much money lying around, so I didn't bother buying a scale. I weighed myself for the first time at the gym today, and I was amazed with what I saw. In the 15 weeks I've been on Kyle's program, my waist has dropped two sizes and my weight has declined from 252lbs to 223lbs lbs. I've lost a lot of fat weight and gained plenty of muscle. I've been overweight for 21 years, and one of the most gratifying things about losing weight is watching the fat melt off of everything -- my face, my arms, my chest, and my legs. My clothes are becoming looser and looser... You get the picture. Sorry to ramble on, but it's very cool to be getting thinner. I'm really looking forward to impressing my family and peers when I come back on winter break! Thanks for everything Kyle. Every time I look in the mirror, I look better.” - Kenny Oullette
Note: Here is an excerpt from one of my newsletters documenting the results of Kenny's transformation:
The results are in! Kenny Ouellette committed to change his body permanently by changing his lifestyle! For the past thirteen weeks Kenny used supportive nutrition, moderate cardiovascular exercise, and progressive resistance training to change his body. Kenny lost 25 Pounds over the summer, greatly improved his conditioning levels, and most importantly became empowered with the knowledge that he has control over his body and his metabolism. Kenny kept thanking me for all that I had done for him but I want to let Kenny know that he did all of the hard work, I simply pointed him in the right direction. Anyone can change their body in a positive manner if they have the desire, are provided with the right information, and simply follow through! For Kenny this is only the beginning. He now has the tools to continue the process of physical change for the rest of his life. Here are Kenny's results of his summer transformation:
“Kyle Battis has been working with me over the past several months to help me to accomplish my personal goals:
to increase my sense of self-empowerment through one-on-one motivational coaching
to improve my emotional and physical condition through consistent and effective workouts
to minimize unhealthy lifestyle habits by replacing them with healthier lifestyle habits
Kyle has been an exceptional personal trainer because he listens, truly develops a customized and achievable workout routine, regularly reinforces through multiple venues (in person workouts, emails, newsletters, etc.), and continually uses positive reinforcement and encouragement to assist me.
In the past 4 weeks I have been able to accomplish consistent workouts, and have made solid gains in my overall physical and emotional well-being. Kyle has navigated me through some substantial obstacles, both physically and psychologically. I have a tricky back which required a very customized and flexible set of exercises.
Kyle is both a mentor and a great person to be around, and I most highly recommend him as a personal trainer. I have worked out with lots of people over the past 20 years and Kyle excels at what he does. Good luck and have fun accomplishing your lifestyle goals!

“I want to thank you for your help this summer/fall. I felt as if I made progress. I have lost much of the weight I wanted (15 pounds so far) so if I can just stay with it over the holidays, I'll be happy. You helped me a lot and I appreciate it!”
- Anne-Lee Verville
“After being told by my Doctor that I had high cholesterol I was prescribed medication to help keep it under control. I had negative side effects as a result of the meds so I decided to give exercise a shot. Kyle started me on an exercise program that helped me drop my total cholesterol below 200, lower my blood pressure to levels I had not seen in years, and I lost 15 pounds of fat! I didn't believe exercise would help in the beginning but I certainly do now!”
- Phil Couture
“Since I began a strength training program with Kyle I have more energy, I no longer need to sit down and rest after standing for a while, and I now have the ability to get up from the floor without pulling myself up.”
- Liz Black
“After following the same cardiovascular and weight training program for the past four years without change in my routine I felt the need for modification due to persistent injuries. I was initially intimidated by the idea of working with a personal trainer but after observing my friends' behaviors and their new philosophies about fitness after beginning individualized programs with Kyle, I became convinced that I should make the initial appointment with Kyle. Since then, I have been truly reinvigorated by the plan that Kyle has devised for me. My only regret is that I hadn't started my new regimen a year or two ago!”
- Cathy Martone
“I was excited when I met Kyle because here was a person who could help me become more confident in my ability to move and exercise. I spoke to Kyle about my nagging back injuries and he seemed confident that I could become stronger and more confident in my abilities if I worked with him to develop an individualized strengthening program. I spent two months working on strengthening my back before Kyle or myself felt confident to progress to a more advanced strengthening program. All the while, Kyle explained which muscles were being worked, how to perform the exercises with proper technique, and why a step by step process to shaping your body is essential. Today I am almost 40 pounds lighter and stronger than I have ever been!”
- Chris Metcalf
“I have noticed gains in every aspect of my lifting!”
- Eric Weaver
“I had not been physically active before signing up for a program with Kyle. It was a very new adventure for me but what pleased me about it was that I was allowed to progress at my own pace. Coming into this partnership with Kyle I really wanted to improve my posture and I was pleased to see dramatic improvement. It is so much easier to stand and walk without the slouched shoulders! I feel my muscle tone has improved, I feel better about myself, and I can handle everyday activities such as shopping with ease now. I'm thinking now of an extended travel tour I had previously dismissed as too challenging for me! Kyle has really helped and encouraged me!”
- Martha Stephenson
“I enjoy having the strength to be more functional at work and at home. Activities such as lifting up my children and performing my duties as a Conservation Officer are now much more enjoyable where as before they used to injure me.”
- John Kanter
“Even as a beginner, strength training has made a tremendous difference and has helped me get my body back. I've lost weight, gained strength, and at the age of Fifty, I am now in the best shape of my life.”
- Janet Smith-Rushton
“Kyle has helped me successfully transition to using free-weights instead of Nautilus for strength training. This has resulted in better all-around strength and resolution of chronic injuries. Kyle is very knowledgeable about the latest in strength training as well as being patient, friendly, and fun!”

“I had been exercising for a while but never had a personal trainer until I met Kyle. I am 70 years old and I have been working with Kyle for 8 months. What a difference it has made! Kyle is understanding, patient, and has great knowledge about setting up exercise programs that produce results!
- Gerda “Genie” Wonson
“ The program and instructions that Kyle gave me have helped me improve my performance on the basketball court dramatically. I got a lot stronger, faster, and quicker than I used to be because of the program Kyle put me on. Intense Olympic weightlifting (Snatch, Clean and Jerk) with him simply gave me the confidence to play basketball and compete in the US (Dice grew up in Japan ). My strength levels have increased greatly since I have worked with Kyle. I can now bench press 215 pounds even at my meager 5'8” and 150 pounds. Quite an improvement after never picking up a weight before meeting Kyle!”
- Daisuke Yoshimoto
“Hi Kyle,
I have good news to share with you. I am now wearing a pair of jeans that I could not fit into three weeks ago. Yahoo! I am very excited! Thanks Kyle, I couldn't have done it without you. One more thing! Now, when I bend down from my chair (at work) to get something out of the bottom file drawer, my stomach scream out for mercy. I think it might be starting to shrink. Woo Hoo!”
Another update from Wendy:
“I am wearing a pair of jeans that I was finally able to fit into during the first nine week program that you set up for me. I now have a little extra room in them. It feels so great. I'm sitting at my computer - obviously -and I just looked down at my fat stomach and it still sticks out, but not nearly as much. It makes me so grateful for all that you have done for me. You are definitely the best! I've been meaning to tell you that when I think about why I choose you over other personal trainers, it's just like when I'm thinking about going out for a bite to eat for dinner. I have the choice of either going out to McDonald's or to a really nice restaurant. I choose you, because you are the best of the best.”
- Wendy Woodman
“When I first started incorporating Kyle's workouts, I had been spending long hours in the gym and not getting the results I wanted. I worked out hard, but I just didn't seem to be doing the right things for what I wanted to accomplish. After working through Kyle's first program, I could see and feel a considerable difference in myself. Not only was I getting results, but I was spending a half the time in the gym than I had before using Kyle's program. In another five weeks, I changed to another style workout plan and again, I saw great results. For anyone, whether you have been working out for 5 years or only 5 days, I would recommend consulting with Kyle to find a program that fits your needs. With Kyle's knowledge and research capabilities, I have 100% faith in him to find anyone a program that will start them on a path to feeling great!”

Thanks again!”

“Hi Kyle, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've been out of town quite a bit since the Vermont 50 Mountain Bike Race. Speaking of the race, I finished! It took me eleven and a half hours but I got it done. There were torrential downpours the entire day, and it was nearly impossible to climb any hill, never mind the steep ones. The mud was up to your ankles for most of the race. What were once streams that you could ride your bike right through became rivers up to your waste! However, I have to say I loved it! I think we walked our bikes a good 15 to 20 miles. One of the main reasons why I had a good time was because of the training program you recommended. Thank you for your guidance for the two months prior! Because of it, I was in the best shape I could be in for a race like that. Lots of carbs the day before the race. Major hydration the week before (5-7 liters of water per day). I added distance to my Saturday rides each week until I was at about three hours per ride with lots of hills. I began to appreciate that when I was climbing (the hills I could ride) past people who began to walk their bikes. I will be doing this ride next year and now I have a benchmark to go by. Maybe I'll even start calling it a race. Thanks again Kyle for your help and your support.” - Tom Cook Concord Litho Group 92 Old Turnpike Rd. Concord , NH 03301 (603) 225-3328 www.concordlitho.com Lee-Ann DiNardo “I already had a regular exercise routine that I did at home every morning and I often exercised later in the day in the gym at my workplace and/or went for a walk. But having recently turned 50, I really wanted more out of my routines—I wanted to be more focused in my exercising-- stronger, leaner and the big one—those beautiful sculptured arms of the fit 25-year olds.
That's where Kyle Battis came in. Kyle helped me structure the work-out that targeted overall physical fitness as well as specific lower and upper body strength exercises. Strength was the main goal. Due to my own hard work and Kyle's planning and guidance, I not only feel better and stronger, I am leaner, my clothes fit better, I have lost five pounds (an unexpected result, not really needed but not unwelcome by any means!) AND my arms have shape—actually lines of definition in my arm muscles. My tailor has benefited from my leaner self, as I have had to take in some slacks and skirts. Of course I'm not complaining!
I have had such positive results that this new strength training is part of my life exercise program. I appreciate Kyle's knowledge and expertise in setting up an individualized program for me that really fits my personality and my lifestyle. He's always willing to help me vary my program so I don't get bored and my body doesn't get bored.”

“I wanted to tell you how much I really do look forward to learning something new from the Professional Fitness Coaching newsletter every week. You really do a great job with it.”

“I enjoy reading your fitness letter because it helps me with ideas for my own training as well as giving me background info I can put into effect as a future health care professional. I wanted to let you know that I've dropped 20 lbs since last summer and I'm trying to stay fit and continue to get even leaner as we speak. Thanks for your help Kyle!”

“With a demanding career and many hours of coaching college athletes during the winter months I didn't have time for my own exercise and I felt defeated. Kyle met with me and motivated me to take it one day at a time with better nutrition and a customized workout plan. Rather than considering this plan as a diet, Kyle taught me to look at it as life style alterations. With healthy eating habits, a resistance training program and cardiovascular activity Kyle helped me to succeed. I have since lost thirty-five pounds and feel Phenomenal! My physique has become very defined and it has helped to increase my self confidence while enjoying a greater quality of life. I feel very energized and motivated in all aspects of my life and everyone around me sees the difference Kyle has made for me. Thank you Kyle!”

“I had known about Kyle through his e-mail newsletters and have heard about his presentations on fitness through advertisements in the Concord Monitor. I invited Kyle to give his presentation, “RESULTS” to the patients in my office, although I had never met him or worked with him directly.
I had some initial skepticism that Kyle's presentation would focus on “Bulking up” or training hard to produce “magazine cover muscles”. I was a bit uncertain how that message would be received, as the audience we had assembled was a cross section of the general population, though we tend to be more health conscious and active than the average citizen. Ages range from mid 30's to mid 70's. Kyle's opening sentence put my fears to rest. With a genuine courtesy he showed concern for the needs and interests of each individual in the audience. Kyle's knowledge on training and nutrition was just as appropriate and useful for the middle aged woman faced with that stubborn “15 extra pounds” as it was for the young man who had reached a plateau in his workout efforts. Kyle's confident delivery earned the trust of my patients very early on.
On the evening of Kyle's presentation it was obvious to me that our collaboration produced a winning situation for my patients. Those in attendance had the opportunity to meet, face to face, someone with a true expertise to assist them in working with their bodies in a health conscious manner that could produce desired results. Kyle's professionalism and his delivery dismissed any preconceived fear the audience may have had regarding who or what a personal trainer was. All the feedback I got from those in attendance was positive. In my attempts to provide the best care and best information to my patients I made certain to schedule him for 2 more talks in my office for August and September. We are looking forward to that!

"I am a senior in high school this year meaning it will be my last year playing varsity ice hockey. I want to make the most of my last season and hopefully our team will win the State Tournament. During pre-season I knew I needed to get stronger and quicker to perform at my optimum ability. When I met Kyle I weighed a mere 134 pounds. I asked him for a new training routine specifically to prepare me for hockey. To my surprise, he created an extensive 5-week strength program designed for hockey. He assisted me and encouraged me through my intense workouts. He gave me tips on how to gain weight in the form of muscle mass. After the first 5-week cycle, I gained an astonishing 11 pounds of muscle and my bench increased about 15 pounds! I am extremely satisfied with my results from my individualized training program and thankful for Kyle's help. I know I will be in the best possible shape for my final year of hockey." - Jeff Cloutier **Another Update From Jeff: “Hey Kyle,
How's it going? I just got home from playing hockey. I can see a huge difference in my abilities on the ice, thanks to your strength program. Today I got a shorthanded goal and three assists. In regards to training, I just finished my fifth week of the second training cycle. I tested my max bench and squat last Friday. I put up 225 on the bench (went up pretty good) and 275 for a squat.”
- Jeff Cloutier “My physical therapist referred me to Kyle when I inquired about someone who could help me design an exercise routine that was tailored to help me build overall body tone and prevent the recurrence of sports-related injuries. After our first session, I learned the difference between passive and dynamic stretching routines. With the same amount of effort, I now am getting significantly better results. I now can do 20 mile hikes and play hockey without the "down-time" related to injuries.”
