Testimonials

"I’ve been training with KT Streder twice a week for 6 years, and it has made a significant difference in my strength, flexibility, balance and physical well-being. I have a family history of osteoporosis, and I know that my work-out regimen has helped maintain my bone density and increased my muscle mass. I enjoy KT’s careful coaching sessions which include boxing along with strength-training, and I always come away from our 45 minutes together feeling energized and ready to take on the day. I encouraged my husband to become a client, and for many years he has also benefitted from KT’s extensive knowledge and excellent coaching. We’ve been very pleased to recommend her to friends and plan to continue as clients for as long as we are able." - Cricket H.
