I had more or less ignored my physical conditioning for the past two years until I started with Kurt and ProFitness in early March. I was overweight, out of shape, and suffered from pain and range of motion issues in both shoulders. Previously, I worked out regularly with a personal trainer at one of the more well-known fitness centers (no names, but it begins with L and ends with ifetime) and ended up with a painful injury to my lower back as a result of a lifting movement, guided by my trainer, that I had no business doing. After reading some of these reviews, I decided to give Kurt a try. Five months later, I couldn't be happier. I'm in much better physical shape (though I still have progress to be made) and my shoulders are back to a full and painless range of motion as a direct result of Kurt's background in kinesiology. Kurt designs the workouts to create the most impact through a combination of plyometrics, kettlebells, and kick-boxing. The workouts are extremely fun and never the same. If your personal trainer: -expects you to do your warm up cardio during your paid session, or -isn't able to alleviate or address your pain/mobility issues, or -has directly caused an injury, or -creates workouts that take more than 30 minutes, then... you would be well-served to give Kurt an opportunity. He's a great coach and a great person. He is encouraging (especially important to an out of shape guy who didn't want his ego crushed), patient, and a great motivator. read more

I've been a member of the "big box" gyms a number of times over the years. I always felt like I was a number. Rarely was there anyone around who could answer question about technique if you were trying out a new machine or body weight exercise. That's not the case with Pro Fitness Training in Eden Prairie. Kurt Hartmann, who started this wonderful operation, runs a great facility devoted to improving the health and well-being of everyone who walks thru his doors. Like many others, I'm sure you know someone who is doing what seems to come naturally to them. They found their niche, their true career. That's Kurt! He loves what he does and he's really, really good at it. There isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said so well by so many other satisfied members. I would encourage you to go to the Pro Fitness web site, www.profitnessmn.com. Click on the Testimonial tab and scroll down to the review by Maggie. To me, her statement captures the essence of what Kurt does so very well. While you're there read and listen to the others who feel the way we do. THEN, go see Kurt or Ryan, and start living at your best. read more

I would recommend Pro Fitness to anyone on the hunt for a new gym/training facility to call home. After having tested out a few other gyms over the past few years, it's clear they've figured it out. The facility is clean and spacious, the equipment is new and high-end, and there is a broad selection of classes and times to fit any preference and lifestyle. The members are incredible - ranging in different ages, experience levels and personal goals, which makes it very welcoming to newcomers. And finally, the owner and lead trainer, Kurt Hartmann, is an incredibly inspiring person who's made it his life mission to help people meet their personal fitness goals. He's there from sun up to sun down, always with a smile on his face and the ability push you to your greatest potential. read more

As a chiropractor, I study the movement patterns of the body and specifically those of the spine. I can tell you honestly that Kurt's knowledge of muscle movement patterns and what is correct vs incorrect is absolutely second to none. He has an uncanny ability to figure out what is weak on your body and what exactly to do to correct that weakness. This leads to not only more strength and being in better shape, but it ALSO prevents future injury helping you to feel better now AND in the years to come. Put simply, Kurt knows his stuff better than any other trainer I've ever met. Plus he and his wife Emma are 2 of the best and nicest people I've ever met anywhere at anytime. You can't go wrong with Kurt at Pro Fitness Training in Eden Prairie. read more

I have been attending PFT for 9+ years and I can't say enough positive things about Kurt.

Pro Fittness Training/Kurt is awesome! Kurt has helped me with strength, mobility & flexibility. Kurts knowledge in recovering from an injury has been the most helpful. I am in my 50's and train Muay Thai boxing & jiu jitsu and have had a few injuries over the years. Kurt has extensive experience in recovery. His attention to detail and proper body mechanics has been a life changer. I recover faster as well as injury prevention. He practices what he teaches too. He is in great shape doing the same workouts or the same recovery work when injured. His passion, knowledge & integrity is unquestionable. I appreciate his dedication to health, Fittness, nutrition and physical theropy. read more

Discovering Pro Fitness Training years ago was the best thing that happened to me and my family. We are all hooked on Kurt's classes that are designed to help you become stronger, more coordinated, healther, and faster. Plus, you never get bored because the workouts change everyday. Lastly, it isn't a gym where you have to worry about what you wear, your weight, how much you can lift; everyone is there to be a better version of themself, something I haven't experienced in other gyms. This supportive atmosphere wouldn't be possible without Kurt's expertise that make it a welcoming and safe place to workout, have fun, and be yourself. read more

I used to be the person that dreaded working out and going to the gym. I had little to no motivation and was intimidated by all the equipment options. I started working with Ryan and my fitness did a complete 180. He showed be equipment that I'd never used, was patient throughout the whole process and was so positive and encouraging when I felt like quitting. I grew so much stronger than I ever thought possible because of Ryan's dedication and knowledge. He is well worth the time, money, and effort. I went from never working out to going to the gym everyday on my own with confidence. read more

I have worked with Ryan in both class settings and one-on-one training. As a coach and personal trainer, he is extremely dedicated and creative. He takes time to understand your goals and creates a program unique to you. The sessions are always different and never boring. Ryan takes the time to understand your capabilities and when he sees you are getting comfortable, pushes you to the next level by providing modifications to make your workout as challenging as possible. Ryan truly cares about his clients and has an energy level that is off the charts! read more

Since joining Pro Fitness a little over a month ago, my mobility has improved, my ability to move through yoga poses has become easier, my lifts in the weight room have gone up, overall I just feel better getting out of bed in the morning.
