KURT LAWRENCE

I’m Kurt, a proud Mundelein native. My love for athletics and fitness sparked at age five with gymnastics and soccer, and I’ve never stopped moving since. From cross country and ninja warrior to competing on the Men’s Gymnastics team at Northern Illinois University, my lifelong passion for movement fuels everything I do!

With my kinesiology background and experience as a lifelong athlete, I thrive on working with people of all ages and fitness levels, but I’m especially fired up about helping athletes elevate their performance! I’ll craft tailored workouts that zero in on your sport-specific needs, analyzing your strengths and weaknesses to design exercises that sharpen your skills and boost your game.

Outside the Mundelein Park & Recreation District, I’m scaling walls as a rock climber, conquering ninja warrior and parkour challenges, and creating dynamic content on social media. You’ll also find me hiking through nature, soaking up the outdoors, or suiting up as my favorite cosplay character—Spider-Man!

“Fitness isn’t about quick fixes or dramatic transformations; it’s about consistent small efforts that build the foundation of a healthy lifestyle.”

Emily Wilcox

My journey into the fitness and wellness industry is deeply rooted in personal experience and family history. Growing up in Antioch, Illinois, I saw my family struggle with diabetes, obesity, heart disease, depression, anxiety and arthritis. Personally, I saw how changing my lifestyle made a positive impact on my mood and wellbeing. Through my journey, I wanted to set an example for my children to grow up in a household that prioritizes their health.

I have worked in the Health and Wellness sector for six years, beginning with teaching various group fitness class formats such as Yoga, mat Pilates, Silver Fitness, strength and conditioning, and Aquafit. Soon after, I expanded into Personal Training where I create individualized programs for a wide range of client goals from weight loss to muscle building, mobility, and sport performance. I have 3 years of experience as a Health Coach in a medical weight loss setting, where I utilized body composition technology to tailor weight loss nutrition programs to achieve optimal health outcomes for my clients.

Fitness involves building strength, resilience, and a positive mindset. I create personalized training plans and take a holistic approach to health. My goal is to help clients develop sustainable habits for lasting lifestyle changes.

One of my favorite quotes is by Joyce Sunada: “If you don’t make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness.”
