Phoenix Fitness KC - Overland Park, Kansas

I’ve been working out with Kurt at Phoenix Fitness for two years, and the results have been incredible. My knee pain, which had been a persistent issue, has all but disappeared, and I’ve added 15 pounds of muscle in the process. Physically I’ve never felt better.

Kurt is truly exceptional—he’s not just a trainer but someone who cares about the science of fitness. Every workout is thoughtfully planned and tailored to address specific areas of pain or on the goals you want to achieve.

Beyond his expertise, Kurt is a pleasure to work with—always funny, encouraging, professional, and committed to helping his clients succeed. If you’re looking for a trainer who delivers real results and genuinely cares about your progress, Kurt is the one to see!

Kurt puts the professional in professional training! He very quickly zeroed in on and corrected my lifting techniques and the source of my shoulder pain. Added bonus-he offers PT for injuries! He is a coach through and through and strives to educate as well as motivate. 3 months in I am much more confident with my lifting skills and feeling great with my shoulder! He is worth the investment to take your current routine up a notch!

Kurt is an intelligent and multi-dimensional trainer who loves to help people be their best — no matter their life stage. My son has been training with him since his days as an elite soccer player to ensure he was at peak performance on the field and to prevent injuries. I train with him to help build muscle and better balance so I can age gracefully and be my best at work. No matter the goal, he puts together the best training for the individual because he understands the body and what makes it perform best. He is very talented, and I couldn’t recommend him more.

Absolutely LOVED my training session with Kurt! I have been to several trainers throughout the years, but Kurt was the one of the most approachable and knowledgeable trainers I have encountered. He catered my training program to my very specific needs (busy mom of 3 under 4 who has limited time for workouts) and communicated the goals of my program in a way that I would understand. If you’re looking for a great trainer who will listen to you, create a personalized program for you and educate you on your fitness, look no further!

If you have a child in high school or club sports that has suffered an injury, I highly recommend Kurt Van Kuiken from Phoenix Fitness KC. We were referred to Kurt after my daughter suffered a shoulder injury playing competitive volleyball. Being a former collegiate soccer player himself, Kurt understands the importance of focusing on the whole athlete. His knowledge base and breadth of techniques helped return my daughter to the court as soon as possible. We were so impressed with Kurt that we continue to work with him on strength, conditioning and agility training to help prevent future injuries. Kurt has made a significant difference in my daughter's volleyball performance! We are so appreciative of his knowledge, guidance and feedback.

My family has worked with Kurt for more than 5 years. He helped me after shoulder surgery, wife with neck injury, and track star son with shin splints and body building. He is always a step ahead of doctor or therapist diagnosis and has great physical therapy plans. Great with flexibility and support using tapes. I highly recommend his services to anyone in any condition.

I highly recommend Kurt at Phoenix Fitness KC! My son is an athlete who plays basketball at a high level. We were looking for someone to work with him on speed and agility. Kurt works on so much more than that. He looks for weaknesses to prevent injury, strengthens those weakness before moving on. My son has been challenged and has learned a lot about his body mechanics. He looks forward to his weekly sessions with Kurt!

Kurt offers every service you could need when it comes to your fitness and health. Any aches and pains I have can be immediately evaluated and alleviated under his care. He has years of experience, degrees, and certifications that allow him to treat every individual. He also has a passion for sports training and can curate well-developed workout plans for anyone - young and old! There is no better option in the KC area.
