ATHLETE TESTIMONIALS

Max Yates

Colgate Lacrosse
“I started at KMK after a consecutive shoulder and knee surgery during my senior year. In order to prepare for D-1 lacrosse after these surgeries, I tried KMK based on recommendations. Seth, the trainer I work with primarily, has taken my game to a new level. Seth and KMK are unique in their understanding of an athlete’s needs while also being so knowledgeable in scientific-based exercise. Seth has made me far more confident in my own mobility while also greatly increasing strength and speed. KMK has the highest quality equipment, most knowledgeable staff, and keeps the gym extremely clean. Kevin, Seth, and the entire staff are also great guys who make every workout enjoyable.”

Anthony Mastroni

Brown University
“KMK is a well-kept, professional, and well-rounded facility. Kevin and Seth are two of the most knowledgeable and professional trainers I have ever come across. As a D1 football player, I have never encountered a group of trainers that offers more thoroughly thought out, unique, and science-backed methods of training to help athletes achieve their specific goals. My success as a college athlete is largely due to this facility and group of trainers.”

Carina Ciampi

University of Rochester
“KMK training is the place to be if you are looking to improve your athletic performance, learn proper lifting techniques and improve your overall sports skill. Kevin is very personal and understands how to plan a workout designed for the athletes he works with. I drive 2 hours to go to KMK and it is worth every minute of the trip. When I first started with Kevin about a year and a half ago, I had never lifted weights before and did not know how to come up with my own workout plan. Kevin explains all of the parts of your body that you are using in each exercise and makes sure you understand the workout and are not just going through the motions. I highly recommend KMK for anyone looking to improve their fitness level and become a better athlete.”

Chuck Clemons

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
“I play basketball at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and have been working out at KMK for a couple of years. I can truthfully say that my body has progressed to measures that wouldn’t be possible anywhere else. KMK has the best technology around and puts it to great use. My trainer, Kev and I have built a close relationship throughout the years and he has helped me understand my body and lets me know what works specifically for me. All the trainers at KMK are great people and they are very fun to be around. I’m very appreciative of the whole staff and KMK as a whole.”

Kyle Vaccarella

Auburn University
“I am currently a football player at Auburn University. As a Division 1 athlete, I have been blessed to have come across Kevin and this amazing facility. Kevin has helped me reach my goals, push my limits, and has implemented science-based exercises to develop me into the athlete I am today. This is an amazing facility with the highest quality equipment, most knowledgeable trainers, and provides all of the services needed for an athlete’s success. I can confidently say that part of my success within my football career is owed to Kevin and KMK.”

Max Manjos

Roger Williams University
“I’ve been working with Kev and the rest of the KMK staff for the last few years and they have helped me evolve my game and achieve my goal to play at the next level. KMK works with their athletes and create personalized plans to achieve their maximum potential. Throughout my Training | have felt vast improvements in my game and have transformed my body. I highly recommend KMK to athletes of all ages and skill levels.”

Max McGillicudy

Loyola University
“I play Division 1 lacrosse at Loyola University Maryland. I have been working out at KMK for over two years now. My progress both in the weight room and on the field has helped me compete at the highest level, striving to win a national championship. The weight training is designed solely for me, focusing on my specific needs so I can be successful on the lacrosse field. Along with that, KMK really emphasizes the importance of recovery which is extremely important for training. Not only does KMK offer top-of-the-line training, the relationship and friendships I have been able to build with the trainers is far beyond any other place I have been a part of. Kevin is truly a great guy who cares immensely about his clients and friends. He continues to push me to be the best I can be. I recommend KMK to any athlete who wants to strive to be the best both at the high school and college-level”

Nicole Koshes

Merrimack Softball
“I’ve been working with Justin for about 10 years and with the KMK staff for 2. They provide all the services an athlete will ever need to be successful on and off the field which is important when aspiring to become a collegiate athlete. The environment and staff is super welcoming which allows me to improve upon my weaknesses and make my strengths even better. I’ve been able to reach goals I didn’t think were possible with the help of Justin, Kevin, and the rest of the staff at KMK. I can confidently say that part of my success within my athletic career is owed to Justin and the KMK staff”

“KMK has helped me grow my strength immensely over the past year. Hurdling and jumping is about explosive speed and power, so lifting is crucial. Every week at KMK I watch my lifting numbers improve, and the effects of this are evident on the track. I have truly never been as strong as I am right now thanks to my workouts at Kevin’s and it is showing in my competitions as I continue to PR. Additionally, KMK’s top-of-the-line recovery equipment has also helped me so much, allowing me to train and compete at a really high intensity without my body feeling burnt out or getting injured.”

There are also amazing resources to support the athletes such as; a variety of recovery and nutrition options. KMK has built me to not only be a better athlete, but it also has built my character and mental toughness.

KMK has everything from the space, equipment, recovery, and is the perfect place to improve your strength and overall fitness to reach your goals at the next level.”

Casey Winslow

“KMK has been the perfect fit to help me train as an incoming collegiate athlete. From the physical plant to the genuineness of the trainers, KMK truly cares.

With their emphasis on recovery and improvement, I would recommend KMK to athletes of all levels looking to increase the level of their performance.”

I met Kevin and his team a few years ago when I was inching my way to 50 years old. My goal was to gain more muscle, feel stronger and build weight training into my routine. A year after working with Kevin, I went and had a Dexa scan and scored an A+. Two years later I'm still training at KMK twice a week and would trust him and any of the trainers with my fitness, nutrition plan and overall wellness routine.

Less than 10 months ago Zach Havemann was being wheeled into the hospital to have his ACL and MCL reconstructed. Since then the Team at KMK Training and Visionary Physical Therapy LLC and worked methodically to rehabilitate him to Zach 2.0 . It will be a slow start to the Football season, but if he continues to follow the process he will be back stronger and better than ever. Proud of his relentless work ethic and attitude to life. #characterbuilding #nevergiveup #staplesfootball

After one full year at kmk I can truly say this is the gym to be at. Working with Chris has been amazing. I have become much stronger and confident in myself. I have been able to grow as a soccer player in many different ways thanks to Chris. Overall the gym environment is amazing. Everyone is super helpful and so welcoming and kind. Each trainer cares so much about their client and genuinely only wants the best for them. It's not like other gyms where they just give you some workouts to do, they specifically do certain exercises to make you a better person and will guide and help you through each step. I recommend kmk for anyone even people who are staying their gym journeys and people who don't play sports. There is no gym like kmk and i'm so glad I have been able to build a great community there. I will definitely be returning for many years to come!

I had an amazing time at KMK, I felt very welcomed and right at home. Natanael Barbosa was a tremendous help. The custom plan he made for me was perfect and exactly what I needed to accomplish my goals. The way he explained the exercises and the reasoning behind why we were doing them was excellent. I was amazed by Revive Kmk after my workout and felt even better after using some of the resources available in it. This is the perfect place to achieve my goals, and chase new ones. Thank you so much to Kmk and Bosa.

Natanael Barbosa did a great job at helping me prepare for my incoming season as a thrower for the UConn Men’s track and field team. When he showed me Revived by Kmk I knew this was the place for me. As a D1 athlete I fully understand how important recovery is so that being there was perfect. Bosa has done a great job at pushing me to have the best possible season that I can. I really enjoyed the vibes at Kmk and can’t wait for my next session!

He did a great job explaining why we did what we did and demonstrated everything perfectly. The atmosphere was phenomenal I definitely found a new home. Revive by KMK was the cherry on top. Perfect place to push myself to my limits and recover right after. Thank you Bosa and Thank you KMK I will be seeing you guys again soon.
