Kyle is truly a wizard when it comes to this stuff.

I hired Kyle to create a strength and conditioning plan for my last professional MMA fight, and the results were outstanding. The app he provided made it incredibly easy to follow the workouts, and for any exercises I wasn't familiar with, there were video demonstrations of him performing them, which was a huge help. The check-ins and progress tracker were invaluable for keeping me accountable.

Kyle is truly a wizard when it comes to this stuff, but ultimately, you have to show up for yourself. I'll definitely be working with him for every fight camp moving forward — 100%.

The success I've had in the last two seasons can heavily be attributed to Colonna Coaching.

My stability and ability to set myself up mentally for success continue to allow me to maintain a high level of performance.

He created something that made sense, that was unique and that worked.

Being a mom to a very busy toddler, I found it challenging to find the time and energy to go to the gym. Too often I would put everyone first and set my own needs aside. As a result, it didn't take long for me to start feeling uncomfortable in my clothes and in my own body. It wasn't until I started talking to Kyle and through Colonna Coaching, we were able to come up with a plan that would fit into my “mom lifestyle”.

One of the concepts was to start incorporating “trigger workouts” which would look something like this: every morning when I would make my coffee, I would pick a simple exercise to do, like a squat, and would do it 50 times. And then when I would naturally transition to something else, for instance going to the park with my son, I would do another 50 squats and so on. This may seem pretty simplistic, however it was the foundation to kick-starting my progress in losing weight and creating healthy habits.

Now I am way more mindful of when I can incorporate movement and being active in everyday life without being physically present in the gym. One day, I know I will be back to lifting weights in the gym — this is just a season, it won't be forever. (Being an active mom feels right for now.) Truly this was the perfect stepping stone to lead me to even greater things.

Kyle has proven to be adaptable and really listens to what you need specifically to be successful in your fitness journey. He didn't push a standard regimen or workout on me that wasn't realistic; he created something that made sense, that was unique and that worked. I am confident Colonna Coaching will help you in your fitness journey, whatever that may look like. Kyle, thank you so much for helping me — I am truly blessed and grateful.

I joined a 6 week challenge with Colonna Coaching and through that I increased weights in my lifting, increased strength, got my nutrition on track and lost 10 lbs! All with support along the way, instructional videos and encouragement.

Love the team — they're so helpful and this was exactly what I needed to get past my plateau. Highly recommend!
