I'm Kaine a trainer from Stamford, CT. I train locally, online, and coach on nutrition. 

I help working professionals build muscle so they can have more energy and confidence to enjoy their life. 

Fitness has always been a passion of mine, and it helped me take control of my health, both physically and mentally. 

I'm here to help keep you motivated, hit PRs (personal records), and accountable. 

A bit about what to expect when training with me.

--Fundamentals, you'll learn the basics ins and outs of training. 

--Strength, reach strength levels you didn't even know you were capable of. 

--Confidence, you're going to wear tank tops more often to show off the guns.

--Intensity, I always gauge my clients energy levels and modify the work out based on that. 

--Fun, the sessions are enjoyable and no one's ever accused me of being boring. 

--Nutrition, I've worked for a long time in the food industry. I know what to avoid at restaurants, and what to look for. 

Whatever your goals, reach out and let's start meeting them!

My favorite client story

I had one client who was a youth athlete. Being a young kid his parents were very nervous about 'stunting growth, and the dangers of weight lifting. I reassured them that those are only myths, training can be done by youth athletes as well.
This fear was echoed by the athlete himself, in which I assured him weights will only be used when he's at the proper level.
He's reached the skill level to use weights now, and now he's looking to go up in weights every week.
This was very rewarding to see someone so hesistant about training, become empassioned by it and desire to push pass his own limits.

My favorite exercise

Pendlay Rows are my favorite exercise. They're a great explosive exercise and builds your upper back like nothing else. They'll increase your back strength and size, in a safe and effective manner.

My favorite quote

Study strategy over the years and achieve the spirit of the warrior. Today is a victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.
Miyamoto Musashi

My training philosophy

Halthor didn't deadlift 501kg after one session, and neither will you.
Training is hard and requires dedication.
You'll have good days and bad days, so it's better to start light and progress slow.
Do too much and you'll end up hurt, burnt out, or quiting.
That's why I always program using a training max, so even on the bad days I'm still progressing.

My training experience

My fitness journey began when I wanted to perform better in school sports. I was skinny and not very strong, which was a big disadvantage. I started lifting weights to improve my strength, because strength, I learned, is the backbone of everything. I needed to become stronger, bigger, and better.

The exhilaration I felt once I was able to add more plates onto the bar was incomparable. Certified by ACE and with 11 years under the barbell, I want to share my knowledge with you.

I'll help you achieve those goals you once thought were out of reach.

If I can do it, so can you.
