He's taken it to an EXTREME!

After a stint in the USAF, Kyle began working as a Personal Trainer for Troy Huggett & Fitness Pros in the mid 1990s.  Seeing the dramatic success that Troy's clients were having with his training techniques of High Intensity, One Set to Fatigue, Kyle used this technique for a research project in an Exercise Physiology class he was attending. His research results showed, not surprisingly, that Troy's training techniques resulted in increased muscle strength and decreased body fat, as well as increased cardiovascular fitness/endurance and increased flexibility.

Kyle eventually applied for the Physician Assistant program at Western Michigan Univ.  His acceptance into the program was aided by his training of clients who were post-surgery rehab and/or post- Physical Therapy.

During his 22+ year PA-C career, Kyle continued to work out using Troy's theories & techniques, allowing him to stay healthy & fit as well as deal with the stress & rigors of his medical career.  He even referred some of his patients to Troy and Fitness Pros to help improve their overall health & fitness level.

Unexpectedly Kyle suffered an amputation of his right leg in December, 2019.  Shortly after his release from rehab in March, 2020, he began working out with Troy, both in group class and one-on-one training.  Knowing that he needed to increase his strength and improve his balance as he had to relearn how to walk with a prosthesis, as well as protect his arms and shoulders from the wear & tear from walking with crutches or a cane 

In the fall of 2020, Kyle began to compete in adaptive sports such as sled hockey and wheelchair Lacrosse thru Mary Free Bed in Grand Rapids.  With Troy's knowledge, guidance & assistance, Kyle was able to begin sports-specific training to aid his competition in these rigorous adaptive sports.  By 2020, Kyle began to train for individual sports, such as swimming,  hand-cycling and triathlons.  Again, Troy's assistance and training techniques allowed Kyle to not complete these endeavors, but to excel in his classification and age division.

As of July 2025, Kyle has competed in:

-- Multiple different adaptive sports, involving numerous practices and tournament games for sled hockey, wheelchair Lacrosse and wheelchair softball, as well as many other clinics, including wheelchair fencing and football.....

-- the Goguac Lake Swim, becoming the first amputee in decades to do so...

-- Two triathlons, winning Gold medals in his division in both....

-- the Veteran's Golden Age Games, winning 3 Gold medals in swimming....

-- the Veteran's Wheelchair, winning Gold in Adaptive Fitness and Swimming, Bronze in Cycling and Discuss, while finishing 4th in the Shot Put ....

Never at a loss for words, Kyle states:

"Troy and Fitness Pros have had an immeasurably positive impact on my Life -- an incredibly rewarding job, a fulfilling and astounding career, the ability to overcome difficult obstacles and compete in a wide variety of challenging adaptive sports, access to numerous other modalities that improve my overall health & fitness, as well the knowledge involving an incredibly quick, effective and efficient high intensity training for strength (and MUCH more !!!)
