KINSTRETCH CLASS
“Hunter’s knowledge of how the human body is meant to move is second to none. Even more impressive is his ability to teach and connect.
⠀
At the beginning of his Kinstretch class, he approached me to discuss my unique injuries and limitations. He spent another 15 minutes with the class discussing important concepts to get the most out of each movement. We then worked through the whole body, giving me an appreciation of my body’s capabilities and limitations. We finished with targeting problem areas and deep breathing exercises. I left his class feeling limber, rejuvenated, and craving more.
His class will allow me to be a better clinician and trainer and I look forward to applying what I learned when I get back to Toronto.
⠀
I highly recommend Hunter to anyone looking to improve how they move and feel!

Kinstretch is…
A group class that uses the mobility exercises I teach in one-on-one settings. It will be an opportunity to have a class to supplement whatever work-out program you are currently using but should not replace other activities. If you are working out with me, or another trainer, this is meant to supplement that programming. If you CrossFit, yoga, or spin, this will only add to your weekly workouts.
Mobility work is meant to expand your usable range of motion which we lose both with age and our current lifestyle. I will put a focus on joint health & longevity, body control, and how all of this is related to injury prevention.
One thing I want to say for those who have not experienced it before- it is NOT a stretching class. Although the word "Stretch" is in the name- this is a very active class. It will be a workout. It can be challenging. Muscle cramps are common in mobility work but I will explain why they are happening and why they shouldn't always be avoided.
If you are currently dealing with an injury and are experiencing pain, this class is not for you. Mobility work is not rehabilitation work. Taking a joint in pain through a mobility class can potentially exacerbate the issue.
“I have been looking for something to help me recover from the ravages of Lyme disease that I have been suffering from for the last 4 years.
⠀
I had lost my strength, my flexibility, and my dancers body due to the horrendous fatigue and illness that are a result from healing from Lyme disease.
⠀
After only 5 Kinstretch classes with Hunter- I can stand for long hours, my posture is right back where it was, and all my dance muscles are waking up and acting like they did 10 years ago. My body had become so weak that basic training was so cumbersome. I feel stronger. My joint pain- especially in my low back and hips- has diminished and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
⠀
Hunter is saving my life because I couldn’t do this on my own. This is a hard thing for a trainer that has been teaching almost 30 years to say because we always want to be there for our clients but have a difficult time asking for help for ourselves. I’m so glad I found this class and Hunter- it really is amazing.
