Research continues to find that a well-planned, progressive exercise program can lead to dramatic improvements in strength, balance, confidence and the ability to live independently in baby boomers and seniors from 50 to 80 and beyond.

We all know that it is important to maintain a physically active lifestyle as we age. Regular, moderate exercise can delay some of the physical deterioration that occurs with aging or sedentary living. I am a baby boomer and have first-hand knowledge of how fitness training leads to an active and healthy lifestyle.

Fitness/Conditioning assessment (history, testing)

Assessment and program design for aging athletes

Ongoing and safe exercise technique instruction

I am a full-time Fitness Coach, Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist based in Boulder, Colorado.

Thanks to my many successful years of teaching, coaching and training athletes of all ages and abilities, I have considerable expertise in helping others successfully reach their fitness goals. I am very accessible, believe in excellent communication with my clients and provide open interaction in addition to our in-person sessions. We can meet at your home, at the gym or outdoors. Unlike corporate fitness clubs and gyms that lock you into lengthy contracts, I work with a small number of clients so that we can work more closely together and avoid the “Work on these at home and I will see you in a week” approach to fitness coaching.

Fitness/Conditioning assessment (history, testing)

Setting short-term and long-term, challenging and attainable goals

I am Kirk Emry, CPT-CSCS. As your Personal Fitness Coach, it is my responsibility to assist you in reaching your fitness goals. Whether you are a baby boomer who has not worked on your fitness since your high school PE class, a senior who wants to improve your balance and prevent the chance of a fall, or a middle or high school student who wants to get fit to try out for a club soccer team, I will be your coach, instructor, trainer, friend and motivator. I am sincerely committed to making your fitness goals my highest priority.

I am a Colorado native and have actively enjoyed vigorous outdoor activities in our beautiful state since my youth. An avid skier, I have enjoyed working as a full time, Certified, Professional Ski Instructor teaching adults and kids ranging from ages 7 to 18 to ski at Winter Park Resort, Vail Mountain and Eldora Mountain Resort. I love hiking in the mountains and have reached the summit of 35 of Colorado’s famous 14ers. My regular fitness routine includes resistance training, running, hiking, cycling and dancing. I continue to participate in running events from 5Ks to marathons and challenging mountain trail races.

I have significant experience as both a teacher and a coach in public middle schools and high schools. I have coached a variety of sports, including football, basketball, wrestling, baseball and track and field. I have also managed the strength and conditioning programs at several of those schools. I have personally been involved in fitness activities since I entered the sixth grade.

I live, work, and train in Boulder, Colorado, and work also with clients in surrounding areas.
