What people are saying about us
Speciality Training breaks the mold by merging the whole body, wellness, and personal evolution. Darin's support and guidance turns fear and dread into hope and empowerment. He believes in you and sees the potential when you need it the most.

I stopped in to see Darin at Specialty Training to purchase a training package. He not only worked me out, he was able to share his knowledge and commitment to fitness in a way that inspired me. Seven years later I am still seeing Darin daily so apparently the lifestyle change was included in my package and I didn’t even know it. Fitness is now a normal daily routine for me much like picking up a cup of coffee and I would be miserable without either of them. Thank you Darin!

I began going to Specialty Training in November 2009. I considered myself an athlete but only performed aerobic exercise. Darin Rell introduced me to the sport of weight training. He is an excellent trainer. I have gained considerable strength and as a result have improved in road biking and skate skiing. Darin Rell is wholistic in his approach and offers guidance in developing a daily cross training exercise program. I strongly recommend Darin.

It has been said that the only person who can tell you ‘you can’t’ is you. That principle has been the foundation of my personal training with Darin Rell, owner of Specialty Training Inc. Together we have been transforming my body and my athletic performance to levels I didn’t realize I could achieve since 2004. An accomplished runner since the age of 22, I thought I was reasonably fit when I started training with Darin. Unfortunately though, I had never achieved my long standing goal of running the Boston Marathon. Several times I had come close but just never quite made it in the required time. Then I met Darin. Together we put in place a comprehensive strength training, running, and supplement regime for my next marathon. That October I finally qualified for Boston at the Chicago Marathon, a dream I would have never realized without Darin’s time, guidance, and wisdom. Since that time, I have qualified three more times for Boston.
How can you say thank you to someone who has literally shaped your life in every way? I never believed I could posses the strength I have, the definition my muscles have achieved, how I now look in my clothes, and all the compliments I receive on my appearance. All this for a three hour commitment that I make to Darin each week. I will never allow myself to go back to being the person that showed up at Specialty Training Inc.’s doorstep seven years ago. I love all of my muscle, and Darin of course, too much to ever stop my personal training with him. Thank you for everything you have done for me Darin, you truly have changed my life in so many positive ways I can never adequately thank you. This fall I will be 50 years old and I have never looked better. So when you think you can’t, remember you can.

"Mollie not only helped me step closer to my weight loss goal but she helped me to improve my overall strength and nutrition. I have more confidence in myself and my fitness level than I've ever had. The workouts were tough but enjoyable. I always came away from my sessions feeling that I was pushed my hardest and came away with a new sense of accomplishment. Multiple workouts with Mollie weekly kept me accountable and on track in my weight loss journey. Mollie--thanks for all your help in creating a new and better me!"

"It's exciting for me to see the progress I've made with Mollie! One of my biggest concerns was back pain that I've struggled with on and off for years. With the workouts I've done each week with Mollie, I've seen a huge improvement, with little or no pain in the past few months. Plus, I have more muscle tone and I like the way my clothes fit. When we began I couldn't do one situp; now it's part of my rotations and I'm improving. I feel great! !"

"Mollie, thank you so much for all your help! Not even just the training sessions but generally being such great support. All your knowledge on health and fitness really meant the world to me. I couldn't have done it without you! For the first time in my life I own a bikini. Never in a million years would I have thought a two piece would be on my body but I got one!!!"

"I had tried for a couple of years to lose the weight I had gained by not eating right or working out, but just could not do it. My blood pressure was so high I was having headaches daily and my doctor wanted to put me on several medications. I started working out with Kurt and lost 15% body fat and more than 20 pounds of fat! I am in the best shape of my life and do not have to take medication. I have Kurt to thank for that. It's amazing how when you do what your trainer tells you to do, the pounds fall off. I would definitely recommend working out with Kurt to meet your fitness and health needs!" -- Tamelynadd text.
"Kurt has made a significant impact in my life. His expertise in fitness training has helped me to safely push my body beyond where I thought possible. His continued enthusiasm and support motivates me to constantly achieve greater results and increase my confidence. Without a doubt, Kurt has changed my life!"
"I did circuit training 5 days a week for 6 years but I still had back and knee pain, and was unable to loose weight. With Kurt's personal training and input on proper nutrition, I've lost 63 pounds of fat and gained 13 pounds of lean body tissue in less than six months! I no longer have back pain; my knee joints work as they are suppose to: they help rather than hinder, and I feel better than I have in years...Working one on one with my personal trainer challenges me and encourages me to give it my all -- plus, the results make me want to keep going! I'm 55 years old -- It's never too late to start!" -- Sue
I felt having a personal trainer was an expense that I didn't want or should not obtain. With this thought still in my mind I spotted one of Cindy's advertisements. I decided to make an appointment for a free evaluation. After spending an hour with her I realized that many of my frustrations and worries had to do with my weight, handling daily stress and not exercising I have been working with Cindy 2 times a week for the last 10 months. The results have been wonderful. My blood pressure and weight is continuing to go down. My flexibility improves each month, I am able to control my daily stress and enjoy an increase in energy. The monthly expense is nothing compared to what I have gained in my quality of life. Cindy is the greatest!!

Two things really impressed me with Cindy; the depth of the personalization and her ability to motivate me. I could tell she considered my specific needs and put much thought into my program, both during our exercise time and out side of that too. And she got me to do things I would never do on my own.

I have been overweight and without energy or strength most of my life. I began a fitness-training program with Cindy 4 ½ months ago and have lost 13% of my body fat, about 10 inches and 12 pounds. I have tried every diet and quick fix in the book and can honestly say Cindy's approach, 'slow and steady win the race', and focusing on good aspects of eating and physical fitness has been the best thing I've ever done for myself. I feel wonderful and strong physi cally and emotionally. I cannot say enough good things about her individualized approach. I truly look forward to her visits and enjoy working with her every week.
