Kurt Gorrell has been an athlete and fitness enthusiast his entire life. Growing up, he played soccer for 13 years, wrestled for 4 and was a competitive gymnast for 10. After retiring from gymnastics as a competitor he started coaching team and recreational gymnastics to students ages 3 to 73. He started dancing at the late age of 20 and recently finished a 16 year career as a professional dancer. He danced principal and soloist roles with many regional ballet companies as well as contemporary companies. Broadway National Tour credits include Contact in 2005 and Twyla Tharp’s Movin’ Out in 2008-9. In between dance engagements, Gorrell turned his talents to personal training.

He also holds Pilates certifications in Mat, Reformer, Cadillac and Chair from Pilates Academy International, and he is a Master Trainer in Redcord® Active, a dual suspension training system.
