Derek Toshner: Biography
Hi, Thanks for stopping by my RKC page. My gym is called TNT Fitness Results, and is located in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin on Rickmeyer Drive just across the street from Menards. I run classes and personal training sessions for a variety of individuals including: 1. Those starting an exercise program to lose weight 2. Those looking to break a fitness or weight loss plateau 3. Fire fighters, police officers, and other professionals who need conditioning 4. Under developed athletes 5. Highly conditioned athletes My background is in strength and conditioning, and I competed for many years at a very high level of track and field. Today I workout to keep my body in tune for an active lifestyle involving rock climbing, as well as to lead by example to those looking to improve their fitness level. My philosophy is if I preach it, I must be it. I expect my clients to improve, but demand improvement from myself in areas of spirit, mind, and body. Live Fit, Derek Toshner RKC, CSCS TNT Fitness Results "Real Fitness. Real Results." 920-251-4481 derek@tntfr.com

Indomitable Spirit Rated 10 out of 10
My 5 year old son is an orange belt in Ty Kwon Do. I use one of his terms to describe my experience at TNT Fitness. According to my son, Indomitable Spirit means "The fire inside you that makes you good." I started at TNT at the end of July 2009. I am a relative "Newby" at Kettlebells, yet feel compelled to write this review for Derek.

Today was my daughter's first day at gymnastics, she is 17 months old. After a half hour of chasing my cutie pie around the gym, I loaded my kids in the car and took my son to Flag Football. I previously mentioned my son also takes Ty Kwon do (3 days a week). As a busy mom, I hardly have time to think about myself. In my earlier life, before kids and a husband, I was passionate about gymnastics and dance. I was captain of my dance teams in both high school and college. In college we took a 1st two years in a row at the Midwest Continent Conference for small schools. After college I taught dance to grade school kids. At the age of 25 while identifying migratory birds in Door County for my Master's Thesis for a degree in Environmental Science (emphasis in Biology) I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. I now have no thyroid and issues maintaining blood calcium. I became afraid to push myself too far physically. I gave up a lot of physical activities, including dance.

I came to TNT to "Get fit." But what I found was more than that. Derek has magically transformed his students into TNT Kettlebell addicts. Yes, newbie that I am, I am an addict too! I am addicted to the new found strength and stamina my body has. I am addicted to the praise friends, family and even relative strangers give me on my appearance. I am becoming an addict at eating healthier. Most of all, I am addicted to the indomitable spirit that Derek has shared with each of his students. I feel good. It is good to be around others with this spirit.

Thank you Derek!!!

Great way to improve your life in a simple way! Rated 10 out of 10
Derek Toshner is a great instructor. I have been training with him for about 3 months now and I see my bodyfat go down and muscle build up. I work out twice a week and every time Derek comes up with new excersises. It stays interesting that way and you never know what you will be up for that training session. Derek not just teaches Kettle Bell but also lets you know how to improve your whole life style. What to eat and not to eat etc. Kettle Bell is a great way to excersise and easy to do at home as well. As soon as you think it is getting to easy; you just get a heavier Bell.. It's never easy and that is why I am doing it!!

Real Strength Inspiration! Rated 10 out of 10
Since Derek has introduced me to kettlebells, my body has undergone a substantial change. There is definition where I didn't think was possible and my true strength has shot through the roof. Being an avid triathlete and personal trainer, I thought I was in decent shape. However, Derek has pushed me above and beyond my limits as well as inspired me to register for the RKC in April. Kettlebells will forever be a staple of my workouts. Thanks Derek!

Decrease fat while building functional strength through kettlebells Rated 9 out of 10
A real motivator with a deep concern for his students Derek leads by example. My results so far to date with kettlebell training along and Derek's healthy eating suggestions have inspired me to add a THIRD day to my workout schedule. I have lost over 25lbs and more importantly, I continue to improve my overall functional strength.

Derek's workout are anything but, routine. Each workout is either geared toward strength or cardiovascular, alternating each day from upper body to lower body routines which keeps the body guessing what muscle group is going to hurt next. It's not easy but, nothing worhtwile ever is. The best part is as you continue the program the pain is much more bearable and the results keep you coming back for more. It also helps to have a great group of people to workout with. Derek has a way to bring out your best no matter what your level of fitness may be. I strongly encourage anyone to check it out.

Awesome Motivator! Rated 10 out of 10
Derek is an awesome trainer! I enjoy running marathons, but I about a year ago I had an injury that made it painful for me to run. I gained weight and my running times slowed drastically. In August I started working with Derek, thorough he's expert knowledge in the use of Kettle Bells and he's ability to motivate, I'm back on the road again, feeling stronger and healthier then ever!

He Truly Leads by Example!! Rated 10 out of 10
I have been working with Derek as my personal trainer for almost a year now, and the results have been fantastic! With powerful motivation and truly inspired workouts, I have been able to lose 10lbs overall and even more importantly, I have been able to maintain normal blood sugar readings! I am a type-two diabetic and weight-loss is VERY difficult, but by adjusting my medication and continuing my 5-day-a-week excercise (two days are Kettlebell workouts), I am able to feel GREAT, tightly control blood sugar readings, and even lose some weight, while having fun, gaining muscle and functional strength! Derek is easily the most "FIT" person I know, and I wouldn't be able to follow his regimen and believe so strongly in it, if he wasn't. What a great example.

Turn Back The Clock! Rated 10 out of 10
I have been training with Derek for 9 months now. He told a group of us at a business meeting that he was starting a high intensity type of training that focused on useable strength. He also said that it wasn't an easy workout but it produced amazing results for those that could do it.

Accepting that challenge was the best decision I have ever made for my health.

I workout 3 times a week and each workout is a different combination of exercises, which is a refreshing change from typical weightlifting. Derek is a hands on trainer that works out with us and insists on proper technique for maximum effect. The results from Kettlebell training and Dereks counsel on diet and suppliments have resulted in increased strength, endurance, flexibility and general well-being. I'm now wearing the same size clothes that I wore when I was in my late 20's, which is very rewarding now that I'm 52!

Better Than Body Building Rated 10 out of 10
I've always looked for a challenge. I studied Karate when I was 18, taught aerobics at 25, then I was a body builder at age 35 - competing and taking three awards.

I went from a physical job to one that was more sedate, so at age 46 I decided it was time to get back into shape again.

I tried Zumba, aerobics and weight lifting again. My heart wasn't in it and I couldn't get excited about doing any of them.

Then I discovered Derek and Kettle Bell training. I love it - I've never met an instructor that is so versitile in his work outs! There have never been two alike. I also really like the way my body feels - I feel strong and in control. Derek is always there to support all of us! He sincerely cares about how we progress. Derek not only helps us with our work outs, but diet as well. He is the best!

You never know what to expect at your next workout class... Rated 10 out of 10
No two workouts are the same; this is what is so great about it. Also being in a motivated group with Derek as a very motivated instructor helps a lot. Derek keeps his classes 'fresh' and he knows how to keep you interested. It is hard and fun at the same time; you see results and that is what matters!!

The last piece of the puzzle. Rated 10 out of 10
My son Henry Guell was Derek's first customer at his Fond du Lac location. Henry started working out in December 2008. Henry is a high school shot and discus athlete at Saint Mary's Springs High School. He is also a 3 time state qualifier in these events. He has always been an avid weighlifter at school to stay strong but he really didn't have functional strength until he started working with Derek. He started with a 20 kilo kettle bell in December. Last week he did a Turkish Getup with 105# on the 7 foot olympic barbell. And his track performance has been excellent so far this season. He has competed in 3 meets so far this season and has set new personal records in each of them. I like to call his kettle bell workouts the final piece of the puzzle that will earn him his goals at the state track championships this season. Derek has not only been a great motivator and instructor, but he has been a mentor and friend as well. We feel so fortunate to have Derek come into Henry's life at this time. The combination of Derek's track background and his expertise at teaching the kettlebell has been great for us.
