Introduction: I started EKG Fitness to help individuals transform their lives. I know how overwhelming it can be find the time and especially the motivation to exercise. I push you enough for you to realize you have the power to achieve success. I specialize in Mental Skills Training (goal setting, time management, self confidence, stress management, motivation, attention and concentration control), Group/Private, and In-home/Outdoors Training. My expertise is in Endurance Training, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), Strength and Conditioning Training, Weight Loss, Behavior/Lifestyle Change, Mental Skills Training for Fitness and Everyday Life, Functional Training, Healthy Lifestyle Awareness, Athletic Performance, Private Swim & Triathlon Coaching, and Water Fitness Training. Initial session includes a health and fitness discussion, nutritional coaching, goal setting, and discuss any other pertinent information. I am a firm believer that incorporating positive mental training with fitness helps to achieve the greatest results. Workout session will have a fitness and cognitive component. Programs are designed around specific client goals. The greatest enjoyment I get from my job is when clients tell me that because of using the tools I provide for them, they are able to try new things or able to do things they once were able to do.

We had EKG Fitness (Ed) work with our 13-year old son Mason. Mason is very active and has been playing football and baseball since third grade. About one year before we found Ed, Mason had developed a bad habit of bobbling his head when he was running. This clearly slowed down his running. Mason was very becoming very frustrated with this lack of speed but direction from us (his parents) and his coaches was not helping. When I asked Ed if he could work with Mason, I was specific that this one area I would like them to work. However, more importantly, I asked Ed to speak to Mason about Masons goals. What did Mason want to improve for himself. Ed created such a great rapport with Mason, they really worked well together. Ed focused on some strength training and running drills. He taught Mason that running isnt all about the act of running. He taught him about building up his muscles and increasing his endurance. Mason would explain to me after a number of their workouts that running fast is a combination of having strong legs, and strong core and being able to pace yourself. While this may seem like knowledge everyone has, up until now only his parents were giving him this information. Now he was getting it from an expert and it sunk in. It made sense to him. It was awesome! More than knowledge and increasing his running skills & speed Ed gave our son confidence. He broke his bad running habits and became faster. His coaches noticed a difference and complimented him on his drive to improve himself. He tried out for different positions in football that he never would have, and learned he loved playing those positions. Would I recommend EKG Fitness to work with one on one, and with youth? Absolutely! He takes the time to listen to your goals. He gives you the tools (knowledge) you need to achieve those goals without making you feel like should know these things already. He makes working out fun and something to look forward to.

My name is Ginger Petersen and I have been working with Edward Kraus and EKG fitness since June 2013. He uses his degree in Kinesiology to help me move with wider range of motion and conditioning to combat my arthritis. Suffering with the pain from two different types of the disease, his exercise program brings me relief and I am able to do the things most people take for granted. I am excited to write that, not only did Ed take me on as a client, but that I now fit into a lower dress size, I can move more freely and have more confidence to tackle the daily challenges we all face.
