Kyle Eckstine
From the physical therapy office to the training floor.
Kyle runs the evening floor at Stony Brook.
A former basketball player with two years inside a physical therapy office, he bridges the gap between rehab and real strength.
Why train with Kyle, in Kyle’s words
“I’m a trainer with five years of consistent lifting experience and a background as a former basketball player. I spent two years working in a physical therapy office, which sharpened my skills in injury rehab and mobility work. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or chasing new personal records, I bring a blend of athletic experience and rehab knowledge to help you reach your goals.”
What it takes to coach at Redefine
Nobody trains clients at Redefine Fitness without passing a screening test, an in-person skill practical, and a written exam just to get hired, then testing out of a 30-day onboarding against our 100-page Training Master Guide. Every Thursday from 1-2 PM we close both gyms so the entire staff trains together, and every specialist sits annual exams on a tiered education ladder. We also created a New York State Department of Labor approved Fitness Specialist apprenticeship. Fitness is medicine, and this is what the standard behind it looks like.
