I joined S3 in the beginning of 2022. I go to the Hybrid Strength Training sessions 3 days a week. Originally, I was looking to lose weight and build muscle, basically counteract the fact I’m over 30 and going soft! I’m definitely feeling stronger, and things are looking better in the body composition department.
What I like about S3 is the group atmosphere. I mostly workout with the same group of people each week. Everyone is super supportive and that’s its own kind of motivation to get out of bed and hit the gym.
Brad has been a great coach. One of the most satisfying and frustrating experiences in the gym was when Brad first helped me with my bench press. I had been lifting weights for a few years without much direction. So when we were doing bench press at the gym I figured I had the Bench on lock. Brad watched me do a few reps and suggested some minor tweaks in hand positioning and how I should set myself up before I even unracked the weight. With a few of his suggestions I set a new personal best for bench press that day! It was exhilarating because I had never lifted that much weight before, AND incredibly frustrating because if I had had someone with professional experience take a second to make some minor adjustments, who knows how much I could be lifting today!
To anyone considering joining here at S3, I would say this gym is for you! If you like compact workouts that leave you feeling like you’ve accomplished something when you’re done. If you like variety, then you’ll always like going to S3. Brad and his team are with you every step of the way during the workout with tips and they really know what they are talking about! Don’t wait any longer! Join the S3 family today!
In the weight room, Brad has over 20 years experience on both sides of the equation, as a coach and a client. Having been an athlete for most of his life he has had access to some world class coaching. These opportunities to learn from the best in the business have helped him formulate his personal
philosophies and create the foundation for his career as a strength coach.
“My unique perspective, having been a client and a coach, allows me to see all sides of the equation. I know what works to be motivated and pushed as an athlete as well as what needs to be done as your coach. Having been a client allows me to understand the day to day struggles real people go through and how to help push through the tougher days!”

Kaitlin krout
I am from Veedersburg Indiana where I graduated from Fountain Central high school in 2017 and was a 3 sport athlete throughout my high school career. This is where I developed a love for sport and exercise and began to understand the physical and mental benefits it can provide!
In 2020, I graduated from the University of Southern Indiana with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with minors in Sport Management and Intercollegiate Athletics. After experience working under a Sport Psychologist, I developed a passion for the field and went on to get my Master’s degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Sport and Exercise Psychology where I expanded my passion for the mind and body connection!
Since then, I have become an ACE certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor.
My goal is to help individuals create a positive relationship with exercise and to find balance and motivation within their fitness journey.
When I’m not training at S3, you can find me working at a local health clinic as a Health Mentor, or enjoying all things outdoors!
Fun fact: I just ran my first half-marathon in May 🙂
