Kurtis Haupt, RMT SPORT MASSAGE & EXERCISE REHAB SPECIALIST
Kurtis discovered his passion for exercise at a young age. Growing up on a farm in Ontario gave Kurtis exposure to a wide variety of physical activities and youth sports. As an only child living in a rural area, sports participation developed from team school sports (soccer, baseball) to individual sports such as mountain biking & competitive downhill skiing. After sustaining an injury in 2009, Kurtis used movement and exercise to rehabilitate his body so that he could continue to do the things he enjoyed. In the process of returning to the sport, Kurtis fell in love with nutrition & weight training, as he continued to learn about his body and how to train to perform better.
In 2013, Kurtis moved to Toronto to pursue an education at the University of Toronto for a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology. During the time spent at the University of Toronto, Kurtis had the opportunity to serve as an intern coach for two professional placements. Kurtis spent a year with the University of Toronto Varsity Blues Strength & Conditioning Team, working as a Placement Strength & Conditioning Coach, assisting in the creation/prescription of training programs for the Hockey, Football and Rugby Team. Kurtis experienced his second major injury while participating in the University of Toronto Ironsports Powerlifting 3-Lift Classic. While rehabbing his body, Kurtis decided he wanted to help others learn about how to restore, maintain & improve their bodies.
The combination of these experiences led Kurtis to become a personal trainer. During the 2 years Kurtis spent working as a full-time personal trainer, he completed the NSCA exam to become a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist and completed the training to become a Level 1 Fascial Stretch Therapist.
After realizing the importance of balancing exercise with an effective recovery, Kurtis was inspired to further his skillset once again to become a Registered Massage Therapist. In 2022, Kurtis graduated from Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy, with a goal to better serve his future clients exercise & wellness goals through blending his understanding of human movement, sports performance and hands on recovery techniques.
