Ken is so smart with diatary and physical needs. He also loves what he does which makes it even better.

Our daughter has been training with Ken for almost 4 years now. He has approached her training from a holistic point of view - discussing all health aspects with her including nutrition. Prior to our first STARS competition he even prepared a proper snack for the kids to consume prior to competition. He frequently attends competitions to warm skaters up. Ken is often in the bleachers at competition. He is there to not only root on his skaters but also to watch their progression and take notes on areas for further training. He has continuously provided us with detailed progress reports and has contacted me when he felt my daughter wasn't performing to her best ability. He has been extremely reliable - only canceling lessons with less than a day's notice only once in four years. He has built up a tremendous rapport with the skaters. My daughter likes to go to his training sessions (the same girl that doesn't like gym class). We are extremely happy with our daughter's progress in core strength, agility and speed. We would love it if Ken would be able to train at DSC.

Our three daughters, Charlene, Audrey, and Vivien have trained with Ken over the past 7 months and we are very pleased with the results. We observed dramatic year-over-year improvements in the S.T.A.R.S. testing assessment in August 2014 after only having trained with Ken for 3 months at the time. We are again looking forward to S.T.A.R.S. testing this year to provide the measurable improvement over the past year. Ken’s training of our daughters has translated onto the ice as increased power and core strength is evident in their skating. We are very impressed with Ken's approach to training and the information he provides in his very detailed and candid written performance reports. Ken has shown great commitment in the training our daughters and is invested in their continued development. We have been members at DSC for the past 7 months and the synergy between the World Class DSC Coaching and the supplemental training that Ken is providing continues to exceed our expectations. Ken would be a great addition to DSC as he would be provided the opportunity to observe the athletes skating in order to further specialize their individual training programs to optimize their skating performance.

Ken has provided quality training for our daughter. He kept us and her coach inform of her progress and when there were concerns or observations for potential improvements, he shared those with us and worked through Mollie's coach to address. Very professional! Well informed and observant.

Ken Kashubara was recommended to my family through four families that use his services. I have not met a more prepared or educated fitness professional. His rapport with children and his ability to motivate them to push themselves to do more is fantastic. I have two children who utilize his training and they are both always excited to go to class. Ken's progress reports are impressive and his measurements help to quantify agility, flexibility and strength gains in the most accurate way that I have seen. I highly encourage DSC to bring Ken's training "in-house." The convenience and benefit to the skaters would be wonderful.

In less than 10 months training by Ken, my daughter gained the tremendous improvements on her physical strength and agility. Ken also keeps a chart to track each student’s progress, which stimulated my daughter to work hard and efficiently. Ken’s training method also helped my daughter to build her self -confidence. Ken has done an incredible job on the off ice training and will be a significant addition to DSC.

Ken would be a tremendous asset to DSC. Over the past 2 years Ken has helped my daughter's skating performance with custom workouts that are focused on strengthening her weaknesses.

While Gabe has only worked with Ken for a short time, what impresses me most is that Ken was able to get Gabe really excited about his off-ice training. As much as Gabe loves skating, he always hated off-ice time. From the first evaluation session with Ken, Gabe was begging to be able to go back! I

My daughter Bridget has trained with Ken for approximately three years. The difference he made in her skating is remarkable. Her speed, agility, core strength, and most importantly her stamina improved tremendously. Bridget suffers from lower back pain when she skates. Ken taught her exercises to strengthen her core while not stressing her back further. That helped her a ton. Ken always challenges Bridget to beat her personal bests in strength or reps. When we receive her progress reports, it is amazing to see how much further she could push herself. When she left for college last fall, Bridget was in the best physical shape of her life. Ken taught her so much about fitness, how it transfers to the ice, and now how to maintain and stay physically fit. Aside from being very knowledgeable and a super nice guy, Ken is also extremely accommodating. When Bridget comes home on break from college, he still manages to find time for her. One more thing I'd like to mention is that Ken takes the time to come and watch his students compete. I've seen him at many skating competitions.

Ken has helped our daughter build physical, mental strength and self confidence on and off the ice. He would be a great addion to the off ice training staff at the DSC. We highly recommend his work!!

Ken will add tremendous value to DSC off-ice program. He has been working with my daughters for the past 3+ years. He designed workout routines, tracked their progress, and encouraged them to participate S.T.A.R.S. program.

In the first year with Ken, my daughter Lauren made significant improvement in strength, speed, and flexibility. When she suffered a stress fracture in her hip earlier this year, Ken was an integral part of her rehabilitation. In conjunction with her physical therapists, Ken provided modified workouts for her to avoid further injury and to rebuild and strengthen problem areas. Ken would be a significant asset to DSC and would provide much needed growth in its off-ice training.

Courtney gained more from Ken's training in one year in terms of strength, speed, agility and body composition than she received from the DSC trainers over a 3 year period. His STARS specific training leading up to the testing was excellent and the increase in scores demonstrates measurable results. Whether in a group setting or one-on-one, Ken's training methods produce positive outcomes. It would be extremely unwise not to utilize Ken's talents for the benefit of our skaters.

Ken has made such a difference in my daughter's skating. Since she has been working with Ken, she has gained the strength and agility necessary to move forward. She has gained speed and recently passed her juvenile moves test. She has truly become a different skater and much of the credit is due to Ken's training. Additionally, he has always been extremely accomodating, taking her during the day when we are at the rink and being willing to reschedule and work around issues as they arose. Ken would be a phenomonal addition to the off-ice training program at DSC.
