About Donnie:
Donnie Kjelden has earned bachelors degree is in Criminal Justice from Brown College. The physical aspects of a career in criminal justice sparked his interest in becoming a certified personal trainer. Donnie has always wanted to help people and found his calling through personal training. He is currently attending the Minnesota School of Business/Globe College seeking an Associate of Arts Degree with an emphasis as a Health and Fitness Specialist, but Donnie has already trained lawyers, CEOs, professors and physical therapists to name a few. He has helped his clients make massive strides in their physical health. He has a client that has training with him for 10 months and lost 67 lbs and completed his first 10K and another 60 year old client that has lost 40 lbs after training for only 4 months. Donnie makes sure that all of his clients are ready to train every time he shows up for a session and arriving 15 minutes before a session is just part of his work ethic. Donnie also makes sure to take the time to check how the client’s day/week is going. Before and after each session, Donnie asks if his client has any questions, comments, or concerns because he knows that the mental side of exercise is just as important is the physical side.
