ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Celebrity New York City personal trainer Kevin Richardson is the creator of Naturally Intense High Intensity Training and the founder of Manhattan’s Naturally Intense Personal Training Services. (Note that as of March 2nd 2020 Online Personal Training and Diet Coaching with Celebrity Online Trainer Kevin Richardson is now available). A former international fitness and nutrition consultant for UNICEF, Kevin is also a highly prized guest speaker at corporate events, working with major international corporations to help improve the health of their employees with his time saving workouts. In a career that has spanned over quarter of a century, he has helped hundreds of clients from celebrities to CEO’s to regular New Yorkers achieve their fitness and weight-loss goals with his program of short-duration, high-intensity workouts. A native of Trinidad and Tobago, Kevin grew up in a fitness-oriented family. He was a painfully thin child who preferred reading books – especially comic books – to playing sports, and often found himself the target of schoolyard bullies. The best way to stand up to them, he decided, was to be like the comic-book heroes he idolized, so he began martial arts training at the age of nine. As he became proficient in karate and ninjutsu, he was, indeed, better able to take care of himself. Unfortunately, while he could fight, he didn’t look like he could; he remained a scrawny kid who had to prove himself over and over. Eventually, he decided it wasn’t enough that he could fight like his comic-book heroes – he needed to look like them, too.

Following in the footsteps of his father, brother and cousin, he began training at age fourteen in natural bodybuilding, a branch of the sport that rejects performance-

A husband and father at age twenty, Kevin left the Caribbean for New York in search of a better life for his family. He found a second home at Brooklyn’s legendary Fifth Avenue Gym, which produced more natural bodybuilding champions than any other facility of its kind. For fifteen years, he worked by day in social services, running a recreational therapy program for people with AIDS and formerly homeless New Yorkers, and by night at the Fifth Avenue Gym, doing personal training. Inspired by his own success, Kevin spent the first ten years of his personal-training career refining the principles of high-intensity training and applying them to his clients. Committed to the scientific method, he set out not to prove but to disprove the effectiveness of ten-minute high-intensity workouts. It wasn’t enough that the system worked for him and his first set of clients; he wanted to determine if the results could be replicated consistently by a wide variety of individuals with a wide range of fitness levels and goals. And indeed, he found that Naturally Intense High-Intensity Training worked for men and women from their 20’s to their 70’s whether they were trying to lose weight, increase endurance, build muscle mass, enhance overall fitness, or develop a world-class physique.
In early 2009, at the depth of the last recession, Kevin took a leap of faith, leaving his job in social services to bring the Naturally Intense 10-Minute Workout to a larger audience. Headquartered in the Chelsea/Flatiron District, his personal-training business was honored with the Best of Manhattan Award in 2012, 2013,2014, 2016 and 2017. His clients have included various celebrities, actors, politicians, business executives, athletes, models, natural-physique competitors, Navy SEALs, and plenty of ordinary folks. Some have traveled regularly from as far away as London and Singapore to train with him, while others have commuted weekly from Massachusetts and North Carolina. Kevin is a a major figure in the fitness community with over 2 million readers of his award-winning blog (naturallyintense.net/blog), and his Naturally Intense 10-Minute Workout has reached a broader audience over the years through features on CBS on the Couch, Fox 5 Good Day New York, and the CBS Morning News, The Daily Mail and The Wall Street Journal. Kevin is also a highly in demand public speaker, and is often hired to speak about his own journey and present his unique Naturally Intense methodology of better results in less time at conferences across the country. A true Renaissance Man, Kevin is also an internationally published fitness and dance photographer and he is the creator of the overwhelmingly popular, Dance As Art-

🔥 HIGH-INTENSITY INCLINE DUMBBELL FLYES 🔥
Within the context of Naturally Intense High Intensity Training, chest day isn’t just a workout—it’s going off to war, and today, we went all in. 💥💪
✅First set was with a pair of 60lb Nuobell Dumbbells to warm up and get my blood flowing as it was the first exercise of the day.
✅Second set was with 70lbs immediately after, no rest save to quickly change the weight for what I call a "check set"— as it determines my strength level for that day and gives me an idea of what my final weight will be.
✅ Then resting only long enough to increase the weight, my last "All Out Set" was with the 80lb dumbbells and I eked out seven gut-wrenching reps with my training partner @egcitrin shouting encouragement and I got to the point where I could not do another full flye even if my life depended on it! 💪
But with Naturally intense High Intensity Training, we don`t stop there, so I switched to partial presses, really stretching at the bottom and kept blasting through the pain to absolute failure!🔥
This isn’t just about lifting weights—it’s about breaking barriers and pushing past limits. Leaving everything you have on that bench! 💯
Give this progression a try next time you train chest and let me know how it goes!💥
Thanks for watching and as always, Excelsior!!!👊 #naturallyintense

🔥 CHEST DAY PAIN = GAIN! 🔥
Naturally Intense High Intensity Training is brutal!
Isometrics are an essential aspect of our training style and I took my chest workout to the next level today by starting with a punishing 20 second hold while doing incline dumbbell flyes! 💥💪
It was the last of three sets and time to go all out and so I had a pair of 80lb Nuobells in my hands and I held the dumbbells in the fully stretched incline flye position for a grueling 20-second isometric hold—🔥
Holds like these really stimulate pectoral muscle involvement and can be a key factor in helping you realize maximum chest development.
But my chest was on fire, my arms were shaking, with my muscles screaming at me to to quit... but I refused to give in and I had my training partner @egcitrin screaming at me as well to help me keep my focus!
(Thanks Erika!)
Then, with everything left in the tank (which wasn’t much 😅), I cranked out an all-out set of dumbbell flyes to complete failure!
The kind where your muscles give out before your mind does!
Full stretch, full squeeze, no mercy! 💀
This is the kind of training that separates good from great and as a natural athlete you always have to be pushing past limits and embracing the pain, as it`s the only path to that next level of growth! 💯
I was aiming for 6 reps after that 20 second hold and you`re going to have to watch the video to see how many I got!!!
Drop a 🔥 if you’re down to try this next chest day and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

Build MASSIVE BICEPS With Arm Blaster Hammer Curls!💪
Arm Blaster Hammer Curls are an absolute mass-building must for your biceps! A staple in Naturally Intense High-Intensity Training, this variation takes regular arm blaster curls to the next level. The neutral grip allows you to lift heavier, isolate the biceps, and hit the brachialis for even more growth!
This was my final set, grinding my way up from 40lb to 60lb dumbbells—nonstop, all-out, true Naturally Intense style!
I was aiming for 12 reps, but when I still had some fight left, I dug deep for two more gut-wrenching reps until I hit complete muscular failure! Not bad for a 50-year-old, if I do say so myself and thanks to my training partner, @egcitrin for the encouragement! 😤🔥
💥 Mt biceps still sore, and the pump was unreal! 💥
Try this out on your next arm day and remember—go all out! 💯
Thanks for watching and as always. Excelsior!!!💪#naturallyintense
