“I came to Kyle all but ready to throw in the towel in weightlifting. I was the standard “Max out everyday” kind of guy but knew I needed help from someone that was not only a knowledgeable coach but had competed at the level I aspired to be at. Before working with Kyle my best total was 250kg and less than 3 months after starting with him I totaled 265kg at the 2019 American open 1. Fast forward 6 months and I totaled 286kg, putting me within qualifying range of American open finals. So from Jan 2019 to Oct 2019 I added 36kg to my total and remained injury free and a major contributor to this was Kyle and his ability to identify/correct faults.”

“Perspective: the lens in which you view something. Weightlifting “success” doesn’t always appear to be there depending on the perspective you have. Day to day, week to week and even month to month progress may not be seen. It’s very much like cooking something in a crockpot but yet expecting it to be done as fast as a microwave dinner. This month marks 2 years since I started training Olympic weightlifting 100% of the time. I took some time to change my perspective, even though I had some great results, following my last competition and look at weightlifting through a long term lens. To make a long story short, if you are looking for a coach or weightlifting programming, check out Kyle Dosterschill and Hunger in the Wild.”

“As a personal trainer and gym owner, I appreciate the importance of high quality programming and coaching. And as a masters athlete with a total hip replacement surgery under my belt, customized programming and a flexible approach is key. Kyle is hands down the best coach and mentor I could have asked for when I decided to start training and competing in Olympic weightlifting. Whether your goal is to gain strength, learn the skill of Olympic weightlifting, or start competing, Kyle will help you succeed. With Kyle as my coach, I medaled at the Masters Pan Ams, won gold at the Masters World Championships and medaled at various local meets. Kyle makes training and competing fun and challenging, and will make sure you are always motivated and pushing your limits.”

"Been training at HITW for close to 3 years. I focus on weightlifting, but have taken the S&C and mobility classes. All programming is phenomenal if you want to see serious improvement in performance. The coaches are not only incredibly adept in their field, but also genuine and down to earth people. It can be intimidating to walk into a gym for the first time; the coaches here will guide you through everything and you will never feel like an outsider. This place is all about performance and people. It’s 100% worth checking out. For the more experienced athletes: no frills training. If you’re up for the grind, Kyle and Michele will help you achieve your goals fast. It’s hard work— not going to sugar coat it— but you’ll have access to top notch coaches programming and support network. In 2 years of weightlifting I have added more than 30kg to my snatch, clean and jerk, and back squat (each)."

“I came to Hunger In The Wild as a “self taught weightlifter” quickly learned that my technique needed some overhaul to really progress my competitiveness with the sport. Within a month my lifts were more crisp and technically sound because I was actually able to put the strength I had into the barbell. The lifts are becoming second nature and missing lifts is starting to be a rare occurrence. Overall Kyle has made twice the weightlifter I could have became on my own and it seems like I am only getting better every time I train at HITW. Kyle is a great teacher of the lifts and is very relatable when trying to correct any technique issues. So if your in the DFW area and are looking to become a better weightlifter or just enjoy weightlifting HITW has great coaches and a great community.”
