Chronic Illness
Eighteen minutes of deep sleep a night. Eight doctors. No answers. A body failing despite doing everything "right".
Kyle Recchia leads the largest privately owned high-intensity strength training company in the United States. He started as a part-time trainer. He still trains three times a week.


Eighteen minutes of deep sleep a night. Eight doctors. No answers. A body failing despite doing everything "right".

When nobody could tell him what was wrong, he found ways to cope. The quiet kind that creeps in slowly and takes hold.

Today: stronger than ever. Leading thousands toward transformation. Writing the book he needed when he was lost.
"Through functional medicine, relentless research, and a faith that refused to quit, I rebuilt my health from the ground up. Not overnight. Not through anything extreme. Through the slow work of learning what’s actually sustainable."
Kyle barely finished high school and dropped out of college. What he had was an obsession with how the body works, so he took pre-med classes, aced anatomy and physiology, and became a certified trainer.
What he lacked in formal education, he never stopped making up for: eight Harvard Business School certifications, Agile and GTD credentials, and a decade-long Vistage membership with two Leadership Award nominations.

After a decade on traditional equipment, Kyle helped build something new. FastFit’s® patented isokinetic exercise technology delivers a full-body strength session in 20 minutes, twice a week.
He switched to it himself and gained 10 pounds of lean muscle in six months, and is now up 25 pounds of lean muscle (DEXA-verified), all after ten years of thinking he’d maxed out.

If you’ve ever known what you should be doing for your health but couldn’t make it stick, Fit for the Calling is about the stuff underneath that. Why willpower runs out. Why most health advice doesn’t work long-term. And what actually does.
It covers exercise, sleep, nutrition, mental health, and stress, but through the lens of identity and purpose rather than just discipline.
Kyle and his wife Tiffani are raising four boys. When he’s not running the company, you’ll find him behind the drums at LS Church or on a motorcycle, mountain bike, surfboard, ski slope, or hiking trail. The whole point of sustainable fitness is using your body for the things and people you love.
