Kirk Johnson ~ Certified with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)

http://www.refreshfitness.com/details/

Kirk Johnson

Kirk is all about 'inspiring the desire to live a healthy lifestyle.' He's a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, certified NASM PT, AFAA PT, Yoga fit, Cardio Kickboxing, Kettlebell and Spinning. Kirk attended the U of M on a track scholarship for 3 years.

Kirk's 15-years of fitness knowledge and experience helps keep the innovation and variety in his workout programs and makes them exciting and creative. He continues to help and inspire a healthy change in the lives of many of his clients.

His dance and drumming background has taken him around the world several times as well as to multiple TV and video appearances with Prince & NPG, Candy Dulfer, Lorie Line and other professional artists for 20+ years. He continues to create original music and fitness programs that keep him and his clients motivated.

Because of his continued road travel and being at the mercy of hotel and fast food, Kirk understands why it's important to make the right healthy choices when on the road and/or vacation.

Kirk has a fitness retreat coming up? Great. He's probably looking forward to getting back into training after this ordeal.

I thought people knew he was a trainer? Wasn't the jet Prince was on owned by the gym owner that Kirk worked for?

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

That was my understanding. That the jet was owned by the Lifetime Fitness that Kirk worked (works?) for, which I think is the same Lifetime Fitness that allowed people to park in their lot and take shuttle buses over to PP when there were certain events going on at PP (but I'm not 100% sure about that so if someone else knows for sure, please correct me).

The plane was leased by Lifetime Fitness. See link below for owner information.

I don't consider Breitbart a legitimate, credible source for anything. Their reporting is heavily biased with a right wing extremist, conspiratorial slant.

Sorry I wasn't meaning to cause a ruffle. Here's another link confused

Yes, I believe you are correct on all of the above.
It was reported locally that kirk is employed at Lifetime Fitness and it was Lifetime's corporate jet and pilot carrying prince and his small entourage to and from that last show.
I assumed it was the Lifetime that's located on Hwy 5 just a short distance west of PP. That would make sense but again it's just an assumpton due to location.
It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN

This article is from NBC news. It states who owns the plane.

Thanks, I think that whether or not the jet was owned or leased is neither here nor there except to conspiranoids trying to low key imply that Warren Buffett's ties had something to do with what happened to Prince. I read that on one of the threads here. rolleyes

I was simply alluding to the fact that Kirk was a long time trainer by pointing out who he worked for. On topic, does anyone know if he is still with that gym or is he going free-lance by doing retreats and such?

I apologize if I offended you babynoz. I was answering Repy #4. I had the links, I shared them. I

did not mention any conspiracy nor did I provide any commentary toward that subject. I merely

provided the links. Again I apologize if that offended you it was not my intent.

No worries, I don't think it was you who started the conspiracy talk around the origin of the plane but there has been a tendency toward the death conspiracy theorists jacking threads lately so I was hoping not to attract them to this one. Breitbart is in the conspiranoid hall of fame. lol

The only reason I mentioned the plane was to identify the gym owner whom Kirk was working for.

Who cares about Kirk Johnson. I think we have enough open threads about him, we didn't need another.
