Hey! My name is Kelsi Cummins, but you probably know me by @dogsanddumbbells. If you don't, you're probably a bit confused. I quickly became better known by my instagram handle because it touches on two things people love: working out and their dogs. I own a private training facility in Knoxville where I combine those two things with my other passion: personal training. 

At Dogs and Dumbbells, I work with some of the best trainers in Knoxville to help fight back against unused gym memberships and peloton bikes, ridiculous contracts, and the most recent weight loss "transformation" trends  that have previously stopped people from getting results. We believe in livable fitness, which means together we find what works FOR you and your lifestyle. My expertise range from injury prevention and rehabilitation to strength training and weight loss. I have coached an array of clients from novice powerlifters to competitive lumberjacks, to spartan racers and marathon runners. What these people all had in common was one thing: they trusted me and they ditched any limitations previously set by doctors, family history, old aches and pains, and most importantly -  the voices in their own heads. 

We teach people to deny all limits, and  challenge YOU to do the same.
