About Me

Kenny Vertus | Founder of UNRVLD Performance

I’m Kenny Vertus, the founder of UNRVLD Performance, a Boston-based personal training brand that blends elite-level athletic training with a personalized, accessible approach. My journey began working with athletes striving to compete at the Division 1 and professional levels before expanding to help individuals from all backgrounds achieve peak performance—whether in sports, fitness, or everyday life.

With a degree in Exercise Science from Bridgewater State University, my mission is to empower people through movement, mindset, and sustainable habits. I’ve had the privilege of hosting fitness experiences across Boston’s Seaport, top universities like BU, BC, Northeastern, and RISD, as well as companies including Bumble and Vibram FiveFingers. Additionally, I’ve led events for young athletes in partnership with the Boston Celtics, reinforcing my commitment to fostering strength and confidence in the next generation.

What Makes UNRVLD Performance Unique

UNRVLD Performance isn’t just about training—it’s about transformation. What sets it apart is the holistic approach that combines high-level athletic performance training with a deep understanding of mindset, recovery, and sustainable habit-building. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter programs; every client gets a tailored experience designed around their individual needs, whether they’re looking to enhance their athleticism, build strength, improve mobility, or simply develop a healthier relationship with fitness. My background in working with elite athletes informs my approach, but I apply that same level of precision and commitment to every client, ensuring they train with intention and purpose.

Beyond just workouts, UNRVLD Performance fosters a culture of accountability and empowerment. Whether it’s through personalized coaching, engaging group experiences, or hosting fitness events that bring people together, the goal is always the same—helping individuals unlock their full potential, both physically and mentally.

Client Impact

The impact of UNRVLD Performance goes beyond aesthetics or short-term goals. I’ve helped former athletes regain their confidence after leaving competitive sports, professionals build the energy and endurance to thrive in their daily lives, and everyday individuals break through mental and physical barriers they never thought possible. From guiding clients toward significant weight loss to helping others achieve PRs in strength, endurance, or mobility, the focus is always on long-term success rather than quick fixes.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is seeing clients realize they are capable of more than they believed—whether that means running their first race, feeling stronger in their daily routine, or rediscovering a love for movement. My goal is to create lasting change by equipping people with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to sustain their progress for life.

My Journey

My passion for fitness and performance stems from my own transformation. In high school, I struggled with obesity and self-esteem before discovering the power of movement and disciplined nutrition. Fitness became more than just a way to change my body—it became a way to reshape my mindset, build confidence, and inspire others to do the same. That experience fuels my approach today: no matter where you’re starting from, your goals are my goals. Let’s redefine your limits together.
