Sound familiar?

You already know strength matters. The hard part was never the workout.

Maybe you've tried the gym, a class, an app, and it never stuck. Or maybe nothing dramatic happened. Things just slowly got harder.

  • Getting up off the floor with the grandkids.
  • Carrying the bags in from the car.
  • A little stiffer every year.

You've built a good life. This is about keeping all of it.

It's everything around the workout that wears people down: the drive, the traffic, waiting on a machine, figuring out what to do. So I took all of that away.

Lucas Hunsicker, founder of Renaissance Projekt

Nice to meet you

I stopped training like a bodybuilder and started training for life.

I'm Lucas. For more than a decade I chased size in the gym, and it caught up with me. Nagging injuries, burnout, the whole thing. That's what sent me to yoga, recovery, and learning how the body actually moves.

In 2023 I found kettlebells. Through hard practice and smart programming, I rebuilt my strength and healed injuries I'd carried for years.

Now I teach people to do the same, with simple tools and a lot of attention on the fundamentals. Every session, I'm teaching you, not just counting reps, so the strength is actually yours.

That's what the name means. A renaissance is a rebirth, and the projekt is you.

How it works

An hour at your house, then you're done. No drive, no waiting, no guessing.

  1. 1

    A free 30 minute call tells us both if this fits.

    Phone or video, whichever you'd rather. We talk about your goals, where you're starting, anything you're working around, and what has or hasn't worked before.

  2. 2

    Your first session shows me exactly how to build your program.

    About an hour, at your house. I teach you a ten minute warm-up we'll use every time we train. Then I watch you move through six basic movement patterns, so I can see your mobility, your stability, your strength, and anything we need to work around. You'll leave already knowing how to get down on the floor and back up with confidence.

  3. 3

    Same time every week, and you never have to think about it.

    Early in the morning, I'm at your door with everything we need. All you need is a five by seven space and clothes you can move in. Once you're booked in, that time is yours.

  4. 4

    When you travel, the coaching keeps going.

    Your program moves to the app until we're back together. And because I teach you the why, you'll know how to train anywhere, with whatever's around, even on vacation.

Why this works

Why most sessions end with you feeling like you could keep going

A lot of people think a workout only counts if they're drenched in sweat and sore for three days. That's not how strength gets built.

We leave some in the tank on purpose, so you keep getting stronger for years instead of getting hurt in month two. I've seen what the other way does. One of my clients ended up in physical therapy for his shoulder because a trainer pushed him like a twenty five year old bodybuilder. That's not coaching.

“When you climb a mountain, at some point you have to come back down. You can step down gracefully and climb again, or you can get thrown off. I'd rather we come down gracefully every time.”

Built up, not broken down

Some sessions will test you.

Most won't leave you wrecked, because the goal isn't to survive one workout. It's to still be getting stronger ten years from now.

Start from the floor

The first thing I teach is getting up.

Down to the floor and back up, with control first, then holding a kettlebell. It's called the Turkish get-up: strength, mobility, stability, and balance in one movement.

Learn it, then own it

My goal isn't for you to need me forever.

How to breathe, how to brace, why we're doing what we're doing. Strength for life, and you'll know how to keep it.

Results, in plain numbers

What my clients in their fifties are lifting now

225 lb

He came to me at 59 with shoulder pain and stiffness, after a previous trainer landed him in physical therapy. His job is hard on his body. Four months later, he deadlifts 225 pounds and swings a 70 pound kettlebell.

Client, age 59 · 4 months
20 sec

He came to me at 59 moving carefully, his balance off, and he couldn't hang from a bar without help. Three months later, he hangs on his own for twenty seconds and deadlifts 70 pounds.

Client, age 59 · 3 months
9 to 35 lb

He came to me at 54 with back pain that wouldn't let go. A month later it was gone, and he'd gone from getting up off the floor with a 9 pound kettlebell to a 35.

What protects you

No contract. You stay because you're getting stronger.

A lot of gyms lock you in, and if the trainer isn't right, you're stuck or you're paying to get out. With me, there's nothing to buy your way out of.

1

The first step costs nothing.

A free 30 minute call, phone or video, whichever you'd rather.

2

Your answers stay with me.

The questions come straight to me. Nobody else sees them.

3

If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you.

And you'll still leave knowing what didn't work before and what to do next.

Start your Renaissance

Thirty minutes on the phone tells you if this fits. Free, either way.

I only train in the mornings, and only a handful of people at a time, so I can actually show up for every one of them.

This isn't for everyone.

  • If you want to lose forty pounds before a wedding next month, I'm not your guy.
  • If you want someone yelling at you through a group boot camp, that's not this either.
  • If you travel constantly on a schedule you can't predict, in-home training probably won't fit. Tell me that on the call, because I may have a better option for you.

If this sounds like what you've been looking for, the next step takes about a minute. Whether we end up working together or not, you'll leave knowing what didn't work last time and what to do next.
