What students are saying:

"I had the pleasure of being one cohort below Sam Becourtney in the same DPT program and I am very fortunate and thankful I was put in that situation. Not only did he lead by example but was also always available to assist with answering questions and providing advice for other students, which continued following his graduation from the program. That is when I realized Sam’s teaching abilities and his willingness to educate others in all domains of Physical Therapy. Sam is very knowledgeable and works hard to obtain evidence-based knowledge to assist his patients and his colleagues."

- Rafa Braga, NYU DPT Graduate 2020

"Sam Becourtney truly has a way with the kettlebell. It’s not just his knowledge on the intricacies of promoting body awareness while handling the weight, or in his attention to detail regarding the anatomy of the equipment. For me, it’s the passion that he exudes from his willingness to be a “forever student” in order to continue to hone his craft.

Overall, Sam has a very patient approach in which he gives you the opportunity to ask questions and ultimately primes you to handle the kettlebell independently. This is very important as it translates to his ability to effectively convey his message. Trust me when I say, I could think of no better person than Sam to learn from and grow my kettlebell knowledge and skills with."

What fellow colleagues are saying:

"I have had the opportunity to learn with and from Sam Becourtney throughout our time in physical therapy school, both within the classroom and while training together in the gym.  He is a personable and knowledgeable colleague who I expect will continue bridging the gap between technique and practical application to improve the field of health and wellness throughout his career.”

"As a Physical Therapy student, Sam always walked the extra mile to understand the ins and outs of everything we learned. As a physical therapist he runs it! As Sam’s Professor, I knew he would excel wherever he goes and will become a leader in our profession. Leadership is about using your talent and skills to serve others. Quickly after graduation, Sam joined our teaching team at NYU for the Principles of Exercise course to share his knowledge with current students. During the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, Sam ran donation-based excellent HIIT classes online and collected money for the World Central Kitchen Foundation.  It’s only natural for him to now share with colleagues skills that he’s so good at."

What trainers are saying: 

"Sam’s energy and dedication to his craft truly shines through in his teaching skills. I had the opportunity to see this first hand while working alongside of him at Exos. He was able to lead large groups of athletes each week through an extensive regeneration session using advanced tools and techniques. Sam was great about simplifying the techniques for all to understand and willing to explain the significance behind every movement. Learning from Sam helped solidify my own skills as practitioner!"

- Austin Louth, EXOS Performance Specialist & Strength Coach

"I’ve had the privilege of working with Sam on a professional level for the past 2 yrs. Watching him handle himself with clients on the training floor, along with his programming and hands on approach lead me to asking Sam for help with some of my own concerns.
As a health & fitness coach for the past 30 yrs, I’ve observed many trainers, fitness coaches and physical therapists. Sam is a professional with superior communication skills, an intuitive approach and knowledge that keeps me coming back for more.
Sam helped heal a hip issue that was giving issues with all of my lower body movements. I can’t say enough about him and wish we had more like him in our field!"

- Ray Dente, NY Health & Fitness Coach
