For those of you who haven’t been enlightened, kettlebells are the ultimate all around tool for developing an efficient and lean physique. Not only will your body transform, but you will earn yourself the incredible benefit of a healthy and strong cardiovascular system while sky-rocketing your core strength. These unique kettlebell exercises you will learn and drill have the rare advantage of translating beautifully to all athletics, as well as everyday functional movement. Kettlebells are for all ages, all fitness backgrounds and levels of conditioning.

Here’s what the locals are saying about kettlebells:

“I have a passion for snowboarding and doing something that would improve my core strength for that sport was enough to make me give it a try. I love the flow of this work out and the feeling of power that it gives me. I can’t wait to see the benefits come winter!”

- Sheryl Garrison, Local Artist and Avid Snowboarder

“As a former coach with 45 years experience coaching both men and women,( 2 Olympic games,1 Pan Am games) I only wish that I had been exposed to kettlebell training during that time. The work on the “core” in any sport is of paramount importance and results gained from it are immediately apparent in increased strength and range of motion. I am very impressed with his attention to detail, motivation of his pupils, and teaching technique.”

- Art Lambert, Former Olympic Coach (74 yrs. Old)
