Kettlebell Experiences Page
" Richard has a great energy. He constantly keeps your mood and energy up during class. ..The class was full of squats, lunges and arm strengthening exercises. There was even a section for abs. ..I enjoyed how Richard lead the class, he mixed up the exercises and kept me interested throughout the entire hour. I was constantly sweating and everyone in the class looked like they were getting a great workout. "

"I began doing Kettlebells in February 2010 one time a week an added a second class shortly thereafter. Kettlebells are an amazing workout, combining strength and cardio, and offers benefits like no other workout I have ever done. In just four short months, I have improved my overall health, increased strength, and have never looked or felt better! Richard is an excellent, enthusiastic instructor who finds that delicate balance between challenging and fun we all strive to achieve in a workout." Erin
"Whatever you do, sign up for this class!!!! It is the best value in the city today. Richard is somehow able to deliver better training in his small group classes than you ever would get in a personal training session- for 1/5 the price. I had been taking personal training classes twice/week for almost 2 years, have since stopped, and have never felt so fit!! In only 4 weeks, my muscles have achieved the tone that I couldn't achieve in 2 years! Also, keep in mind, it also increased my cardiac ability. Since starting kettlebells with Richard, I have also had the stamina to be on my way to completing the half marathon!!! Be sure to sign up NOW." - Lisa
"I've definitely noticed huge differences since starting training w/you in May. Not only are my strength & endurance better than they've ever been, but my weight and waist size have dropped to #'s I haven't seen since my late teens...I'm seeing muscle definition in my legs that I've never seen before & my upper body is stronger than it's ever been...so in short, yes I am seeing & feeling results." - Kurt E.
"I began doing Kettlebell work-outs with Richard in December once a week. I incorporated a 2nd Kettlebell work-out in February and in March I added a 3rd session into my weekly exercise routine. I have lost weight and seen a tremendous change in muscle definition in my arms and core/mid-section. I would highly recommend the multiple weekly sessions as a way to get quick results. Be prepared to buy some new pants, I have dropped 2 sizes in a matter of 3 months!" - Emily
"I started taking kettlebell class with Richard 1 day a week at the end of January 2010. After 3 classes, I began going 2 days a week and have never looked back. Richard's class is such a great overall workout. Every class is different than the last, but I get a great workout every time. My friends & family have commented on how my arms are more defined. I feel stronger and my triceps, lats & legs are more toned. For the first time in years, this summer I will be wearing tank tops!" - Tisha
"I attend Richard's Kettlebell class twice a week and the workout is fantastic! Kettlebell not only works your entire body, but burns major calories as well. I took my first Kettlebell class with Richard in May. It's coming to the end of my first session and I have already signed up for a second. Richards is a great instructor -- full of energy, always upbeat and inspiring. The motivation that you get from him make his classes alot of fun!!! If you're looking for a great full body & cardio workout, I highly recommend you try Richard's Kettlebell class!!" - Jo Ann
"I absolutely LOVED my kettlebell experience with Richard. I took the class on a monday and despite the fact that I consider myself to be in fairly good shape, my body was in agony 4 days later! I definitely worked muscles I never knew I had. The class was loads of fun and the time flew by. I would recommend kettlebell as a regular workout to anyone willing to withstand a little pain for a lot of gain!"

"Richard's class is high energy and he makes working out enjoyable. Kettlebell is a full body workout targeting all muscle groups and your core while keeping your heart rate up so you will definitely sweat. His class is suited for all levels whether you're just starting or looking to enhance your workouts. Who knew you can do so much with just a ball with a handle? I highly recommend incorporating kettlebell as part of your routine!"

"I wanna give you a hug but I also want to strangle you at the same time. I can barely walk and my stomach core muscles ( i never knew I had after have 4kids) are burning. I truly enjoyed the class even though I was the "senior citizen", I am 49 almost 50. It was a thorough work out from head to toe and I especially enjoyed how you mixed up the sets. I told a co-worker and she gave me a blank check to fill out and sign her up after I gave her my critique of the class."
Flora T.
"I am a student in the kettlebell class at the YMCA that meets once a week. Sunday was my first kettlebell class, and it was an intense experience. Richard led our small group in an aerobic exercise routine that worked all major muscle groups. The following day it felt like every muscle in my body has been abused, but I know the rewards justify the discomfort. I am looking forward to the next nine weeks of class."
James J.
"Loved the class! I've known about kettlebells for a while because my dad is certified, but since I live far from my parents, I've never really been able to work out with him. I definitely got a full body workout during your class, and it was such a blast. At first, I was questioning "Am I even going to sweat during this? No way I'll be sore three days later." I was completely wrong since I was dripping and certainly wiped out after the class. I loved it because I really felt like I used so much energy and so many muscles in my body without performing a huge range of difficult motion or doing something boring that I hated. I felt energized and well-worked after the class. I liked the moves and am definitely interested in learning more. "
Robin M.
"I signed up for Richard's trial class to learn what kind of workout I could get with kettlebells. I had always seen kettlebells laying around the gym, but until Richard's class, I had no idea that you can get a total body workout with them. Using the kettlebells, Richard really made us work our core, legs, and upper body, not to mention cardio. After the class, I immediately registered for Richard's 6-week class. It will be perfect to help get ready for the summer."

"Taking the kettlebells class with Richard was a lot of fun and the time flew by. I was curious to see what type of workout I would get from the session and I couldn't believe how much I was sweating and huffing and puffing by the end of the class (in a good way). The past two days my body is really feeling the workout which has showed how hard I worked those muscles. I highly recommend kettlebells as a fun alternative way to incorporate weightlifting and cardio. "
Addie S.
"I tried this class recently for the first time and absolutely loved it. Kettlebell works your entire body-it is a great combination of cardio and strength training. I couldn't believe how high my heart rate got during the class and how sore I was after! I would recommend it to anyone looking to try something new and get in shape."
