Modesto, CA, 4/14/10: 

Rich Wolfe, at Richmond Hot Shots, sets fast time of the day with no walk thru, an untested pistol and load. Rich is a member at The Movement and trains with Kettlebells and Mobility work three times a week. Rich is sponsored by Sierra Arms Corp.

 I worked at San Jose State and Coach Holder had some kind words....

 Mike Yuhaniak top athletic coach and strong man competitor had some nice things to say about my training.

 I was a little caught off guard by Chuck the first time I met him for my fitness evaluation. He didn’t care about my excuses, he said, cut the crap and "just tell me when you are going to make time to make it happen". He got right to the point and got to work with me. In fact another one of the first things he told me was that I should not change the way I was eating one bit and make sure I was working with him at least 3 times per week. That caught me off guard too; I have never heard a trainer tell me that!

 I've been running, walking and doing my circuit training on my own for over four years and it was frustrated to see I was not getting anywhere. I wanted to lose a few pounds and instead I was gradually gaining a pound each year. After working with Chuck for 3 months, I was able to lose 4 pounds and best of all I dropped 2 sizes in my clothes and it was such an amazing delight to be able to fit into my favorite clothes I have hanging in my closet from 2 years ago. I feel much better overall, stronger and more agile and I really enjoy swinging the kettle bell every day.

 I have always believed that first impressions are lasting,good or bad.Being in a gym atmosphere, you always have trainers walking around,and they all have their own opinions on doing certain things to accomplish certain goals.These days more than ever people are in a hurry, no matter what it is they're doing, it's on a schedule. When we do have time to hit the gym we want to see RESULTS in a hurry as well!

 A recent study from the University of Colorado (published in the Journal of Applied Physiology) had participants perform an hour long easy ride and monitored the "afterburn" - to see how much fat they burned post workout.

Anyone who has become a kettlebell devotee is aware of the testimonials purporting that training with the device “fixes bad backs”.  Others have had direct experience with this claim.  This article will explore specifically how the kettlebell accomplishes this from an evidence-based, scientific standpoint.

 Despite years of anti-fat sentiment, it’s becoming clear that the right kinds of

fats can make you healthier, smarter, more muscular, and leaner.

Back in the 80’s, the US Surgeon General’s office, the American Heart

Association, and the US Department of Agriculture joined forces and took up arms against what they considered to be the great nutritional scourge—dietary fat.
