Thank you for a very informative and invigorating 4 hours. Your time and patience was very much appreciated, and your expertise was immediate. Even with feeling a little achy the following day (and the next 2 or 3!), the topic of conversation was and still is future kettle bell sessions. What a buzz, thoroughly recommended.

Even on an introductory kettle bell seminar you’ll find that most delegates are no stranger to fitness training – this seminar was no exception. Similarly, most delegates are surprised at just how different and challenging kettle bell training is to other approaches to fitness – again this seminar was no exception.

John begins by clearly explaining the origins and unique benefits of kettle bell training – the exercises integrate all aspects of fitness: strength, CV, postural stability and flexibility. Soon after, John also gives an impressive demonstration of the high levels of fitness that can be achieved through this approach, and he repeats such demonstrations at several points throughout the seminar.

I think of kettle bell training a having a lot of similarity with a katas in martial art or Tai Chi – this is not just because the exercises are impressive when performed by an expert but also because correct technique is critical to kettle bell training. As with any good instructor in these disciplines, John ensures that all delegates have a good grasp of the basic moves and postures before aiding them to progress safely through an increasingly complex and challenging set of exercises.

John’s style can best be described as firm but fair with good measures of humour thrown in; which helps take your mind of the tiredness you will undoubtedly experience in the latter stages of the seminar. John will challenge you but, equally importantly, he will tell you when enough is enough.

Any review of a fitness seminar would be incomplete with a few words on the 'before', 'during' and 'after'. Before: bring some training gloves - you'll need them! During: drink a lot - you're working hard. After: As John clearly explains at the beginning – no matter how fit you are, you will be very tired and sore for several days afterwards. This is because kettle bell exercises ‘hit’ the entire body all at once and force the ‘core’ postural muscles to work much harder than most conventional exercises – even those exercises designed to target postural muscles. Put another way, tired and sore muscles are an inevitable outcome of an introductory kettle bell seminar rather than being a problem; in fact, this is a good indicator that the training has been effective!

Thanks once again for the inspirational seminar.

Although I have seen you before as a client, I found that the quality and depth of your seminar exceeded my expectations in a relaxed and informative class. It has provided me with a good kick start and fresh impetus to resume my training again and will be recommending your master class to some friends of mine. I look forward to further training/treatment as part of my plan to get my lower back, back into full functional fitness in addition to my general fitness and endurance, and thank you once more for a great seminar.

Thanks for the notes and thanks for the superb seminar last Sunday. My shoulders felt destroyed and I wasn't until Thursday(!) that I felt comfortable to start swinging the KB again.
