Certification Day Success
We had the pleasure today of teaching and certifying the first group of World Kettlebell Club Fitness Trainers on the West Coast. It was great fun to work with peers in the profession. Although our competition team is immersed into the sport of KB lifting, these coaches and trainers were here to learn Kettlebells as a wellness, fitness, and pre-habilitation program they could use to deliver to their clients.
Mario Gaytan, of the Working Body in Oakland, noted that after researching the gamut of Kettlebell certifications on the market, he decided that the WKC System was for him. Similarly, Johnny Pirruccello, personal trainer from Woodland, CA felt that “technique based lifting” is the core component of kettlebell training that is missing from most gyms and training facilities today. He jumped at the first opportunity to learn from the WKC. Tina Jeffers, owner of Recreate Fitness in Portland, intends to come back to further enhance her education in kettlebell lifting. Meanwhile, two other key organizations that participated today, Modern Combatives and Crunch Gym, have already begun instituting KB lifting as part of their group fitness class offerings. These endorsements provide a small glimpse into the fast growing trend of the WKC system being delivered as a broad based performance program within the fitness industry.
Congratulations WKC Trainers. We look forward to your success!
Best,
Steven

Wow!! NIce Work….
Awesome turnout.
congratulations to everyone!
You gals/guys just keep on rockin’ it! Nice going.
As usual Steve and Maya were spot on as Coaches. Their cues and coaching manner is some of the best i’ve ever experienced. Thank you both for the good time!
i’m open to suggestions – but i’m calling it “Clean-up” for now
1st round of cleans
2nd – half snatch
3rd – long cycle with snatch
I like this one because it helps me try and hit the rack position right
i completed level 4 with 12k (whooaaa…. ok so i can’t write home yet!)
Thanks everyone for the nice comments and incredibly gracious emails. It was really our pleasure to work with such a wonderful group of professionals.
You guys were incredibly fast learners. Thank you for giving it your all! I look forward to seeing some of you in San Diego.
Hey Alan, this is great. Be sure to hit the 6 points before you go into the next rep. The toughest ones that most people avoid are the extension of the knees and the open wrist (not to be confused with simply landing on the heel of your palm, which of course, is a different point but far more obvious) in the rack position.
thanks – for the tips, i think that for me, the rack is the most difficult technical position
