Note:
A gym member working out with dumbbells introduced himself when he saw me doing snatches with the 70lb red kettlebell. Said he owns a 35lb kettlebell but didn't know how to use it. I demonstrated swings, getups, double cleans, double presses, double front squats, double windmills, one arm flipping, a getup and a snatch. Told him about RKC and that he should enroll in the Kettlebell class, seemed very interested. He was a military man just back from serving looking for a way to stay in shape and achieve functional fitness. I think Kettlebells are just what the Dr. ordered.

Two ladies on treadmills witness my group kettlebell class and seemed interested. They said it looks like it would hurt your back, I said it definitely could if done improperly but that's why I'm there… to make them do it right. Secondly I mentioned that Kettlebells specifically strengthen the back and improve flexibility. I noticed one of them taking a kettlebell flier from the front desk.
