Student Testimonials

I am blessed to have such a great group of people in my Kettlebell classes. Here are some of their testimonials and results.
The Complete Workout
As the Fitness Director for the YMCA, I try out all classes to see what they are like. After 10 minutes of Kettlebell, I was hooked!!! It is an intense cardio and weight lifting workout all rolled into one, and the benefits I felt from it were like nothing else I'd ever experienced in the gym. Scott started personal training me with Kettlebells
and I saw my body transform overnight. I became stronger in all aspects, and I lost body fat at an incredible rate. Allison Knox-Westmeyer - Omaha, NE

I've never sweated so much in my life!!
I was getting bored with the same "old routine". Then I tried the Kettle Bell class with Scott and my work out world was shaken up!! Scott is very patient, and explains everything very well so you understand why your doing what your doing, and what not to do to not hurt yourself. This has been one of the hardest classes I have ever taken, but also one of the most beneficial. If you want to see your body change for the better let Scott help you and show you how.
- Hannah Unger

Grade A instructor!
I got into kettlebells a few months ago and really found that they are the strength tool for me. I set up a meeting with him with the intention of getting a critique on my form and technique as well as getting some help on some advanced techniques, and Scott more than met my expectations - he exceeded them! He is very knowledgable in all areas and has a unique ability to explain things simply and effectively. I've met with other physical trainers before, but Scott is the only one I've ever met who has an acute, in-depth understanding of not only how to do things right, but why to do them right. Scott is a true asset to Omaha's strength training community. Take it from me, you won't merely be impressed, you will be AMAZED! - Aleks Salkin

The Perfect Workout!!
I am having a blast working out with the Kettlebells and with Scott. Not only is it fun, it is extremely challenging and I am already seeing results. At first I was concerned about the weights being too heavy and hurting my back. However, most of the "lifting" is done with the legs and core muscles of the torso. Scott is very meticulous about proper technique and safe lifting form. He is constantly watching the class and correcting posture. As a swimmer, I am finding that I feel more powerful in the water. I find that the kettlebell works the same muscles I use while swimming - so it's a great workout for my days out of the water. The kettlebell workout is a fun,
all-around strengthening/cardiovascular workout for those who are seeking a
challenge and something new. Scott is a very patient, yet motivating instructor

Great Workout
I was intimidated at first when thinking of taking the kettlebell class. I have a weak neck and lower back so thought this would just make it worse. Not True! I do not feel any pulling or straining in those problem areas and any other areas for that matter. After only a couple of weeks I feel stronger and I'm seeing muscle I didn't even know I had. Scott is a great instructor and motivator! He keeps the pace going so you are constantly challenged. He is very knowledgeable and makes sure you are using the proper technique for maximum benefit. - Deb Aschoff

Intense yet practical, nothing compares to Kettlebell!
I’ve competed in 30 full marathons and hundreds of shorter races and if you ask me, nothing compares to Kettlebell class. The workouts are intense yet practical, sustainable, and repeatable. The cardio benefits of Kettlebell are every bit as kick ass as any workout I’ve ever done and in some aspects superior. In 12 classes I’m obviously stronger and using larger weights, I even feel leaner. As an instructor Scott is excellent. - Jan Brusso
