Bad Instructors give the Bells a Bad name!!

Here's an email from a Client of ours who knew someone who had a bad experience with kettlebells.. We're running into more and more "weekend certification" or worse yet, "non-certified" kettlebell instructors who are playing the "right of passage" game at the expense of their clients safety and enjoyment. At Fitnessxt we are 100% into continued education and making sure that we are able to keep offering you the BEST instruction out there so that you can enjoy the full potential of this functional and highly effective training... and have fun too!

Here it is....
Thought I would pass this along! I work at a college and I have a college girl that works for me, and today she said "have you ever heard of kettlebells?" and I said "YES - that's what the class is that I do on M/W/F/S - (she knew I worked out but didn't know exactly what I did). She told me her mom tried doing it yesterday for the first time - somewhere in Holland, and this is what her mom emailed her...

OMG! I hate kettlebells! I hope next week Tuesday takes a long time to come back around as I don't want to go back again...it was awful, and hard, and I threw up on the way home (for real), we had to pull over to the side of the road so I could get out and puke! Nasty!

Oh the things we do to ourselves!!!
Dad said, "wouldn't riding bike be alot easier?"
I totally agree with him!! So,if somebody offers you a kettlebell class....don't take it :-)

I told her to tell her mom to hang in there and that it gets easier! And it's FUN!!! Grand Rapids


Moral of the story...
Check out your instructors credentials "before" you attend one of their classes and don't assume that "easier is better". =)
Train hard, safe and have fun!
