Kettlebell fitness and strength Training:

I have been a Max senior level Kettlebell instructor and strength Trainer / Group Instructor since 2003. .

More importantly and certainly more relevant has been my 20-years of hands on training and experience with coaching myself to a local Strongman title. I have also assisted many other athletes of a national and world class caliber as well as lay people of all ages and sexes, to reach there health and fitness related goals. I feel I have a natural ability and intuition to discern what is “effective and safe” and what needs to be abandoned.

Selecting and finding a good trainer is as hard as winning the ticket to financial wealth, lots of tickets but few have the winning number lurking within. I have literally worked with hundtreds of trainers over the years and I have some advice for the general public.  DON'T choose your trainer soley from his or her certification credentials, those alone mean little in the true realm of things.  It's like me telling you that because we all own a "drivers license" that we are all equal drivers? 

I have been certified through 3 national certifiers over the years and would go so far as to say I have used little or nothing to carry over in helping my clients reach there goals with this limited pseudo scientific nonsense. Sorry to say this but "certs" for me are another money grabber. 

Generally speaking I would say that very intuitive athletes particularly those that have trained themselves on there own with lengthy careers in there chosen sport make the best trainers. There certainly are good trainers out in your local gym but working in the majority of the health clubs in a city where the population is around 5 million, in my personal opinion (accept it ir not)  I can count on less then two hands which trainers were worth the money and time and more importantly could assist you in reaching your ultimate goals.

So my advice would be to look for a trainer that has also been a competitive athlete, preferably for a lengthy time (lots of trial and error on one self) and also have been training for years on end as well as having trained beyond the average person being content with just going through motions.  Having to train highly excelled athletes is not anything like training the average gym rat. To accelerate performance in a choosen sport in measurable success one needs to have very sound knowledge as it can be a fine line between "progress or regress"   as once past a certain point of gain, incorrect fine tuning of the current training method used, diet, frequency, intensity, recovery, volume and so on can stop an individual in his of her tracks from further progress.   

High calibre athletes I view as a high performance engine, tune it right and you will have impressive performance, tune it wrong and even though the frame work for power is there, your performance will be unsatisfactory.
