Reviews

Aaron Larmore is a very knowledgeable and professional individual when it comes to working with the individuals that take his classes or the athletes that attend his camps. I have attended some of Aarons kettlebell classes and have been extremely surprised and pleased with how difficult the training can be with the correct instruction. Aaron is very creative and energetic when leading his classes and keeps the people motivated and interested during the classes. He is the one who introduced me to kettlebells and convinced me that kettlebells are a useful tool that can be used with anyone from individuals wanting to get in better everyday shape, and high class athletes looking to improve strength and power. I now own two of my own kettlebells and use them often because of Aaron and his introduction he gave me to the world of kettlebells. I highly recommend him and his coaching and training abilities!

Aaron has taught me how to use the Russian Kettle Bells on a multitude of levels. He has demonstrated how they can be used as a precursor to facilitate the difficult movements implemented in power lifting, how they can be used with the general population regarding strength training, that they are a fun alternative to traditional weight lifting, and how they can be used in my own work out regiment to shock my muscles and avoid complacency that can come with traditional work outs. The Kettle Bells allow me to train large muscle groups rather than isolating one or two muscle groups for a total body work out that calls upon both my cardiovascular and strength endurance. The knowledge that he has given me has greatly changed the way in which I approach exercise prescription and planning even in my own workouts.

Aaron is an awesome guy that's always there to help. Incredibly knowledgable and driven to constantly improve and expand that knowledge. His clients love him and for good reason. He's very good at what he does. His kettlebell workouts get results, simple as that. His repertoire of kettlebells and biomechanics his second to none in the Southeast Iowa Area. I would refer him to anyone that wants to get stronger, move better, and live a healthier more fulfilled life.

Aaron earned his RKC, and as some standout candidates are, he was recalled for duty as an Assistant Instructor at the April 2007 RKC in St. Paul. During these 3 days Aaron displayed an uncommon degree of discipline while disposing of the trainees like a coroner with spent latex gloves. He layeth smack down on all 8 subjects in our group even before I gave the order, and he could not get enough. When the General called me in to prep the massive attack on the entire class, Aaron took charge of my post and did an outstanding job in the process. This young man is fully capable of taking the safety and welfare of any student into his good care, and delivering a solid product on the other side of the training.

I suffered a back injury. I am a late-40-something and was keeping weight off by running, but did no strength training. In my job, I mostly stand by a counter or sit in a chair. I thought I was in OK shape (because of running), and then I lifted something I shouldn't have. After months of back and leg spasms, climbing stairs was difficult, running was impossible. My family doctor referred me to a neurosurgeon for a blasted disk, but I really wanted a better alternative than back surgery. So I decided to look for a trainer, and Aaron's bio included rehab on sports injuries; I immediately signed up for a few sessions. Aaron explained possible causes of the injury and developed a treatment plan of progressively more intense stretching exercises and core fitness workouts with kettlebells. Aaron fully explained each movement with the bells and how to increase repetitions and weights progressively to increase my strength without further injury. I cancelled my doctor's appointments. After a year, I continue with classes and also have my own set of bells at home. Aaron's classes help to keep motivated and add new excercises, and he continually suggests changes in improper or potentially harmful techniques. I have been pain-free for many months now and really consider myself to be in the best shape since college (probably better).

Aaron Larmore is more than an RKC. He is a coach. He understands when to motivate, teach, and inspire and implement them appropriately into his training. Aaron has mentored with some of the best strength programs in the country: Husker Power, Univ of Iowa, and the International Youth Conditioning Association to name a few. My final point is this: I would trust my mom with Aaron. That says it all. Do yourself a favor and seek Aaron Larmore for training.

I was introduced to kettlebells by my husband. I had an interest in learning to use them but was a little intimidated. After joining Aaron's class last summer I am TOTALLY addicted! He was patient and encouraging while I learned and then pushed me to reach my physical goals. It was the hardest thing I have ever done but I had a great sense of accomplishment after each workout. Feeling energized, lean and ready to take on anything! Kettlebells is definitely my workout of choice and I have them at home for my daily workouts, but I will sign up for every opportunity to take a class with Aaron!

AARON'S KETTELBELL WORKOUT IS CHALLENGING AND UNIQUE. IT'S A COMBINATION OF STRENGTH TRAINING AND CARDIO,FOCUSING ON CORE STRENGTH. THE 45 MINUTE WORKOUT IS TIME EFFIENCIENT, VARIED, AND CHALLENGING. AARON PUSHES YOU TO THE MAX BUT NEVER ASKS MORE OF YOU THAN YOU CAN DO. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING OUT WITH WEIGHTS AND CARDIO OUR ENTIRE LIVES AND THIS IS THE BEST WORKOUT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SO FAR. IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT.

Aaron's his kettlebell workout is challenging, fun, and effective. Everyone, from accomplished athletes to regular folks like me, will get excellent workouts from his program. Kettlebell exercises provide a great full-body workout at any fitness-level. I am not very coordinated or athletic, and I really don't enjoy weight-training at all, but over the last year and a half, Aaron's kettlebell program has helped me tone and increase overall fitness--and I had fun doing it! This is due to the effectiveness of the kettlebell program but mostly because of Aaron's tremendous motivational skills. He tailors the workouts to my fitness needs and pushes me to challenge myself and my fitness, and his encouraging attitude keeps me coming back and working harder. And the results speak for themselves: I've lost almost 15 inches!

If you want a work out that will challenge you to take it to the next level this is a great work out for you. I have been doing kettle balls for 6 months now and i can tell that with in that time i am in the best shape i have been in, in a long time. The fact is Aaron knows what kind of workout to give you great results. he is a great guy and have fun doing the kettle ball class or any thing he may teach you. Every penney that you spin is worth it. with his programs he can help you to be in the best shape and by able to put on a good amount of muscle. i will always be addicted to kettle balls and i have Aaron to thank for that. you put in the time to this work-out and you can have great results.

Aaron has completely changed my life with his dedication and drive. I've been working with Aaron for over 6 months and have had dramatic changes to my body. The early morning classes let me kick off my day right and also not miss any time with my family. It is the perfect setup for my needs. Aaron was exactly what i was looking for in a trainer. I'm completely addicted to his program and look forward to every morning in the gym.

I am beginning my 8th week of working out at Pro-Fit with Aaron - I am hooked! It is tough to get up for an early morning workout, but so worth it! I have belonged to large gyms that offer everything. I much prefer Pro-Fit over any workout in my past. Aaron is really supportive of all abilities. He differentiates the workout and kindly corrects my form if needed.

My muscles are sore but in a good way. After two weeks, I noticed a difference in my body - my clothes fit differently. I am constantly encouraging friends and family to check it out - that is how I got started - thanks Yolanda!

I have a few goals: to complete one pull-up without assistance; to not be the last runner to return to the gym; to improve my baseline stats from my first physical fitness test; to compete in the Warrior Dash next Spring

Aaron's workout is for anyone who can commit to return for another workout - I promise you will be happy with the results. It's back to the basics like we did in elementary gym class plus Aaron's customized kettle all/weighted ball/weighted rope plan - it works - even for a full-time working mom!

Aaron is an awesome, knowledgeable trainer that makes working out fun. Every workout is different which keeps me coming back for more. Aaron helps you through each exercise to maximize the benefits as well as prevent injury. I was bored with treadmills, ellipticals, and taking the same fitness classes at times that weren't convenient for me or my family. I've noticed results in just one month of being a member. ProFit has been a true blessing!

I have been to classes at many different gyms but the unique workout experience that Aaron has brought to Pro-Fit is downright awesome. Aaron provides his expertise to make sure each individual is utilizing proper technique. Aaron also provides alternative methods to most exercises to maximize your current athletic ability. From farmer walks to renegade rows to swings, jerks cleans and RDLs there are so many different and unique kettlebell exercises that Aaron has extensive training and expertise on to challenge your athletic ability. Aaron will also work with you on defining personal fitness goals and help motivate you to achieve those goals with a fun an exciting atmosphere.

I just wanted to take a minute and let everyone know what an amazing instructor Aaron is. He is a very good teacher and really takes the time train you the right way. That is very important when you are doing CrossFit activities (very easy to mess something up). I also enjoy that he has different workouts every time I come to the gym. He is with you through the whole workout and corrects/pushes you to do better. I like the gym and the attitude that he brings to the table. He for sure the best kettlebell instructor in the area. On a side note, I was impressed at how strong you feel doing his workouts. Much improved core and general athletic movements. If you want to get in shape and try something new I would look hard at Aaron and ProFit Gym.

I am a gym-rat, having competed in the sport of gymnastics through childhood to my college years at Iowa. I have worked with a number of coaches and strength trainers over the years, but Aaron is the best! Not just for his in-depth knowledge and skill level, but for the personal connection he makes with every client. I joined Pro-Fit on a Friday, but wasn't able to get to my first class until the next Wednesday. When I walked into Pro-Fit, Aaron said, "Hi Stephanie!" - which blew me away! He remembered my name! At all of the other gyms I have been associated with I felt like a number, it's not this way with Pro-Fit. Aaron intently listened to my "injury list" and accomadates when instructing me, yet keeping me working to my full potential. Aaron is an all-around personal and genuine guy. I know that one day I will be able to say "I knew him once, and he knew me!"

Aaron does a great job of preparing the WOD's so that they each build on eachother and work each muscle group throughout the week. Not only does Aaron insure good form for each activity but he also keeps them exciting, it is hard not to continually want to come back for more! The overall fitness that is achieved in his workouts is very impressive and it is because of Aaron's dedication to his field and the people who attend his classes.

I was stuck in a rut thinking I was just going to be chubby the rest of my life but things have changed. I have been going to Aaron's gym for almost two years now. I have lost about 50 lbs. and gained strength, balance, endurance and most of all reduced stress.

Aaron is so knowledge and passionate about kettlebell / cross-it training. He provides encouragement and makes sure you are training to benefit your health. I recently got my husband to join. He is an old football player with many surgeries for injuries behind him. He has limited flexibility and strength from the wear and tear of being an athlete. Aaron has him progressing well by adapting the training to fit his needs.

I HIGHLY recommend Aaron to anyone, any age for their fitness needs.

I was introduced to Aaron and Pro-fit gym a few months ago. My husband had been working out with Aaron for a few months prior and was really enjoying the gym, Aaron's, workouts, and finding the variety in the workouts to be just what he needed. I was intrigued by the style, and was looking for the challenge to get back in shape. I have always been involved in competitive sports and working out, but after having two kids fairly close in age, I didn't make the time to keep it up over the past 3 years. My previous workouts included spinning classes, running, and free weights, but nothing like I have experienced working out with Aaron . I have been over the top impressed by the gym, the challenge and variety of the workouts, and mostly impressed with the passion and care Aaron has for every members well being and leading us to achieve our goals. I went in looking to lose the extra pounds from my pregnancy, now that those stubborn pounds are gone, Aaron has helped and continues to push me to increase my overall strength. There are days I look at the WOD and shake my head but as always, I walk out "Thanking" Aaron! His knowledge is exceptional in putting together balanced workouts that give you an everyday challenge! If you want results, workout with Aaron, you will see them sooner than you ever have, I have! Thanks Aaron and Pro-Fit gym!

Aaron is a great trainer! I have had real results WAY sooner than I thought possible. He knows everything about training with kettlebells. He is very knowledgeable and does an excellent job correcting any form problems. He is a happy, encouraging person who makes you look forward to working out.

Aaron is an excellent instructor, dedicated to helping everyone improve their fitness level no matter where they are starting.

Started working out with Aaron around a year ago and have had great results! I was a track runner in college and love to workout and after starting with Aaron have seen huge improvements in strength and just LOVE the workouts. They are very challenging and keep me coming back for more. Never a dull day and always something new and fresh! I got pregnant with our 4th child about two months into these workouts and continued to workout with Aaron the entire pregnancy. Aaron was very helpful and would modify any exercises that I couldn't do. I have worked out during each pregnancy and honestly this pregnancy was the best yet. I didn't have the back pain and huge discomfort like I did with the others and the only thing different was working out with Aaron. I felt great and am recovering after the pregnancy very quickly. I would recommend anyone to come try out his classes and you will love seeing the results!

I knew I would enjoy Aaron's circuit workouts since I came from a CrossFit background. But coming from working with strictly barbells, I had no idea that I would actually enjoy working with kettlebells. In the 3 months, since I have joined Pro Fit, I have moved from using the 14 kg, to solidly using the 20kg kettlebell during most WODs. Now, that is progress!

I love the fact that Aaron challenges you every single day and that your body has no idea what's coming. He really makes it a point to make it feel almost like a personal training session within the group class. Aaron helps you not only make goals, but reach them. Plus he really listens to you if you have any medical issues. Trust me, I have had issues with past trainers, but Aaron is different. Try it out, you won't be disappointed!

As a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I am familiar with a variety of gym set-ups, workout programs, and fitness philosophies. I have been very impressed with Aaron and what he does at ProFit! He offers a group workout that's fun, challenging, and social, while at the same time connecting with each individual, offering personalized guidance and support. ProFit is definitely not just a group fitness class!

Aaron performs assessments on the members regularly so they can track their progress with strength, endurance, power and body stats (% fat, measurements, weight). Knowing this information is useful and motivating for setting and achieving fitness goals.

Aaron is a very skilled coach--he knows proper technique and form, which he explains and demonstrates clearly. I frequently see Aaron giving individualized guidance and modifications to participants. His friendly and approachable manner help participants feel like they're not just a number, but a real person with real abilities and goals, which he strives to help them achieve.

It speaks very highly of Aaron and ProFit that I, a personal trainer who has many resources to choose from when I workout, chose to join ProFit. I did this because, in addition to the things listed above, Aaron designs workouts that are diverse, fun, challenging and effective. I have learned from Aaron professionally, and I have gained strength and lost body fat since being a member of ProFit.

Truly, Aaron and ProFit are a Cut Above the Rest!!

I started with Aaron December 1st of just last year. I have learned so much from him and been so empowered by the skills he teaches and the confidence that it builds in me. I am working out at my age in a way that I never would have thought possible. He truly gives the sense of genuine care for his clients and wants to help you achieve all the goals that you set for yourself and instilled in me a confidence to not be afraid anymore to try things that I once thought were out of my scope. I cannot imagine not continuing on this journey to reach my goals with the help and guidance I know he is capable of providing to me and all his other clients. Incorporating in the nutrition that he has helped me lose 25 pounds additionally since I started and so very close to my goal of 40.
Thanks Aaron!

His workout is like no other workout I have done. He has a different line-up everyday which keeps me interested. The workout is challenging, yet fun. I have never been interested in a cardio workout or running, but he knows how to put it into the workouts in small increments, so people like me who really do not like to run can handle a quick, walk, jog, sprint, which is much more my pace. I really do enjoy weight-training and have noticed greater energy and endurance in everyday life. Aaron's kettlebell program has helped me tone and increase my overall fitness--and I have fun doing it! This is due to the motivational skills the Aaron possesses, I really like when he gently redirects me to perform the excercise to prevent injury, or notices if weights are too heavy or not heavy enough. His encouraging attitude keeps me coming back everyday.

I love to try new types of exercise and had never done kettle bells before joining Aaron at Pro Fit. He is a wonderful instructor who is able to both verbally and visually show his students exactly how to perform each exercise. He has a talent for recognizing each person's individual strengths and weakness. He gives us an ever changing variety of exercise options so that we are never board. And he is able to teach to many different fitness levels at the same time by offering options on each exercise. He always has a smile on his face and keeps us all moving in the right direction. Thanks Aaron for keeping this gym hopper engaged!

Aaron is a great guy and his workouts are set up to be interesting, fun, and very reasonable. I really like how you can go at your own pace while still pushing yourself. He involves cardio and muscle building into one high energy workout. I actually look forward to exercising, which is really saying something.

Aaron is the Best! Thank you for getting me ready to participate in my first Tough Mudder Race last weekend. Aaron's expertise, and calculated W.O.D. really was an integral part in being able to complete the 12 mile obstacle Course. The Kettle Bell training really helped with strength and balance. It's great to get personalized training and advise from Aaron in a group workout. Whether your goal is to get back into shape or be in the best shape of your life, Aaron and PRO-FIT is the place to be.

Aaron was an assistant on Mark Toomey team at the April 2012 RKC.
I can't thank Aaron enough for the time he spent with me. He showed relentless patience and provided numerous corrective feedback with undoutebly enhanced my technique whilst strengthening my confidence.
I look forward to meeting with Aaron again during my next certification program.

Aaron is great at providing instruction to make sure you use the right techniques and avoid injury. His classes are designed to provide a great workout, no matter what age or fitness level. I haven't exercised regularly in a long time and Aaron has helped me get back into a regular routine. Classes are fun, but a great workout.

I always enjoyed working out but get so much more out of it since joining ProFit in December through a friend. I am not a very confident person in terms of my workouts in public. Aaron changed that mentality through his ability to help people of all ages and abilities. He truly does give that sense of caring for you as a whole and making sure that you reach your health and fitness goals. Through Aaron's help and programs, I have dropped an additional 15 pounds since the start of the year and can't imagine going without his classes.

My eight grade daughter has been going to Pro-Fit for 4 months now. Her strength, agility and coordination have all increased. She loves that Aaron gives her specific goals and she strives to work towards them. He keeps her motivated and she always wants to go even after a school track practice or if she has a lot of homework to do. She knows that she is physically fit & healthy and feels good about herself (something all teen-age girls need). Thanks Aaron.

Aaron truly puts the "personal" into being a Personal Trainer. He only wants what is best for you as an individual. He will work with you and make the best plan, option for you no matter your circumstance. His classes challenge and motivates you to continue to push yourself beyond what you thought you could do.

Aaron instructs you, making sure to drive home the specifics to ensure you do not hurt yourself, and yet you get the most out of the exercise. If you have injuries or challenges, adjustments are easily made to ensure you still get a workout without doing more harm.

I have had great success while working out with Aaron in the past 18 months. I have seen weight loss, and body changes that continues to drive me to come back. I am more fit then I was, and look forward to more changes.

Thank you Aaron for caring for people who need to and want to become fit!

Aaron Larmore is fantastic to work with. He has the ability to train people of all skill levels and make their workouts very challenging, yet not discouraging. It was important for me to have someone that would be able to work with me from the beginning and push me where I ultimately want to go. Aaron’s knowledge and compassion allow him to instruct his classes so everyone in attendance reaches their full potential. His workouts are amazing in that you can attend as many times during the week due to his creativity in the different focal points of muscles. This versatility keeps me motivated to come back to see if I can do the WOD!!! I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone that was looking to improve themselves.

Aaron is a tremendous instructor for kettlebells! He can teach a complicated lift in an uncomplicated way. I highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking to learn how to use the most effective fitness tool ever invented-the kettlebell!

Aaron is the best instructor I have ever had! He is very knowledgeable and always giving pointers of how you are doing. I absolutely love Pro-fit gym. Aaron provides a different workout regime everyday that really pushes you. It's like having your very own personal trainer!

Aaron has just the right balance of motivation and instruction. The use of kettle bells in work outs was new to me before Fit2Live and they are such a versatile tool. Workouts are always variable with the kettle bells which makes it impossible to get bored with workouts. I have found that I have improved my strength with Aaron as my instructor. He is also very thoughtful with suggestions/alternatives to a particular exercises when needed.

My training experience with Aaron Larmore has been nothing short of exceptional. His has what appears to be an exceptionally broad base of knowledge coupled with an outstanding ability to communicate the correct techniques to make cross fit training a success for the novice athlete to the the elite participants. Each work out has been an interesting challenge. They are always achievable but require the mastery of skills and the motivation to perservere. Aaron made every effort to provide both. It is rare when one finds a trainer who possesses Aaron's unique abilities coupled with an enthusiasm that inspires those he is training. I feel lucky to have participated in his cross fit classes and will certainly do it again given the opportunity. He has truly taken an interest in my fitness and nutrition and has been a major motivational force in my personal training. I applaud his approach to health and fitness.

I knew nothing about kettlebells and nearly nothing about free weights when I joined Fit 2 Live a year and a half ago. I have gained a lot of strength since joining and have progressed in my ability to use kettlebells and free weights. Of all the instructors I have had, Aaron is the one who consistently can explain a move to me in a way that I understand it and can correct my mistakes. He also has the ability to supervise a group of people who are working out and give each of them personal feedback to help them improve. I am grateful for the help he has given me.

I have been a member of the gym for a year and a half and love it. Every workout is something different, you never get bored. Aaron and his staff go above and beyond to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly and help you modifiy as needed. They help motivate you to finish the workout strong and you feel terrific afterwards. I had knee pain and could not squat when I first came to the gym. Aaron helped me with exercises outside of the gym to strengthen my knees and I have had absolutely no pain for over 8 months and can do squats now. I love the kettlebells, they help strengthen everything and are actully fun to use. I have not had strong arms and doing some of the barbell exercise were too much so I would use the kettle bells until I could do the barbell. I would recommend Fit2Live Gym to everyone, young and old, as you just feel so much healthier and alive after the workouts. I am actully living now, instead of going through the motions. Thanks to Fit2Live and Aaron

Fit2Liv is a wonderful gym because of its intense workouts and personal attention from the trainers. The workouts are full body and they get the heart pumping. Aaron is one of the best trainers I have worked with, and gives excellent explanations of the exercises in the workouts. Additionally, he gives constructive critique while doing the workouts. I highly recommend Fit2Liv for those out there who want a great workout every time they are at the gym!

Aaron is simply one of the best trainers I have ever had the privilege of working with. His in-depth knowledge of skill-development, strength-training, and endurance-building paired with his kind, patient, encouraging, and pleasant demeanor make Aaron an exceptional instructor.

I started working out with Aaron and his kettlebell workouts a year and a half ago. I have gained a lot of strength as well as having increased my cardio capacity. The workouts are always challenging and varied so I am never bored. Arron knows how to push me to get do my best and get the most out of my workouts.

I joined Fit 2 Live 2 years ago and now can't imagine starting my day without my 5:45 workout. I think Aaron and the trainers do an exceptional job of teaching and helping the Fit 2 Live members in acheiving their personal fitness goals. A year ago, my 14 daughter joined the Athletes program and equally enjoys Aaron and the crew at Fit.

Aaron has been great to work with. I started going to fit to live and working with Aaron about 18 months ago. In that time I have lost at least 10% body fat and up to 10 - 20 pounds. My overall strength, form and technique has greatly improved with his coaching. Anytime I have questions Aaron or his staff are eager to help. Overall this has been the best gym that I have ever been a member at and have had by far the best results. Overall it has been a great life changing experience. I highly recommend the gym to anyone in any physical condition.

Aaron Larmore is very professional when it comes to any class he is instructing. The kettlebell classes have been a huge success and his knowledge has improved my attitude towards exercise and workouts. I especially like Aaron because he takes the time to get to know you as an individual and will work with you on different levels of fitness. He will push you in your workouts when he feels you are comfortable and ready to move onto the next step or level. Aaron is very creative when it comes to putting together a workout. Therefore, I would highly recommend Aaron as your next instructor.

Several years ago I had an extreme surgery on my leg/knee. I was told I would never jog or run again. I met Aaron and he told me I could and would be able to do those things if I worked hard to build the strength I needed. Aaron is the person who taught, coached and trained me, and I was able to walk better and jog again. Without his knowledge and expertise, I don't believe I would have made it. Along with that, I have never been this fit in my life and I am 56. He can determine a personal need and construct exercises just to fit you. I have always had a feeling that he really does care if each and everyone of us is reaching our fitness potential. He is inspiring, motivating and all knowledgeable in his field. Thanks to Aaron, I feel good every day.

Aaron is all about using kettle bells to exercise almost every muscle in my body. Aaron not only tells you the correct form, but explains how the correct form exercise the targeted muscle group and one minor form change will exercise different muscles. The workouts designed by Aaron involve kettle bells, body weight and other barbell work in a way that every crossfit member is challenged on a daily basis. With the wide variety of the members in our college town, the workouts and kettle bell supply meets everyone's needs.

Aaron has helped both my wife and I to lose weight and tone up.
We enjoy working with Aaron at Fit2Live.

I joined Fit2Live a year and a half ago. I have been a life-long exerciser and dieter and was looking for a change. Aaron had worked with my sons in previous years so I knew he had experience and knowledge. I had read a lot about kettle bells and wanted to give Crossfit a try. My experience at Fit2Live has been amazing. I was willing to put in the time but I needed the right tools to go along with my work. It has been very rewarding to put my work ethic together with Aaron and his staff?s knowledge of exercise, recovery, and nutrition. I have finally been able to achieve in a year and a half what I had been trying to do for about twenty years! I went from 28% body fat to 20% all while feeling healthy and energetic. I am never bored with the workouts or dread going to the gym; Aaron, the staff, and the other exercisers have become my friends.

After my daughter began working out with Aaron changes in her conditioning were obvious to see during her athletic events. I decided that it was time for me to get back to my healthier side. Many things about Aaron and his gym impress me- the daily variety of workout routines, knowledge of training , his passion, the effort he puts into both his staff and clients- but most of all his communication. Whether it is a teaching moment or a personal note to you, he makes you feel like you are the only one in the room. His recollection of your specific situation puts you in a wonderful place. Aaron took the time over a numerous months to assist me in understanding the importance of not only a great workout, but also of the need for proper nutritional care. After many conversations I realized one day that I needed more than physical training. The time and effort Aaron went in to assisting me to become a healthier person has been greatly appreciated by both myself and may family. Thanks Aaron!

I have been training with Aaron at Fit2Live for about a year and a half now - what a great decision! Although I had previously been a runner, I had quickly fallen out of a regular workout routine. Aaron and his daily workouts were exactly what I needed to get back on track. The short 30-60 minute workouts, especially utilizing kettlebells in combination with cardio, are a perfect fit for my busy life. It is great to have someone so knowledgeable design my daily workouts, allowing for all body regions to be targeted appropriately and never over done. This is by far the best shape I have even been in! Thanks Aaron!

To put it simply, Aaron is wonderful. I've be a regular "gym-goer" and distance runner for most of my life, but I have reached all time high performance and fitness goals since starting Crossfit. What Aaron does so well is push us all to continue setting new goals and is a masterful skill acquistion/development teacher. Thanks to his instruction I'm able to put together my own WOD's when I travel, and kettlebell work has improved my body to the best it's been in my life!

Personal training is both expensive and difficult to negotiate with a busy schedule, and so Fit 2 Live is the perfect alternative for those interested in completing a personally-designed work-out at a fraction of the cost. It also offers convenience by providing an array of daily class times that members can participate in; I love the fact that I can attend an early morning class one day and an afternoon or evening class the next and have no need to set up an appointment or register. This flexibility is extremely important for me and an incentive as it allows me to fit my work-out into an ever-changing work schedule.

The work-outs are challenging yet appropriate, with a nice blend of strength-training and cardio; Aaron does a great job of working different parts of the body, so it's possible to attend classes 7 days a week. The variety in the routines also helps with motivation, and the classes are fun and educational. A truly unique gym and outstanding instructor.

After starting my career, working out went to the wayside. I was referred to Fit2Live by a coworker and instantly fell for the workouts. I don't generally like to "work out" since my self motivation is pretty low, but that's the beauty of Aaron and how the gym is set up. Aaron is there with enough motivation for the both of us and lays out a fresh set every time you walk in the door. Holy moley! Never used the kettlebells before Aaron introduced me to them and they are terrific. I've spent a fraction of the time getting back into shape using these bells than just using a machine. After a kettlebell day, I ache all over but the staff has done a great job of teaching recovery methods physically and nutritionally. My goal starting out was to get back to my Martial Art, Hapkido, and I have, thanks to Aaron. Now I've set a new goal: to work on receiving my black belt. Best part is I know Fit2Live/Aaron will be an integral role in acheiving it and it'll be because of their dedication to me.

Among other things, Aaron is an excellent Kettlebell instructor. I have achieved new level of fitness by following Aaron's expert advice with kettle-bell based exercises and exercises for strength and conditioning in general. Aaron is also very approachable and provides excellent support and guidance. His attention towards form and technique while still cutting new comers a little bit of slack is incredibly motivating and encouraging. This is exactly what helped me ease into Kettle-bell workouts. During our workouts, Aaron will walk around on the floor correcting everyone's form and supporting everyone with his encouraging words. Aaron is also great at actually explaining why a particular excercise should be done in a particular way and what muscles should be engaged. For me knowing the science behind a particular exercise helps with form and technique. I try to follow workouts by the book and having Aaron around is just what I wanted.

Aaron made a huge difference in my life. I have been a decent amateur golfer for a year or so. I started to work out with Aaron at Fit2Live this past winter and he put me to the next level. I increased my ball speed by 15 mph, which is around 30 yards longer. Not only have I been able to hit it farther, I am more accurate and I needed X flex shafts (usually needed for professionals). WIthout Aaron I would not be where I am today, and his ability to make a program where I can improve so much is incredible. I gained 15 pounds of muscle and became so much stronger. A few of the lifts to see the biggest increases were my back squat (150 pounds heavier over one winter) and box jumps (up 16 inches to 50 inches). Aaron is a great trainer and I am so happy that I found him and Fit2Live. He has helped me become more fit and much, much stronger. My only regret is that I started so late.

Aaron Larmore is a very experienced professional who changed the way I think about fitness and health. I have been in the best shape under his supervision since my start in his crossfit program in April of 2010. Working out at Fit2Live has been an invaluable experience that made me adopt a new lifestyle. The workouts Aaron creates are very challenging yet enjoyable. Setting up fitness goals and achieving them been the highlight of my experience with Aaron. I wish him all the best in keeping Fit2Live the best gym in Iowa City and I am doing my best to be part of that. He did not only changed fitness but he changed many lives.

I couldn’t be happier with a gym than I am with Fit2Live, and Aaron is a huge part of that. He genuinely wants everyone to improve, is encouraging and helpful to members new and old, and has obviously instilled the same attitude in his staff. I hope to be a Fit2Live member for a long time to come. Even outside the gym, Aaron is an easy-going, awesome guy. A pleasure to talk to, and always makes workouts fun as well as beneficial.

I have nothing but great things to say about Aaron and his gym, Fit2Live. He and his staff are always very friendly and helpful. They are extremely knowledgable and always there for guidance during every workout. The workouts are challenging and fun. Even though I'm pushed to the max almost every workout, I never feel burnt out or prone to injury. Since going to Fit2Live, I have lost body fat, gained strength and stamina, am more flexible, and overall feel better physically than ever! Aaron is a great teacher, coach, and runs a great gym!

I am a current member at Fit2Live Cross Training, which Aaron is the founder of. I have to say that I have never been more happy with Physical Fitness. Aaron has provided me with knowledge of weight

I joined forces with Aaron after losing 85 pounds. I had never really exercised before, and at 48 didn't think I could. Aaron knew exactly what I needed, and how to get the maximum out of every exercise. He does it with a positive attitude and a genuine desire to see his clients suceed. I enjoy working with kettlebells and building muscle and stability. I have now lost an additional 25 pounds and gained muscles. But the amazing thing I never dreamt I would get is stability - equalibrium. I didn't realize I didn't have any till I finally had it.
Thank you, Aaron, for believing in me.

I have worked with Aaron for 3 years now and have found him to be one of the most experienced and well-rounded fitness trainers I have ever worked with. He is highly knowledgable about strength and conditioning training, special conditions, recovery and injury prevention and other key aspects of total fitness, such as nutrition and lifestyle. In addition to being such a professional resource for all of that, he is incredibly nice, personable and approachable. Even though I am a 50 year old trying to be the best I can be, and not a young elite athlete, he treats me like I am just as important and he does the same for all of the other Crossfit participants. We all love him!

I am relatively new to kettlebell training and Aaron has been a huge help in getting me started. He is a great teacher of technique and nows how to push you to new levels when you are ready. I have gotten great results training with Aaron as have several of my friends that I have recommended.

Aaron and his entire staff are highly qualified, motivated, and willing to help. I have tried many other gyms and programs but after coming to Fit2Live I am hooked. Aaron cares that your technique is right and his specialized workouts have ensured that I am in the best physical shape of my life. When people ask me where I work out at and how I get my results..answer: Aaron and the Fit2Live staff. Prior to attending Fit2Live I had no experience with Kettlebells, but it didnt take long to learn the snatches, swings, and other kettlebell exercises that resulted in better toned muscles, coordination, and strength. In addition to Aaron being an exceptional trainer, he has a great ability to create a sense of community at the gym. Everyone (staff and members) knows each other and helps you to reach your goals. This holds you accountable and makes you want to come to the gym more often.

I joined Fit2Live Gym roughly 6-8 months ago the expertise and support of the staff and Aaron is right on track. the kettle bell workouts have developed my strength and agility for beyond when I started the program. I would recommend this program to any one. Aaron is professional and very attentive to individual needs of his clients. The atmosphere at fit2live is great and i for one am glad I joined the gym it has benefited my health and at 51 that is important to me...

Aaron is extremely knowledgable about fitness, injury prevention, and so on. He is a really great instructor. I really appreciate how when he demonstrates exercises he shows us common mistakes to avoid. He's also a good motivator with a pleasant demeanor. I'm so glad that I joined Fit2live. I am very happy with my increased strength and feel great overall.

I met Aaron through a colleague of his from the gym where he worked before opening Fit 2 Live. She became one of his first staff members and encouraged me to try one of the Fit 2 Live workouts. The workout was totally different than almost every workout I had experienced over 30 years. It involved kettlebells(KB) as one tool in an array of full body movements designed to improve strength, stability, endurance and flexibility of a participant. The workout(s) structured by Aaron and done as a class for groups of people 6-8 times a day was unique to our community at that time. I was and remain very impressed by this accomplishment, especially his desire to promote this concept as a community health initiative. I was 63 when I first touched a KB as Aaron taught us swings, snatches and Turkish Get Ups. Today not a session goes by without Aaron reminding us(and his staff) about KB form and technique. Thanks Aaron for all your positive reinforcement and helping us be fit to live.

I started working out at Fit2Live after having my first baby and I knew it would be difficult to get back into feeling fit, strong, and fast. Aaron and his staff and Fit2Live were the perfect fit for me. They are always encouraging and keep your goals and ability level in mind while they push you to go further, faster, heavier, etc. I've loved getting back into shape at F2L. Would recommend highly to anyone who is looking for a place to work out that has the unique combination of intense work outs, friendly staff, and a sense of community building among the clients.

I meet Aaron in December of 2009 after a friend of mine invited me to go to the gym with him. I am 47 years old and had not worked out for years. Aaron has made me feel like a new person,better health, strenghth, and over all conditioning. I enjoy going to the gym with an instructor who is knowlegable and cares about his clients.

I have a tendency to get in workout ruts. I quit my gym a year ago to focus on running, then winter came and indoor running bored me. I'd been curious to try kettlebells, so I took a free week at Fit2Live just as an experiment, without any real thought of joining. After only a few days I was completely won over by the gym, and by Aaron, and I ended up not only joining but showing up, just about every day. Aaron is very focused on technique, which I tend to be sloppy about when left to my own devices. He's also very patient, which is useful for those of us who easily get frustrated. Highest rec.

I have been doing CrossFit for about a year now and am very pleased with the results. I have always been a runner but now with the changes due to using kettlebells, my running is much better. I appreciate how Aaron is patient and really helps you do the exercises correctly thereby preventing injury. The variety of the kettlebell exercises Aaron plans for the WOD is one thing that keeps me coming back. I would recommend his expertise to anyone looking for improvement in their overall health and fitness, you won't regret getting started.

I spent many years in many different gyms working out. I didn't know what a great workout was until July 2009 when a co-worker told me about a new gym he belonged to. After hearing what he said, that afternoon my wife and I stopped by Fit2Live. We were met at the door by a trainer, taken on a tour of the facility, had the philosophy of the gym explained to us, and then put through a workout. That was it. Bam! I have been going almost daily since. Aaron's knowledge of Kettlebell exercises (and proper technique) amazes me. Also I have not been able to find a fitness question that he couldn't answer. His ability to design workouts that are fun, challenging, and effective is wild. Every workout has a purpose. He watches you every step of the way. This mornings workout complimented yesterday mornings workout. You don't overtrain and you don't get bored! Your excited to get there. I am 47 and in the best shape of my life. I used the word belonged above. Aaron makes you feel like you belong.

Aaron has been great to work with. I showed up about 6 months ago with a recurring lower back injury, and he spent a lot of time working with me to get some rehabbing exercises that I still use to warm up, today. I've graduated up to the normal Crossfit class and have been healthy since (knock on wood). I've seen Aaron work with a variety of people, ranging from athletes to older individuals, and he shows humor and patience with the entire range, but doesn't let people cheat themselves. He is also quite good at verbalizing what people need to do in order to get more out of the exercises; some other instructors can't articulate clearly what needs to change.

I have been with Aaron Larmore and Fit2Live for a couple of years now. Prior to Fit, I worked out at a regular fitness gym pretty intensely and religiously. Yet I never saw the results I see now with Fit/Aaron. I love that the workouts are creative and varied; I don't get bored. The intensity of the workouts is perfect. I am pushed to my limit with every workout- it's exhilarating. I have lost over 18 lbs and gained major definition. I could not be more pleased with my results!

I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with Aaron and find out what his true passion is. Aaron is a dedicated instructor devoting himself to developing our youth athletes during the most critical stage of there lives. What Aaron can pour into these kids is priceless. He understands how young kids move. With Aaron's leadership Fit 2 Live in Iowa City will become the common ground for the best trained and most successful area athletes that are serious about getting to the next level.

Aaron is not only a first-rate trainer, he is also a great friend.
His motivational instruction is a rare gift that he has and our gift to receive. If one wants to work hard, he is the best match.
He paces your workout with patience and friendliness, while attending to all the details and instruction.
I am so happy and lucky to have such an outstanding trainer and high class person. I can not say enough great things about him.

I moved to Iowa from Oregon and had never heard of Kettlebell classes. I had been running and lifting on my own for about 3 months when I saw one of Aaron's fliers at the gym. I tracked him down and asked him about the class. He had me come to an intro class and that was all it took for me. I was hooked on the classes. Aaron's knowledge of the various exercises and the pace at which the classes are run make them very challenging and enjoyable. My strength in lifting and my stamina while running have both shown great improvement. If you have a chance to take one of Aarons classes don't hesitate, you won't regret it. Thanks Aaron!!!

I was very fortunate to have been one of Aaron's first guinea pigs. I did'nt know what I was getting into at all. But the kettlebell classes are amazing. Not only is Aaron a great instructor but the exercises themselves are awesome. Aaron knows how to get each individual motivated to his or her level. I had the oppurtunity to be in Aaron's firt class, it's addicting!! Aaron gets everone involved, makes the classes exciting and fun, no matter what shape your in. Anyone who takes this class will see and feel the difference in there body!!! GREAT CLASS, GREAT INSTRUCTOR!!!!

Aaron's Kettlebell sessions have been great for me. I started at 235 lbs. after the Christmas holiday and have trimmed down to 223 lbs. (March). The ability to get my heart rate up and work on my Core strength has really helped me in my quest to feel good about myself. I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in a change up to your workout regiment. Aaron is an outstanding instructor who has been a pleasure to see two mornings a week.

I started Kettlebell classes because of an ACL injury to my right knee. After nearly 10 months of rehab, I felt I needed strengthening beyond what I was able to do with machines. Aaron's Kettlebell classes are fitting the bill. He's great at making sure your technique is good so new injuries don't occur and as a 50+ yo member of the class, I still feel engaged in the class and I'm definitely starting to get stronger. My core and other extremities are also getting the best work-out of my life and it's a great time. I'm definitely hooked. He's good at encouraging and getting the most out of each individual's specific strengths and weaknesses. This is a great class and instructor.

What you need at my age is something new and exciting in the fitness world to keep you interested and challenged. I met Aaron and was intrigued by the Kettlebells classes, but apprehensive about trying them because of extensive knee injuries and surgeries. He assured me that it would only be an asset to the strength of my legs (which I desperately needed) and safe for my joints. With personal attention to me, and everyone else in the class, Kettlebells has been an amazing addition to my fitness life. I have never experienced such amazing changes in such a short time. I would never have challenged my strength training or core strength in this manner if I had not taken Aarons Kettlebells class. My daughter takes his kids fitness and feels exactly the same! Thank you Aaron, for making us a healthier family!

I am am an elite boxer, and have been training for 7 years. Two years ago I began training with Aaron, and for the past year we have been using mostly Kettlebells. Since working with him I have seen a huge jump in overall strength and explosive power. Aaron has amazing knowlege about many different exercises and knows how to incorporate everything into a manageable workout program. In his classes he uses what I like to call 'motivational criticism' so that you get the instruction you need while staying motivated. He is a great instructor and would be the first person I would recommend to anyone looking for a trainer.

I came to Aaron knowing very little about weight lifting, putting on muscle or staying in shape. After about 5 minutes of chatting with him he had a complete plan worked out for me including a class called kettlebells. I'm 20 years old, a firefighter, and I have begun training for the Army's Special forces and I can tell you that I wouldn't trust anyone besides Aaron to help me bulk up. His kettlebell classes are an intense but rewarding experience and have benefited me greatly thanks to Aaron. He is the man to go to, whether its personal sessions or this class. I HIGHLY recommend him and this class.

I hired Aaron as a personal trainer last year and had no idea what to expect, Well he had me start doing the Kettlebells and let me tell you what a workout. Aaron could not have been any more patient with me. I started having some medical issues that forced me to quit but I would love to start again. I could not recomend anyone better. He really knows his stuff where the kettlebells are concerned.

I met Aaron when I was struggling with a chronic disease and facing surgery. He took great interest in my situation, worked diligently with me and had infinite patience with someone who hadn't seen the inside of a gym for several years. He challenged me, cajoled me, laughed with me and in the span of 18 months, created a whole new me! Kettle bells and Aaron-what can I say that hasn't been said in the other comments? His attention to detail in the technique of the bells keeps me injury free. He is always changing the routines so that it is never boring. His personal attention to all of us, challenging us to be the best we can be makes his work a stand-out in a vast pool of trainers. I lost 70 pounds, went down 4 dress sizes and avoided that surgery. I thank Aaron for my returned health and I look forward to a long life. Kettle bells and Aaron Larmore-there is no better combination!

I have been coaching and teaching kettlebells classes with Aaron for the past month and a half. Aaron is excellent in not only providing great instruction to his students, but also creating a challenging, changing, fun work-out. He has also been a great mentor to me and has given me great instruction on how to become the most effective coach and instructor possible. Anyone looking for work-out that will get them most bang for their buck should definitely take a class from Aaron!

I was new to the Iowa City area and looking for a new and exciting workout. I approached Aaron for some personal training since I was getting ready for a vacation and a life-style change. He let me know about a Kettlebell Class he instructed and that it would get me ready. Not only do I feel better about my body but about my workout. I get more out of a well lead, energetic, fun, challenging kettlebell class with Aaron as an instructor, then any other workout I have ever done. Finally, I was a little tentative about attending the class due to being a female and after one class-I never felt that way again, I can honestly say with Aarons help-anyone can do this workout and benefit from it greatly. I hope to see you in class.

I am fortunate to have been personally trained by Aaron in a traditional gym setting, then on the kettlebells. In both cases, Aaron is extremely good at what he does, and creates challenging and effective workouts. His kettlebell workouts are killer, and I was constantly amazed at what great strength and conditioning gains I made in such little time. Unfortunately, I moved to California so I can no longer work with Aaron, but anybody in the Iowa City area who is considering the kettlebells would be lucky to train with him!

Aaron is an excellent kettlebell instructor. He provided a unique and very challenging workout. The workout provide an increase in strength and endurance, as well as a definite increase in overall conditioning. I continue to use kettlebells in my workout and hope to return for more instruction soon.

Aaron got me involved with kettlebells about six months ago and it has been the best workout ever. He is a great instructor and I highly encourage anyone to take his class. His class is fun and challenging at the same time. He is an excellent motivater and knows how push people to their highest potential. If you are looking for a great workout and a fun environment Aaron's class is the way to go.

Aaron is a great kettlebell instructor. I started taking the kettlebell course to add some change to the workouts that I was doing, and it has been a great experience. Aaron is really knowledgeable on them and is always willing to take time to show you the proper form and exactly what each exercise does. Additionally, he is able to make each class a little different so it never gets boring and you are always challenging yourself. If you are looking for a great workout in a short amount of time, Aaron's class is the way to go!

Aaron's kettlebell classes have been great. If you want a workout that pushes your heart rate and builds core strength and flexibility his kettlebell class is for you. Aaron does a remarkable job of mixing up the exercises to work all parts of your body always using your core as the starting point. This class is so popular because it is great for elite athletes on down to the average joe/jane wanting to lose some weight and build strength. You don't need roam around the weightroom or cardio equipment for over an hour, Aaron's kettlebell training gets your warm up, work out and cool down done in 45 minutes.

I have been a competitive swimmer for over 40 years but had to take a brief hiatus after being diagnosed with liver cancer and receiving a liver transplant. I had lost a lot of strength, endurance, coordination, and self confidence. For 2 1/2 years after my transplant I have been lifting, swimming, biking, running, and doing countless exercise classes. I was searching for "The Magic Bullet" that would catapult me back into the shape I once was. Everything I did improved my health, but not to my satisfaction. Now I truly believe Aaron has introduced me to THE form of exercise that will be the catalyst to help me transform myself back into the swimmer I know I can be. His expert instruction, plus his calm encouraging demeanor, makes his classes fun and exciting. He truly cares about everyone in his class, and everyone for him, and it is evident in the effort and determination his students show. The class is filled with individuals of all levels of fitness, and Aaron can instruct to everyone equally, so everyone gets their maximum possible workout. Everyone gets the same amount of attention, and although the term "easy" and Kettlebells don't mix, he tailors the workout to everyone's need, even the beginner.

Training with Aaron is effective, continually changing, efficient and, despite being highly challenging, leaves you with a sense of accomplishment that inspires you to keep pushing. What more could you want from a workout?

The Kettle Ball classes with Aaron have been amazing! Usually in fitness classes I'm always looking at the clock to see how much longer we have until it's over. Aaron does a nice job of changing things up for every class so that we aren't "bored" doing the same routines over and over again. He does an excellent job of pushing us above and beyond what we expect from ourselves, and in turn making us feel like we are getting results more quickly. Since taking his classes, my core is stronger and I feel MORE FIT than when I was a collegiate athlete at the University of Northern Iowa. My body is toned all the way up and down.
Aaron is so great, I can't wait until the next class!

I'm a competitive pairs figure skater and ever since I started working with Aaron with Kettlebells i've seen a huge improvement in my skating! I've noticed improvement especially in my arms which is a key area for pairs skating. Aaron is a great trainer to work with because I always feel pushed when I work with him, and also he really cares what will help you specifically in your sport. I definitely recommend working with Aaron!!!!

When a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to join a kettlebell class I was very apprehensive. I am not an athlete. The thought of running in out of the rain exhausts me sometimes. As someone fast approaching 40 I realized it was time to do something, anything! So I joined Aaron's class. I was pleasantly surprised. Aaron was funny and motivating at the same time. He took a class of athletes and girls like me and made us all feel good about ourselves. The workouts were intense and made me sore in places I didn't realize could be sore but I left every class feeling good about myself and anxious for the next one to begin. I highly recommend Aaron to anyone interested in a great workout and a good time.

Immediately, I was interested in Kettlebells after hearing Aaron give a lecture regarding the benefits associated with Kettlebells. At first, I was skeptical that Kettlebells would have an impact on me after years of weight lifting and running. Fortunatly, I was pleasently surprised when I started to see results after only three classes. As an instructor, Aaron is excellent at communicating instructions that are clear and consise, and ultimately do not confuse the client. For someone who gets bored easily, I have come to learn that every class has a different circuit, keeping me on my toes and challenging my body. Aaron is a passionate instructor who lives what he teaches.

Aaron has been a major influence for me in developing powerful hips and overall explosiveness. His kettlebell instruction was also huge for increases in my flexibility and core strength. Aaron has always gone above and beyond in showing me new exercises and instruction. If you are involved in any type of athletic competition or are just looking for a great way to stay in shape, Aaron is the man you want to see.

I contacted Aaron after reading a newspaper article about the kettlebell classes he was teaching locally. My interest in Russian history/culture and my need to become more physically fit were why I contacted him. But it was Aaron's responsiveness, professionalism and enthusiasm that inspired me to participate and learn. Aaron designed a workout plan for me to prepare for kettlebells, and continued his support throughout all classes. Aaron does an incredible job of giving individual attention while directing a group of clients with a wide range of abilities. Thanks to Aaron I now own kettlebells so I can work out on my own. I will always be greatful for his positive teaching, and know that I can rely on Aaron to be a valuable resource and friend.

I joined the gym to get back into exercise after a 3 year hiatus. I met Aaron in this process, I had never heard of Kettlebells. He pushed me further than I had expected I could go in my very first session. His dedication to my well-being and my ultimate goals made going to the gym the best part of my day. He pushed me every day, even outside the gym guiding me to correct eating habits.
When he introduced the Kettlebell workout, I discovered a workout that was the perfect balance, strength training with a cardio twist. He knew what was best for me and encouraged me work to harder than I ever have before...and he made it fun. His attitude was always positive and he made sure that it was all about me. He took the time to work around my busy schedule, dedicated to make sure my goals were met.
Aaron takes a personal interest in all of his clients and treats everyone with the utmost respect, regardless of their fitness level. He is an all-around trainer for anyone with the desire to get in, or stay in shape.

Aaron is a great motivator & doesn't listen to any whining. I had a goal to run my first half marathon. Aaron helped me with the strengthening so I would have power while running. He also set goals for me during the week for running so I would stay on track of the amount of miles I needed each week. I had a time I wanted to complete the marathon and with Aaron's help I accomplished my goal. The kettle bells are really neat even though I do get scared thinking I will drop them on my head. Aaron always knows the exact weight I am able to handle and pushes me so I improve with each lesson. It is amazing how it does cardio and weight strengthening at the same time. I am a nurse at a hospital and one night lifting help was requested for moving a patient weighing over 350lbs. I was the only person available so when I entered the operating room to help move the patient the surgeons laughed since I am not very big. Well they were not laughing after I lifted higher than any of the others. I might be small but I am mighty due to Aaron.

I was introducted to Kettlebell through my mom. We have done 3 sessions together. I was having terrible lower back pain before I started; however, after a few sessions with Aaron it was feeling much better. I have done Tae Kwon Do for about 20 years off and on, but this is a totally different workout. In no time you can feel the results. Not only did I feel better and move without the pain in the lower back, but I was losing inches,weight, had an increase in energy, getting toned and building muscle. I have not experienced such a fun and exciting time of working out. If you get to the point of exhaustion or don't feel like going on, he pushes you and you get that extra step done. It's fun and I look forward to doing it again. I would highly recommend you try it.The only thing you will be out is weight/inches and have so much to gain- muscle, energy and a work out.

I was looking for a way to exercise and get toned, when I came across Kettle Bells. In no time your heart rate gets up and you can feel your muscles getting a work out. I've taken 4 sessions with Aaron and have found the workout that truly works. My muscles have gotten toned and I've lost several inches. After working all day and feeling worn out you can go into a Kettle Bell class and sweat and get a great work out in a short time and walk out feeling revived. It has helped build the strength in my arms and legs. Aaron makes the class fun so you don't always know how hard you are really working. He knows how to get you to give it your all. I've told family and friends about his class and would suggest it to anyone who wants to get a great workout with results.

I had an opportunity to work with Aaron as an intern for 3 months this past summer. He was a complete profesional and very knoledgeable with the kettlebell lifts. He taught the lifts in a simple and effective manor. He also was great about explaining how the kettlebell training would translate to the athletic field. I would reccomend him for athletes or anyone looking to get in great shape!

When I first met Aaron, I told him I needed to get back into shape for college volleyball after taking a year off, so he suggested I join the kettlebell class. At first, I was unsure that kettlebells were going to provide the cardio workout as well as the strength workout I needed, but I was wrong! I was in a class with people who had completely different needs than I did, but Aaron was flexible and created a workout that challenged each of us specifically. After 8 weeks, I gained tremendous strength, the explosive power I need for volleyball, and was ready to take part in conditioning with my new team. As well as physically motivating us, Aaron always encouraged us and pushed us to believe in ourselves and go one step further. I would recommend Aaron's kettlebell class to anyone of any age!

I tried Kettlebell because I have a neck condition that limits the exercise I can do with out causing pain. It was very hard at first and Aaron let me start at my own pace. To my surprise I was able to do two 4 week sessions and had almost NO neck pain at all. Best I felt in 5 years.
We had several levels of experience and fitness in the groups I attended and Aaron was able to individualize for people w/o slowing a session down.
Aaron even works with my high school daughter for strength training and she loves the challenges he gives them.

Aaron does a fantastic job teaching the classes. Its fast paced but he takes time to correct movements and stances. I highly recommend his class, to anyone, from the smallest to the largest person; you will make gains. In one 8 week class I added at least ten pounds to every freewieght lift I was doing. Your body becomes more toned and your cardio improves also. So if your workouts have planed off and your not seeing the gains you want, take Aarons class, if your just starting to workout, take Arrons class, and most of all if your wanting something new and fun, take Aarons class.

I was lucky enough to work with Aaron for several months, and the results were nothing short of amazing. Aaron posses the perfect combination of drill seargent/staunch supporter as he pushes you to reach your personal goals. Working with the kettlebells is by far the best truely head to toe workout I have found. I was able to tone, loose weight, and gain great strength. Having moved from the area, I have purchased my own kettlebells and continue to use the knowledge gained from my workouts with Aaron on my own!

As a 29 year old rugby player I find that my body doesn't recover as fast as it once did and that I have to work twice as hard to compete with younger players. I first started working with Aaron and kettlebells last year because I was looking for a workout that would prepare my body for rugby and the contact involved with the sport more than just lifting weights. Aaron's kettlebell classes have improved my explosiveness, core strength, balance, and helped me maintain my cardio year around. I strongly recommend kettlebells to anyone involved in a contact sport because it will improve your muscle recovery time and will assist in injury prevention. If you are looking for a workout to maintain and improve your athleticism Aaron's kettlebell class is the way to go.

I worked with Aaron for a few months and found his classes to be excellent. Aaron has a mind for structuring a class so that the workout is optimum, there is always knowledge gained, and makes it so enjoyable that the time goes too fast! If I ever had a question, Aaron was ready and willing to field it and do whatever is necessary to make sure all concepts are clearly understood. Aaron was always completely mindful of safety. This permeated every exercise he taught us and thus I was able to do more than I ever thought possible because the form was always correct. I enjoyed Aaron's classes immensely and would recommend him to anyone.

Aaron has helped me to become a more well rounded sailor. I don't have a lot of time when I am deployed to workout. Aaron showed me some great kettlebell workouts that have helped me maximize the time I do have to workout. Concentrating on endurance I have been able to keep up my run and swim times while not actually running or swimming while I was in the desert. The well rounded workouts that Aaron catered for me helped to keep me in prime physical shape while in a combat zone. thanks again buddy.

Aaron is the person that introduced me to kettlebells. I did a few workouts with him and took some of his kettlebell classes. After that I was hooked on the kettlebell. I have 12 of my own now. Not only does Aaron do a great job of teaching kettlebells, he also has a very wide knowledge of health and the human body and how it works. In his kettlebell classes, Aaron does a great job explaining each exercise and then showing the different techniques and how to do each one. Classes with Aaron were never dull and boring. Aaron always had new and challenging exercises so that everyone in the class, regardless of fitness levels, would be challenged. Aaron is a motivated trainer that is dedicated to making everyone he works with feel like they are the best. With his knowledge and ability to teach people and encourage them, I would definitly recommend Aaron as a kettlebell instructor and personal trainer.

Finding Aaron and kettlebells were a winning combination for me. While working with Aaron, I lost about 10 lbs., several inches, and received countless compliments on my appearance. It really made the difference that other workouts hadn't done in the past. Aaron really knows how to keep the class interested, motivated, and create the right balance of hard work and a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. He was great at handling classes filled with people of all different abilities, and knew instantly how to keep you challenged, when you could accomplish more, and how to push you to your limits. I usually walked out of the class feeling taller, because my abs were engaged almost the entire time, and also because I was proud of my accomplishments. Aaron made a point of knowing everyone personally in the class, so you almost felt like it was a one-on-one session. Terrific teacher!

I had the opportunity to experience Aaron's instruction this past summer and it changed my whole outlook on exercise! He made immediate impact on me with his positive attitude and interesting workouts! Never a dull moment-he constantly changed our workouts to make them new and exciting and most importantly-FUN!! I, like many in our class, found that we had muscles we never knew we had. I would HIGHLY recommend Aaron and his kettlebell instruction. He truly cares about his students and his positive reinforcement throughout every workout shows it!!!

Aaron's ability to lead either myself in a one-on-one setting or an entire class is second to none when it comes to kettlebells. I first experienced him as a personal trainer and didn't have any concept (and was somewhat skeptical) of what kettlebells were or what they could do to punch up my overall fitness. But, now that I have been convinced to include kettlebells in my workouts with him, I am sold on both his ability to train me and that kettlebells are one of the best ways to increase strength and fitness at the same time. Aaron was been paramount in my conversion and I don't know what I would have done with out him!

Aaron has been my mentor for the past few months and the knowledge I have gained while working below him is much greater than I could have ever learned in a class room. I never really gave kettlebell training any thought or respect until I begain working with Aaron and now give even more respect to KBs after I begain implementing his training methods into my weekly workouts. I have also seen a great improvment in my explosivness and agility while participating on the rugby pitch.

Over the past year I have participated in kettlebells quite regularly. It has been a great opportunity to mix up routine, and learn something new. Aaron is extremely dedicated to making this a great success along with everything he is doing. He has been a great person to get to know because of his passion and dedication for training people in all ranges of athleticism.

I met Aaron while I was searching the ACE website for trainers, I was looking for a trainer to come into my home to work with me because of the extremely difficult hours I had at work made it impossible for me to make it to a gym to work out. He introduced me to kettlebells and I have been hooked since. He is very knowledgable, enthusiastic and fun to work with. He is also very flexible with finding time for me to workout!!! Now that I have a more set schedule I have moved to taking the kettlebell classes at his gym--wow!! The open gym allowing for advanced cardio + strength training has really kicked my workouts into high gear. I never get the same cardio work out with free weights or machines like I do with the bells, its so nice to get both those workouts in one! Aaron really focus's on technique and is always taking into account proper form especially if you've suffered an injury. The definition I see in my muscles has significantly improved since being involved with Aaron and kettlebell training. Aside from the above though, Aaron is one of the best trainers because of his great personality, his fun encouraging disposition makes it easy to make it through even the toughest of workouts!!

Last winter I joined Aarons kettlebell class, it is the best decision I have made in regards to my fitness and health. I have found kettlebell to be the most efficient workout I have ever done! It's challenging, a great cardio workout as well as a strength training workout. On days I'm not doing kettlebells, I may put in 2 hours of exercise, doing a cardio workout, then a strength training workout. Aaron will put me through a class where I feel I have accomplished the equivalent of those 2 hours in half the time. Aaron motivates me. He pushes me. He makes me feel great about myself and what I've accomplished. Aaron has a way to make you work hard and have fun at the same time! Each class is different, I'm always impressed with his knowledge and how he mixes up the classes. I look forward to my classes with him! Aaron knows the people he's training. He takes care to modify when heath issues warrant. I trust him so much that Aaron is also training my son. He takes great care with all athletes completely, from their training, to any special health concerns, to their nutrition. My son has realized gains in strength and his overall fitness level. Aaron is the trainer, all around, the best!

Aaron really helped me with the kettlebell workouts. I was looking for something different because I had been in a rut for so long and Aaron introduced me to kettlebells. They have helped me out a ton and I liked them so much I landed up buying a pair. Aaron is an awesome instructor and I highly recommend him.

I have been working with Aaron for a year and a half. Aaron introduced kettle bells too me. I am continually amazed with his vast repetoire of kettle bell exercises. He knows a ton about strength training and kinesthetics and has the experience as a trainer to put his knowledge in to action. Another one of Aaron's great qualities is that he is a real people person. He always knows when to push and when to back off and offer support. He is very professional and he continually challenges me, even as I enter the professional ranks of boxing. Through my work with Aaron, I have at least doubled my strength in every muscle group. He took my strength from average to an elite athlete level. He is the best!

Aaron is a great instructor with a great sense of humor. I had the opportunity to have him as a instructor last summer. And he came to the park in my hometown to give a group of women a kettleball workout for two sessions. I was looking to get toned up and it worked well in my arms. I had muscles that I never had before. He gives great workouts and seems to be very knowledgable about kettleball. I would highly recommend him for your kettleball workout!

Kettlebells is a challenging and rewarding workout. Aaron made the workouts fun and properly showed the technique to use kettlebells. Prior training is required before using kettlebells.The work out raising the heart rate quickly and makes multiple muscle groups work all at once.Aaron makes sure his students learn proper technique in order to maximize workouts.

Aaron Lamore is well-known around here as the best there is in personal training, but you really need to have some sessions with him to appreciate his talent, dedication, professionalism, and expertise fully. Aaron is a terrific trainer who knows how to motivate (often with humor) and craft a routine that is exactly what one needs. He knows how to push you to the limit of what you are capable of (and maybe go a bit beyond what you formerly thought you could do). His workouts are varied and imaginative and provide thorough and complete exercise. I never heard of a kettlebell until I started working with Aaron. Now we even have three kettlebells at home and know how to use them. Aaron is a life-changer, a complete pro. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work with and learn from him.

I took Aaron Larmore's Kettlebell class this past year to get ready for my wedding in July. I have been a lifelong athlete and active person, and I love a physical challenge. I was not prepared for how amazingly difficult, yet fun, this Kettlebell class would be. The workouts changed every session, and Aaron was never lacking on enthusiasm and encouragement. He was in a partnership with every person in the class- making sure that he did all he could to help them reach their goals. I loved the class so much that I would bring new friends each week to class to show them this amazing new workout I was doing. On my wedding, I got many many compliments on how wonderful I looked, and I owed it all to Aaron's Kettlebell class, his enthusiasm and commitment, and the ability of the Kettlebell workout to completely shape and tone my whole body.
