Wonderful teacher...has alot of knowledge about the correct way to use kettlebells...I don't believe that you can truly learn proper form unless you start with a trainer and Dale is excellent.

Dale is a professional and devoted instructor. He has helped me greatly in terms of my practice. I am grateful to have met him and I train with him. Thanks!

One on one instruction is top notch. His cutting edge techniques challenge my body every workout!

This was my first kettlebell class. Dale is a gifted teacher and, as any great coach, he will make a seemingly small (but extremely accurate and wise ) correction that instantly will improve your technique. It was a great learning experience, a practice and not a senseless work out. If you are looking for top notch training in South Florida I'll recommend you Dale Buchanan as the best choice.

Dale's ability to teach proper form and correct mistakes allows his clients to exercise the right way, thus seeing greater results. Dale is a great instructor and I enjoy working out with him.

I just attended my first experience with kettle bells. I feel like I have a good foundation for the forms now. I highly recommend this instruction. Very valuable and affordible considering how much personal attention I received and the quality of the instruction. I hope to attend next months workshop with Dale as well.

Dale was an incredible teacher. In some cases with fitness instructors/personal trainers, they come across as intense and want you to be impressed with what they can do. Dale teaches in a very personal way and you can tell that he wants you to get the best out of your training. I have been training with kettlebells for a year and he quickly pointed out some flaws in my technique to help me reach my full potential. I would highly recommend you contact Dale and get involved in his workshops.

Dale is a true pioneer by bringing Kettlebells "Professionally" to the SE Florida area. KB's seem to be the rage among the gyms in our area however there is a lack of qualified trainers out there which creates the potential for injuries and ultimately preventing clients from learning how effective KB's can be. Dale's certification as an RKC instructor and his ability to teach and train clients safely and effectively were proven to me when I took the HKC class at his facility. Thanks Dale for stepping up and bringing this class to Boca Raton!

When I was researching for a kettlebell certification course I came across Dale's website. I saw that there was going to be a course in Florida and Dale was most helpful in explaining expectations. The main thing I heard was 'be in condition your going to do a lot of swinging.' The was probably the most valuable preparation advice. Dale was most accommodating and a generous host. A great facility to train from and would recommend if your in the neighborhood check it out.Thank-you Dale for a fantastic weekend.

My husband & I completed the HKC certification course this past Sat. and I must say a big THANK YOU to Dale! He took the time to correct my mistakes and presented them in a way that I can understand. And I'd thoroughly enjoyed his endurance workout towards the end of the course. What I got from my certification course was more than I'd expected!

My experience was great and unique. Dale knows what he is talking about. I thought I knew about kettlebells until I went to his workshop!!! I am so glad I found him... Dale got my interest in continuing with the training in kettlebells. Thank you Dale!!

I've been involved heavily with the Crossfit community for over a year and a half. A friend of mine and fellow cross-fitter discovered Dale and his Kettle Bell instructional seminars and encouraged me to try one. I thought I was pretty decent with a KettleBell until I attended his seminar. It was like learning all over again, except this time it was done right. My favorite portion was the break down of the Turkish get-up. Learning from Dale, I will never have another injury ever again. I'm looking forward to attending more seminars and remaining a part of his community!! Thanks Dale, you're the best!

Dale did a great job with instructing. He breaks everything down so you feel comfortable and are able to understand each movement. I recommend this class to anyone, whether you have used kettlebells before or not. I plan on taking other courses with Dale, even though I live 35 minutes away!

Dale's class is a must if want to learn the proper way to use the kettlebell. He explained and demonstrated basic kettlebell movements in a patient hands on approach, that you can not learn just from a book or DVD. I would recommend you take this class before purchasing any books or DVD's.

Dale is an instructor who obviously loves what he does and it shows. He's knowledgeable and his instruction is thorough and safe. He instructs you in proper form and critiques and corrects where needed. A big thumbs up!

I was in need of a Kettlebell trainer in Boca Raton Florida for a week long vacation. I came across Dal'es website as I was specifically looking for RKC certified. I wanted to stay consistant with my trainer in Minneapolis. I made an appointment with Dale and was soooo pleasantly surprised and happy with my session that I booked another appointment in that same week. Dale is so professional and dililgent on technique and form. I had two amazing training sessions and can't wait to see him again in November when I go back!

Dale gets you out of your head and into feeling movement. It is amazing how he can correct the form of a kettle bell functional movement like a two handed swing by instructing you on performing a tai chi flow. Not only is my body learning optimum movement patterns and getting healthier but I am learning trust and focus in my training and in my life. An AMAZING gift. Thank you, Dale!!!!

I heard and read about the benefits of working out with kettlebells and tried working on my own. I love the exercises but I could tell I was not getting maximum benefit and didn't want to get injured performing movements wrong so went to Dale. I've been training with him for a week and already I'm already seeing results. I feel better during my workouts, after, and in general. Dale is making sure I safely get the maximum benefit from a KB workout and working all the right muscles all the time. He's patient, really knows his stuff, helps me fit a good workout into my busy school schedule, and I can already tell is a great motivator which will help me exceed my fitness goals and stick with kettlebells. Dale is awesome!

I took Dale's "Kettlebell Basics" workshop the other week with absolutely NO kettlebell experience whatsoever... I'm a yoga teacher and train and regularly practice many different modalities of combining dynamic movement and breath, and I have to say, just the few techniques we learned- and spent time on, were enough to make me FEEL it for at least a couple days after! Dale has a very nice way of paying focus on the proper techniques and using the entire body appropriately, at the same time as adding some fun, and challenging aspects to the workshop as well! Also, he was very good about being in tune with the level of the students in the class! The particular workshop I was in, consisted of an athletic group of people, so he was able to teach a little more advanced- to meet the level of performance of the group, while still keeping plenty attention to a balance of proper performance and safety for each individual. I was definitly inspired to continue to learn more, and even incorporate some kettlebell into my regular training. It is clear that Dale, not only has a strong comprehension of the RKC method and training, but due to his years of other mind-body practices, and healthy lifestyle habits, he is a solid and passionate teacher of the fast-growing kettlebell practice... One of my favorite things that he emphasizes is that RKC (Dragon door) kettlebell is NOT a workout! ...The workout is simply a result of doing the practice... Just like yoga:)

I love having instant results from training and Dale was able to help me. As soon as I received instruction from him my form improved right sequel. He's courteous, knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge. Great teacher.

Dale is able to convey the techniques and instruct in a manner that makes mastering the basics of proper kettlebell movements easy and fun. I would recommend him to anyone who seriously wants to master the kettlebell.

I took Dale's Kettlebell Workshop and was very impressed with his knowledge of kettlebell and fitness training. I especially admire his passion for teaching a balanced fitness program and balanced life. I would highly recommend him as your trainer.

I really enjoyed Dale's class. He took time to teach each student and make sure they had proper form. I would recommend his class to anyone wanting to learn the bascis of kettlebell training.

I took Dale's kettlebell workshop and it was a fantastic class. He is so thorough and helps each client individually. I would definitely recommend taking this class if you are in the area and want to learn everything there is to know about kettlebells.

I learned a lot from Dale's workshop. He is a great instructor and really takes the time to give proper instruction as well as to make sure that you are using proper form. You can tell he has a passion for what he does and that is very inspiring!

Workouts with Dale at Supreme Ultimate Fitness are NOT your typical workouts...they are so much more! Dale's workouts motivate and challenge me in new ways each time. I love the variety of exercises we do and how Dale is always tailoring each workout to fit each client's needs. He is knowledgable, patient, attentive and a true professional. He truly wants and believes in the success of each of his clients.

I've been lifting weights for over 15 years and I can say that Dale's workout have rejuvenated my interest in lifting weights and gaining strength. He is a great motivator and excellent teacher. The workouts take practice and skill, but Dale guides you through each exercise in a patient and passionate way.

The first word I think of when I think of Dale is passionate. His passion is contagious. He is extremely knowledgeable about fitness, health and nutrition. Dale goes out of his way to personalize each client's workout. He takes time out of his own schedule to offer free group classes and to review nutrition plans. He has changed the way I think about eating, living and working out.

Dale's kettlebell instruction was very helpful. I have not worked with kettlebells before and after taking his class I will be willing to try them again.

I recently started working with Dale after listening to a friend brag about him for months! He is everything she said- thorough, patient, challenging, and very knowledgeable! He will not allow you to slack in your form or performance! After taking almost a year off from working out, Dale was able to get me right back in my game! Whenever I leave my personal training session, I feel like the session was really created just for me, as a personal training session should be, but not an experience I have had in the past with trainers. He seems to know the exact movements my body needs. His focus on the mind and body is helping to transform myself on the inside, as well as, the outside! I actually look forward to getting out of bed at 5am to workout- now that must say it all!!

I was excited to participate in the kettlebell workshop after hearing rave reviews from my friend Cheryl. Needless to say I was not disappointed. I learned so much from the workshop in a short span of time. Dale is a tough yet constructive instructor. He not only explains each exercise but also why it's important in strengthening the body. I was able to successfully learn and complete several basic kettlebell exercises which I've been able to incorporate into my current fitness regimen. I would definitely recommend the workshop and Dale is a fantastic instructor.

Dale is an awesome instructor. I have been to two workshops that Dale has been the only instructor. Each workshop I came home with more knowledge about kettlebells. Dale demonstrates and takes his time with each participates. I'm signing up for two more workshops in June.

Dale's sessions are just the right amount of time and just the right amount of work. He knows when to push you, and always expects the best out of you. He's a great instructor and motivator!

I'm just a beginner. Dale is very patience and professional. Having a great time learning Kettle Bells.

I have had more than one fitness trainer at top gyms who have included kettlebells during training sessions. I was looking for a specialist in kettlebells with interests in expanding my kettlebell exercises to build overall strength, explosive power and endurance for better fitness performance. I was fortunate to find Dale who specializes with kettlebells, just a week from attaining his Russian Kettlebell Challenge (RKC)Certificate. BINGO! This is what I was looking for. Someone who knows NOT just kettlebells but the RUSSIAN KETTLEBELLS. Besides that's where kettlebells originate from - RUSSIA. Dale focuses on teaching you with an introductory lesson for a few hours (not a training session) on how to properly perform basic kettlebell exercises like the swing, snatch, clean, and my favorite the turkish get-up. Dale focuses on proper technique so as to avoid injury. I expressed my interest in learning the turkish get-up, but that I needed a trainer to properly show me the correct way of the movement. "The turish get-up does not look complex but I want to do it correct" I expressed to Dale. Dale guided me step-by-step through the movement in an easy to remember pattern. I went back home to my gym and I received only roaring compliments from people who saw me executing the turish get-up, including trainers at my gym. My secret Dale Buchanan. My other secret that the people watching DO NOT know, I RECENTLY LEARNED THE TURISH GET-UP. "Wow, you've perfected the turish get-up. Not many people do it correctly. Many just rush through it" commented one trainer at my gym. I've had others notice that my technique is good and executions are much more powerful with other exercises. I have been inspired to work with kettlebells by watching others executing a beautiful flowing workout using kettlebells that looks easy but challenging. Now, I am grateful to inspire others at my gym with kettlebells. THANK YOU DALE!

Dale is an extrememly knowledgeable instructor who provides a safe, intense and dynamic workout. I have seen great improvement in my activities outside of Dale's training as a result of the program Dale has me on.

I have found Dale to be well versed in Kettlebells and very easy to follow as an instructor. Dale's instructions and demonstrations are presented in such a way as to instill confidence that the student can also perform the movement. Dale is an essy going personality but will not take half hearted efforts from his students. I have enjoyed my training sessions with him and feel as if I have progressed in my Kettlebell training.

I agree with what everyone above has stated about Dale. He is all of those things and more. I recently participated in a Kettlebell Basics workshop with Dale. In the short period of time we were together I had improved my form and felt so much more confident in my abilities. What makes him such a great trainer/coach/teacher is that he cares about his clients. Whether they are brand new or have been working with him for weeks or months, he makes sure you are doing what is best for you and your body. He is able to give individualized attention even in a group setting. I am looking forward to working with Dale in the coming months and if you live in Broward or Palm Beach I highly recommend you join Dale for a class. I promise you won't be disappointed.

I came to Dale with a specific issue I was dealing with. While other trainers in the past made promises, they were never as passionate and dedicated as Dale is. Outside of the gym Dale constantly checks up with me, makes sure I am on the right path and always encourages me. He is helping me to achieve my goal that I came to him for and I am grateful for that. Dale is not only a great instructor with lots of knowledge but he really cares about his clients which are not just clients but rather friends. I highly recommended him!

Dale's instruction exceeded our expectations. High quality instruction combined with high intensity training. There are many bullcrappers out there to watch out for in the fitness industry, but Dale is the real deal.

Dale really explained everything in the workshop and corrects your form if you're off. I'd recommend this class to anyone.

To be brief, learning kettlebells on your own is very difficult. To get in shape on a busy a busy schedule kettlebells are the way to go. The time spent with Dales instruction, could take years to learn from a book. If in Florida it's well worth the effort to take a lesson and meet dale.

Dale came up to Tennessee to complete the HKC Certification, which I was assisting at. As I worked with Dale during HKC, it became VERY clear that he is a complete fitness professional that will take his students to the NEXT LEVEL. Welcome to the hardstyle family Dale!

From the first day you meet with Dale you get the feeling of ease and inspiration which motivates you to want to be a part of his team. I have been with Dale for 5 months and I am so much stronger. From Dale I not only get physical training but it is also mental. I know when I go to dales I get to de-stress after a long day. It makes you look forward to it. Dale is a coach who I know I can come to with my training issues and I know he will help me and push me to surpass my goals. To me that's what a 1st class coach is. He will never let you slack because he wants you to get the most out of every workout. Dale is also a FUN coach. He is serious but you are able to interact with other people training with you and create laughter and relationships. That is also very motivating because you create a supportive network which is very important to me.

I think of an instructor as someone who shows you how to do a move and you follow their lead. Dale is much more than that. He is a True Coach. Dale is passionate about his teaching and takes the time to know his students and correct any flaws (even those that are very minor) to assist in getting the best workout ever. His encouragement, caring and ability to make each and every student do the best they can is what makes him an awesome Coach.

Everyone one else has mentioned what a great Kettlebell instructor Dale is...his experience, passion and how great his classes are. I agree with all that and want to add that Dale has true integrity which in my book is just as important in an instructor as his training. His goal in training you is to always do what's best for YOU, not what's best for his business. He listens to his students' individual needs and plans classes accordingly. As an instructor he never comes across as a "know it all" or a "do it my way or it's the highway" type of teacher. He is honest that he himself is still learning new things and joyfully passes on this new knowledge and training to his students.

I had the pleasure today to work one on one with Dale, in preparation for my own HKC training. I truly appreciated his professionalism, feedback, and technical skills in teaching the fundamental Kettlebell exercises. Dale has a tremendous background and a unique approach to fitness, that I can see has enormous value to his clients. He is truly passionate about what he teaches and strives to continually learn to better himself for his clients. As a Physical Therapist myself, I really appreciated his attention to detail in ensuring the proper form and technique using the Kettlebell during the exercises that we covered today.
Dale has shown that he is an outstanding Kettlebell instructor and is very precise in his teaching. His clients will surely benefit from his knowledge, passion, and skills to accomplish their fitness goals.

Coming to Dale's classes offers me much more that just a workout. I get the added benefits of stress release, weight loss, fun and I feel so much better after wards. I've been doing kettlebell training with Dale for 5 months and it keeps getting better and better. I'm looking forward to continually learning more kettlebell technique and enjoying the camaraderie Dale has built in his studio Supreme Ultimate Fitness.

You'll get a detailed and thorough introduction to kettlebells if you're a newbie or tips to improve your technique if you've swung, pressed or snatched. Dale is an excellent instructor and takes the time that is critical to go through the KB moves step by step. Be prepared for a fun and very challenging workout. Two thumbs up!

Dale is an extremely well rounded and intuitive personal coach. I say coach, because he not only teaches you new moves but inspires you towards higher physical fitness standards. By reaching out through technology, and his personal touch working out with Dale is more meaningful and therefore easier to stick with.
