10/10 The best and most knowledgable chiropractor and RKC instructor I know
By Rambod Derakhshani DC

I have had the pleasure being a friend and colleague, to Dr. Yuan since 2005. Recently I started to learn some basic RKC maneuvers to help with my own strength and stability and to use at my office with own patients, from Jimmy. He made the movements very simple and explained it in a way that made sense. He is one of the top Chiropractors and RKC trainers I know.
10/10 World Class Trainer!!
By Brandy Raymond
/ Chandler, AZ
As an athlete I've spent many hours trying to rehab various injuries including a broken leg, torn knee cartilage, and back pain. I've been to physical therapy about half a dozen times in the last ten years and worked with a personal trainer in between. Before I met Dr. Yuan I had pretty much accepted that I was just going to have to live with the pain and limitations. I was skeptical that kettlebell training would make much of a difference. Was I ever wrong about that!
At the first session Dr. Yuan explained the history and mechanics of kettlebell training. His knowledge of body movement and rehabilitation was obvious from our initial interactions, before we even touched the kettlebells. He quickly recognized the areas where I was compensating for previous injuries just by observing my posture and gait. Throughout the session he took time to provide demonstrations of the techniques and gave specific examples of how the movements applied to different areas. I was impressed with the depth of his understanding and his ability to explain complex concepts in everyday language.
I've had several training sessions with Dr. Yuan and he's consistently exceeded my expectations. His positive attitude, communication, and follow up are first class. I've already noticed improvements in my performance and reduced pain for days after the training sessions. I highly recommend Dr. Yuan and look forward to working with him to advance my skills even further. He's definitely a world class trainer!
10/10 When you think you can't

Dr. Yuan is a former classmate at NYCC, a good friend, a contemporary peer, an accomplished chiropractor and now he is an RKC instructor. Way to go Jimmy.
I had the privilege to work with Jimmy recently on my kettlebell swing techniques. Being a novice to the skill, he helped me gain a better theoretical and of course hands on understanding of the movements with the bells. Not only did I feel better after working with him, I felt super confident to try them on my own, but would rather work with his guidance.
With Jimmy you get a professional, patient, and knowledgeable instructor. If you want to improve your current health, whether you're injured or in great shape, doing it with bells is awesome!!!Getting trained by Jimmy is the only way in AZ.
10/10 Moving the field forward with cutting edge science!

I've had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Yuan for a few years now, having first met at Gray Cook's Selective Functional Movement Assessment workshop. Having a mindset which appreciated the importance of good movement patterns for patient rehab & prehab, he quickly understood the vital points of Pavel Tsatsouline's Hardstyle kettlebell training methodology.
Seeing improvements in not only his own movement patterns, but also seeing improvements in his patient base (which includes some of the world's most elite athletes), Dr. Yuan took the extra step to earn his RKC kettlebell instructor's certification. He & I continue to collaborate on a variety of projects to make the most beneficial aspects of RKC kettlebell, Functional Movement Systems (FMS), and Hardstyle available to the public.
I am honored to call him my dear friend and very pleased to know that those who train with him or be treated by him will be in the care of a physician who is always pushing to advance his skill set with cutting edge science. His enthusiasm, patience, and understanding will not leave you disappointed.
If you are in the greater Phoenix area, your choice for kettlebell training is an obvious one! Contact him and see firsthand what I'm speaking of.
10/10 Jimmy is the man!
By Bertrand Berry
/ Phoenix, AZ USA
I've had the pleasure and honor to work with Jimmy and the kettlebells and I can say that as a professional athlete his instructions are revolutionary. For so long training for athletes has been pretty routine and I can say boring as well. With the techniques Jimmy has shown me, it has increased my range of motion and help me maximize my full strenth in my hips and shoulders which is vital to any athlete and especially football players! The fact that you can do this at home makes it convenient and that much easier to train in a comfortable environment. I want to thank Jimmy for his help and introducing me to the next big thing in training! If you want to get the most out of your body, start using the bells!
10/10 Dr. Jimmy's the man!

I got to know Jimmy at the RKC in September of 09'. At first I thought I would be surrounded by mostly personal trainers and maybe a couple of special- forces but Jimmy is a chiropractor. I know that good chiropractors take a very holistic approach to how the body moves and now we've got a Dr. at the RKC! A Dr. who uses Kettlebells....now were on to something! We had a chat over dinner one evening and he told me that, without a doubt, Kettlebell training is one of the best all around pre/rehab activities you can do. Especially the all encompassing Turkish get-up.
Throughout the grueling weekend I saw how Jimmy was soaking up the knowledge being passed down from Pavel and other RKC'S with incredible passion. No doubt to be used not only for his own fitness but for his patients and the athletes he works with. If I lived in his area and i wanted to learn Kettlebells, I would definitely want to learn from someone who is not only going to get you strong and fit but from someone who is going to teach you the how and why's on how KB training will help you in every area of sport and everyday life.
Dr. Jimmy's the man!

I have been treated for a number of years by Dr. Yuan for a variety of sports related injuries. I had the opportunity to workout with Dr. Yuan using the Kettle Bells and he did a incredible job of explaining the technique and the benefits of Kettle Bells and how they could help me recover from my injuries and improve my performance. I highly recommend this type of training for anyone looking for a whole body workout experience.

I had the pleasure to meet Jimmy at the Sept. '09 RKC when I was an assitant. Jimmy immediately stood out because of his hard work ethic and his desire to master technique. Jimmy strives to learn and become more to bring cutting edge training into his already successful business. I would definitely recommend training with Jimmy as he genuinely wants to make a positive impact on the health of his clients.
9/10 Great Multi-Sport Workout
By Jack Smith
/ Tempe, AZ
I had a great introductory workout with Dr. Yuan where he did a great job of explaining the philosophy behind Kettle Bells and how they could help me specifically perform better in my sport.
Once we had that down, Dr. Yuan walked me through some core exercises and was incredibly patient and helpful as I worked through the new movements and exercises. I thought it was a great workout and am looking forward to the next one.
