I have been with Firmen for exactly a year now. The discipline of his training, along with absolute confidence that with Firmen everything I do is both beneficial and safe, has made an enormous difference in my professional and personal life. As a professor at the University of California, I think we could all learn a lot from Firmen about how to teach. He is informed, creative, and devoted to his clients. I am a fan.

Firmen knows EXACTLY how to challenge you. He moves you past what you thought were your limits, to FINALLY reach the results you've been looking for. And, there's no wasting time. He's inspiring because he is very firm and very forgiving at the same time. Firmen's workouts offer a great balance of getting you to do what you think you can't, all with a smile. And laughter - working out with Firmen is always fun.

You want results and you want to feel good doing it? Train with Firmen.

In the past few weeks working with Firmen 2x/wk I have remembered what it feels like to really be in my body- Fantastic! Not only that, but I have a clear sense that the possibilities for getting my body to work in an optimal way are endless. I feel much more grounded, stronger, more empowered, and EXCITED to discover what my body is really capable of.

Firmen is extremely knowlegeable, and has a great ability to transmit his deep understanding of body mechanics to his clients. His optimism and encouragement transmute even the most long standing body issues, or entrenched self-limiting beliefs into opportunities to watch real transformation happen.

In my opinion Firmen is the Cream of the Crop at what he does. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I've watched Firmen train a lot of people and I've heard nothing but positive feedback. I've personally only had four sessions with Firmen and already, I'm feeling stronger and more grounded than I've ever felt before. This is helping me have a more powerful yoga, NIA and martial arts practice. I've also had a chronic neck/shoulder issue that has since disappeared since working with Firmen and Kettlebells. As a bonus, I've lost 3 lbs and I haven't even changed my diet yet.

Firmen is an expert in his field. Not only is he very detailed in his instruction, he also educates you about your own body so you are empowered to use that awareness to move more fluidly and powerfully in your body.

I've started to send clients to him to help educate them about their bodies and to improve their chronic aches and pains.

After only two weeks of Firmen's experiment, which included working with his co-workers, including yoga and fitness instructors, to see if he could improve our postures, increase our range of motion, and to see if he could nudge us off our individual plateaus. After only week 2 of the experiment I am standing taller and am getting a better sense of my body awareness. Firmen truly provides a fun but also very detailed and structured environment that promotes true growth and body awareness. I look forward to his 2 times-a-week sessions and all that he has to teach us.

As a professional dancer, Nia and Yoga instructor, movement is my life. Exercise is a part of my life that keeps me physically, mentally and spiritually fit. Kettlebell training with Firmen has been a tremendous benefit to my physical well being. My dancing has improved as well as my Nia and Yoga practice. I have improved my shoulder girdle stability, as well as stability in my hip and knee joints. Firmen's in depth instruction has been extremely beneficial in the learning process. He has created a positive, fun and intense environment that promotes individual drive as well as group support. I look forward to my weekly sessions as a result of his expertise.
