Franz is very passionate about his life and especially his work. He is passionate about training, teaching, learning, nutrition and enjoys sharing his knowledge with others. He is on a constant search for knowledge and perfection which is why he is in great demand to teach and train. His ability is outstanding. The only other trainer in southern California who is his equal but has different strengths is Yoana Snideman. They are truly dynamic partners.

Franz differs from most trainers because of his broad KNOWLEDGE of the subject, as well as the science behind exercise and conditioning. Not only does he know simple things like muscle groups, but he understand the details of conditioning, force application, fatique effects, nutrition and overall wellness.

He is an excellent one on one trainer who will not only help you get in shape, you will never get board and humor will play active roll in your exercise session

excellent

Without ever raising his voice Franz kept our team at the RKC weekend focused on hard work, learning, and safety. I would trust him completely as a trainer because under his coaching at the event, I did a snatch workout using a weight I'd never snatched before. He is able to teach and encourage in a comfortable, expert way.

Franz has a wealth of knowledge. He treats his clients as individuals and is totally committed to their success. His blend of old school and cutting edge techniques brings a whole new meaning to the development of kinesiology. If you want to reclaim or improve your health through exercise and diet, Franz is the guy.

It's clear to anyone that with Franz's years of experience and various certifications he has the fitness knowledge. What sets him apart from other trainers are his passion, enthusiasm, and willingness to help. When working with him, it is clear that helping others reach their goals is his passion. Every time we worked together he went above and beyond what he had to do to help me with fitness and life goals.
I trained with him for months preparing to get my RKC certification and I can say with total confidence I COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT HIM. Thank you, Franz, you have really made a difference for me.

I had the great honor to have Franz as my Instructor in the HKC cert I attended. He is a first class gentleman, a knowledgable and relatable teacher, and a temendous leader, I would run through a wall for him. There were several amazing RKC instructors who came to the workshop and they all seemed to hold him in such high esteem, it was incredible to see. Despite all of his tremendous qualities, he is as humble and down to earth and approachable as they come, which speaks to his unparalleled character. I have such high esteem for him, I could rave for days about him after only meeting him once.

I attended the HKC in Tempe last month and learned a great deal about honing in technique and teaching proper progressions. I had been using kettlebells for a couple years prior and was really impressed with the teaching style of Franz. He was able to spot some minor flaws in several of my exercises and with good coaching I was able to correct them rather quickly.

Franz was also big on giving us ways we can relate the benefits of kettle bells and the RKC methodology to our clients. His teaching style was very professional and he was able to include lots of humor to keep the atmosphere fun. I would recommend Franz to any level of kettle bell user.

I have been working with Franz over the past 7 months preparing for the RKC this past weekend in San Diego. And because of the work I did with him I passed! I really have Franz to thank for helping me along in this journey. He is an exceptional teacher and a genuine person. As his student, learning from him was both easy and fun. His teaching ability is almost an understated part of his personality.

In learning any skill, good teachers are hard to find and excellent teachers are even more scarce. Looking back on my experience and work with Franz, my eyes have been opened to how deep a wealth of knowledge Franz has and his excellent his teaching skills. He teaches very effortlessly and has taken my technique from terrible in some area, I could barely snatch the 16kg bell when I came to him, to passing my snatch test with plenty of time left over. I feel extremely fortunate to have been mentored through the preparation for the RKC with Franz. I hope one day to be able to mirror even a fraction of his teaching ability. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Franz Snideman led my team at the recent Orlando RKC weekend - and demonstrated fantastic leadership. The thing that stands out the most (to me at least) is his ability to have a "big picture" viewpoint. When coaching he's taking everything into account - and this makes for very meaningful exercise correction that STICKS. His realistic approach with a given student/client assures a safe, effective, and educational experience. Our team performed extremely well at the RKC, and I know that this has a lot to do with Franz Snideman's clear communication, wealth of RKC knowledge, and responsible leadership. I hope to work with him again!
