Jason Wood
Russian Kettlebell Instructor

World's Greatest Kettlebell Instructor	Rated 10 out of 10
I've been working out with Jason twice a week for over a year. I've been able to run/bike/hike faster and farther and I never get sore. Kettlebells definitely work.

The Official RKC Resultist!

Rated 10 out of 10

Jason is a devoted, extraordinary RKC trainer. He is down-to-earth, friendly and always reassuring me "I can do it" when I insist "I can't." He positively communicates and demonstrates proper techniques and encourages the importance of breathing, visualizing and believing in yourself. Jason puts together exciting, powerful training sessions that are the hardest workouts I've ever experienced and the most rewarding. My training started in a traditional manner along with Z-Health movements with much success. After only one month Jason introduced me to Russian Kettelbells. My body has never been the same, the fat has melted-off my body in the most delicious way. I can never thank Jason enough for helping me to find my new passion Russian Kettlebells, helping me get the results I wanted (true weight loss of 40 pounds) and getting me into the best shape of my life. Don't hesitate; call Jason now and start getting the results you desire! Your body will be glad you did. Lisa Dee - Arvada, CO

At a recent RKC Jason took the time to really help me out. All of the instructors were full of knowledge, but Jason had such passionate teaching ability which really set him apart from the others. I took notice and I listened. With a well rounded background in z-health and functional movement Jason is on pace to become a great leader in the fitness industry. I would advise him of getting involved in speaking events and putting on presentations in near future. Beau Nelson - Chicago

Enthusiasm, Knowledge and Passion

Rated 10 out of 10

Jason and I assisted together under Ron Morris, RKC Team Leader, at the October, 2008 RKC. We were RKC underlings one year prior in 2007. It was awesome to Jason one year later as a mature and respectable instructor. He takes his training and passion for people very seriously and wants to spread the word to everyone he meets. Jason's enthusiasm for bettering the human body is infectious which makes everyone around him energetic. I would highly recommend Jason and his training services to anyone looking to better themselves, physically and mentally. Just make sure to take a few shots of espresso before you meet up with Jason so you can keep up! ;-) Jason Marshall, RKC - Lubbock, TX USA

He showed me how to get the core strength I never had

Rated 10 out of 10

I met Jason a few years ago and he had always been an amazing trainer making every workout challenging, as well as an enjoyable experience. As soon as he introduced me to kettlebells, I was HOOKED! He taught me a variety of different exercises on them and how it drastically improved my core strength and more importantly, helped strengthen my lower back to the point where it wouldn't hurt anymore after power lifts such as squatting, deadlifts, and clean and jerk. I used to wrestle and I still workout fairly consistently, so I thought I had good core strength to begin with. Nevertheless, Jason's kettlebell training made a world of difference and I can't stress enough how much it changed me for the better. I Ranging from those of us who only hit the gym on occasion, all the way to well-conditioned athletes, his kettlebell training can still improve you regardless of your condition. I had a well defined mid-section before, but with the kettlebells, it really gets that extra definition in the right places because it's a full body encompassing workout. I didn't even run when I did the kettlebells and I was becoming shredded from just the training itself! Try him out, and you will be in for some of the most interesting, enjoyable, and productive workouts you've ever done! Haig D. - Storrs, CT

Inspirational Comrad	Rated 10 out of 10

Professionalism, Passion and Intensity

Rated 10 out of 10

These are the three words I chose to define Jason Wood. I had the opportunity to have Jason as an assistant coach during my RKC certification course in October 2008. Although Jason was very intense, and hard on his students, he demonstrated great concern for each person in the group. His knowledge in general fitness and kettlebell training allowed him to push us beyond our limits with great common sense and safety! Jason has the ability to instruct a large group, and at the same time focus on each individual and his/her needs. He is also fun to be around and has a great sense of humor and awesome personality. Unfortunately I live too far to continue training with Jason. But I do recommend him to anyone who is serious about getting in the best shape of his life.

Jason Wood is a fun and passionate kettlebell instructor. He loves what he does and you can see it and feel it in the way he talks and teaches. Jason's blunt, honest and goofy "east-coast" personality meshes perfectly with his approach to teaching kettlebells. I mean, would the guy have this many testimonials if his clients didn't love him? Jason's outside of the box thinking allows him to help his clients get out of pain and get into shape! Brian Copeland - Denver, CO USA

It's been almost a year since I had the pleasure to train with Jason in CT. I found out that he will be in CT for a week in December. I took this apportunity to schedule another session, hour of Z and KBs. During the training session Jason blew me away with his increased knowledge, keen eye on technique, and ability to effectively correct and teach.

Five sessions in, all three of us have signed up for his beginning RKB class. His insistence on good form and skills keeps us coming back for more.

High enthusiasm and expert know how

Rated 10 out of 10

recently had the privilege of training one afternoon with RKC and Z-Health instructors Jason Wood and Brian Copeland. As an Olympic-style weightlifter with national-level competition under my belt, I was already strong and flexible, but these men and their expert techniques helped spot some significant areas for improvement in my squat. The importance of this insight cannot be overstated, as the squat movement is at the heart of every Olympic-style lift. Within a few minutes of analysis they were able to spot one leg bowing in towards my center, and a few Z-health techniques later, I was able to feel the joints loosening. Under their instruction I reached the point where it was like a light flipped on in my nervous system, and I said, "Aha!" and realized what I'd been doing wrong all this time. They were able to recommend movement patterns and related drills that will undoubtedly be of great benefit in the future of my training, for both greater strength and healthier knee joints. I highly recommend Jason Wood for learning how kettlebell and Z-health methods can and will work for you. Alex Roman, Collegiate National Weightlifting - Colorado Springs, CO

I cannot wait to learn more drills. Peter.K - Denver, CO

great added addition

Rated 10 out of 10

After a serious cycling accident a couple of years ago I was told never to cycle again. I have been able to ride again since then but minimally and always with pain. After training with Jason and Kettlebells I can not only ride pain free, but my position is where it is was pre-accident. Jason runs a well designed class and is more fun then I have ever had getting in shape. I highly recommend training with Jason. Randy. G - Denver, CO

Stellar

Rated 10 out of 10

Jason Wood infuses the class with an electrifying energy unlike any other. His blended style of drill-sergeant and stand-up comic transforms an intense work-out into an enjoyable event. His knowledge of kettle bell training is outstanding, and his enthusiastic approach is motivational. Jason is aware of everyone's individual needs and tailors the program to maximize each persons workout. My personal progress is fantastic,and Jason is an absolutely stellar instructor. C.

Surprise benefit

Rated 10 out of 10

I signed up for Jason's level 1 Kettlebell class to improve my physical fitness and strength. To my surprise my nagging shoulder pain has disappeared and my carpal tunnel is so much better. I can now do things I was unable to do. The class was fun and filled with people with different backgrounds all working hard together. Jason's classes are hard, but well worth the effort.

Pain free sleep

Rated 10 out of 10

Jason's Kettlebell class has helped me in more ways then I thought it would when I signed up for his 5 week beginner class. Having a physically demanding job left me with a hurt back and weak core. Jason showed me the skills I need to decrease my back pain and increase my movement quality. After 5 weeks of daily Z health and 2 days a week of Kettlebell swings and Turkish get ups my back feels great and I can sleep through the night. Jason was great with each students individual needs and I felt totally conformable learning kettlebells form him, and best of all I can sleep through the night. Pam. S - Denver, CO

Life changing

Rated 10 out of 10

The combination of Kettlebells and Z health has changed my life. Jason does an excellent job at mixing exercise and drills that complement each other in order to produce a killer workout that address muscular strength , pain relief and cardiovascular fitness. One of the biggest improvements I have noticed is the pain I used to get in my calves and lower back when I used to run is gone. After taking his level 2 kettlebell class I completed my best time ever in the Boulder Boulder 10k race...pain free. The classes also build great comradery amongst other students keeping things interesting and fun. Jason continues to be an excellent and fun Kettlebell instructor and think everyone would benefit from training with him. Thanks again Jason Keep it up Janet. S CPA - Lakewood, CO

Jay is an Expert in Movement and Kettlebell Training	Rated 10 out of 10
Jay is one of the best kettlebell instructors I know. His depth of knowledge of kettlebell training is immense, and Jay is really an expert on human movement at a level that most trainers will never reach. I strongly recommend Jay Wood. I feel really fortunate to be friends with Jay, and I know I learn something about training every time I hang out with him Josh Hillis, RKC2 - Denver, CO

Kettlebell Genius

I recently started taking kettlebell classes with Jason Wood. I was only a little interested when his classes first started but after a few, I realized I was accomplishing the best performance goals of my life. I am a competitive cyclist and the improvement I've seen in my biking abilities has been far beyond my expectations. I would highly reccomend him as an instructor!

Healthier than Before--Updated

Rated 10 out of 10

I continued to take Kettlebell. I have high blood pressure. I was never into salty foods or TV dinners and the high pressure was found to be a genetic issue. I was put on medication. I stared training for a half marathon and did the Horsetooth Half in Fort Collins and my blood pressure didn't move. After 3 weeks of kettlebell level 2, my blood pressure went down 20 points! Maybe some day I can come off these meds. Thanks Jason! Darika D - Wheat Ridge, CO

Insightful and Uplifting

Rated 10 out of 10

Ok, so it is 9:05pm in Denver, CO and I'm chilling in the airport waiting to go home. Five days ago, I made my way to this beautiful city to train with the one and only, JWood (a.k.a. Jason Wood from How do you move.com). What a learning experience! We started Thursday off with Jason's private clients at 5:45am and continued on until we finished around 9:00pm that night. What a day! And what a trainer! I watched as Jason interacted with his clients, teaching them Z-Health and Kettlebells. I was amazed at how well he was able to teach them movement drills and how important follow-up homework for the client really is. And you know what the best part is? Not a single client of Jason's has any pain! He has been able to help an individual sleep through the night who hasn't had a full nights sleep in over a year. And he helped her to do this in only two weeks! Amazing right?! Jason not only helped me clear up some of my own questions about Z-Health and the RKC, but gave me a better understanding on how these tow systems work and just how amazing they really are! I have so many new ideas and ways to incorporate the program into my clients' routines that I can't wait to get started. He was also able to teach me some key points to look for with my own clients, and how to be a better individual personally and professionally. I leave my experience with Jason to be uplifting and insightful, and I would highly recommend anyone take the time to work with him! Megan Carey. CPT, owner Carey on Fitness - Arizona

Great combo

Rated 10 out of 10

Using Kettlebells under the instruction of Jason has been a great experience. My lower back and hernia condition where not effected at all and Jason made sure I never over did it. Being one of the older students it was nice to know I was in good hands. I never felt I was treated like I could not do something because of my age(77). This class also was a great combination of aerobic and strength training. I only wish I had stared this 30 years ago. Better late then never though. C.W Tarr - Wheat Ridge, CO

Stunned!!!

Rated 10 out of 10

I am stunned at the speed with which KB's created big improvements in my body. I learned how to recruit the larger muscles in my body my hips have never felt stronger. Near life long issues with my back have disappeared in only 3-4 weeks. Being a Feldenkrais practitioner and movement teacher for over 13 years. I appreciated Jason's clarity of teaching new and complex skills. His integration of Z health makes learning kettlebells go faster and greatly decrease the chance of injury. I recommended Jason Class to my 77 year old father, who was in my class and experienced similar results. Kettlebells are for everyone. Andrew. T B.A. GCFP Feldenkrais practitioner - Wheat Ridge,CO

Only class of it's kind

Rated 10 out of 10

I have been overweight my entire life and always DESPISED exercise classes. Jason's Kettlebell class is truly the only class of it's kind that I have ever enjoyed. I have grown substantially stronger it the 5 weeks I've been taking the class and more confidence in my physical ability. Jason is an excellent teacher whose commitment to keeping us safe in class was exemplary. He gave us more individual attention then I've ever received in other classes. Jason also has this sense of humor about him that makes people in his class feel more like friends then some stranger standing next to you. Very supportive, very fun and very effective. Thanks Jwood see you next class Allison Horsky - Wheat Ridge, CO

Awesome Motivator!	Rated 10 out of 10
I enjoyed Jason as a personal trainer and then as a class instructor. He has a way of pushing for a person's best - he knew what I could do long before I did. It is evident that Jason loves what he does and he is eager to share his expertise. Thanks, Jason! Chris S. - Wheat Ridge, CO

Good Health	Rated 10 out of 10
Jason has been my personal trainer for over 16 months. I have developed arm strength that I never had before because of his knowledge of kettlebells. He is willing to listen and help when I have a problem with a specific exercise. I enjoy the Z-health drills as I can do many of them before a golf game. Sharon McGee - Wheat Ridge, CO

Hard Work Gets Results

Rated 10 out of 10

The results I experienced at the end of this class were achieved because Jason pushed us all to an extent I didn't feel I personally was capable of achieving when I first started. I'm 77 years old, inherited great genes, so I feel this gives me an excellent start on my own program to achieve a level of good fitness that I can apply to tennis and golf using kettlebells and the Z Health DVD's.

I Wish I Had Started this sooner!

Rated 10 out of 10

I have just finished a five-week beginning kettlebell class after working with Jason as a personal trainer for five weeks. I went to Jason because I was getting NO results using treadmills, weights, etc. I felt I had tried everything and was getting bigger. And, I was hurting in my shoulders! I bought into the "correct" shoes, which as it turned out, were totally wrong for me and part of the problem not part of the solution. I started with Jason and the first thing he said was "get rid of those shoes"! Since he explained everything to me first instead of just telling me what to do, I was able to understand why I should do the specific movements and why I should change shoes (which I have done and it's made a huge difference). This information and Jason's patience made a big difference in the results and in my motivation to do my homework and continue in the kettlebell exercise process. In the five weeks of personal training, I dropped a clothing size and was not experiencing nearly the frustration of keeping the weight off and even continuing to drop a few pounds. With the Z Exercise, I was able to start lifting my arms over my head which had not been the case when I started the personal training because my shoulder joints were always hurting. I have found the Kettlebell classes to be terrific for overall wellness in terms of strength and cardio. I'm feeling better and using every muscle in my body!!! I am telling more people about Jason's Z Health and kettlebells and trying to get them off of what I now know are detrimental training practices. I will be starting Kettlebell boot camp classes in a week -- in the meantime, I am going for walks in my flat, flexible shoes. Jason did a great job in the beginning class that I just finished. We had people who were really at all different levels of fitness and Jason was able to give each of us the attention needed for our respective level of ability. Jason was always cognizant of the safety issues and, not only corrected the safety lapse, but told us how to remedy the move and how we could be injured from the safety lapse. I wish I had met Jason sooner for not only the kettlebell classes but for the Z Health. During my life outside of class, I find myself using the Z Health drills for overall well being. Good job Jason! Keep up the good work and I will continue to tell people about Z Health and Kettlebells! Charlene Zahn Busch - Denver, CO

Beyond simply running through Kettlebell moves

Rated 10 out of 10

I came to the Jason's Kettlebell 1 class for two reasons: One was to learn proper form using Kettlebells and two was to learn the whys and how Kettlebells differ from other weight training. I believe I got both. As a person with coaching experience myself, I could appreciate how well Jason was presenting the material. As someone who has participated in fairly consistent strength and conditioning for the past 30 years I could tell Jason knew his stuff even and opened me up to some new stuff has well. Even when I disagreed with some of the stuff he taught, I always was able to understand his point of view and the concept he was presenting. Jason also broke down some very difficult movements into easy to master segments.All of these things will make continue using Kettlebells simple and effective John.B - Wheat Ridge, CO

Amazing attention to detail and expertise

Rated 10 out of 10

I arranged a 1 on 1 training session with Jason after meeting him on the Dragondoor forum. I must say I am not usually one to seek out a trainer but typically buy the dvd, book, etc. and figure things out on my own. I've been doing that with KB's for 4-5 months now with ETK and Superjoints and Resilient dvd's (all of which are excellent). However, after just one session with Jason I have to say it was worth every penny. Jason's depth of knowledge both as an RKC and Zhealth instructor was amazing. Before even picking up a KB, he had that nagging knee and shoulder pain pretty much gone. I'm not sure if this makes sense but I just felt like I was moving better all from working through specific joint mobility Zhealth drills. I've since received and begun working through the R phase program at home but don't think it would have made as much sense if I hadn't worked with Jason. Then we pulled out the KB and within minutes my swing felt crisper and sharper and just generally better. Little things that seemed to hurt with the swing were gone under his sharp eye. My TGU form was much farther off of what it needed to be and probably contributing to some of my nagging pains. He was very patient in working me through the drill from bottom to top and back again. Now I feel more confident and stable as I'm working my TGU's. His attention to detail and level of expertise were mind boggling. I am not a professional or even amateur athlete in any sense of the word. I'm a 40 y/o working dad who really just wants to keep up with his kids without killing myself and yet working with Jason I felt like his interest in my success was no less than if he was working with a professional athlete. Again, Jason's attention to detail, knowledge base and depth and passion for what he does are second to none in my book. The books & DVD's I have from Dragondoor and Zhealth are definitely excellent resources, but now they are making more sense. It's like I now have the context to really understand what they are teaching. If you're anywhere near Denver, CO schedule a session with Jason. I drove over an hour to meet with him and haven't second-guessed that decision for a minute. Thanks so much Jason. Dave S. - Fort Collins, CO

Couldn't have passed RKC without him!

Rated 10 out of 10

Jason is a great instructor and really knows his stuff. I thought I was in good shape and had good technique, so I called Jason for some fine tuning before I went to my RKC certification. I had so much to learn! Jason did a great job of pushing me in every way- polishing my work, correcting mistakes, pushing my conditioning, and saving my hands. In addition, he taught me some great Z-Health drills to keep me limber, relaxed, and strong. I couldn't reccommend him more! Jason Cox - Denver, CO

Unselfish Instructor

Rated 10 out of 10

I took Jason's Intro to Kettlebells class earlier this year. Due to my work schedule, I can't be a regular student of his. But today I was in the gym and he saw me working out. He took some time to critique my workout and offered some advice as well as taught me some new moves. He also gave me permission to use the kettlebells that he has in a back office so I don't have to lug my own to the gym. Thanks, Jason! Anthony G. - Denver, CO

Awsome coach

Rated 10 out of 10

I had the privilege of meeting Jason at a Z-health certification last year. Jason helped me organize a program for my kettlebell studio that included z-health with kettlebell. I have used the program with much success ever since. He has a wonderful sense of humor which makes him fun to work with. Jason also took away an elbow problem that I was having during presses, which was very helpful, and I have gained strength with my new ability to press. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone invested in having a good time, feeling great and getting fit. Thank you Jason! Keira Newton RKC II, z-health level 2 Keira Newton RKC II - Santa Fe, NM

Amazing Knowledge to be shared.

Rated 10 out of 10

Jason is much more than a trainer. He is a coach that will help you get to where you need to be. During his sessions you do work out, but he is always teaching you and adding things for each individual as well that will help them get exactly what they need. I enjoyed his teaching style too,he isn't mean but isn't gentle either, he is just enough of what anyone needs. A true Guru and great to learn from and work with. Thanks Jason.

Excellent Instructor

Rated 10 out of 10

I would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking to get in shape and see results. His combination of Z-Health and Kettlebell as well as attention to detail result in a highly effective workout. I saw more results from a few months of training with him than I did from 5 months of intense triathlon training. I still have a ways to go to meet my overall goals, and I plan on having kettlebells as part of my workout to get me there. Theresa - Denver, CO

7lbs in weeks

Rated 10 out of 10

I lost approximately 7 lbs over the duration of the Jason kettlebell class. I believe I have less cramps in the foot and legs. I feel healthier and better about myself after taking this class. My ADL's as a musician seem to be more fluid and smooth as a results of Jason's education and knowledge about the body and muscles. As a newcomer to kettlebells and fitness classes in general, I think the class was fun and what I liked most was how everyone else made me feel. Great class, great fun and great job Jason I am hooked. Dwight Mark. Muscian - Denver, CO 80215

A Great Mix!	Rated 10 out of 10
Jason teaches a great class! He includes a great mix of training and discussion of body mechanics and movement. I have learned a lot and have increased in both strength and flexibility.

It's Addicting!

I have been working out for most of my adult life, typically 3-5 hours a week, without ever seeing much change in my body. After five weeks of kettlebells, I feel stronger, leaner, and much more fit!

Increasing Off-Season Speed

I was looking for something to increase speed, change overall body composition, and to decrease the chance of injury. I am a competitive Roller-Derby player, and wanted to improve all aspects of my sport. I signed up during the off-season to get in shape and prepare me for the season. I have had a great experience with Jason's kettlebell and Z-Health classes that I have signed up again to keep the results coming. It is such a different approach and Jason has been a big part of it. He pushes me to try harder and work on technique. I laugh that I don't feel it during the workout, but the next day is killer!

Better then the rest

Rated 10 out of 10

I originally heard about this class through Jason, as well as through the WR Rec Center. Originally I wanted to take this class to increase strength, stay lean, and develop different types of speed skills. From this program I have lost about 2lbs and I have decreased my body fat% by 2 1/2%. I have increased my strength by about 15-20 pounds per exercise when I'm in the gym. I've been through basic training with the Navy and kettlebells training was much more difficult and effective than there training was. I have never experienced such rapid results as I have with this. I've discovered that my range of motion far greater in my shoulders than it ever has been and I am now able to touch my toes where as before I wasn't. Jason made the learning process extremely comfortable and easy. He teaches different moves, such as Turkish getup, in stages, focusing on proper form so that you receive maximum results. On of the best parts about his teaching style is that he is focused on pushing your abilities to the limit, while reducing pain, and preventing personal injury. Z Health is amazing in terms how it works only with your bodies "wiring." It seems that your body will instantly become more flexible, without stretching, by simply lubricating your joints with Z Health. The class was absolutely fantastic and that is why I'm taking it again. I'm looking forward to seeing how kettlebells and Z health will affect my performance as an athlete. Damon.A - Wheat Ridge,CO

Incredibly Rewarding!

Jason Wood's Kettlebell-I class has been an incredibly rewarding experience. In my line of work as a pastry chef I consume thousands of calories daily, and the aerobic fitness has helped me to maintain a healthy weight. In 5 weeks I have gained strength and coordination that has improved my quality of life. I have enlisted two friends to participate in class with me, and their results are the same, if not greater than mine. I would recommend this class to everyone! Rosie Halldorson - Arvada, CO

Energized and Inspired!

I would recommend this instructor because of his ability to modify the exercises to meet my needs. Even though I have a bum-knee, I'm able to improve my strength. That's really important to me at my age and stage in life, to save my bones. Jason keeps it interesting by introducing a variety of kettlebell moves in combination with the Z-Health work. I'm energized and inspired by the growth I've achieved under Jason's capable instruction, especially after sitting at a desk all day! Theresa T. - Lakewood, CO

My name is Darryl Lardizabal CPT,CES,PES, USAW Sports Performance Coach, and Z-Health R,I,S,T Sports Performance Specialist and have been around the block so to speak, working with several trainers, doctors, physiologists, etc, and not many who I feel are "with it" in terms of knowledge and practical application of what makes the body really tick. I met Jason at both Level 2 and Level 4 Z-Health certifications and really spent some time talking to him about what makes his training tick, and not only does he make training fun (we had a blast throwing around kettlebells), but brings on the technical expertise to go with it. I've watched him training clients and had tips from him that saved me months of learning on my own. Next time I'm back in Colorado, I'm planning to give him a visit, because he's not just a good trainer, but a good friend! Watch out now! Darryl Lardizabal - Sacramento, California, USA

Direct and easy to follow

Rated 10 out of 10

I started taking kettlebell classes with Jason one year ago. I am a pretty fit person and have always exercised in some form or another, mostly with team sports. I found kettlebell to be totally invigorating to my workouts and my motivation. Jason's explanations were direct and easy to follow, and his demonstrations were always in perfect form. I continue to practice with kettlebells and tell as many people as I can about its benefits. .Liz. Leonard - George Washington University SPHHS
