Jeff introduced me to my new love- KETTLEBELLS!!
Rated 10 out of 10
Jeff is an amazing kettlebell instructor! Through his training I have been able to lose over 10% body fat and totally reshape my body. His passion for k-bells is contagious. Above all he always makes sure that my form & technique are my main focus. Thanks Jeff!

Jeff's the ideal trainer - natural, holistic, body-knowledgeable, motivating. No ego and not a juicer/poser. His focus is technique, especially safe technique. Kettlebell training is pretty amazing --- I've never had a fitness routine that I'm pissed if I miss. At age 50, we hit a crossroad --- a choice to deteriorate or invigorate. Kettlebells & Bootcamp saved my life --- and empowered an active lifestyle I aim to have for the next 40 years.

Technique first and last
Rated 10 out of 10
Jeff's ability to address body mechanics and technique at every stage of the movement is second to none. His diverse background allows him to break down the intricacies of kettlebell training such that each lesson is a building block. After 12 weeks with Jeff-and his acute attention to detail-I know I have a good foundation. Thanks for that.

I'm hooked on Kettlebells....
Rated 10 out of 10
I thought that Jeff's bootcamps were the best until I signed up for his Kettlebell Class. Jeff's classes are the perfect mix of instruction, building the basic skills and techniques and finishing with a super intense strength and conditioning workout. His ability to break down each exercise and patiently lead, teach and coach his students is what has me hooked. Thanks Jeff for making me stronger...

The Best Coach Ever!
Rated 10 out of 10
I started Kettle Bell training with Jeff last October, 2008. I am totally hooked! In each class we have continued to build on our techniques and the strength I now have, compared to the beginning, is incredible! It is an intense workout! I am always confident that Jeff is watching our form so we do every move correctly and don't get hurt on our way to the strongest bodies ever! He is amazing and very fun to work out with. He is extremely conscientious and always encouraging with an extra smile along the way. The perfect coach! I thought I liked his Boot Camp but I love Kettle Bells! I seriously can't see working out, this hard, for any other coach! Thanks Jeff!

Technique and Confidence
Rated 10 out of 10
Jeff was one of the assistants on the team I was on at the 2009 San Jose certification. Jeff helped me with technique, confidence, and motivation. He made sure I didn't get in the way of myself. I appreciated that he talked to me not only as teacher to student but as person to person. I would recommend Jeff to anyone.
