Aaron Gonzales was introduced to the Kettle Bell, as a weight lifting tool in May 2008. He decided to attend a workshop to learn more about the kettlebell; he came across the Dragon Door website and signed up for the RKC Instructor Workshop, under the presumption he would learn new weight lifting techniques. Two weeks prior to the workshop Aaron was introduced to "RKC hardstyle" the kettlebell's true ability. He trained privately with Jeff Mccombs and Lulin Tsai who gave him an exceptional two-week crash course. During the workshop, Aaron desired to become an instructor and he realized the Kettle Bell could change his life and the life of his clients. Fortunately(yes fortunately), Aaron did not pass the October 2008 workshop, but he returned home with the knowledge and determination to come back and learn the "RKC Hardstyle" system intricately and perfect his technique. Aaron trained daily and also trained privately with Dr. Mark Cheng, his friend and mentor. Aaron successfully became an RKC instructor in February 2009.In addition to the Kettle Bell, Aaron has thrived on living a healthy lifestyle, which includes a daily vigorous workout routine and healthy eating. Aaron wanted to help others become physically fit and help them reach their goals. Aaron has since become a Certified Kettlebell-Functional Movement Specialist and a ACSM certified personal trainer. Aaron has changed his approach to fitness, training, and rehabilitation. No new gimmicks or shiny new toys or trends (he has bought numerous infomercial gadgets from P90X to Bender balls) but now has stayed true to his system, that 100% money back guarantees results.As a Functional movement specialist movement patterns are a #1 priority which include correcting asymmetries, stability, and or mobility issues. These issues are addressed during the mandatory functional movement screening. The kettlebell and RKC is the tool and system used to correct movement patterns. Aaron has lost 70 lbs. and has since started training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He has won Silver at the Gracie Nationals and also a silver at the Worlds Jiu-Jitsu Tournament with having only trained for three and eight months respectively.Kettlebells, great coaching, and desire have allowed these milestones to become a reality. Aaron approaches your goals in life and fitness just as if they were his own and gets just as much if not more satisfaction in going above and beyond of what you thought possible

Top Notch... All the way!

Aaron Gonzales is one of the shining stars of the KBLA-RKC crew. As an outstanding athlete and experienced personal trainer, he picked up the RKC training method in relatively short time, applying it with diligence to his Machado Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition prep, earning him a medal.
He followed his RKC certification by attending the second CK-FMS workshop in St. Paul, and continues to make time to train with me privately and in group classes.
A stickler for details and safety, Mr. Gonzales will make sure that your training experience is demanding, yet sends you home moving better than you came in. Seek him out, train with him, enjoy the results!

Although skeptical at first because I had my own regiment of running and doing conventional weight lifting, I decided to give Aaron a chance after being manhandeled by a smaller yet stronger more conditioned athlete. After that disappointing match, Aaron approached me and stated he could work with me and get me the results that I wanted. After 6 weeks of working with Aaron utilizing kettlebells, I was amazed to see a major difference in my ability to perform the art of BJJ more efficiently but with less effort. Aaron was patient with teaching me the right technique of each exercise. Since working with him i've become smaller in statue yet stronger, more explosive and my condition if far more better. Aaron was true to his word and now I am a firm believer that his patience, dedication and strong desire to teach me the right techniques led me to be in the best shape of my life.

I met Aaron a few months ago and he has truly changed my life. Prior to meeting him I always had an excuse as to why I couldn't work out, but once I started his conditioning routine I was motivated almost instantly. I believe this had a lot to do with his self motivation and constant encouragement. However, I must admit the first couple of times I went in there thinking to myself how can these simple techniques change my life, but after a short time I saw a big difference. Not only am I exercising more, but my eating habits have changed full circle. His knowledge has enabled me to have self motivation to continue the "Healthy Living" lifestyle. I'm really excited to see the next steps in my journey with the Sen Sai.

I was in a rut in terms of my workout routine and I had reached a plateau and was not losing any weight. I was devastated and about to lose hope when I was introduced to Aaron. Aaron truly changed my life as I started to see results in a short time span. Aaron gave me the confidence that I needed especially since my initial thought when I was introduced to the kettlebell workout was "there is no way that I will be able to do this." I was intimidated by the kettlebell itself but Aaron was so confident that this was going to work for me that I told myself I have nothing to lose. Although I've only been training with Aaron for a short time, I already feel stronger, I'm losing inches and the weight is coming off. I'm so excited. Aaron provided the support that I needed. His dedication and professionalism definitely exceeded my expectations. I am a firm believer that if this worked for me that it will work for you to.

Aaron changed my life!!

I'm a 32 year old single mother of two. Before working with Aaron I'd tried different fitness programs, diets and did not see any results. I was at 165 lbs; my self esteem was down and knew I was ready for a change. Kettlebell training was a whole new world to me, I had no idea what they were or what they could do but I decided to give it a try.
When I first came to Aaron doing a squat was torture, I couldn't do a push up or much less a pull up. Aaron worked tirelessly and enthusiastically to first increase my mobility and strength. I've been training with Aaron for 4 months now and in this time he has educated me on eating right, the importance of proper breathing, movement, technique and most importantly to believe in myself! I am proud to say that I can now do proper squats, push ups and pull ups! Aaron knew exactly the right pace to get me started, keep me from quitting, and to push me forward. He is the perfect guide and is very careful to make sure I progress with the correct form to keep away from injury.
I've lost 25 lbs, (the right way), built muscle, gained strength, endurance, flexibility, confidence and I'm healthier now than I EVER thought imaginable and very much in the swing with kettlebells. I still look in the mirror and can't believe the results!
Aaron is and dedicated, believes in his clients and is there every step of the way, from the morning reminder to the late night tips. I'm proof that Aaron can change your life. If you want results you've found the right man!!
