1st Place July 2008 NAKF meet in Long Cycle clean and jerk 24 kg class (71 reps)
RKC level 2 instructor
Currently, I am the owner of Rhodes Fusion Fitness which is a kettlebell, self defense,
and yoga studio in the Chicago area where I teach self defense and group kettlebell
classes. I chose FUSION in the name of my studio, because
I am fusing all of the the knowledge from a lot of great instructors as well as personal
experience as a former practicing chiropractor, competitive athlete, and martial artist.
I really enjoy taking people and helping them to restore their function with flexibility
and mobility training, their coordination with martial arts drills, and their strength
and conditioning with HARDSTYLE kettlebell training. It is a
point of great pride to see people achieve their goals and to see their excitement
when they make changes with themselves.

I lost 60 pounds with Prentiss
Rated 10 out of 10
I have been a gym rat my whole life and have had lots of trainers in the past. None have even come close to Prentiss. After I turned 40 and had 2 kids in 18 months with a 60 pound weight gain each time, a friend recommended I train with Prentiss. He is a very smart, focused, serious kettle bell expert. His well thought out sessions with the bells allowed me to gain strength at the same time I was getting an incredible cardio workout.
Check out Prentiss. He's the best!

Efficient Total Body Workout.
Rated 10 out of 10
I have been training with Prentiss for almost a year. I have achieved unbelievable results from training with Prentiss and the kettle bells. He is a patient, extremely knowledgeable, and motivating instructor. The kettle bell training is by far the most efficient total body workout I have experienced. Not only has my overall strength increased but my endurance in other activities and range of motion have improved as well.

Tremendous workout.
Rated 10 out of 10
I have worked with and trained with Prentiss for about 2 years. He introduced me to RKC training. As a personal trainer myself I realized the benefits of RKC training right away. Personally, I am seeing results in my overall muscular endurance and upper-body strength (which was stagnant). Prentiss is a true teacher, tough but patient and I have learned alot from each of our training sessions. I have committed to take the RKC challenge in June as a result.

Most fun, cost efficient, and result producing workout!
Rated 10 out of 10
He is without doubt the best trainer I have had. What separates him from other trainers is that fact that he always finds a way to trick your body and does not waste a single minute! Prentiss is extremely patient and makes the kettlebell workouts a blast. With my favorite music in the background, the circuits go by so quickly that I feel like I am in a trance! Another reason I picked Prentiss is that fact that he is so affordable. I am getting the biggest bang for the buck since the sessions are less expensive but way more productive.

Powerful and effective workout
Rated 10 out of 10
I have been working with Prentiss for 4 months, but in that time I have gained so many benefits. My strength and endurance have increased tremendously. I have lost weight as well as inches. With his knowledge of Sports Rehabilitation, he was able to help me to resolve some physical problems. Classes are extremely affordable. He is very effective with all age groups. So if you want the best and want to see positive results, CONTACT PRENTISS!

The most knowledgeable instructor out there!!!

I am telling you if you are looking to get lean, ripped and functionally stronger than ever before call Prentiss! I am a submission wrestling competitor and soon to be MMA competitor and I have been working with Prentiss for about four years on strength & conditioning on top of Mixed Martial Arts training. Because of Prentiss's workout programs even if my opponent is more skilled than I am I can make it up with strength & endurance and keep a pace the other guy cant. If you are looking to take your fitness and/or Martial Arts conditioning to the next level CALL PRENTISS!!

Fitness Whisperer
Rated 10 out of 10
Prentiss is the calm inner and outer voice that motivates me to try and do things I never thought possible. I was a high level executive whose main exercise was picking up the phone. He took me from sedentary to moving fast and efficiently.
Every workout is unique so I never get bored. And his chiropractic knowledge has been so beneficial in overcoming some of my physical barriers. Don't be fooled by his gentle demeanor. He can cram more into five minutes than most do in an hour.
Prentiss knows how to get the best out of his students, and encourage them to work efficiently and to the best of their abilities. I now realize it is not about competition, it is the journey to becoming one's best. And there is no one I trust more than Prentiss with whom to take this lifetime trip.

Awesome instructor!
Rated 10 out of 10
I've had previous trainers in the past in big gyms, little gyms, and have struggled with my weight since my first pregnancy. I've never felt as comfortable and at ease as I have with Prentiss. When I first saw the kettlebells I thought he was crazy, but he took the time to teach me how to use them properly and efficiently.
He's never made me feel like "the fat girl" in room. He pushes me enough to keep me coming back and keeps the workouts fun and interesting. I always walk out of a workout session feeling fantastic and confident.
I truly trust that he listens to what I want from my postpartum body and is helping me to get there. I'll never expect to look like a supermodel, but every workout makes me stronger and more flexible than before. Now all other workouts pale in comparison!

Very Impressive
Rated 10 out of 10
I ran collegiate track and I workout everyday; somedays with kettlebells and I thoughy this workshop was very impressive. It was tough and very beneficial. I enjoyed this class but it was very exhausting
Shanon - Chicago,IL USA
This Workshop was Well Done
Rated 10 out of 10
There is nothing like simple, plain English instructions...no fancy jargon. The workshop was well done and easy to understand. I had a good workout even with the instruction.
This workshop was well organized. The floor was always open for questions and Prentiss was professional and well mannered. He pointed out how one needs to explode from the hips and legs properly. I recommend this class to anyone willing to try and find their strengths and weaknesses

Good Teacher
Rated 10 out of 10
I liked the workshop because Prentiss explained the movement, showed it by example and let us practice. His knowledge translated directly into the exercise. I also like that he came around and checked form.

Great Workshop
Rated 10 out of 10
The workshop helped me to address my strengths and especially my weaknesses in various exercise movement patterns by elevating my awareness in my biomechanics throughout an exercise motion. It has given me significant information on how to demonstrate and corresct kettlebell drills for me and my clients
