Carolyn Brumfield has been an incredible Kettlebells trainer to me over the past year. After graduating from college, I experienced a shift in lifestyle and metabolism. Going from hiking across campus all day to sitting at a desk 40+ hours a week, I quickly gained 15 pounds and was quickly unable to wear a lot of clothes in my wardrobe.
Then a co-worker turned me onto Carolyn and Kettlebells. I was able to turn my fitness and attitude around as I began attending Carolyn's classes 2-3 times per week. Carolyn taught me how to develop my form and technique with the bells very early and I started to notice a lot of progress quickly. I felt a change in my energy level, flexibility and endurance. One of my proudest moments was when I graduated to the 12kg bell.
I owe a lot of my success to my wonderful trainer, Carolyn. She is always is so positive. Unlike many trainers who just yell at you and seem angry, Carolyn genuinely wants to see her students improve and succeed in their goals. She really makes you want to do better and try for that heavier weight or go for a few additional reps. She also always manages to come up with a new move or routine for us to try which keeps the classes fresh and exciting.
To date I've lost 10 lbs and am sure that I can continue until I can fit into every last piece of clothing in my closet. I recommend Carolyn to many of my friends and they've all loved her too!

Motivating!!

Carolyn Brumfield is the greatest motivating instructor. She can Motivate you to push yourself beyond your means without the "drill seargent" techniques. I have lost 60lbs, and managed to keep it off for about a year now. I am only 26 years old but I am in better shape than I was when I was 18 years old.
I too also drive over 30 minutes each way to her classes, it is truly THAT good! I recommend you come in for an indoor or perhaps an outdoor class! I will see you there!

Carolyn is the real deal! Her instruction is truly first class and
she has excellent technique with the KBs. Furthermore, she is able to impart her wisdom in such a manner and style that the student is able to quickly pick up the proper form and technique of the KB movements (which is critical).
Carolyn's classes are well-designed and really push the student to have a great workout. Classes are fun, too. In fact, I drive over 20 miles round-trip in order to attend her classes, they're that good!
If you're in San Diego, I would strongly recommend you come by and check her out. She's a really nice person, too.

Training with Carolyn overprepared me for my RKC cert. I nailed the snatch test like it was nothing. The attention to detail and simple instructions will get you swinging your kettlebell like a pro.

Carolyn was one of my assistant instructors at The RKC. Her feedback during the 3 days was so valuable. She was always there with encouragement and instruction. If you are looking to learn the RCK way, Carolyn is the person to see!

i was incredibly fortunate to have an awesome team of instructors at the rkc this past weekend, and carolyn was one of them. she's got tons of knowledge and is one of those teachers that says more w/less...she finds the cues that work for you, keeps it simple but extremely effective. she was always more than welcome to answer questions and share her knowledge and experience. i learned and grew so much over the weekend and carolyn's advice and critiques were a huge part of that growth. if you're looking for an awesome rkc i definitely recommend carolyn, no matter what your goals are w/kettlebells.

I moved cross country this past year and overnight put on 10 lbs.. That together with a sluggish metabolism caused me to seek help. After meeting with Carolyn I knew that I was in expert hands. I have trained with Carolyn in group and private sessions and she has kept me focused, committed, enthusiastic and healthy. I am 4 months away from turning 50 and when I do, thanks to Carolyn, I will be in the best shape of my life.
Carolyn has the knowledge and experience to have you perform optimally and get results. But for me it was her manner in making you feel comfortable with where you are now and developing an ongoing plan. Carolyn creates a warm enviornment at her state of the art studio that makes you feel as though you are a part of a big family. The blazing kettlebell workouts and the friendly vibe keep me coming back.
