Worth every penny!!
Rated 10 out of 10
I drove my family 2 1/2 hours to Steve's workshop. We came away with a true sense of the power of KB training and all it's benefits. Steve is absolutely wonderful with a great attitude. I highly recommend anyone to Steve even if you have to drive 2 1/2 hours to get there.
Thanks Steve. I look forward in staying in touch.

Excellent workout!
Rated 10 out of 10
Steves kettlebell workshop was extremely helpful. It showed me that I am not using the muscles I need to when working out. These exercises are very easy to do but give great results. They seem to target exactly where I want to work. The four minute cardio workout during the workshop felt like I ran 2 miles. I looked around the room at the athletes in the class pouring sweat. I do this little workout in the morning before work then again when I get home to help burn fat, then follow the other exercises to tone up.
The nice thing about kettlebells are that I can see and feel results right away. Being female, I do not want muscles, just toned and this is exactly what I am looking for. Steve is not pushy but helpful and very patient. He works with clients on different athletic levels but caters to each one of us. Nice work, Steve!

Above and beyond what I hoped for!!

I went to a basic course hoping to polish a few things and ask for help on my bent press. Steve quickly pointed out my stance on the bp was narrow and showed me how to get under the kb better. Good by shakey bp, hello beast! He is a great rkc and has an eye for detail. I'm glad I went to him and you will too!!

Awsome Instruction
Rated 10 out of 10
Steve has inspired me to go full on in kettlebells. He has taken a great deal of time to show me speciffic drills, and always demonstrates proper form. I am currently working through Art of Strength ETK workbook, and have found Steve's instruction invaluable.
I am on week 10 of the RKC right of passage. I have been lifting weights for over ten years, and am now if the best shape of my life.
I would reccomend Steve to anyone in central Illinois, who wants to achieve complete fitness and strengh, through kettlebell training.

excellent instruction
Rated 10 out of 10
i had the opportunity to train with steve at his gym one month ago. i have trained with kettlebells for over three years without rkc instruction. i thought i had the drills down "pat" but soon found that not to be true.
steve was able to explain things regarding the simplest exercises that literally changed things immediately for me. simple nuances made a huge difference and it echoed what i've heard pavel say many times on the forum.
training with steve has inspired me to continue training with him on a steady basis and also to prepare for certification myself. i can't describe enough the importance of being trained by someone that has been "pavelized". steve gould is one who not only understands the technique accurately but can pass the knowledge on to others.
