Family and friends thought that I was a bit crazy for traveling over an hour just to work with an RKC instructor, but learning from John Scott Stevens was worth every minute of the drive. I had never touched a kettlebell before, but the thorough, clear, and detailed introduction left me wanting more of these crazy cannonball-like workout tools....and I attribute my enthusiasm to the expert instruction that I received from RKC Scott Stevens.

I don't think that I have come close to pushing myself as hard in....oh maybe 15 years. Even a hard run doesn't take me near what John Scott Stevens pushed me....and the best part was that the challenging workout was coupled with safe, easy-to-understand instruction...and it was honestly fun. He is undoubtedly an expert, and I appreciated it. I will, without question, be returning for more in the near future.

As fitness professional I am acutely aware of the dangers of unqualified and over-ambitious trainers.  I believe there is no excuse for a trainer injuring an athlete in the weight room. When it came time to find a qualified and competent trainer Scott Stevens, RKC II was a perfect fit.
 
Within a few months of enrolling my son Liam with Omaha Elite Kettlebell Scott Stevens has helped Liam improve his discuss throw by over 100 feet! In his first year throwing Liam placed 6th in the discus at nationals and 3rd place in shot put.  Scott’s training played a significant role.
 
We were so happy with the results that we recently re-enrolled for another 12-week session. Now, after five weeks of pre-season kettlebell training 3-days a week, Liam has gained 12lbs of muscle.  Not only has he gained size but it’s real functional strength!  While Liam’s previous personal best in the shot put was 43ft with the 8lbs, Scott has helped him beat last year's personal best… using the 12lb shot.  So not only is he is using a shot put that’s 50% heavier but he’s throwing it even further!!!  To say we are pleased is understatement.
 
As a fitness professional with 23 years experience (fitness director, personal trainer, fitness instructor, sports conditioning trainer and athlete) I give Scott Stevens my highest recommendation.  Scott has the right combination of philosophy, concern, knowledge and expertise to help young athletes condition their bodies safely and efficiently.  Scott is a trainer that cares about his clients as individuals and makes sure that he teaches them the principles and techniques to keep young athletes joints healthy and resilient throughout their athletic career.
 
Not only has Scott helped my son, but I’ve personally participated in two of his kettlebell workshops. I can attest first hand that he makes safety the first priority while providing an appropriately challenging, well structured and intense training experience.
 
When it comes to effective, serious and safe kettlebell training for performance and durability
Scott Stevens, RKC II and Omaha Elite Kettlebell is the obvious choice.

I have always considered myself to be in pretty good shape. Starting RKC helped take my fitness to the next level. I learned new exercises and proper techniques for old ones. I get a better work out, in a shorter amount of time. In addition, I have improved balance, flexibility, and core strength. The atmosphere in the classes is very casual and supportive. Scott is extremely knowledgable, and able to combine all facets of fitness into his programs. I highly recommend Omaha Elite Kettlebell.

The first class was very precise, helping me to get a good view of what I should be doing. The introductory class was interesting enough to keep me coming back for more, but not so much that I would be out of my league. John did well in gauging what I was ready to do. I do not live in the Omaha, NE area, but will definitely look for an instructor in my area when I return to my home.

I played football in highschool and college, I know my way around the weight room.

Within 2 weeks of training with Scott I noticed a considerable improvement in strength, form, control and stability. He's helped me to achieve safer and stronger alignment in me knees, back and shoulders during lifts. When I returned to my normal weight room routine I was effortlessly throwing the same weights around that I was using just two weeks earlier.

Scott is a very talented instructor. He manages to make sometimes complex concepts easy to understand and apply. He never gives up looking for ways to make what he is training meaningful to each and every member of his classes in spite of differences in abilities, experience, and physical limitations. Scott's insistence on safety and technique not only demonstrate his complete understanding of kettlebell movements and concepts, but have also actually improved my pace of flexibility and strength gains. It's a truly functional workout that has improved my golf game by adding an easy 30 yards to my drives and made playing out of sand traps a breeze. Scott's kettlebell classes are truly the best fitness value in the Omaha area, and would be anywhere. Local gyms are charging up to three times the rates Scott does, Scott's training is second to none in this area. If you are considering kettlebell training or a new fitness challenge that will deliver fast results you could make no bette

Scott is very informative and did a great job showing me proper form for the bells. I believe this is a good class for getting into great shape. I was in a class that was a pretty advanced set of individuals. I would have been more comfortable in a beginners class. I hope that will be a possibility in the future.

I trained with Scott for over a year. He is a great teacher who takes time to explain every aspect of kettlebell. I have 2 herniated disks in my back so I was skeptical at first but with proper instruction and focus on safety I was able to experience kettlebell without any pain. In fact my back never felt better and I was able to get in the best shape since I played football in college.I would highly recommend kettlebell and Scott as an instructor to anyone!!

I have been working with Scott for over a year now, and have lost approximately 20 pounds, and more importantly, my strength gains have been remarkable.Scott is a very gifted instructor. His teaching technique is clear, concise and straightforward. His classes are always different, well-organized and he is able to cater to all levels of ability even in a group setting. Although there can be several people to a class, I always feel as if the workout was designed solely for me. Scott?s knowledge and expertise allow him to identify each participant?s strengths and weaknesses, and he consciously helps each person work toward their individual goals.I am definitely hooked on kettlebell training thanks to Scott?and I look forward to greater strength gains and many more tough workouts to come!

I initially signed up for Kettle bell classes only because my friend wanted to try it. I was not enthusiastic at first but I am now. After less than a month I began to see changes. Even though I had participated in numerous 5 k events it wasn't until after I began the kettle bell classes that I was finally able to run the entire 5k without stopping to walk at some point. I was thrilled with my improved endurance. I also finally broke through a weight loss plateau that I had been stalled at for quite some time.
The instructor's knowledge, patience and encouragement are what make this a success for me. He ensures that I am learning and using the correct form and that I have realistic expectations of learning new skills and pace of progress.
I have worked with three different personal trainers in the past two years and this is the first time I feel like I am in competent hands with someone who believes in my goals and will help me to achieve them.
Previously I have taken spin classes, Zumba and Pilates with some positive results but I am more pleased with the whole body results and improved balance, strength and endurance I am already seeing with my kettle bell instructor.
