Mark was an assistant instructor at my RKC certification class in April of this year. He was filled with helpful information that helped me with the fine points of my techniques during the 3 day class. He is very approachable and the way he delivers the information makes it easy to learn. Mark should definetly be a part of your KB training. You will learn from this experienced instructor and have fun doing it in the process.

I started working with K.B.s near the end of my deployment,upon returning home i dicovered that there was an actual R.K.C. in reno, i've been working with Mark evern since and i'm still getting stronger,i learned alot of bad habits in Iraq because i was taught by some one who didn't know what they were doing, Mark was able to fix my techniques very quikly, his teaching style is very easy follow, and unlike some trainers his critisim is always more helpful than demeaning and he is not affraid to demonstrate. for anyone who is considering entering the kettle bell worl i highly suggest starting with a genuine R.K.C. its safer faster and more motivating when you can see your self getting stronger. these guys realy know thier stuff.

I came to Mark with no kettlebell experience and very little free weights. Mark clearly explains what is expected and always follows with a demonstration. What's more his critiques our focused and nondemeaning allowing one to develop quickly. As a novice I have trouble with some of the moves and Mark always adapts the days work out accordingly and gives appropriate homework to improve the weak areas. That being said he always works to push you to a point where you can see growth. In just a few months I've noticed improved strength, stamina and tone.

I met Mark at the Reno training he coordinated for Pavel in late August of this year. Today,09/12/07 he traveled out to Elko(over 275 miles) to do a Kettlebell demonstration for Great Basin Instructors and students. He is extremely knowledgeable about teaching the correct techniques in the lifting of Kettlebells and is patient in always demonstrating the correct techniques. He is a great role model in teaching and demonstrating Kettlebells for anyone taking his class. I am glad I met Mark and had the opportunity to learn more about kettlebells...I am planning on adding a Kettlebell class to the Physical Education curriculum at the Great Basin College.

I just recently had the pleasure of training with Mark at my place of business. He was gracious enough to spend some time with me as I prepare to take on the Iron Maiden Challenge. I told him that the press and the pistol will be the most challenging of the 3 disciplines for me to accomplish. His expertise in strength conditioning and drills far and above surpassed my expectations. I feel fully confident that his exercise prescription will allow me to reach my goal.

I had the privilege of being trained by Mark as I work towards my HKC certification. I'm fairly new and Mark was very patient, while explaining every move with precision and in a way that was very easy for me to grasp and utilize. I believe I have really improved in both my physical ability and knowledge thanks to Mark's excellent training.

I had the honor of taking a RKC instructor certification course this past April 2011 and Mark Toomey was my groups Team Leader.
His prodigious leadership, keen eye, amazing physical strength and great concern for all of his students was astounding!

Our groups direction under Marks watchful reign gave us all hope, clarity and offered us a clear path for those who wanted to work for it.

It hard to put into words what defines and explains who and what Mark Toomey is , but a cut above all says it best.

His compassion , his tremendous knowledge and his vested interest in all of his students
to learn makes him one of the greatest individuals and teachers i have ever been taught by.

PS : His story telling is great!!

Mark Toomey is a man who has strength and smarts all in one. He is man who can watch your movement pattern and help to correct it to make you strong and powerful. Mark reflects the true definition of being an RKC. He will share all the knowledge he has to help make you better in life and training. His experience allows him to have several different methods to connect with clients and RKC candidates.
Every conversation I have with Mark throughout the RKC weekend and since forward has left me walking away with something new learned. I enjoy both training with him and also learning from him in all aspect of strength and movement.
Spend some time with Mark Toomey and you will walk away with more strength and smarts!

Spent an hour with Mark today and it was incredible. Been using KB's for about a year now and dealing with some technique issues that are causing some hip

I was aware of Mark at the CK-FMS in 2010 May. I did not get to meet him until the Marketing Mastermind in 2011 Feb. I had the opportunity to talk with him about training techniques at the 2011April/May RKC where he was a Team Leader and I was an assistant. Each time I was impressed with Mark's depth of passion for kettlebell training. Equally so is his desire to make sure that each and every student gets what they need to be successfull. Mark is very knowledgable in regards to training and it's effects on the body. He is very approachable and always has a smile on his face. He talks in a way that is easy to understand. I have no doubts that he is comfortable training anyone, as I would expect from a a professional.
