10/10 Can't find the right words

Paul is an amazing instructor. It is hard to put into words. His knowledge of body mechanics is apparent every time he works with you. My 6 months of kettlebell training has changed my body in amazing ways. Paul knows the right way to push you and exactly when you are ready for that push. He can teach a class of beginners and expects at the same time with ease. Paul is interested in you as a total person and will invest his time to help you with your fitness and life journey. Paul has a knack for knowing the time to ask the questions that need to be asked without making you feel bad. I am thrilled I was introduced to Paul and RKC.
10/10 Incredible Instructor

I was lucky enough to be on Team Daniels during the CA RKC. First of all - Paul is an amazing example - he is graceful and powerful and makes everything I saw him do with a bell look easy. He is quiet but clear in his instruction and he makes you feel relaxed and confident when trying new skills. My snatches and cleans went to a whole new level (along with everything else, actually) and I left certification with much more knowledge and motivation to continue to learn than ever. If you are lucky enough to live anywhere near Paul get in to see him. You won't be sorry.
10/10 Here's my story and I'm sticking to it!

In January 2010, my company embarked on a huge mission: to change the culture of the organization regarding food and nutrition. Long story short, I signed up for our "Biggest Loser" competition, lasting 14 weeks. It was easy to lose the first 5 pounds by cutting out dessert and eating a little better. Then I started walking a few days a week and eventually was "running stairs" when I could. As a single mom with two school-aged kids, finding time to exercise was impossible. Around week 7 or 8, I started to plateau and was only losing a few ounces a week. This was the same time that I met Paul. He offered to train me on Kettlebells while my daughter was taking gymnastics lessons. PERFECT. The changes it made to my body were immediate and noticeable. I gained strength, toned my arms, flattened my stomach, and after 14 weeks, won 2nd place in the competition. It's now 3 months later...I'm still taking Kettlebell and kickboxing with Paul, I've run three 5K races in 30 minutes, and started training for a half marathon. With Paul's help over the next 5 months, I know I'll cross the finish line at the half marathon. Kettlebells take up no space in your house and you can do them in front of your TV, getting a full cardio and muscle-building workout in 40 minutes. Thanks Paul for all your help. I'm 44 and have a new outlook on fitness and my health, for life.
10/10 Awesome kettlebell instructor

I have been working out with Kb's for a while now and wanted to take Paul's class to make sure I was doing the moves correctly. I found that I wasn't. He was able to break down the Turkish get up in a way I have not seen. Now I am doing them much better. Trying to perfect them each time. I didn't think I was capable of a goblet squat and was sure he wouldn't be able to help me do them. I am so excited! I am working on this move and have never been able to put my knees through a full range of motion "pain free". Can't wait for his next workshop!

Paul Daniels is and excellent instructor. He is very focused & serious about kettlebell training. I gained a much better understanding of how to utilize the kettlebell properly, and got pretty smoked in the process. Paul seems to have a vast amount of knowledge tat pertains to fitness and kettlebell training.
10/10 KB Master

Paul is an excellent instructor who pushes you to believe in yourself and make it happen. I learned how strong my body can actually be. Instead of easily giving up on something difficult, he encouraged me to fight until I could achieve what I deemed impossible. I learned so much about myself while doing this camp. Thanks Paul!
10/10 Superior Instructor = Superior Workout
By Cindy Ward
/ Mission Viejo, CA
I have worked out religiously at the gym 6 or 7 days a week for years. I thought I was in shape until I went to my first kettlebell class. Wow - what a difference. Even though I was new, Paul took time to instruct me and was also very encouraging along the way. Today I feel stronger and more fit than I ever have. Not only that, but the workouts are new and different every time - not boring or monotonous. I look forward to each class and greatly appreciate what I have learned from Paul. He doesn't just tell you what to do, he tells you how to do it, why it is good and what you can achieve. He's the best!
10/10 Great Experince
By Tony Anthony

My experience with Paul was very good. He is very supportive and knows how to balance fun with hard work. If it wasn't for the logistics I would still be there. One thing I picked up on when I arrived was the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I could tell that Paul's students were close to him and that it wasn't just a business arrangement. Also, Paul has a very good over all knowledge about fitness, safety and anatomy. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone. Here is something that illustrates Paul's supportive nature. Even though I am now training closer to home Paul told me to contact him anytime if I have any questions. To me that is the mark of a good person. It's not just about the cash.
10/10 Understated Excellence
By Greg Premo RKC
/ Underhill, VT
I had the priviledge to be an assistant instructor at the recent April RKC with Paul Daniels. As a long time martial artist I could see and sense in Paul an exceptional practitioner that brought to mind the Japanese term "shibumi." This has definitely influenced his kettlebell instruction by his depth of knowledge, an experienced eye for the subtle and not so subtle improvements and corrections that the students needed, and his easy demeanor that calmed and sustained them enduring their RKC weekend. As I said it was a priviledge to work with Paul as he is a shining example as an RKC Team Leader and a great asset to the RKC community. Thank you sensei, and Go Team Daniels!

Paul seems to glide silently to whoever needs help just when they need it and just how they need it. His claim mannerisms and speech helped focus everybody. His laughter kept the extreme fatigue and exhaustion at bay. Paul really helped me to learn a lot. Thanks Paul!
