I had the honor of meeting Phil at my RKC workshop. When I read over the RKC code of conduct I think of Phil Ross! Phil is "the gold standard of instruction, integrity and quiet professionalism. As his "victim" or student I was treated with nothing but respect and tough love. Phil managed to bring the best out of me...and then more. I have no doubt he will do the same for YOU

Phil was my team leader at the RKC (April 2011). He was really great! He went into depths explaining and showing techniques. He gave us words of encouragement. He shared his wisdom with us. He's just a really cool guy to be around! I really appreciate all his help that weekend!

Phil was my Team Leader for the 15-17 April RKC in St. Paul, and can I just say again- best weekend ever! Thanks so much Phil, for all the time you put into our training. Very professional, very helpful, very awesome! Thanks for helping me be stronger!

There's no if's, and's or but's about it. Phil Ross is the ideal instructor for ANYONE no matter the skill level or intensity level. What's really outstanding about Mr. Ross is how personal he becomes with every individual student.He loves what he does. It's evident to anyone who watches him or participating in all the backbreaking fun.He's the all around package deal, that's hard to come by.

Phil is an amazing instructor and great person. He has a complete, realistic understanding of movement and the human body. His work outs are extremely intense and he consistently mixes them up. Aside from kettlebells, he is also an incredible martial artist and instructor. He is the real deal and a real person; he is personable with every student and goes out of his way to make sure everyone has a good time, performs correctly and achieves their goals. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants to learn martial arts, get in shape, maintain shape, excel at a physical activity or anything of the sort.

I recently attended Phil's three hour kettle bell seminar. Being a former college athlete I am always looking for new and exciting ways to train. If you are the type of person who feeds off of others intensity, than this is the place to be. No matter what your fitness or skill level you will not find a better all around workout,or better instructor. I know I'm hooked!

When we arrived at the studio I was not sure what to expect. Over the years I have found martial artists approach to fitness much different then that of a personal trainer. I walked into his American Eagle and the first item that caught my eye was the functional movement screening kit, then we were offered foam rollers. Immediately I knew I was attending a class with an instructor that has opened his mind to different training philosophies. Obviously Phil has kept up to date with all avenues of training.
Our staff had a wonderful experience. The kettle bell exercises were broken down step by step and we had the opportunity to learn proper technique. It was easy to follow however we were all challenged physically.
Phil has combined his knowledge of martial arts fitness and functional training. I highly recommend this workshop.

I knew Phil Ross by his DVD before I met him in RKC philadelphia cert in Oct. 2009. He was my team instructor in 3days. He had various and solid career of martial arts & weight lifting, it was very impressive. Also he was very courteous. I thought his courteous manners were very worthy thing that I've learned from him as his powerful movements. Learning from him was the Greatest thing in my RKC cert.

I assisted Phil at the Philly RKC. I was lucky to have him on my Team because he really knows how to motivate his students. It's important to have an instructor that is always encouraging his students to be the best they can and that is what he did.

I would recommend anyone in the Jersey area to contact Phil ASAP for training. He brings many great qualities to the table and will give you results. RKC only has the best instructors in the world and Phil is on the top of that list.

Phil is the real deal. He showed up on his own dime on a 45 degree morning for a 12 hour day. The next day was nicer with rain. He taught a short notice outdoor certification course to 28 of the best America has to offer. All are deployed at this time hunting in some of the harshest terrain and against some of the most dedicated enemies America has encountered. The average time of service is over 10 years with some nearing 20. I can speak for all of us that this was some of the best, most challenging, most useful training we have recieved. Through kettlebells we were trained in full body training, breathing techniques under stress, and the proper way to explosively move weight while incorporating endurance. One of the most important take aways was the focus in operational durability. As the number of tours mounts, a more critical decision making process is required on the battle field. America needs to retain the experience of the seasoned operator and the training that we recieved allows the operator to srenghten and rehab our bodies in austere environments. Phil exemplifies the training and theories Pavel and his training brought to our command.
