10/10 Thayne KNOWS Kettlebells
 
By Martha M. / Riverview, USA

I was introduced to Thayne a few months ago by a friend that had joined his Hit KB Fit gym. I first learned about kettlebells approximately 5 years ago. I read several books and viewed instructional videos. I always was unsure if my technique was correct so I gave it up.

Since I have been going to Thayne's classes he has reopened my eyes to the world of kettlebells as well as using lots of other gym equipment. Thayne has been very patient and encouraging. I am excited to learn as much as I can about the kettlebells from Thayne. He has completely improven my kettlebell swing technique. I look forward to learning new kettlebell exercises with Thayne's guidance.

I have belonged to many gyms and received personal training from several trainers. I have exercised my entire life. Thayne's workouts by far surpass any of my workouts in my past! He continually is added new challenges to each day of training. I traditionally get bored easily with workouts. I really enjoy the variety of his workouts and the different equipment we use. I definitely leave the gym feeling I have had a full body workout.

Thayne is an incredible motivator and very knowledgeable. He is constantly encouraging us and pushing us to our best. I am looking forward to continuing my new journey with Thayne at the Hit KB Fit gym!

 
10/10 Done with the gym
 
By Dan Hart / Tampa, USA

I have been going to a gym since about 1996. As with most people I did go through stints where I stopped lifting; reasons ranged from sheer boredom to shoulder/back/hip injuries. Form was always important to me, but injuries still happened. I have known Thayne for about 15 years and was interested in trying out his classes for the last year, and finally pulled the trigger. This decision was long overdue with frustration from lack of overall fitness as well as limited results from my normal 4-5 day gym routine. The classes are like nothing I have ever taken on before. Thayne focuses on total body fitness and strength through ever-changing routines and positive reinforcement. I have had noticeable improvements in fitness as well as strengthening former injury plagued areas. The simple fact is that I have been attending only a short time and am fully convinced it was the best decision I have ever made for my health.

I came to Thayne because I needed to lose weight in order to join the military. In just one month he got me down to weight standards. I lost 13 lbs. His workouts aren't like any ordinary workout in a regular gym. Thayne provides intense workouts and will work with you to make sure you have a proper form. If you want to lose weight and can't keep a normal gym routine then head over to HITKBFIT, Thayne will get your weight down!

 
10/10 Team Leader Material
 
By Mark Hofman / Albuquerque, United States of America

I attended the RKC cert in April of 2011 and was a member of team Rippetoe, this is where I met Thayne Shatah. Thayne was an assistant on my team. I can't say enough good things about the guy. He help to make the whole weekend a success for me and just a great time. His enthusiasm and passion for kettlebells was infectious. He is an amazing motivator and works well with people. His knowledge of the kettlebells movements and his ability to transfer that into teaching the movements was top notch. It is also pretty obvious that he practices what he preaches and that is something that I love and respect about him and the whole kettlebell community. I have also gotten to know Thayne on a personal level the last few months and he seems to be a very good guy who really cares about the success of his clients. All in all I believe Thayne has all the knowledge and qualities of a future Team Leader. Thanks again for all of your help Thayne.

 
10/10 Thayne - Is The Real Deal!
 
By Brandon Page / Sarasota, USA

Thayne Shatah is the real deal. Not only is he experience and very knowledgeable in Kettle-bell trainging the man is more than a talker - he practices what he preaches.  Over the past 15 years I have tried and implemented every new style of high intensity style weight training or exercise I could find to refine my physique and improve my physical performance for competitive sports, bodybuilding, crossfit, and men's physique compititions.  Some programs promise  and countless "Personal Trainers" talk a good game but in my experince most trainers with the next big "fitness training  breakthrough" could not endure 15 min of one of Thanyes standard HIT Kettle-bell  workouts. I am in elite physical conditioning right now just 2 days before the 2011 Southeastern USA in Orlando FL where this year I will be competing in Mens Physique. I trained with Thayne on Monday to kick off my 3 depletion before the show and at my request he pushed me through one of the best full body "Warrior" workouts I have ever endured. It was about 45 minutes of pure High Intensity angry thunder that left my body trembeling and my lungs burning for a full 2 hrs after we got done!  It was sick and Thayne really pushed me to my physical and mental limits with out trying to break me like some incompetent trainers seem to take joy in doing. I will also add this: Thayne is a good teacher and communicator. He is confident but not arrogant, he is brutally strong but not a meat head.  I really like the way he encouraged and genuinely "Coached" me through the process of each training session. He made the workout about me and my improvement and not his ego. Kudos to Thayne of HIT KB FIT - he is the real deal.
