Robert is, all in all, the best teacher and trainer I have known so far. If you have the chance to work with him, take it. Great personality and always practicing what he is preaching to others (at least training-wise).

...in Deutschland.....

Dank Robert habe ich eine Menge gelernt. Das Anfängerseminar war spitzenmäßig. Nach jeder Trainingseinheit habe ich mich sehr gut gefühlt. Ich konnte meine eigene Fitness in kürzester Zeit enorm verbessern. Er achtet auf korrekte Technik und verbessert einen jedesmal, dabei schafft er es den Schüler zu motivieren auch wenn es einem noch so schwer fällt. Die Trainingsstunden machten immer Spass und das Verletzungsrisiko war gleich "0" - dank Robert.

I'm am American business traveler and travel 80% on the road. I had the privilege and honor to train with one of the best., Robert in February this year. Robert was honest and demanding. He immediately pointed out my weakness and provided corrections. His classes were very challenging and demanding. The depth of his skill and knowledge is evident from training beginners and advanced students. The mental focus he has along with his physical abilities allow him to get the best not only out of himself but his students too. I could only wish I could be a part of his training on a regular basis. If you are serious about learning about kettlebells and want the absolute best training, you MUST spend time with Robert. Even if you must travel an hour or more. DO IT. In one training session he even paraphrased a quote from President Kennedy...."we do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard"..Hardstyle Baby.. Challenge yourself.

Dear Kettlebellers,

I took the basic kettlebell course with Robert in March/ April 2011 and was quite sceptic at first. I made my way through the Functional Movement Screening and not being a movement spastic, but primarily sportive, I just achieved the score of 9 out of 21, accompanied by heavy imbalance scores throughout my body. The weekst score in the course!
In about 8 weeks of training (2-4 hours per week), where Robert, with his unique style of teaching and setting up workouts, tought me basic principles and methods of kettlebell training, I felt the improvement from day to day. My FMS score at the end went to 15 ! Burpee test from 27 to 36 and improvments everywhere else (gym, daily life, back pain vanished, more flexibility. I want to recommend Robert as a trainer as I have never seen such improvements in my life before! No criticism here at all, but hints

I took 5 personal lessons with Robert, including the FMS test.
He taught me the KB swing (one-arm and two-arm), turkish getup, clean, mil press, snatch, and a number of other exercises, some with my own bodyweight like correct push-ups etc.
Robert has a very good eye for how people move biomechanically, and can correct very small mistakes, so that the technique is perfect. He explains very well what I have to do, so that I can correct mistakes.
I have had many trainers in different sports, he has a good mix between being demanding but sensing when the student doesn't have anything left to give.
He also has very good theoretical knowledge, and can explain it in a way that I can take it home with me, and use it for myself.
He has a true passion for the sport, and for being a trainer - you can't ask for anything more.
In less than 6 wks. I've gone from hardly being able to do the turkish getup without a KB, to doing it with a 20kg KB, the same goes for all the other basic KB exercises

weiter als Anfänger in eine Gruppe gehen zu können. Die Exaktheit die Robert beim zeigen der Übungen gezeigt hat hat mich beeindruckt- kein Wischi-Waschi.........Meine Schulterschmerzen waren übringens nach 3 Wochen völlig verschwunden.
Kettlebell war das Beste was ich ausprobiert habe, da es die Koordination , die Konzentration und die Beweglichkeit enorm fördert- alles Schwachpunkte bei mir! Robert hat Achtung vor seinen Schülern - und ich hatte großen Respekt vor ihm. DANKE ROBERT!

Ich bin trotz Schulterschmerzen in den Anfängerkurs bei Robert gegangen. Ich kannte Kettlebell aus einem Informationsabend bei einem anderen Trainer. Mir hat bei dem Training mit Robert am besten gefallen, dass er nicht viel Aufhebens um seine eigene Person macht sondern sich intensiv damit auseinander setzt dass jeder Schüler im Kurs den richtigen Bewegungsablauf lernt- und wenn er zum zehntenmal die Fehler anspricht und korrigiert fasst man das nicht als ungerechfertigte Kritik auf sondern als Unterstützung sich zu verbessern. Robert vermittelte mir ausserdem einfach den Spaß am Hardstyletraining und ich war froh nicht in einem Fitnessstudio so ein halbherziges Training angeboten zu bekommen. Einziges Manko- speziell in meinem Fall- ich habe mich nicht so steigern können dass ich perfekt alleine zuhause trainieren kann, ich werde aber den Anfängerkurs nochmal wiederholen um dann auch in den Kettlebellclub gehen zu können. Mich würde es freuen wenn es ein durchgehendes Angebot geben

Ich fang mal mit dem wichtigsten an: Ich kann jedem den Workshop und natuerlich auch Training bei Robert empfehlen.
Die methodische Herangehensweise an die einzelnen Uebungen war sehr gut. Robert hat jede Uebung in die wichtigsten Einzelteile zerlegt und diese fuer sich ueben lassen, bevor er aus dem Puzzle ein ganzes gemacht hat und am Ende die Gesamtbewegung ausgefuehrt wurde.
Dank verschiedener Hinweise, Kniffe und Zwischenuebungen fiel es nicht schwer auch auf die Details zu achten.

Fuer mich steht fest, dass ich dranbleiben und weitere Seminare bei Robert besuchen werde.
Noch ein Hinweis am Ende: Ich selbst komme aus dem Shotokan-Karate und bin der festen Ueberzeugung, dass sich die Art und Weise, wie Robert die Techniken ausfuehren laesst (Ganzkoerperspannung, dynasmischer Huefteinsatz, Power Breathing etc.) sehr gut auf das Karatetraining uebertragen laesst.

He knows how fix student's weak points. I was very impressed that.
Especially, I appreciate that I learned from him how works Pavel's loaded stretching. As I came back to Seoul, I taught my clients by his teaching skills.
If you live in Munich (or in Germany), you are very lucky. (Only a few days ago, I went to Munich) because It is a most beautiful city and you can contact him, Robert Rimoczi, best RKC!!!

I was looking for a way how to improve my fitness and by accident i ran into kettlebell and thought of trying it! i couldn t believe the result. Robert, my instructor, tought me the basic excersises and did an amazing job in pushing me to my physical limits. Within 2 month i was able to improve my endurance by just over 20%. I didn't believe the result!
I can only encourage anyone who wants to see big improvement in strenght and endurance in trying this sport and this way of training with this increadible instructor...

thanx so much Robert, you did amazing, keep it up!

Habe den Anfaengerkurs bei Robert gemacht. Anfangs war ich recht skeptisch, ob das fuer mich (53 J) das Richtige ist. Aber Robert hat mit seinem guten Blick und der individuellen Ansprache eine ueberzeugende Arbeit geleistet. Schon nach wenigen Trainingseinheiten fuehle ich mich koerperlich deutlich leistungsfaehiger und gesuender.
Vielen Dank & ich mache weiter!

Ich habe schon eine ganze Menge vorher ueber das Training mit Kettlebells gehoert, hatte aber noch nie die Gelegenheit mir selber ein Bild zu machen. Fuer mich war wichtig, dass sich meine Kondition, Kraftausdauer und meine Beweglichkeit fuer mein Muay Thai Training verbessern. Durch das Training beim Robert ist das innerhalb von 4 Wochen deutlich besser geworden (haette ich nicht gedacht, dass es so schnell geht). Nachdem ich mich durch die ersten zwei Wochen mit Muskelkater gequaelt habe, hat sich Schlagkraft und Kondition ordentlich gesteigert. Von der Rumpfstabilitaet ganz zu schweigen (hat sich besonders beim Chlinchen gezeigt). Trainig beim Robert ist immer anstrengend und man verliert mindestens geschaetzte 8 Millionen Schweiss aus saemtlichen verhandenen Poren. Dabei er verliert nie seinen Humor und seine Uebersicht (er korrigiert Technikfehler auch am Ende der Stunde mit einer Engelsgeduld). Es wird immer Ruecksicht auf den koerperlichen Zustand genommen. Ist auch schon mal vorgekommen, dass wir nur aktive koerperliche Regeneration gemacht haben, weil die versammelte Mannschaft ueber Muskelkater gejammert hat. Also wer schnellst moeglich fit werden moechte und sich nicht vor harter Arbei scheut, sollte mal vorbei schauen.
Es lohnt sich!!!

As an martial artist for many years I considered myself to be in very good shape. When I met Robert and he told me about kettlebells I was only mildly interested, but wanted to give it a try- what an live changing experiance! For something about one year I am training now with Robert and the kettlebells. I advanced from my beginners weight of 12 kg to 24 kg. Even my Teak Won Do training improved considerably because of this perfect conditioning tool.
Robert is a very demanding trainier - he gets everyting out of you and propels you into the next dimention of fitness. His profound knowledge makes a real difference.
Thank you Robert.

Robert has been my trainer since over a half a year now and even though we are doing our training two times a week I'm so surprised on how much new knowledge, techniques and different exercises I learn every lesson. He is very enthusiastic about Kettlebell training and functional fitness and as he is in an excellent physical shape you can see he knows what he is talking about.

At first Robert documented my physical status with a functional movement screening and physical fitness test. After I a period of training I repeat the tests and therefore it's not only that I have the impression that my mobility, strength and endurance have made a great progress it really can be measured! I got to know a huge variety of different Kettlebell exercises, also exercises which can be performed without weights and a lot of great work-outs. Robert explains and demonstrates everything in great detail: the movements, the breathing and muscle contractions. The work-outs are hard style but fun!

Thanks to Robert I'm now also addicted to Kettlebell training and I can highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get in shape, boost his / her performance to a higher level and be trained by a true professional.

Vor kurzem hatte ich Trainerstunden bei Robert:er ueberzeugte mich durch sein gutes Auge,seine gezielten und effektiven Techniktipps und seinen guten,zuverlaessigen Rundum-Service(siehe Homepage).Die Trainingseinheiten waren fuer mich sehr gewinnbringend und verbesserten sowohl meine Technik als auch meine Trainingseinheiten.
Ich kann Robert jedem,der sich fuer ein effektives,technisch sauberes und sicheres Kettlebelltraining interessiert nur sehr empfehlen.

I recently had a private session with Robert because I wanted to refine my basic kettlebell movements with the intention of progressing with Enter The Kettlebell' (Pavel's excellent entry level kettlebell book and DVD) safely and productively. I live in Ramstein, Germany, (I only speak English) and there aren't any certified instructors in the immediate area. Robert fit me in for an afternoon session while I was on the road for work, passing through Munich and staying overnight at a hotel there.

I had read countless articles in addition to reading Enter The Kettlebell', and thought I had a pretty good handle on things WRONG! No amount of reading or online video watching compares to a single session with a good instructor like Robert! In my opinion, personal instruction should be the very first step in kettlebell training for anyone. I'm grateful that I was able to work a session in with Robert before I had a chance to hurt myself or further engrain the bad techniques I had developed working only with articles, books, and videos for two months.

The session was very thorough and covered everything I wanted and more. I had several technique flaws that needed work, and as a bonus Robert verified that I'm physically able to functionally perform the moves safely as well with a series of functional screening exercises (I sleep better now!). I left with a good understanding of how to do the moves for Enter the Kettlebell' as well as other things that he recommends for general health and fitness. Nothing compares with one on one training for kettlebell fitness, and Robert is a true and dedicated professional who is passionate about helping people and spreading his knowledge and experience. After having significant errors in my technique corrected and proper technique not only demonstrated but performed myself and confirmed in person, I feel safe and confident taking my kettlebell training to the next level! I highly recommend Robert to anyone intending to pick up a kettlebell for the first, 100th, or 100,000th time.
