After working with Frank for 6 months my wife and I are in the best shape of our lives. I'm in my mid-40s, and when we started with Frank I hadn't trained seriously for 10 years.

Frank takes the time to train on the fundamentals, with real attention to the detail of technique, so that we maximize our workouts. Under Frank's coaching I've realized substantial gains in strength and cardiovascular endurance, I've leaned out and I am more flexible than ever.

Frank is passionate not only about Kettlebells but also about helping his students achieve success. Frank is an outstanding coach in every respect, and I recommend him without qualification.

I've been training with Frank for two years and highly recommend him and kettlebells for women. The combination of his impressive knowledge of kettlebell workouts and techniques, his personal skill with them, his teaching skills, and his long-time involvement with sports, fitness and training make him an outstanding instructor.

Frank is a skilled fitness trainer with a 6th sense for knowing my capabilities and limits. He knows how far to push because it's needed, and when to say stop. He has a remarkable eye for correct form and any deviations from it, and can fine-tune it. His systematic introduction of new exercises makes both my training sessions with him and my personal workouts challenging, interesting and physically rewarding. The personal training I receive from Frank makes a big difference in my performance.

When I began training with him two years ago I was recuperating from hypothyroidism that went undiagnosed for way too long. That meant that my muscles had turned to "mush," I had no endurance and I'd gained weight. I had been working on these problems, but results were slow in coming. That changed rapidly once I started kettlebell training with Frank. With his help and understanding of where I was starting from, I've built core and all-over muscle strength, improved my cardiovascular endurance, agility and coordination, and lost weight. I feel great and am in better shape than I've ever been in, and I owe it to kettlebells and Frank. He's a great trainer and I highly recommend him!

I am in my early 60's and have been interested in fitness and training for 25+ years. My weight training has been pretty consistent and was primarily free weights using the big compound exercises (squat, dead lift, bench press). Although interested in fitness, my wife is lucky if she can make it to the gym twice a week.

Frank gave a talk to the Wellness Committee at our company about kettlebell training some months ago. My wife and I were looking for something to do together, and we decided to train with Frank. My wife and I were at different levels of strength and fitness, but we were both beginners. Frank has been able to make each session challenging for her and for me, giving us each plenty to work on, and we always leave each session feeling energized and eager for our next session.

When we decided to buy kettlebells to use at home, Frank helped each of us choose the best weight, and advised us what exercises we could safely do at home and which ones we should do only when training with him to spot us. He constantly stresses safety, which has given us more confidence when working out at home.

Frank is a great instructor. His passion for the benefits of kettlebell training and his expertise in fitness and strength training generally make working with him a terrific experience for both of us. Frank never watches the clock. Even after only several months of training, my wife and I are each stronger, note positive changes in our bodies, and remain enthusiastic to continue our kettlebell training with Frank. Top marks all around for Frank!

Courage Corner is not only the firehouse where we work, but it's also the training area where Frank instructed all of us in Russian Kettlebell use. He developed specific workouts for each of us and instructed us in the safe and effective use of kettlebells.

Thanks to Frank, I've noticed immense gains in strength, flexibility and overall fitness. Thanks to "The Coach", I'm in the best shape of my life and still enjoying Russian Kettlebells.
