Intro To Kettlebells, Private and Travel Workshop
Scheduled at your convenience and/or location
We'll work one-on-one, with all attention devoted to you learning proper technique in the critical lifts. You're shown perfect form with Swing, Clean, Jerk, Snatch, and Long Cycle. As an experienced coach and instructor, someone who's worked right alongside Valery Fedorenko, I have the expertise you need. Come take advantage of this chance to learn the One True Way, as we've been dubbed, of Kettlebell Lifting. I can host the mini workshop at my gym, or travel to your location, and supply the kettlebells. This is one of the easiest, most direct way to learn, enabling you to attend my upcoming group classes and work at higher levels.

Group Fitness Class
Whether this is your first experience with Kettlebells, or you've been around the bells for a while, the group fitness class will show you how to get a great kettlebell workout in under 45 minutes. Some basic skills are developed in the first few minutes of the class, and it's advised you take at least one workshop prior to attending, then get ready to workout. Group class package deals include an initial workshop on technique at no extra cost.
Weight loss, muscle toning, and joint mobility are addressed with this pure fitness approach, utilizing the lightest kettlebells (weight starts at 18 lbs). These high rep workouts get big results, and all you need to do is show up and basic technique. Kettlebell Group Fitness Classes will soon be held on Long Island and New York City. Please stand by for announcement of the next location and date. In the meantime, the private mini workshop will teach you how to workout on your own, as well as prepare for a higher level of training.
Private and Travel workshops are scheduled at your convenience. Price is per person attending. Email for scheduling options. All locations are subject to approval prior to booking. michael.stefano@gmail.com
KETTLEBELLS IN THE USA
Kettlebells are exploding on the scene here in the United States. All around the country people are picking up metal balls with handles and getting results. The American Kettlebell Club has trained over 400 coaches since January 2007. As one of the club's advisors, I was in that first class, and have been there all along the way. It's been an honor to coach side by side with the head coach Valery Fedorenko. To put Valery's abilities in perspective, he's been compared to the Michael Jordan of kettlebells. You can see in this video, he's clearly earned that right.
Over the past year and a half the AKC brand of kettlebell lifting is being embraced by thousands, but for only one simple reason. RESULTS! In my training of dozens of clients personally, I've witnessed unprecedented results. From Ashley Hughes making Master of Sport, to Joe doing 20-minute sets, to Anthony losing 70 lbs. If you do the work, results are always there. The brand new fitness plan makes this program available to almost everybody.
Kettlebell training works at many, many levels. For the advanced athlete who needs extreme strength, endurance, explosive power, and everything else necessary to excel in today's athletic arena including mental fortitude, I offer a hard-core strength / conditioning approach to kettlebells. Once you learn to spearhead your training DIRECTLY at your goals, progress accelerates.
For the fitness enthusiast, or anybody that needs to drop a few pounds and just get healthier, or buff up, it doesn't get any better than kettlebell training. Our fitness system backs off on some of the traditional intensity necessary to build extreme strength / endurance, but keeps it high enough to sculpt, tone, fry the fat right off your body, while you build cardiovascular health and fitness.
Firefighters fall someplace between advanced athletes and pure fitness. Kettlebells come to the rescue here by splitting the difference, recreating the intensity of fire operations, without the extensive workouts associated with pure sport or any elaborate equipment requirement. A win-win-win situation.
A LITTLE HISTORY ON KETTLEBELLS
Kettlebell Lifting, as a sport and physical conditioning system, can be traced back over 100 years to Czarist Russia (>>HISTORY OF KB'S). Today, the same methodology that was perfected by thousands of kettlebell athletes and coaches over decades of training, has finally made it to America. Kettlebells, as a fitness system, is unsurpassed for exploding strength and endurance, frying body fat, carving out lean hard muscle, restoring joint mobility, and the list goes on!
Disgusted with the flood of mis-information on kettlebell lifting in the US, Valery formed the AKC, dedicated to the training of coaches that could go out and deliver this unparalleled training modality to all that dared to use it. My one-on-one training, as well as kettlebell workshops, are all AKC based, and in strict adherence with Fedorenko methodology.
"Mike Stefano is an experienced Trainer who has helped Firefighters, Law Enforcement and civilians get in shape with his well planned programs. We have no problems endorsing him fully."
