Kettlebells are the physical training tool of choice for Navy Seals, Delta Special Forces, US Secret Service, the NFL, and the NCAA. Learn the hottest functional training method in the fitness industry today from brother firefighters who are also RKC certified instructors. Hard style is not for everybody, but it is perfect for firefighters. Our goal is to share what we have learned and help you become stronger.

The life we save may be our own. Instructors are donating their time; all proceeds will be donated to charities that benefit firefighters or help kids stay fit.

Our first seminar held on February 7 and 8 in Bridgeport CT was a tremendous success. Check back for information about future training opportunities and competitions.

Only a few spots left - call or email to confirm availability.

Thanks to all who have registered for our seminar on February 7 and 8 at Connecticut Tank, located at 118 Burr Court in Bridgeport, CT. You will be joining brothers from around Connecticut and around the country in a journey of self discovery that will change your life. Like fire fighters, kettlebell lifters or "Gireviks" share a special bond. Welcome to our world. Prepare to forget everything you have learned about weight lifting. Kettlebell training is more like a martial art than a strength training program. We learn from the inside out - the breathing and the movement pattern defines the performance. Our goal is stability, flexibility, symmetry, and functional strength. The days of bigger, faster, and stronger are over. Durability and functional movement is our goal. Work twice as hard for twice as long and be able to go home after your shift, sleep well, and get up and do it again. Sound crazy? Not really. The IAFF/IAFC Joint Wellness Initiative was based on the concept of living well, living long, and living strong. The 30/30 concept – work for 30 years, retire healthy and enjoy life for another 30 years. To live well we need to live right, take care of the machine, and train smart. Nothing good comes easy, KB training is no exception. You will train hard, but with our help you will train smart. Regardless of your current level of conditioning you will leave with more than you came. Nothing will be wasted, especially your valuable time.

Looking forward to meeting with you on the 7th. Please arrive early – registration and equipment will be issued at 0800. If you have any injuries or medical conditions TELL US!!! On the job the most important thing we do is to keep our men safe. NO BODY GETS HURT; EVERYBODY GOES HOME AT THE END OF THE SHIFT. Same deal here. Remember - if it hurts then STOP, the days of NO PAIN NO GAIN are over. Give us the chance to earn your respect. Anybody fool can cause pain – great instructors can work around the pain. We will change the movement to accommodate your limitations. You are where you are. Our job is to help take you where you want to go.

Stay Safe,

George Gomola RKC
