MKC Kettlebell Certification
IN STEVE MAXWELL'S, MAXBELLS FOUNDER, OWN WORDS: "More than nine years ago, long before RKC certifications--and before anyone had ever heard of Pavel Tsatsouline or Valery Federenko--I was busy experimenting with a crude pair of homemade kettlebells at Maxercise in Philadelphia. I was on the ground floor of Pavel's first certification in St. Paul MN where I introduced many of the movements and concepts now a part of the RKC curriculum. I was the first person to be asked to be a Senior instructor and of the cadre, I was the only full-time professional teacher and trainer. My personal training gym, Maxercise, was the first kettlebell gym in modern times, and the first one to specialize in kettlebell classes. I had a huge advantage over others in the field because I was able to guinea pig my own clients and experiment with them to test out my theories. I learned through trial and error (the best way) how to train large groups of health and fitness seekers with kettlebells. Another advantage: I was trained as a teacher of physical education and had years of coaching and teaching experience behind me. I'm now leading my own teacher-training certifications. By now, I've distinguished myself as the best man for the job. There aren't too many things I haven't tried with a kettlebell! And I'm prepared to show the health-fitness-and-truth-seeker everything I've learned along the way. If you really want to learn from someone who's been out there in the trenches and taught people from every walk of life, you're going to get the best return on your dollar from training with Steve Maxwell." John Disimone, who played a vital role in cofounding the MKC certifications, now owns Maxercise, and was Steve's first "guinea pig" in his early days of experimentation. Together, they've seen it all, tried it all, picked the best, and created the only comprehensive guide for teaching kettlebells in a class setting. WHAT YOU GAIN Maxbell certification participants can expect a grueling, in-depth day of training that tests their current skills and instructs them on techniques they've probably never seen or tried. Even the most experienced kettlebell user will undoubtedly find their form bettered on every exercise, additionally learning the reasons behind the movements being performed. What really sets Maxbells apart from other certifications is the guidance John and Steve provide about being a teacher. Maxercise is the first school to ever offer classes in this format. The beauty of being the first kettlebell gym in the nation means that there is no questioning our experience level. Teaching bells in a class setting was, and still is, nearly unheard of in most of the country. Our instructors are trained in detail to be the best qualified and the best prepared to take a group of people and give all of them what they are looking for out of a single class. Nobody gets left behind. MKC BODYWEIGHT CERTIFICATIONS In addition to MKC Kettlebell certifications, Maxbells also offers certifications in Bodyweight training. Steve's and John's extensive experience in the fitness field has resulted in an encyclopedic knowledge of all sorts of training. Steve Maxwell's knowledge of pushups and pullups alone, and why each variation is different and beneficial, is greater than possibly anyone. Bodyweight certifications are no less grueling. Graduates will increase their abilities as trainers tremendously. INCREASE YOUR CLIENTELE Both kettlebells and bodyweight training offer clients a fast, efficient workout that can be done almost anywhere. Enough can't be said about this kind of market appeal in today's fitness industry. MKC certifications train the trainers how to give these opportunities to their clients and keep them coming back for years, while giving them the peace of mind that comes with knowing their trainer knows what they're doing. Participants are provided with coursework literature as well as a CD-ROM with the course information and photographs of every technique on them. Notetaking throughout the certification is encouraged, and questions are always welcome. |
