Discover America's best kept secret to a trim, strong and healthy body - kettlebell lifting!
I'm Mike Stefano, American Kettlebell Club Coach / Advisor, as well as author of The Firefighter's Workout Book. I'm holding Kettlebell Group Fitness Classes on Long Island and in Manhattan. For more information on a group class location near you, drop me an email at Michael.Stefano@gmail.com.

Kettlebell group classes will initially be held at the Sunrise Health and Racquet Club in Massapequa, on Long Island NY (6000 Sunrise Highway). As a way to expose as many people as possible, my introductory price is only $40 per class. Every attendee will come away with a great workout, and maybe learn a thing or two. We're kicking the summer off early, with the first class on Saturday, May 17 at 12 noon. Sign up now: >> May 17 Group Class - $40
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 350 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 my average Joe doing 20-minute sets, the results are ALWAYS there -- if you do the work.
Kettlebell training works on many levels. For the advanced athlete who needs extreme strength, endurance, explosive power, and everything else necessary to excel in today's athletic arena, I offer a strength / conditioning approach to kettlebells. The motivation of any athlete just needs focus. Once you learn to spearhead your training DIRECTLY AT WHAT you need, progress accelerates.
For the fitness enthusiast, or anybody that needs to drop a few pounds and just get healthier, it doesn't get any better than kettlebell training. Our fitness system backs off on some of the traditional intensity necessary for to build extreme strength / endurance, but keeps it high enough to sculpt, tone, burn fat, and 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. A win-win-win situation.
SOME 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."
--Eric Liford, Editor-In-Chief, American Kettlebell Club
