Training with kettlebells is an awesome alternative to the standard routine that is now so typical in gyms, and infinitely more gratifying than the old hamster-on-a-wheel routine -- aka, the treadmill.

Kettlebell training provides a workout that increases strength and mobility, and actually follows and promotes the correct movement patterns of the body.  This very important aspect is not integrated into most workout routines, and certainly does not help YOU in the long run.  Become healthier, stronger and leaner, AND more functional.

Doug offers both private sessions and group classes to best suit your training needs.

For individuals who are interested in taking their strength and conditioning to a new level with the only higher level Russian kettlebell instructor in Southern California, or who would simply prefer top quality one-on-one tutelage, Doug is available for private training sessions by appointment.  Doug will commute within the territories of Santa Barbara and Los Angeles.  A single session is $200; discounted packages are available.  Either contact him via email or phone to make an appointment (Contact information is available on the 'Contact' page).
If private sessions aren't an option, classes are a fun and affordable alternative way of getting a highly effective workout in. These classes are held in a variety of locations for the convenience of his clients. Whenever possible, classes are held on the beautiful beaches of Southern California. All classes are $15/session, OR one fee of $100/month (you save $20 if you take 2 classes per week). Kettlebells are provided; all you need to bring is comfortable workout attire and a beverage.
