Do you want to change the shape of your body forever? Need more energy, work capacity, strength, endurance? Looking for a simple way to achieve all your health, fitness goals without leaving the house? Look no further!
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. As a fitness modality, it is unsurpassed for building strength, endurance, reducing body fat, building lean hard muscle, improving joint health, cardiovascular endurance, and the list goes on and on!
MIKE DEMONSTRATES:
>kettlebell swing
I'm Mike Stefano, American Kettlebell Club (AKC) coach and Fire-Rescue Advisor, as well as author of The Firefighter's Workout Book. The AKC was founded by champion kettlebell lifter and world record holder, Valery Fedorenko (my coach and kettlebell lifting mentor). To put Valery's abilities in perspective, he's been compared to the Michael Jordan of kettlebells. Fedorenko Video:

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.
"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

READ WHAT MIKE'S KETTLEBELL STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY
Marco Svagna
I assumed my Snatch technique was pretty good, that is until Mike observed it. He explained that my drop was wrong and it required a lot of effort (wasted energy). He then taught me how to drop the KB correctly and efficiently. Well tonight, after a ten minute double jerk set, I completed my first ten minute snatch set (1 switch at 5 minutes) fairly easily. It just goes to show you what good coaching will do. By the way, it was because of Mike's guidance that I was able to reach the 10 minute mark in the double jerk a few weeks ago. That man is one of Long Island's hidden treasures!
Anthony C.
I've been training with Mike since before his transition to AKC. Now, with Valery's training, Mike's coaching abilities have multiplied (as well as my results). I'm down 55 pounds, and getting stronger every day! I routinely complete 10-minute sets for high reps, as many as 350 per workout.
Vanessa T.
After years of working out in the martial arts and various other modalities, I discovered Mike and through his coaching, genuine kettlebell lifting. It's made a huge change in my body and my life. I'm leaner, stronger, have more endurance and can do 10-minute-plus sets!
Matt O.
I've been with Mike for almost 3 years. As a member of the FDNY, I've got to stay fit. Mike's kettlebell coaching is a new level in fitness for me. My physical appearance, as well as my overall strength, endurance, breathing capacity have all skyrocketed.
Jenn D.
I packed on some lean muscle without gaining size. I'm stronger than I ever imagined I could be. Mike is a knowledgeable, patient coach that I continue to learn from each week.
Mark B.
When I first came to Mike I had to drop weight AND build strength / endurance. I'd never heard of a kettlebell. Inside of a few short months, Mike's training, especially getting set up on a home routine, have me doing ten minute kettlebell sets, and I'm in the best shape of my
life.

Why Kettlebells for Firefighters?
Firefighters (police officers, soldiers, athletes) need a tremendous amount of strength combined with extreme endurance and that's exactly what kettlebells deliver. Kettlebell lifting represents an uncanny combination of physical effort that sparks the identical strength-endurance demands, movement patterns and timing sequences that's typically experienced when fighting fires, as well as in many athletics (IE: explosiveness of an NFL lineman, quickness of a martial artist, endurance of a swimmer, strength of a power lifter).
From personal experience as a firefighter, I can tell you that after performing a high intensity kettlebell set, you feel as if you've dragged a high pressure hose-line down a 100-foot hallway and put out three rooms of fire. You need only work with a 26 (12kg) or 35 pound (16 kg) kettlebell to make this happen.
Learn how to train with kettlebells the right way, the way the Russians have been successfully doing it for over 50 years, and now directly taught to me by Valery Fedorenko. I'm available for workshops, group classes, or one-on-one sessions. You can even host a workshop at your location. Call or email for more information or come in for a free consultation.
