Kirk is able to bring you the same great instruction as he did when directly representing the WKC under the former Master Trainer program.

No mode of exercise guarantees results. Kettlebells are a tool, and like all tools, they are only as effective as allowed by the hands that use them. As the popularity of kettlebells continues to grow, so does the number of self-proclaimed "experts." With every wanna-be kettleguru, there is an ever-growing demand for certified kettlebell professionals. Our kettlebell course is designed to make you a master so that you know how to safely and effectively get the results you seek and so that you can pass this knowledge on to others with confidence and precision.
What You Will Learn:
Unlike other programs that cost thousands of dollars and yet pass only about 70% of its participants, we do not require you to meet a physical ability test. We find that clients are much more interested in what you know, can demonstrate and can teach than how many repetitions you can perform and how much weight you can lift. Each participant must be able to pass a 20-question test and demonstrate the ability to accurately teach and perform the following basic kettlebell exercises for short timed sets:
For a limited time, the cost of this workshop is only $299. The investment in your knowledge and in the safety of your kettlebell clients couldn't be better spent. Certifications do not expire or require continuing CEUs.

Kettlebell Workshop:
Thank you so much for your expertise in the use of kettle bells the other day. Our students and staff enjoyed learning something new in the physical education classes. I appreciate how interactive you were with the students during the classes, allowing them a lot of opportunities to try the kettle bells and se how they work for themselves. You were patient and explained why they work on a level that students and staff new to this method of training could easily understand. Sometime we have adult guests here at the high school who are a little uncomfortable working with and relating to teenagers. You were very comfortable and enjoyed the opportunity to introduce another positive choice for both students and staff to make in staying healthy and getting in shape.

Nutrition/Health Presentation:
When I called to ask whether someone could come and give a presentation about hearth health, sleep, nutrition, and exercise, Kirk was more than willing to present. I sent him a list of the areas that I wanted him to discuss, and he made a very thorough and informative presentation for our students.
Kirk created a beautiful powerpoint presentation and a handout for the students. He was patient with the students and willing to answer all of their questions.
I would recommend Kirk Orelup for a presentation in the future.

Kettlebell Certification
While a student at College of Lake County, I worked with Kirk at Fitness 19. I was able to shadow him in his job as fitness trainer, and then train a number of clients under his supervision. Also, after seeing Kirk train clients in using kettlebells during their workouts, I was able to become certified under him as a kettlebell fitness trainer, through the World Kettlebell Club. Through working with Kirk on a regular basis for two semesters, I have found that he is very capable in his field, as well as professional in all of his interactions with clients and staff. I would highly recommend him as a trainer who puts the needs of clients first and is skilled at helping them reach their fitness potential.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Kirk Orelup for his Kettlebell Certification. What I enjoyed about the course was Kirk's attention to detail. He explained all of the cues for each movement very well, and was patient with me during my attempts to learn the movements correctly. I highly recommend this to any fitness professional who would like to teach kettlebell training to their clients, with the highest regard to safety. I am very happy with my purchase.
