This was my first kettlebell class I've ever taken and I was kind of nervous. I used to do a lot of powerlifting and weight lifting when I was younger. I wasn't a professional or competed on the platform for powerlifting lol I wasn't strong enough ( squat: 385 deadlift: 405and bench measly 315 lol) . I've gotten old, spine surgery 4 years ago, left knee surgery 5 months ago and right knee 20 years ago. Also, I've packed on 30 lbs....of blubber haha. So, I was really nervous to see how out of shape I am. I lift weights 4 days a week but this is a different animal for me, I kettlebell training was gonna kick my butt. I parked in front ( they have parking in their lot), I entered and was greeted by Jason. You know when you have that feeling or aura someone is going to be really cool. That's what I got from him. He was super smiley and was like ," joe right?" ( because for class you sign up online which is helpful). I told him a had a Groupon ( usually people give you some kind of like "cheapskate" look when you have those haha) he didn't he was super happy I got the package. We had some time to talk before class and he asked me what my goals were and I told him I'd like to get back to 180-190 lbs. He was asking about my diet ( what's that I eat everything in sight haha) but I told him I'm intermittent fasting and started dieting this week. He was like yes man we'll get you sub 200. He was like someone I've known for along time but just met. Met 2 really nice ladies in class that were super welcoming. We started with warmups and I think about 30 minutes into class I almost passed out hahahahaha not really I was just breathing really hard. The whole time Jason was smiling and going over everyone's form and giving tips. Like how is this guy so smiley and nice and he's murdering me lmao. After the class was over I was so happy for one I survived and 2 it was just a fun class....I told Jason I can lift weights 7 days a week but this cardio and kettlebells i only enjoy I'm group settings so I'm happy that I joined his place . I can't wait to get back to 185 lbs. I used to do it on my own but it's much more enjoyable when I'm not on a stair master for 45 minutes being bored outta my mind. Thanks for the QL strengthening tips Jason ( as soon as he said I learned this from Donnie Thompson I was like the "super d" "bow tie? " haha) and for the stickers. I'll see you Saturday.

I've been to plenty of gyms for workouts and I love Southbay Kettlebells. I'm the type of person who loves working out at least 4 times a week. I'm not a fan of crossfit but I love having a good burn, sweat, and good fun time. What I love about SouthBay Kettlebells is learning the proper form of kettlebells. Other gyms that I've worked out at has taught the American style of kettlebells, which is fine for a crossfit style. But here you're learning Russian Kettlebells and you're getting a great workout. The classes run 45 mins which will be intense. Coach Jason ensures that all your forms are correct when doing everything from swings to Turkish get-ups. If you're looking for a different kind of workout that is easy on the joints and give you a full body workout I highly recommend South Bay Kettlebells. Parking is plentiful and prices are fair. The classes are never crowded!

Kettlebells South Bay is a great workout. Jason is awesome. He is patient, knowledgeable. The workouts are a workout but Jason keeps you motivated and assists you every step of the workout. The facility is clean. He has lots of equipment to chose from. Each class is built upon the previous one. I would highly recommend Kettlebells SouthBay to everybody. It is a very rewarding experience!
