"I have never been in such good shape as I am now and I just turned 40.  Carolyn and kettlebells give me a three hour workout in less than an hour.  Down 15 pounds with 5 more to go.  I feel great."

.......Chris F.

"I have been training with Carolyn for nearly a year now (and I have trained with others in the past).  She stands above the rest for many reasons.  She personalizes every workout.  She ensures every workout pushes you a little beyond what you normally might try...she plans and insists on a good workout-a great balance of not being in your face or letting you off the hook.  She puts the most variety into the workouts that I've ever experienced......this ensures anyone under her care comes back for more, sees progress and always feels challenged."

......Gail  Z.

"I've been kettlebelling for a few years and decided I wanted to meet an instructor to get my form checked out........I'm very glad I did.  Carolyn's an outstanding instructor, who not only corrected my form, but showed me new training ideas that I'll definitely be implementing in the future."

......Mike G.

I "I began working out with Carolyn a few months ago.  I had been doing basic weight training, but had reached a plateau and needed something different.  After 8 weeks, I had lost inches from my hips and thighs.  For a female that had always been the hardest place to lose.  Carolyn is not only an expert with regard to kettlebells, but an excellent all around trainer.  I have tried many personal trainers in the Chicago area and Carolyn is the best by far."

....Suzanne G.

 "Adding kettlebells and the personal attention that Carolyn gives is the perfect addition to my workout routine.  She challenges and  motivates me so well that the benefits were obvious immediately...a stronger core, healthier knees, great aerobic conditioning and thus a whole bunch of calories burned.  Besides, while we are 'working', she is making it fun."

.....John N.

"I have never seen such quick results as I did working out with Carolyn.  She keeps you working hard and changed it up so you are never bored."

......Valerie G.

 "After my first hour of training, I knew that she was serious about making a difference.  The workouts were well planned, intense and covered all areas of the body.  I feel stronger, healthier, and have lost weight.  The use of kettlebells created a great combo of cardio and weight training.  I would highly recommend Carolyn."

 .....Paul S.

  "I can truly focus in the privacy of Carolyn's studio and really get the most out of my workout.  The kettlebells are such a unique workout that it was just the change my body required to see quick results.  I'm hoping the word doesn't get out about her so she'll always have time in her schedule to squeeze me in!"

.....Sandi S.

 "Kettlebells are better than any other free-weight exercises that you can do.  You use muscles that you didn't think you had as well as getting a challenging cardiovascular workout at the same time.  Kettlebells are as complete of a workout as I have ever had.

.....Nick G.

"I first started seeing Carolyn to help gain muscle definition as well as improve upper body strength.  I have seen incredible improvement in both.  Carolyn makes the hour of definite work pass quickly and rarely repeats an activity from week to week.  She has also been tremendously helpful in suggesting different forms of activity and exercise for me when I am not working with her.  The kettelebells are really challenging, but the results are definitely worth the effort.  I feel more toned and fit now than I ever have been."

.....Tanya C.

 "I have been getting a huge amount of compliments from friends and people at the gym saying that they have noticed a change in the way I look.  I can thoroughly recommend Carolyn for any goal you want to achieve whether it would be weight loss or just an increase in fitness levels... "
