"Thanks so much for the workshop on Saturday - it was one of the best things I've paid money to attend in my whole life, and it was worth way more than $300. you are EXCELLENT. I feel very inspired! next time I attend, I will leave my 3kg baby rattle at home. while I may not be quite ready to Live Life Aggressively, I am certainly not as much of a sissy as I was last week. thank you."
- Alysia Nolan, Los Angeles, CA
"I was convinced of the value of Mike's workshop. I had wondered previously about its value since I had already learned a lot from videos. But now there was no doubt: some of these things you just need to learn in person. And with exercises I had learned before, the reinforcement of proper form in all its subtleties was worth the time and money. One of the important differences between videos and the workshop is how Mike would build up to an exercise. With the military press, for example, he started by teaching a deadlift, then a clean, then doing a tension exercise, then power breathing, then finally the press. The tension exercise was great: he had us hold a heavier bell than we were used to in the clean position. I was used to a 35lb bell, but now I had an 88lb bell cleaned. Holy cow, it took my whole body just to hold the thing there for 10 seconds! But generating whole body tension was exactly the point. That's the kind of thing you can't get from watching a video."

"OK, Ladies listen up; I am relatively new to kettlebell training. I attended Mike and Dylan’s professional Kettlebell workshop in Northern VA. Mike and Dylan are truly experts in the science of kettlebell training. Mike’s lecture on nutrition, physiology and anatomy was impeccably accurate. Dylan is excellent in his innate ability to make you focus and perform. I felt completely comfortable and part of the team during the instruction and execution of the exercises. I learned how important it is to use the right kettlebell weight and essential tweaks onmy lifting. Watching Mike demonstrate his exemplary strength was amazing and inspiring.For those of you contemplating attending, do it, your mind, body and soul will be grateful. I feel calm, strong and energized. I am a fan. P.S. I personally would like to see some shirtless photos on the website. :-)"
- Carrie Pascoe, Woodbridge, VA
"This was my second KB workshop with Mike Mahler and even though I am no longer a rookie when it comes to KB training, there is always something new to learn. I am always amazed at the many different types of fitness enthusiasts who attend his seminars. From World Champion powerlifters like myself, to runners and weekend warriors, Mike makes sure the workshop caters to all levels of fitness. His energy and sense of humor make the 8 hours pass all too soon. I was truly exhausted by the end of the day and pleasantly sore in a way that regular gym workouts cannot afford me. I got to polish up my technique and learn a few new cool exercises from Mike’s co-presenter, Dylan Thomas. In addition to the KB exercises, Mike lectured us on the need for good nutrition, sleep and hormonal therapy-something most people who go to the gym neglect. Mike’s holistic viewpoint on life, health and exercise is a refreshing change of pace from the standard bodybuilding mentality that pervades the gym world. Do yourself a favor and sign up for the next seminar that comes to your town. It will be an experience you will not soon forget."

"My Name is Harley Flanagan I am a Purple belt under Renzo Gracie some of you may know me from my bands the Cro-mags, Harley's War and others. I have always been into working out and over the years I have suffered from various shoulder injuries. After just one of Mikes seminars I felt improvement in my shoulder. A lot of my injuries from grappling and life in general got aggravated by using standard weights. However, when using kettle bells I felt improvement in my strength and in those weak areas. These damn kettlebells get you strong as hell, but I would never suggest playing around with them without proper instruction. That's why you should get in touch with Mike Mahler and check out his Dvds and his seminars! You will be glad you did whether you are a martial artist or just into strength training these things are the bomb! This stuff will REALLY get you in top shape for MMA or anything else life throws your way!"
- Harley Flanagan, Cro-mags / Harley's War www.hardcorehalloffame.com and www.cromags.com
"Since I have been using Mike's techniques I have gotten into absolutely amazing shape. I'm proud to say it! I cannot recommend his expertise enough. In the past few months, everyone I know has asked me how I got so fit and I direct them all to kettlebells and Mike Mahler. Mike realizes that everyone has different training goals and what they need to do to achieve them. He knows what works and what doesn't and will get you where you want to go. Thanks Mike, you seriously kick ass!"
- Chris Pontius of MTV's Wildboyz and Jackass
"You are an incredible instructor. As a corporate trainer, I understand the energy it takes to manage, teach, and motivate a group. You really excel at breaking down even the most technical exercise into the appropriate steps . The progression allows everyone to be successful. It is clear you love what you are doing and have fun doing it...which translates into everyone else having fun."
- Barbara McDuffie
“Mike Mahler's course is Scotland was a blast! I have used kettlebells for years now, but Mike's seminar still gave me a new perspective and fresh ideas on the training. The lecture about hormonal optimization was very informative and often surprising. Mike made me want to explore that subject even more. The course follow up was very professional and I cannot praise it enough! Mike Mahler is by all means one of the most exciting, professional and competent trainers I have ever worked with. The Man is also freakinglishly strong and is great FUN. I already look forward to hosting him in London.”
Sabina Skala (CJSFitness/FDP - Fighters Development Programme)
"Mike came over to the UK in February 2011 & a bunch of us jumped at the chance to learn from him & we weren't disappointed!!
I'd never done any double kettlebell work before & I was interested in hearing what Mike had to teach. After learning the techniques I am definitely going to add more double bells into my training now I know how to do so effectively without taking my knees out!!
Mike creates a friendly, working atmosphere, is incredibly open to answering any questions - whether you're a novice or an experienced lifter I would say it's well worth attending - plus we had the added bonus of the hormone optimization lecture over lunch. Very interesting subject which is put in simple terms for all to comprehend.
Mr Mahler please come over to the UK more often!!"
---Jane Maddern
"I attended Mike’s kettlebell/hormone optimization workshop weekend in Edinburgh Scotland in February 2011. I knew Mike from his online presence where he is very generous in sharing his extensive knowledge. Also, from his information packed, inspirational and entertaining dvds such as ‘Boys Back in Town’.
I had very high expectations of the course and these were exceeded! I learned new techniques and complexes with double kettlebells and new approaches to familiar lifts which I can experiment with. I also learednew ways to teach the basic lifts to my clients.The hormone optimization lecture was very informative and I have already put what I learned into practice. I have come away from the course feeling inspired and with extra tools for my own training and to help whip my clients into shape!
What makes Mike stand out from other educators is that he is so approachable, personable and humorous. He makes sure everyone feels comfortable to ask any questions and goes out of his way to answer them. He created a great atmosphere in the group so we were all sharing and encouraging each other with many new friendships made. This buzz continued after the course – facebook was red hot for days! Within a couple of days Mike had sent out lots of post course materials such as e-books and there are dvds of the course to follow – essential for optimal retention.
The next time Mike is within striking distance I’ll be there!

"I want to share my thoughts with you on your training weekend in Edinburgh this weekend past. What can I say except brilliant and I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Obviously, the course content was superb...well thought out and the 2 days flowed seamlessly. For me though, it was your manner and people skills that set you apart from other people I have trained with. You have the unique ability to critique without criticizing. We had 2 days with a room full of people with mixed abilities and yet differences in ability were hardly apparent. You treated everyone with dignity and respect and your sense of humor dispelled any nerves that some folks may have had. This made people relax, open their minds and learn with ease. You are genuinely interested to find out about the people who came to train with you and are a very easy person to talk to. That is the mark of not just a good trainer but an excellent one and isn't something that can be learned. You either have it or you don't and Mike, you have it in bucketloads!
Everyone there came from very diverse backgrounds and we all met in the middle at your seminars. Myself, I come from a bodybuilding background (17 years) and have competed and trained others for many years so have been fortunate enough to train with and learn from some really good people. You rank right at the top. You are knowledgeable and skilled to the point of it being ridiculous and you walk the talk which I respect greatly. You have a true passion for what you do which is infectious.
I appreciated the fact that you are not just a kettlebell trainer but know the gym well and I have learned how to better apply my kettlebell training to my bodybuilding training and improve my core moves in terms of performance. You talk my language and get where I am coming from.
With my background, hormone optimization is obviously very important and I learned a lot during your lectures which again will help me in what I do and allow me to be more useful to the people who come to me for help.
Mike, it was a genuine honor and pleasure to train with you and I very much look forward to the next installment :-)"

“I first heard of Mike Mahler 18 months ago when a friend recommended him for some personal training, before that I didn’t have a clue what a kettlebell was and I sure didn’t have a clue about how to train or nourish myself! I spent a year as an online client and in that time my strength and conditioning went through the roof. Mike’s approach to nutrition was excellent and whilst there were huge changes in my diet it actually came really easy and Mike was a great support. So when I heard Mike Mahler was coming to UK I couldn’t wait to jump straight on board for both days of his 2 day course. I’m so glad I did because it was an amazing experience, Mike’s energy and enthusiasm are contagious and his know how is second to none, on top of that he is just one hell of a fantastic human being. In the two days I learned to improve my technique across the board and did my first double snatches and double swings outside the legs, both with great technique due to being under Mike’s watchful eye. In the week that has followed the training I have had nothing but PRs, I have gone from one arm pressing 8kg bells to 12kgs in less that 2 days and my one arm rowing has increased from 16kgs to 24kgs in the same time. I feel in tip top condition and know that the sky is the limit. If anyone wants to learn how to maximise their training and learn how to nourish their bodies then I recommend they get on as many of Mike’s courses as they can, there is always something to learn from him. Great course, I’m stoked!”
Paula Craven (aged 41), Attended the Scotland Course
“I wanted to thank you again for an awesome weekend. I loved every minute of it, and have learned so much that I will be putting into practice from this week on. You are a very inspirational teacher and have relit my enthusiasm for my kettlebells. You’re right – it was a brilliant group of people to work with. I already knew a lot of them from other workshops, but I made so many new friends over the weekend as well.
I thought your lectures were also very important, and have already booked a food sensitivity test. I also went straight out on Monday and got some selenium and probiotics, and even tried seaweed for the first time to try and improve my iodine”
Avril Brown, Edinburgh, Scotland
“Once again thanks for an awesome and truly inspiring weekend I learned so much from you Mike, more I think than I have learned from a course ever before. Maybe its because I understand things better now I’m a little older as an athlete and trainer who knows what I do know is your teaching style and coaching ability totally blew me away and the only other time I have witnessed this is in the company of Ken Blackburn, Steve Cotter and Jason Dolby. You guys really do give me something to aspire to be like.”
--David McConnachie
“Just wanted to say a big thank you for an awesome weekend, which exceeded all expectations. You can never stop learning, and this weekend definitely taught me that!”
--Christian Vila
“I attended a Level 1 (Beginner's Workshop) and Level 2 (Intermediate Workshop) with Mike in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2011. Previously I had learnt only from books and the Internet. I found both days to be highly instructive. Some techniques that I had struggled with at home such as windmills and double snatch were done with confidence for the first time. Highly recommended. Thanks Mike!”
-- Bruce Mitchell
"Before attending your workshop, on the Military Press I was able to press the 32kg around 3-4 times on each arm. I just tried it yesterday and cranked out 7 reps with 1-2 left to spare…. I feel the class gave me the extra help with technique that I needed to pull the lat into it more. SWEET!"
- Dustin Silveri, Reno, NV
"I just wanted to say hello and thank you after attending my first kettlebell seminar in NYC this past weekend. My mind was truly blown away (not to mention my ENTIRE body)!! You are a powerhouse of knowledge and a wonderful motivator. Going back to my gym today was tough - all I could think about was how much I want to learn to master the kettlebell exercises and dump traditional weightlifting. Thanks for opening my eyes and helping me discover a way out of my boring training routine. Look forward to another seminar! Thanks again!"
- Julie Nuzzo, NYC
Here are the exercises that you will learn in detail at the workshop
- Swings: This is were it all starts for developing rapid hip flexors and for accelerating fat loss. It is not as simple as it looks. Learn the best way to do swings at the workshop and how to avoid getting a sore lower back.
- Cleans: Are you banging up your wrists. You should not be even with the heaviest kettlebells. Without a perfect clean, forget about doing presses with confidence. It all starts here. Why you should open your hand and wrap your hand around the kettlebell rather than letting the kettlebell flip over and bang up your forearms.
- One arm snatch: Again, are you banging up your wrists? If you are, sign up right now or get good medical insurance. If you are banging up your wrists then you have no idea what you are doing and are wasting your time with snatches. You will be amazed at how good snatches feel when executed properly. No pun intended.
- Military Press: (Many years ago the Military Press was the mark up upper body strength. Now people are lazy and like to lie down when doing presses ;-) learn why the military press is a full body demonstration of tension and why lat activation is critical for an important press. Learn why you should press two kettlebells like a barbell and lower two kettlebells like you are doing a pull-up for maximum strength. You will be shocked at what a difference this makes.
- Rows: If you are not doing any bent-over rowing, then you are building an imbalanced body and can expect to have some nice shoulder injuries and shoulders that hunch forward. Learn how to do rows correctly to build a balanced powerful upper body.
- Windmill: This is an exceptional exercise for building shoulder stability, core strength, and solid obliques. It is also an incredible for building flexibility in the shoulders and lower body. Done correctly, this exercise is safe and effective. Done incorrectly, it is a sure-fire way to get injured badly! Learn how to do it right before it is too late.
- Turkish Get-up: Forget about crunches and doing sit-ups all day long. Work your body as one unit and build a rock solid midsection. Learn the pattern of motion to make TGU' seamless and productive.
And much, much more.

"Sincere Hogan is the epitome of strength in mind and body. His passion for health and fitness far exceeds anyone else I have been around and his knowledge of how to transform someone from the inside out is unrivaled."
- Zach Even-Esh - Underground Strength Coach/ Wrestling Strength
"How fortunate I am to travel the world and meet so many wonderful, inspired people, including many, many fitness professionals. Sincere Hogan represents the quality, integrity and pursuit of knowledge and progress that I most admire in my colleagues in the Strength & Conditioning fields. Never satisfied to stay at his already high level, Sincere is a teacher and a seeker, looking constantly to better himself and better those clients and students he serves. He has knowledge, experience and expertise in Kettlebell training, and Bodyweight Conditioning and the ability to teach these tools and concepts to a diverse audience-from the rugged MMA athletes to the busy working moms and dads, yet the patience to guide the elderly also in their health and fitness goals. I can't say enough good things about this exceptional trainer and exceptional man"
- Steve Cotter, Founder and Director of the International Kettlebell & Fitness Federation (IKFF)
"There are trainers. And then there are COACHES. A trainer can make you go through the motions. A trainer can scream at you like a drill instructor. A trainer can weave a tapestry of obscenities at you while YOU do the hard work. A COACH motivates you to be a better athlete. A COACH shows you how to push past the limits put on you, and the ones that you put on YOURSELF. A COACH makes you want to be a better human being, and shows you a path toward achieving that goal. A COACH doesn't hold your hand down the path, he INSPIRES you to walk it on your own, and to find the courage to blaze new trails for others to follow.Sincere Hogan is a COACH....any questions?"
-Rev Bart Stewart - Primal Iron Gym
"Sincere is well known in the fitness industry for a reason - he is that rare combination of athlete, teacher and gifted communicator. He understands that everyone is different and this is reflected in the diverse clientele that seek out his services - working moms, MMA athletes, kids and other fitness
professionals. Moreover, his system of combining bodyweight training and kettlebells is awesome! This is some very innovative material and a workshop you don't want to miss!"
-Ken Blackburn - IKFF Director of Operations
"I know Sincere Hogan not only as an amazing coach that cares a great deal about his clients, but also and outstanding person who puts his heart and sole into his passion of changing peoples lives for the better. I have worked with Sincere on several occasions and was more then impressed with his knowledge on kettlebell training and his extreme passion for fitness and overall wellness. If you have the chance to work with Sincere DO NOT pass
it up! His New Warrior Training System is the bomb, and he is an overall awesome dude!"
-Mike Stehle - The Training Room/Crossfit Jersey Shore
"Sincere's New Warrior Training is the exact kind of challenge I had been looking for. It pushed me beyond what I thought were my limits in a positive and inspiring way. I am a trainer myself, so this was not the easiest of tasks. I found precisely what I was looking for with Sincere! This is
not to mention the awesome sense of camaraderie in his groups, as well as his vast knowledge on nutrition. Thanks, Sincere!"
-Mandy Trichell - Mod Your Body/Houston Parkour
"Sincere's program has really changed the way I view exercise. Before, I would dread going to the gym or hopping on the treadmill. His outdoor fitcamp program of unique, butt-kicking exercises really makes working out fun! It has really been a life changing experience."
-Ricky Lyons - PGA Head Golf Professional
"When I first started I could hardly do a squat, and now I am doing squats and much much more, stuff I never thought I could do. Even in the beginning, Sincere was so great to not judge me and he is always positive.
I have so much more energy, I find myself using the fit camp as my own energy drink of sorts. It gives me a great kick and I look forward to every class. I don't think I have ever looked forward to working out.. seriously NEVER! Now the fit camp is what I look forward to... it is my own Happy Hour of sorts, the way I end my workday! My clothes are not fitting anymore. I have had to buy more belts to keep my pants up! My co-workers and friends keep asking me "what are you doing girl? where is this glow coming from?" I just tell them.. Sincere and the Fit Camp!"
-Bernadette Brown - CNN News/Former Planning Editor for Fox 26 – Houston

There are some qualities I look for when recommending a strength & conditioning and fitness coach. The no-brainer attributes are things like experience, strength, and good communication skills. Many trainers have these attributes because a majority of them have some background in sports and physical training. So that is a starting point, but in order to get my personal testimonial, these qualities alone are not enough! I look for other, more subtle and in my opinion important things.What I really appreciate about Christopher is his consistency of temperament. He is calm, cool and collected, always very fast to lend a helping hand, always taking a keen interest in the well-being of those he interacts with. |
Like a good doctor, to me a good trainer has a genuine interest in the people he serves. I don’t want some tough guy muscle head that can pump me up but could care less about my progress or personal journey. I want a person like Christopher who can get me in top shape, but also is interested in my health and success. A real strong man, in body, mind and spirit! Train with Christopher, you are in good hands!
- Steve Cotter, Director of International Kettlebell & Fitness
I have known Chris Reed for some time now. We met on a few occasions through fitness seminars. I know all too well of his passion for training athletes to get more athletic, training adults for fitness and health, and the general positive state of well being that he pursues on a daily basis in his own life. He is one of the few great trainers out there who has done the legwork, invested the time and energy to learn from the best, and applies all of his teachings to his own personal life.
He walks the talk. In just a short conversation over breakfast one morning in Jersey, I realized his passion and knowledge for strength and fitness that is rare to come by in today’s industry. There are many keyboard bound fitness trainers out there who know good sales copy and make money as a “top trainer” because they know the right key words to get people to buy the next fad product.
Chris is not one of these guys. He knows functional fitness and strength, and more importantly, how it applies to “real” people. He knows how to cater to the individual who needs the help, not just record video of a stud 19 year old natural athlete who stepped into his facility for the first time and claim how great he is for training this young athlete. Anybody can look like a great trainer if you have a superman client.
Truly great trainers take ordinary people to extraordinary levels of achievement. This is what most amazes me about Chris; he does this over and over again. If you want to see real results, I could not recommend Chris Reed and his training philosophy enough. Have fun and soak it in.

Since starting here at Empire, I can say have done the warm-up many times and that it is essential to anything and everything you do. Even if you do not train or participate in physical activities with the warm-up alone I have noticed many improvements physically and mentally - I have become stronger, flexible and more in tune with my body.
Being an athlete, a football player more specifically, the warm up has a given me a great one-up on teammates and opponents simply because people often overlook or neglect altogether improving their flexibility and the healing of their bodies. It becomes very visible to me on the football field when I see all these players having to stop in the middle of practice for little annoyances and pains, that could of been prevented by doing a proper warm-up.
I can honestly say I have never seen and been through a more thorough and well-put-together warm-up. Doing the warm-up and feeling the benefits speaks for itself.

I first came to know of Chris through a mutual client about 2 years ago. During this time I came to understand Chris’ philosophies and methodologies around training, rest, recovery and his implementation of preventative measures such as his usage of a thorough warm-up and his incorporation of post workout soft tissue work including self-myofascial release techniques and joint mobility exercises. This difference in attention to measures outside of conventional training modalities immediately set Christopher apart from the rest of his peers.
On a consistent basis I have come to witness the remarkable and expedient recovery of all of Christopher’s clients. Normal pathology would see me treat any given individual several times, this is of course predicated on the severity of the trauma, but Christopher’s clients are all able to bounce back within 2-3 treatments. This to me is a testament to Christopher’s consistent diligence in rehabilitative methods and constant update of his knowledge, what I consider to be hallmarks of a true professional.
Recently, I have had the occasion to speak with Christopher and I have come to know of his passion for what he does but also for those whom he serves. It is for these very reasons, both his professionalism and genuine character, that I have no reservation in giving Christopher my full endorsement. If you have the opportunity to learn theoretical, technical or practical knowledge from Christopher be it biomechanics, joint mobility, recovery, stretching or better warm-up routines take advantage of the opportunity – you will not be disappointed but more over you and your clients will benefit from this knowledge.
Sincerely,
Dr. Carmen Stillo DC, BSc. (Hons.)

A: Yes, you will learn how to perform the basic kettlebell lifts with perfect execution from day one and will prevent serious injuries and frustration. In addition you will learn some incredible new bodyweight exercises as well as the benefits of natural hormone optimization.
Q: I do not have my own kettlebells?
A: No problem, we will have several kettlebells on hand
Q: I am not a beginner, but not an expert either. Should I attend?
A: Yes! we have had many people tell me that they are already pretty good before attending my seminars only to realize real fast that they are far from good. You can only learn so much from a book or DVD. Opportunities like this do not come often. Make sure you register today rather than add missing our seminar to your regrets list.
Q: What will I take away from the workshop?
A: Confidence in performing complex kettlebell exercises such as Windmills, Snatches, Turkish Get-ups, Side presses, and Bent presses. Moreover, you will be stronger than ever on presses, rows, squats, and you will know what programs to use to hit your goals.

Q: How do I know you all any good?
A: Ask around! Go back and re-read the testimonials. Read our articles on and decide for yourself.
Q: Is this seminar appropriate for women?
A: You bet it is! We have had plenty of women attend our seminars and they always have a great time. Do not be intimidated as you will have a great time at the seminar.
Q: I think that the price is too high?
A: The cost of training with incorrect form is far more costly than the seminar fee. If you think that is too high then you clearly do not care about your health. You spend more than that on your cable bill just so you can watch lame TV shows all night. A lame dinner and movie costs more than the hourly seminar rate. If you are not serious about being a strong and healthy person, then do not attend. If you do not see the importance of investing in your health, then we do not want to work with you. I only work with serious and committed trainees.

A: Our workshops are hands on and you will be working hard. That said, we have done tons of seminars and know how to pace them in a way that will not leave you wiped out. The purpose of the workshop is to provide proper instruction not place you through an eight hour boot camp. We get all kinds of people at my workshops from incredible athletes to completely out of shape beginners. We know how to teach both at the same seminar effectively so do not worry about it. Email me if you have any specific concerns at mahler25@yahoo.com
