Anthony Diluglio, RKC has practiced his unique style of personal training throughout the United States and Scandinavia. In 2002, Anthony stumbled across the “ancient strong-man” practice of kettlebell lifting and was immediately attracted to its focus on core strength and total body fitness. He was 1 of the first US trainers to achieve official RKC (Russian Kettlebell Challenge) certification in April of 2003.
Anthony pioneered the use of kettlebell-based circuit training for the general public—carefully molding this often intimidating, hardcore practice into a system accessible to all. His groundbreaking “Punch Kettlebell Gym” in Providence, Rhode Island was the first to focus on kettlebells as the central tool for strength, endurance, and body shaping in every workout. The wild success of DiLuglio's circuits with athletes, housewives, and desk-bound executives lead Men’s Journal to honor Anthony as one of America’s top 100 trainers for two years in a row (2004/2005).
Anthony continues to inspire legions of clients at the original Punch Kettlebell Gym in Providence—but has expanded his message throughout the world with “Art of Strength” (AOS) DVD training series for individuals and licensing of the Punch Kettlebell Gym and AOS concepts for gym owners.
