One recent graduate of our program wrote in to tell us of an interesting event that happened to him shortly after his certification weekend, he writes:

Hey Guys.....
I just received the AOSX Blast from the Past workout. It’s awesome!!!
Ever since the AOS Essential Workshop in Aug, I have discovered a new passion in training for myself and for my clients. My status as trainer at the Sports Club LA NYC has become very popular. I have created a new buzz at the club and now Kettlebells are the feature exercise tool everyone wants to use.
I do have some people questioning me about kettlebell training (I bet you have as well) but if you ask them if they’ve ever tried KB's there answer is no.
I was training an athlete this past Saturday during a prime time hour at the club. While the athlete was performing the wonderful Snatch exercise with perfect form-driving with the hips, arm relaxed (taming the arc) swing, punching and locking the arm at top, and finishing with the arm retracted and depressed - A member (about 5'5" 150lbs-unfit, wearing a wrist brace and a wightlifting belt) decided to speak his mind and yell out "Your killing his back!! That's the worst exercise!! I'm a doctor" and walks away with frustration to a Smith machine to do some squats.
I did not pay any attention to this absurd outburst -i was more focused on my client’s performance . My client loves doing snatches and never complains of any back pain working with KB's.
It just goes to show you that some Dr's have no knowledge in functional training. They’d rather prescribe medication and hammer strength machine exercises to improve someone’s lifestyle- it’s so ignorant.
This story is probably not new to you. But I must say that it felt great hearing that from a Dr. I'm 100% more confident improving someone’s lifestyle and athletic performance.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
