Hi Everyone! My name is Robert, I am 33 years old and I would like tell you about the last two years, how the Kettlebell has changed my life. I have been a bus driver for 7 years now and unfortunately the mixture of working shifts, often finishing quite late and “just sitting” behind the wheel resulted a dramatic change in my weight, my posture and ultimately in my health too. I was constantly tired, suffering with back pain and could became short of breathe quickly from any physical activity. It all changed when my good friend Attila Varga gave me a 16kg kettlebell for my 31.birthday. I was not sure about it first but with his knowledge and help I started to use it. It was not easy either, I needed constant motivation so I could break free from my old habits. I used the kettlebell twice a week for 45 minutes each time. Then I started running and changing my eating habits too. Since that birthday I have lost 18kg as my weight was 108kg at the time!! My back pain has gone, I am feelingmore energetic and now I have a 24kg kettlebell too. Without Attila and the kettlebells no doubt I would be still overweight and unhappy with my appearance and health. The great thing was, once I knew how to use the kettlebell I could fit my exercise regime around my days off and whenever I lost my direction or my motivation I would just ring Attila. I could recommend whole heartedly the kettlebell to anyone who wish to lose weight, would like to get fit or would just like to try something new. Happy bell everyone!  I’m really happy to see a good friend healthier and stronger. Robert with 24kg kettlebell. He can already work easily with heavier ones too. Vikram Marwaha   I have been training with Attila Varga since August 2008 having private sessions on a weekly basis. I was very keen to start Muay Thai to help improve fitness, flexibility and add variety to my training. Normally, when going for a first session it can be quite daunting but Attila is very friendly and welcoming. Don’tlet this fool you as after every session you know you have had a workout. I thought I was fit! Attila is a qualified Kettlebell instructor and introduced this to me. This has helped me in many ways including adding variety to my weight training, helping increase my power and strength as well as helping my flexibility. I love kettlebells so much I even got one for Christmas! Every week Attila will put me through a different challenge – there are so many workouts and exercises you can do! Even in terms of general life we have used kettlebells to help with my joint mobility. In terms of Muay Thai, Attila has helped me improve my flexibility as my hamstrings and quadricepses are very tight. We have worked on this and my kicking has improved. We work on different drills and combinations and my technique is constantly improving. To help me with my progress Attila will sometimes ask other students to come and practice with me including sparring to help me put the techniques I learn into reallife situations. I highly recommend training with Attila either having private sessions or attending his classes. As well as Attila being my trainer I see Attila as a good friend and hold his training and knowledge in the highest regard. Vikram. Jean-Marc Debricon “I have been training with Attila for 3 years in muay thai, kettle bells and, more recently, primal moves. I can honestly say that, thanks to Attila’s gruelling regime, I am now, at the age of 44, fitter, stronger and better conditioned than I was 20 years ago! Whether it is in a group class or a one-to-one, Attila’s tuition always brings the best off you. He has great technical expertise, is a phenomenal teacher and makes every class enjoyable. I would unconditionally recommend Attila to novices, intermediate and advanced students, amateur and pro-fighters.” Jean-Marc Debricon, CEO of the Green Shoots Foundation   Milan Taylor My name is Milan and I have been training martial arts on and off for around 20 years with variouscoaches and clubs. I have trained in MMA, kickboxing, Chinese boxing, muay thai, capoeira and BJJ. Over the past 5 years I have been training muay thai boxing and kettlebells with Attila Varga at Carlson Gracies BJJ Club. I can honestly say that the strength training and body conditioning I have gained from training with him has benefited me in so many ways, for martial arts training and general health & fitness. I feel that the training has increased my overall strength and conditioning. Attila has introduced me to one of my new best friends ‘the kettlebell’. I’ve learnt the correct form for kettlebells and different exercises for all body strength from Attilla. I know I have a lot more to learn from him in this area. Attila is an excellent coach who always emphasises the importance of doing the movement correctly. He is patient and professional and gives you the push you need from a coach, but also makes training enjoyable. I would highly recommend Attila’s classes and feel verylucky that I have had the opportunity to train with him. Thanks my brother Attilla. Oussssssaaaa!!! Milan Tailor       My name is Sebastian Nadal and I am a black belt in judo and a blue belt in BJJ. I have been training full time since 2009 but I only began training kettlebells with Attila about 6 months ago. Even in that short time I have noticed huge strength gains and an increase in my dynamic power which has really helped in my martial arts training. It has got to the point where I couldn’t imagine my training routine without kettlebells being involved! I cannot recommend them highly enough to everybody of all levels, and also Attila as a fantastic coach, always there to help and bring the best out of you. I look forward to continuing my work with him and seeing what new goals he can help me reach!   Hi, I first started going to Attila about 18 months ago. I was significantly over weight, with a belly that looked several months pregnant. I struggled to train for an hour, and afterjust 5 minutes of training I would puff and wheeze like an old man. Attila understands the human body extremely well. He judges his clients aptitude, fitness and constructs interesting training sessions that can rapidly deliver results. He can improve your fitness, strength and self-defence skills in a safe and secure environment. Beyond never having to work again for money, what more could a man or woman want? My girlfriend came to a few sessions and found his sessions interesting and stimulating. She certainly likes my improved physique and i have lost 2 stone and 3 inches around the waist. I thoroughly recommend Attila as a fitness and self-defence trainer. Gareth.     I have trained with Attila (private lessons) for many years.  Specifically from September 2007 until summer 2012 when I left London to  move to New York. When I started with Attila I was focusing mainly on Thai Boxing; I then incorporated Kettlebells workouts in my routines. Overall I must say that I regard thiscombination (Thai Boxing Kettlebells) as excellent for improving overall fitness level and eventually reaching high standards of physical conditioning.  In fact I compete in Triathlons and I found my workouts with Attila very helpful and synergistic to my triathlon training. I can say, without hesitations, that Attila is very knowledgeable in what he teaches and he is very focused on details.  Whatever your starting point (and your specific goals) you are bound to rapidly improve your level of fitness whilst regularly training with Attila. I can finally state that I found training with Attila very rewarding and most importantly enjoyable.  I would therefore recommend him without reservations to anybody who wants to train/learn Thai Boxing and/or Kettlebells and/or follow a “holistic” approach to fitness like I did.
