Due to the overwhelming interest in kettlebells, the widespread void of coaching effectiveness education available, and the number of aches, pains and injuries associated with inappropriate training technique and protocols, Scott Sonnon designed performance, breathing, joint mobility and compensatory movement programs to properly energize, prepare and unload tissues for kettlebell lifters.

These programs have been documented for public use in the DVD series, Scott Sonnon's Official Kettlebell Foundation (http://www.kettlebellfoundation.com/) - the official programs you need to serve as the foundation to kettlebell lifting. As you'll see in the DVD course, Scott Sonnon included lessons on the most foundational kettlebell exercises as well; plus a basic training protocol progression that will safely allow you to find the results that you want.

The Official Kettlebell Foundation Programs met with such great success and appeal worldwide, that individuals, teams, agencies and clubs have requested instruction. RMAX cannot merely certify people in kettlebell lifting, since these programs derive from an intimate understanding of Circular Strength Training (CST). They're taught within the signature "3 Ring" concept of CST, and dissected through the 7 Key Components of CST.

RMAX established a new kettlebell division, and the first CST Instructor Kettlebell Specialist Certification was held on February 22, 2009.
Here is what some of the participants of that seminar said about the Course:


“Scott has an uncanny ability to coach any skill at a high level. I have had experience with most of the well known kettlebell coaches / systems and Scott offers the most sensible and user friendly approach. Thanks Coach!” – John Wolf

“Helped with cueing and ideas about breaking down kettlebell movement exercises to improve clients.” – Kaylee Gardner

“I really enjoy kettlebells and the way they help teach proper form and technique—it was wonderful to learn more.” – Tiffany Morton

“Probably would have come up for just this, even though it was just the delicious icing on this weekend’s delicious cake.” – Jim Romig

“Very good. Lots to learn. Good to learn new methods.” – Doug Salmon

The second CST Instructor Kettlebell Specialist Certification will be conducted on August 16th in Bellingham, Washington. Only returning CST Instructors or trainees of CST Pi Cadre may register, for the above stated reasons: this is not a separate certification - you must be a CST in order to comprehend the manner in which these skills are assembled and presented in programmatic format.

Registration information can be found HERE (http://www.profcs.com/SecureCart/SecureCart.aspx?mid=0A4E3CD9-8AFA-464B-ACFD-2BA5E1FCF8BE&pid=6977ef1ac07564f2aa0f416542e51c3d).

5 kettlebell-specific breathing techniques
12 foundational kettlebell lifts
29 kettlebell-specific joint mobility warm-up program
24 kettlebell-specific compensatory yoga cool-down program
various training protocols and programs for integrating within overall fitness, sports-performance, specific-applications.

What are the test criteria for certification, and are there any discounts for certified instructors?

The test criteria is:

1. Only Certified CST Instructors have the opportunity to pass.
2. Perform each of the skills with an RPT of 8 or higher.

There are not physical conditioning requirements because those will have been fulfilled as a CST by his/her ability to pass the Trial By Fire and the Flowfit Challenge.

I can attest that being trained by Jim Romig, it has helped our entire group become more proficient with our kettlebell lifting techniques. Next year I hope to go through this and the CST certification.

There seem to be multiple locations all associated with Fox Hall and Hampton Inn - what is the exact address, please?


EDIT: I can't seem to find any international flights to or from Bellingham International, or for that matter between BLI and Vancouver. Does anyone know of any local carriers that do transit, or even surface travel? Cheers for the help!

EDIT 2: Actually, scratch that. Just found a surface coach between Vancouver and BLI. Cheers, anyway :)
