How I got to know about Kettlebells?
'I first got to know the kettlebells in the Functional Training Summit, Long Beach L.A. Then I started to explore this type of training and to mix it with yoga and Pilates. As far as I know I'm the only one in our country who studies this training. Also I read an article in an Israeli daily newspaper about kettlebells and learned through that about Tommy Matthews, searched Optimal Life Fitness on Google, found you and got to the Extreme Kettlebell Instructor Training course.'

Uri, the Optimal Life Fitness Team wish you the best of luck with all of your career developments and success with your business. Thanks for coming to the courses.

All the Best
Tommy
