Aaron Gonzales

Aaron Gonzales was introduced to the KettleBell as a weight lifting tool in May 2008 and was enlightened. He then decided to attend a workshop to become more knowledgeable about the KettleBell; he came across the Dragon Door website and signed up for the RKC Instructor Workshop, under the presumption he would learn new weight lifting techniques. Two weeks prior to the workshop Aaron was introduced to “RKC hard style”, and began to really grasp the KettleBell’s true ability. He trained privately with Jeff Mccombs and Lulin Tsai who gave him an exceptional two-week crash course. During the workshop, Aaron desired to become an instructor realizing the KettleBell could change his life and the life of his clients. Fortunately(yes fortunately), Aaron did not pass the October 2008 workshop, but he returned home with the knowledge and determination to come back and learn the “RKC Hard style” system intricately and perfect his technique. Aaron trained daily and also trained privately with Dr. Mark Cheng, his friend and mentor. He successfully became a certified RKC instructor in February 2009. In addition to the KettleBell, Aaron has thrived on living a healthy lifestyle, which includes a daily vigorous workout routine and healthy eating. Aaron wants to help others become physically fit and help them reach their goals. With that in mind Aaron has also become a Certified Kettlebell-Functional Movement Specialist           ( www.functionalmovement.com) and an ACSM certified personal trainer. Aaron has changed his approach to fitness, training, and rehabilitation. No new gimmicks, shiny new toys or trend hopping (he has bought numerous infomercial gadgets from P90X to Bender balls). Aaron has stayed true to his system, which guarantees results; and that is a 100% money back guarantee. As a Functional movement specialist, movement patterns are a #1 priority which includes correcting asymmetries, stability, and or mobility issues. These issues are addressed during the mandatory functional movement screening. The kettlebell and RKC is the tool and system used to correct movement patterns. Aaron has lost 70 lbs. and has since started training in jiu-jitsu. He has won silver at the Gracie nationals and also silver at the Worlds jiu-jitsu tournament having only trained for three and eight months respectively. Kettlebells, great coaching, and desire have allowed these milestones to become a reality. Aaron helps you approach your goals in life and fitness just as if they were his own. He gets just as much satisfaction if not more than you will, just being there to guide and push you so you can surpass your goals and go above and beyond what you thought possible.
