Burr Ridge Kettlebell Club

This facility offers world-​class kettlebell instruction. And I do not say that lightly.
Kettlebell is growing in popularity, but there only a precious few instructors who teach it correctly and have great depth of knowledge.
At Burr Ridge Ketllebell Club, you get some of the finest instructors you could ever find in Paul and Angie. Not only do they offer top-​notch coaching and advice, but they also have a wonderful positive attitude that gets you EXCITED to be working out and lifting weights.
Paul has helped me numerous times in dialing in my technique and making sure I get the most out of my training. His knowledge has been invaluable, and you can feel the passion in what he and Angie are trying to do.
BRKC will also ensure that you are safe in all your movements, and that’s not always true at other fitness facilities.
Paul and Angie have the best studio in town. This is THE place to invest in your health and fitness. My highest recommendation!

Burr Ridge Kettlebell Club — knowledgeable, well trained and caring staff. Form and safety top priority for all clients. The vibe is all about the client and their best possible outcome — regardless or age or fitness level. Angie and Paul share their passion, time and talent with each client.
I have been going since August ’14 — very unfit and inflexible. Now after 6 months I am thrilled each day at my budding strength and fitness level. It is a joy to go — the workout is simply fabulous and never boring.

Having resided on the West & East Coast I’ve trained with more than a handful of excellent trainers with different styles and trends.
I originally met Paul when searching for kettlebell instruction at a seminar held at his facility. Having exhausted online videos, books, and DVDs I realized the technical execution of kettlebell lifting required someone to visually critique your form. Someone who has extensive knowledge and experience with the kettlebell tool.
Well that seminar impressed me enough to become a member of his club. I’ve now been training at BRKC for over a year.
Why? I have had instruction in the past. Paul’s gym has a lot in common with a fitness laboratory. He’s excellent at teaching how to use kettlebells. His semi private custom training offers me a great workout. He’s helped me to realize some of my goals quicker than I would’ve on my own. I’ve dropped 7% body fat. What truly makes BRKC different… Paul mixes a wide variety of different techniques, some old-​school, some cutting edge, and his methods are not exclusive to kettlebells.
Paul and Angie both are dedicated to a lifestyle of being strong. I mentioned a laboratory, because they regularly experiment on themselves with innovative methods to implement for the club. They apply these techniques to help any walk of life to become the strongest expression of themselves.
Lastly they provide service with humility. I have experienced trainers who instruct from a perspective of superiority. At BRKC you’ll find intelligence, thoughtfulness, and training to enable you to live your life and do the things which are important to you with ease.
If you’re truly interested, you should come to visit the club. It’s that kind of place!

I have been working with the owners Paul & Angie at BRKC for the last 18 months. I began by participating in group classes 3 times per week with 3 – 6 participants in a group, and recently have moved into a custom program 3 days per week with a physical program designed exclusively for me. My flexibility has improved to the point where I can comfortably sit straight backed on my heels. BRKC has improved my core fitness, hip and leg strength, and my upper body strength. I have added muscle, lost body fat and weight.
Paul and Angie are always present and are eager to provide instruction, coaching, and feedback that allows me to get the most out of each routine. Club members are friendly and there is an atmosphere of support that makes all skill levels of participants feel like they belong.
This is the place if your looking for an exercise program that is targeted specifically for you and the goals you would like to achieve.

I highly recommend the BRKC. I have been attending Angie’s classes for over a year and can honestly say that her positive attitude is infectious. Both Angie and Paul are focussed on training with good form, which is so important to prevent injury. The sessions are challenging and program varies frequently to work different muscle groups, which keeps it interesting, too. I truly feel like I’ve accomplished something every time I finish. Great program for full body strength and fitness!

It has been an immense pleasure training at BRKBC. I have been lifting there since November 2013 and this is the first time I have been very consistent for weight training because the other students are very inspiring and motivating.

In short: Paul is a badass and a very welcoming trainer. He’s there to assist you in a healthy lifestyle via fitness & nutrition.
The facilities are very clean and the class sizes are small and personal. Paul makes sure you get the basics of KB training first. As he says: «an inch wide and a mile deep” – so much you can take away with the basics of functional training!
I’d recommend this place to fitness enthusiasts of all levels and commitments!

I went to the complimentary introductory class where I was taught how to correctly move with the kettlebells. I was also measured for flexibility and movement which was great to know where I am starting from. I’ve never really used the bells much so I’m glad the owner took the time to teach me and make sure I wouldn’t hurt myself. Paul was great! He made me do it over and over until I got it right. Here, they focus on form and quality, which is the most important. Prices are very reasonable, too.
There’s also the house dog, Blacktop (great name) to hang out with after or before your workouts, which, for me, is a bonus :) He’s super cute and friendly.
Can’t wait to go back!
