The Life Changing Transformation from Back Pain and 3 Cesareans to a Kettlebell Body for Life
The Kettlebell Body Life Changing Transformation
From Back pain to no pain with kettlebells. From 3 C-sections to a strong body with kettlebell training. Read a snippet of Robyn's story below. This is very common among many women. Many years ago I did an inspiration story of Robyn and her husband David after they both transformed their bodies using kettlebells properly both in person with me and using my DVD programs at home on their own. You can read the old blog post here.... since then they moved and ended up being blessed with a third child and another C-section. It was time to update to show this has been a life long journey. Keep reading to find out!
“I was very fearful of trying Kettlebells because of my weak back and pain I had experienced. Lauren explained how it can strengthen my back so I took a private class with Lauren a few months before becoming pregnant with my second child and began using her Ultimate Body Sculpt and Conditioning with Kettlebells volume 1 kettlebell DVD. During my second pregnancy, I did not suffer from lower back pain. After my second baby was born (and yes, another c-section) I decided I would shed the weight by doing kettlebell fitness classes.
I kept telling Lauren I was fearful of using heavier weights because I didn’t want to “bulk up” and I was still being very cautious in regards to my “weak back.” After using kettlebells diligently 3-5 times a week for a year now I can see that my body is much leaner and I finally have defined muscles (which I have never had before) but absolutely no “bulkiness.” My back is so much stronger than it used to be as is my core.
3 C sections later and I’m now stronger and leaner and in the best shape of my life. ’”
Robyn Josephs Sacks is now a kettlebell fitness instructor and teaches classes in the Fresno area. You can email her here to check out her classes. She became KEFI certified under a 2 day intensive instructor course I taught. More info on that as I plan on certifying many more inspiring people.

WEEKEND OVERVIEW
BATTLING ROPES/BEYOND BODYWEIGHT SYSTEMS COURSE OVERVIEWIn this section of the course, Battling Ropes creator John Brookfield, will teach on the importance of sustaining velocity and why it is a missing link in training today. Velocity is strength and speed combined so, when the user learns to sustain velocity the athlete makes functional transferrable gains in both strength and speed. These gains can be applied to your workouts or to competition itself.Even though many trainers and athletes mingle with the Battling Ropes there are very few who understand or know the different progressions and concepts of the training system. Please understand that the system cannot be mastered and there are always higher levels which can be tapped into. In this course the attendees will learn these different concepts and progressions so they can safely teach their clients or implement these principles into their own training or competition. Below are a few of the concepts you will learn in the course.1- SUSTAINING VELOCITY - Learn not only how to create velocity but also how to sustain velocity. These concepts will teach the user how to train or compete at a higher level of intensity over longer durations of time.2- PUSH/PULL STRENGTH - This Battling Ropes method teaches and forces the user to actually push and pull at the same time with the results being a much higher level of strength from different planes and angles as well as much better body awareness which transfers into less chance of injury.3- Climbing the Mountain - This concept will teach the user how to greatly enhance the intensity and difficulty of the training in a safe manner which will create a much higher level of work capacity. This higher level of work capacity will transfer into any sport or battlefield.4- Partner and Team Training - John Brookfield will show how to implement the Battling Ropes concepts while working with a partner and training an entire group, team or unit. BEYOND BODYWEIGHT TRAININGJohn Brookfield will introduce his Beyond Bodyweight Training System which is completely unique to anything else you have seen. These exercises, drills and principles will take your strength and endurance to the next level while enhancing your movement skills. These drills and exercises are very safe yet will push even the best athletes to stay on task and work through the difficulty.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT JOHN'S BATTLING ROPES SYSTEM AND LAUREN'S KETTLEBELL FITNESS TRAINING?
TESTIMONIALS
"As an ex-NFL player and college football coach, John has given me another way to train my athletes with his Battling Ropes. John's Battling Ropes system develops mid-line stabilization, digital strength and, best of all, an intense anaerobic workout that can be used for any sport or occupation. Strength training at high intensity transfers into power and speed and this is what John has developed with his Battling Ropes system. "
Andy Hendel Former NFL special teams captain, Miami Dolphins
Owner, CrossFit Charlotte
"There are a few words that describe John Brookfield’s Battling Ropes System:
Humbling – because it will tax your entire system in short order (60 seconds or less) regardless if you’re a world-class athlete or a novice.
Relentless - like the ocean surf pounding big rocks into grains of sand.
Versatile – the gains of strength, stamina, and power are mind-blowing.
Simple & Safe – suitable for handicapped, sedentary, and elite athletes.
I highly recommend John Brookfield’s innovative and challenging Battling Ropes System, DVD and workshop. "
Jeff Martone Tactical Athlete Training Systems, Inc.
"John Brookfield is one of the most innovative and original strength coaches in the business today. His new Battling Ropes system is an amazing approach to total fitness. The ropes are a whole body exercise approach that would benefit any athlete. I am now incorporating his techniques in my arsenal of moves for all my jiu jitsu fighters and submission wrestlers. The combination of strength, stamina, and cardio needed to get those ropes moving puts the finishing touch on my fighter's workouts.
Steve Maxwell Two-Time Brazillian Jiu Jitsu World Champion
Owner, Maxercise Sports/Fitness Training Center
"Knowing John Brookfield has been a blessing for me. His 'old fashioned gentleman' demeanor is contrasted with his physical prowess and manual strength demonstrated in his 'strongman' performances. He understands how to build manual strength and has been a leader in novel approaches such as his Battling Ropes techniques. John has some valuable lessons to teach all those interested in strength."
Stuart McGill, PhD Professor of Spine Biomechanics
"John Brookfield can't count...
And that makes him one smart coach. John's primary focus is work capacity, task management, and technical efficiency. He uses fundamental patterns and simple equipment to create loads. Sets and reps don't really apply to the exercise equation. Persistence, patience, and safety are hallmarks of John's work. Don't just watch - do what John does. You will learn from both ends - his coaching and your movement experience.
Gray Cook, MSPT, CSCS Creator and Developer, The Functional Movement Screen, FMS
"John Brookfield's Battling Ropes are a unique way to train yourself or your athletes for the up most conditioning for all sports. Football, baseball, MMA, it does not matter. Besides being a great conditioner, it will build a death grip. It's not just for rehab, but more importantly for prehab. I have a shoulder socket replacement and my range of motion has increased greatly. The ropes can be a serious training partner for sore shoulders or to push your cardio and muscular endurance. The DVDs that John presents are amazing. If you train alone or with training partners I highly recommend Battling Ropes to be a part of your workouts.
Louie Simmons Owner, Worlds Strongest Gym, Westside Barbell
" The modern day originator of Ropes training, arguable the strongest hands in the world and an unexpected endurance athlete - John Brookfield is all of this and more. If you are looking for the best information on training with Ropes then look no further because John has an extensive system with his Battling Ropes Training that is top notch.
Brett Jones, Master RKC SFG, CSCS, CK-FMS

I’ve been following you for several years and worked with you in distant sessions, so there was NO WAY I was going to miss the opportunity to meet and learn from you in person.I am constantly amazed and impressed at how genuine you are and the amount of knowledge and experience you are so willing to share. Even though it was a long, packed day, I came away energized and with so many immediately applicable tips, cues, corrections and information. I even had a few “a-ha” moments with my own technique. There is nothing like having the eyes of a master on you to raise the level of your own skill.You have been hugely instrumental in my growth as a kettlebell enthusiast all the way through now to being a Kettlebell coach. It was an honor and dream for me to get to share space with you. Denice and Beth can attest to that as I didn’t stop talking about it all weekend :-) All in all, that honestly was one of the highlights of my entire life. I look forward to the day I get to work with you again.

It was an honor and dream for me to get to share space with you. Denice and Beth can attest to that as I didn’t stop talking about it all weekend :-) All in all, that honestly was one of the highlights of my entire life. I look forward to the day I get to work with you again.
