About
Farrah Lin, RKC: Russian Kettlebell Certified Trainer, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, Functional Movement Specialist
Farrah Lin is a native San Diegan. Growing up, she was not physically active. In fact, she received a C in physical education during high school.She also struggled with emotional eating.
When she was 19, she cleaned up her eating habits and began doing step-aerobics. She has been interested in nutrition and exercise ever since.
At 23, she hired a personal trainer at 24 Hour Fitness. He was instrumental in getting her to lift heavy weights, reassuring her that lifting heavy would not bulk her up. He also taught her to focus on large muscle groups.
She heeded his advice and was pleased with the results.
In January 2008, she and her husband started training with kettlebells. After a few months, she fell in love with kettlebell training. The results were amazing.
She increased muscle mass and lost fat, including the dreaded cellulite.
She feels that her body and mind are much stronger. Her favorite exercises are the Turkish Get-Up and the snatch, even though they did not come easy. She continues to do traditional strength training and still takes her step-aerobics classes. She is so passionate about kettlebells that she even takes her kettlebell on vacation.
Charlie Fields, RKC: Russian Kettlebell Certified Trainer, Licensed Am I Hungry?® Facilitator
From a young age (13), Charlie was on a mission to find the easiest and most enjoyable way to exercise and eat to look and feel great.
You see, his mother was a diet freak who served him broiled skinless chicken every weeknight. In his house, the only sweets you could find were pitted prunes. And yet, somehow both he and his sister managed to become overweight.
This didn't make sense. He knew there had to be a better way.
His friend Rachel was thin, yet her pantry was stocked with potato chips and Fruity Pebbles. He knew because he ate them all when he catsat for her family (it was part of the payment?).
On his quest for thinness, he tried such dreadful things as the cabbage soup diet (hey, the first three bowls tasted good!), Slow Burn weight-lifting, step aerobics, and The Zone.
Even though he went to the gym faithfully, he found himself working way too hard and getting a body that was only average.
To make a long story short, he discovered kettlebells. Finally, a workout that actually reshaped his body! Around the same time, he took an Am I Hungry?® Workshop and learned how to stop overeating and break free from dieting for good. Now he looks and feels incredible.
And so can you!
