Here’s what Amy has to say about classes at RAD Boot Camp…
Discover your potential…
“I started working with Brad and RAD Boot Camp in January 2007, …he allows me to make choices and then be held accountable for the outcome – good or bad. Case in point: nutrition. I did not want to change my eating habits. Brad let me pay the consequences of that decision. When I was ready to change, he told me straight out what I NEEDED to hear, but didn’t necessarily WANT to hear. In other words, he gave me a good, swift, verbal kick in the hind end. No sugar coating – just the truth.
Yes, I’ve lost weight and body fat through my training with Brad. Yes, I am in the best shape I have probably ever been in. (I’m a 36 year old mother of two and a lifelong athlete.) Yes, I love the RAD Boot Camp workouts Brad puts together.
BUT…… The reason I recommend Brad so highly is because he is a true teacher. A true teacher is someone who helps you discover skills and knowledge you possess but just don’t know how to tap into. A true teacher prepares you for the time when the teacher is not around to guide you. A true teacher sees the potential in you and leads you to see it too. A true teacher doesn’t give you the answers; he asks the questions and makes you find the answers. Brad is true teacher.
If you’re ready to find the person you really are, contact Brad TODAY!!!!”

Amy in the HOT SEAT…
Brad: Take me back a few years…where you were physically, mentally, etc… Everything previous to RAD Boot Camp / Kinetic Edge / Kettlebells?
Amy: I am a mother of two – my first was born in 1998 and my second in 2001. I had gained 20 pounds with each pregnancy, but had lost most of the weight through nursing. In March 2003, my husband and I took a 10th wedding anniversary trip to Las Vegas. I saw the photos of myself after the trip and was stunned. I had seen myself in the mirror, but I hadn’t really SEEN myself. I had gained back all the weight I had lost. I looked tired and well beyond my 32 years. I looked like a frumpy mommy and I dressed like one. I was in denial about how I really looked. I wore skirts and dresses a lot so that I wouldn’t have to buy larger clothes. I didn’t want to admit that my size 14 clothes were getting too small.
Brad: What were your biggest frustrations about your body?
Amy: I was most frustrated with my saddlebags, my wings, and my sausage arms.
Brad: What else have you tried?
Amy: In the summer of 2003 I started walking and running. In the fall of 2003 I added weight training. I had been an avid weight lifter in college, so it was fun for me to get back into that. I lifted weights and ran on the treadmill or elliptical machine for two years. I didn’t lose any weight. In early 2006 I was introduced to kettlebells by a friend. I started some sporadic kettlebell training along with my weight lifting and running. I lost 10 pounds. I was excited that something finally worked.
Brad: How did you meet Brad / come into contact with RAD Boot Camp / Kinetic Edge / Kettlebell Training?
Amy: I met Brad through the Dragon Door online forum
in late 2006. He responded to a question I posted, and that started our correspondence, which led to me hiring Brad as my personal boot camp trainer in January 2007.
Brad: Were you skeptical to try RAD Boot Camp / Kinetic Edge / Kettlebell training?…
Why?
Amy: I was ready for the focus and challenges I would face. I was ready to change my life for the better. I had no idea just how much my life would actually change.
Brad: Describe your first experience with RAD Boot Camp / Kinetic Edge / Kettlebell training…
Amy: Brad took the time to get to know me. He watched how my body moved, he assessed my fitness level, and he took my mental temperature. He asked for my feedback on the training so he could make adjustments.
Brad: What was different about RAD Boot Camp from anything else you’ve tried?
Amy: Brad learned about what makes me tick, how much I am willing to push myself, and how much pushing I need from him. Because he did this, he has been able to give me the personalized training I need.
Brad: Were there any myths busted for you at the boot camp? (i.e. women getting bulky, men participating in an “step aerobics class”).
Amy: As I get stronger, I get leaner. In the past few months, I haven’t dropped many pounds, but I’ve dropped several inches. I am tall – 5’11” – and I lift heavy kettlebells (20 and 24 kg), but I do not have big, bulky muscles. I recently completed the SSST – 200 kettlebell snatches with the 16 kg (35 lb) kettlebell in 10 minutes. That requires a lot of strength and endurance. RAD boot camp training has allowed me to develop my strength and endurance to levels I have never attained before, even as a high school and college athlete.
Brad: What specific changes have you seen in your body/ confidence / attitude? (clothes size change, inches lost, bodyfat lost, pounds lost)?
Amy: I’ve dropped over 11% bodyfat and 23+ pounds. I went from a size 14 to a size 8. I am not finished yet! I’m still a work in progress, but the progress so far has been amazing.
Brad: What’s your favorite body part now AFTER your transformation? Why?
Amy: I love my abs because I can see each muscle.
Brad: What is your #1 “secret” as to why you finally got the results you were looking for?
Amy: I made the commitment to myself. I was tired of failing, so I chose to do something different. What I had been doing obviously wasn’t working. The physical changes I’ve gone through are merely the outward sign of changes in my thinking and lifestyle. My life looks nothing like it did a few years ago. I train differently; I think about myself differently; and I definitely eat differently. All three had to click before I saw results.
Brad: What would you tell someone like yourself who is on the fence about starting RAD Boot Camp / Kinetic Edge classes?
Amy: Every day I am reminded of how grateful I am for Brad’s coaching. He taught me about myself and helped me find the strength inside myself to reach my goals.
Brad: Sum up RAD Boot Camp / Kinetic Edge classes in 5 WORDS OR LESS…
Amy: challenging
life-changing
thought-provoking
fun
fulfilling
Killer RESULTS Amy! Keep up the great work!
Crank it!
