OPTI in Columbia, MD

Kettlebell training is a fantastic way to develop mobility, resilience, core strength, fat loss, strength and power. You will get into better shape than you ever imagined by attending our classes. Our endurance athletes are running faster, martial artists fighting harder and longer, and busy professionals are blasting through their day with added stamina and strength. Kettlebell training is for EVERYONE. From the overweight and sedentary individual, to the new mom looking to lose fat or the athlete wanting to increase power and performance. The key is having the right coach and a supportive environment.

There is no other program like ours in the area. Besides our high level of professional education and unparalleled experience, we boast the top RKC Kettlebell instructors in the state of Maryland. As kettlebells gain popularity in the states, despite their ancient history, many trainers are beginning to incorporate them into their programs. However, a kettlebell instructor who is not certified RKC is not to be trusted!

What is RKC? RKC is the only efficient, effective and complete kettlebell training certification in the country. RKC is a school of strength and movement, whose instructors are certified based on an actual ability to teach and PERFORM the skills required. Potential RKC instructors undergo intense training and preparation to perfect their skills, pass the RKC snatch test, and withstand three days of high level instruction and volume. It is an honor and a privilege to be called “RKC”. Our head kettlebell instructor is the first ever female RKC 2 in Maryland, and we boast the only two professionals in the state to be both RKC 2 and FMS certified. To learn more about RKC, visit the Dragon Door website.

Our group training is not merely a “kettlebell class.” We teach you proper body mechanics and how to correct movement patterns, while getting you strong, powerful and lean. Because we are certified and very well educated in the Functional Movement Screen and it’s strategies, we are able to identify weak links and imbalances in your body, and assist you in reducing pain and the risk of injury. We teach you solid concepts in strength and conditioning and nutrition in order to better your quality of life at the deepest levels. We take immense pride in our ability to provide one on one attention and instruction, therefore we do not allow more than 10 students per class. This intimate environment allows our students to truly excel.

We also adamantly require each and every student to  participate in our Intro Program prior to attending our all levels classes. This allows us to teach you the fundamentals of movement and kettlebell training, ensuring that your experience with us will be safe and effective. You may be attracted initially to groups that allow you to jump in and follow along, but ultimately you will miss out on the quality you deserve and you may even get hurt.

Our Intro to Group Performance Program includes:

  • A full Functional Movement Screen and the corrective strategies necessary to improve dysfunction and imbalances in movement patterns.
  • Two private training sessions with one of the foremost fitness experts in the state.
  • One month’s attendance to our beginner KB classes and metabolic conditioning classes.
  • Unlimited email support

Once you have completed the Intro Program, you will be able to sign up for our group performance membership. We would be honored if you chose us to coach you and guide you towards reaching your goals. For more information about our intro or kettlebell programs, email Neghar at negf03@yahoo.com.
