Testimonials from the Inaugural Ageless Body Workshop:

“ANDREA TEACHES YOU TO HEAL THE BODY FOR LONGEVITY”

” Excellent experience. I arrived with hip, shoulder and back pain. On the first day after following the mobility exercises the hip pain went away, lower back is almost gone and shoulder is feeling better.

I now know what exercises I’m doing incorrect. I have lots of homework to fix moves I’ve been doing incorrectly for years.

Healing my injuries to continue my KB training, correcting my kettlebell moves, help me understand limitations of clients, I’ll use the mobility moves in my classes and got some easy and functional routines to use in class with my clients.

Andrea is a great instructor. She can see your mistakes easily and help you fix them. Andrea teaches you to heal the body for longevity.

I’ve done KB training with other certifications organizations and HKC. I’m certified in ECF Function Training (Bootcamp), Battle Ropes, Fitness INS, Indian Clubs, Fitness Kick Boxing to name a few. Andrea fixed some of the mistakes that the other KB organization gave me.

Compared to other fitness training Ageless Body is more education and great healing exercises for longevity. It was more than I expected.”

“THIS WORKSHOP WAS UP THERE WITH SOME OF THE BEST WORKSHOPS I HAVE ATTENDED”

“It was a fabulous experience for me, learning new practices for myself but also for my aging clients. Andrea possesses a vast and varied “tool Box.”

I love her hands on approach. She completely understands the human body and potential. She is clear and direct in her verbal cues and knows exactly how to mold someone into correct alignment through both verbal and “touch” cues.

I really thought this workshop was up there with some of the best workshops I have attended. Thank you!”

- Cecily Casey, RKC, Owner of North Shore Kettlebell Club

“HAS THE ABILITY TO CORRECT WITHOUT MAKING A PERSON UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT THE CORRECTIONS”

Very good experience, learned new details within the various exercises, drills that were covered to allow me to get the most out of them. Seeing how Andrea was able to pick up on the smallest of details and make corrections shall help me improve my coaching.

Great reinforcement of the deadlift and swing patterns which will help keep me in the proper position to avoid back soreness. Tying in the mobility work to the kettlebell work gave me some great ideas that I hope to apply to my swim coaching. It’s all connected.

Andrea has a great ability to find the little details that can totally change the way an exercise/movement is done. Has the ability to correct without making a person uncomfortable about the corrections. Seeing her perform the moves reinforces everything she is teaching – just a great instructor.

This was as good as any clinic I have attended. The two days all covered of more detail than was covered in the HKC I attended. I would encourage you to to continue to offer this as there are so many that can benefit. I really like that there were so many different levels of kettlebell experience in the people that attended. Helped show how you never have to adjust the teaching to each individual.

Mike Dorsch, Former Runner and Masters Swimmer and Coach

” THE TRAINING AND KNOWLEDGE PROVIDED BY ANDREA WAS PRICELESS “

I will definitely walk differently with greater body awareness. The training and knowledge provided by Andrea was priceless. The corrections and explanation to what individuals like myself were doing incorrectly was comprehensive. Adjust and correcting for instabilities offered a great understanding of body awareness.

- Roxanne Wightman, Zumba, TRX Certified

“ALL OF THE INFORMATION WAS PRACTICAL AND EASILY RELATED TO MUNDANE ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES”

” Awe inspiring and humbling experience. The instruction and sharing of information on many levels sets a great example of how to be a more effective coach. Thanks Andrea.

Andrea has a warm and engaging style of imparting knowledge and skills in a manner that makes all level of seminar participents comfortable. Simply put some people repeat what they have learned, while others share the wisdom of their experiences.

The quality of the material was superior, the scope of the material was broad in respect to the variety of elements involved in building mobility, flexibility and strength yet specific in methods that can be useful in improving in these areas.

All of the information was practical and easily related to mundane activities as well as athletic activities.”

Chris Baxter, 2nd Degree Black Belt (Karazempo), Certified Muay Thai (AFMTB), Former WKA and WPKA North American Amateur Kickboxing Champion, Certified Crossfit Kettlebell Instructor

“THE AGELESS BODY WORKSHOP IS THOROUGH AND THOUGHTFUL WITH A CLEAR PURPOSE”

“Andrea is a master of explaining the basics and showing how those moves apply to more advanced moves.

Andrea has an eye for detail that helps you understand what you are doing and why.

Andrea’s focus on form and biomechanics rather than competition provides students with a solid foundation for improvement and excellence in the future. Andrea practices what she preaches.

The Ageless Body Workshop is thorough and thoughtful with a clear purpose and integrated exercises and frills. Others seem more random.”

- April Spas, RKC

“I’VE BEEN TO PLENTY OF WORKSHOPS IN MY FITNESS CAREER AND THIS TOPS THEM ALL!”

“This workshop is the best and most useful that I have attended. I’ve been to plenty of workshops in my fitness career and this tops them all!!

I found the flexibility drills, the modifications of what was shown and the friendliness and helpfulness of the group leaders useful. I believe that Andrea loves what she does and she lives it! It is wonderful to watch her teaching style – she does not set herself up and aloof – but very approachable.

She was not condescending but genuinely concerned and quite helpful. The quality of the presentations were second to non – scope of material was comprehensive but not over my head.

Practical use drills continue on with what I’ve learned and expect to be more youthful and vital in appearance and carriage. Thank you!

“THE INFORMATION AND UNDERSTANDING THAT ANDREA WAS ABLE TO CONVEY WAS PURE GOLD”

Learning from Andrea DuCane was a phenomenal experience. She is a master as a teacher and is exceptional at conveying information and understanding to all levels.

Excellent ability to teach beginner to advance participants at the same time offering great benefit to all. Extraordianry detailed instruction. The information and understanding that Andrea was able to convey was pure gold.

Many, many aha moments. Andrea is not only an exceptional instructor, she is genuinely nice, and devoted to teaching kettlebells to helping others. Unparalled! Learned great detail and breakdown of each exercise.

Excellent drills to teach correct movement. Learning the “correct” form of exercises I thought I was doing correctly.

-Karen Gallo, San Diego, CA

“THIS WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY INTRO TO KETTLEBELL TRAINING”

Fantastic. This was an extraordinary intro to kettlebell training. Andrea’s use of Z-Health and screens &FMR will be useful for my work & training immediately tomorrow & now. The highest quality. I can’t describe on how many levels this will benefit my life.

I realize I’ll have to really restructure my lifestyle and much of my thought process in order to create a platform for growth…BUT first a platform from which to expand (flexibility), change (mobility) and then to EXPLODE with new strength. There were moments in class that Andrea imparted these golden nuggets of wisdom that brought tears to my eyes because they contained wisdom that spoke directly to my heart (Z-Health).

I was able to stop when I was tired or overwhelmed or afraid or had a negative thought. In other workshop I’ve been injured because I didn’t feel safe to honor my limits.

“THIS CLASS DROVE HOME THE ESSENTIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT AND KETTLEBELL WORKOUTS AND THE BODY’S NATURAL ABILITY TO STAY YOUNG, HEAL ITSELF AND KEEP VIBRANT”

From a bodyworker’s standpoint, this class drove home the essential relationship between functional movement and kettlebell workouts and the body’s natural ability to stay young, heal itself and keep vibrant.

Andrea is just freakin’ awesome. Funny, light hearted but very professional. One on one spotting by Andrea and her lectures and demonstrations were useful.

- Pamela Paul, Licensed Massage Therapist

“I LEARNED HOW TO MODIFY SEVERAL KETTLEBELL EXERCISES TO ALLOW ME TO PERFORM THEM WITH GOOD FORM AND WITHOUT ROUNDING MY BACK”

There were new ideas, reinforcement of things I had learned before. Great instruction. Broad scope. Good group interaction.

The training was invaluable. I learned how to modify several kettlebell exercises to allow me to perform them with good form and without rounding my back. I also learned that it is OK to use a chair or other support if needed for balance. Andrea gave everyone personal attention in a respectful manner.

There was much more on mobility training flexibility. I appreciated learning the fine points of the flexor stretch. The partner exercises were good for learning how to pack the arm and to pull down into the squat. The scope of material was beyond what I have experienced in the past.
