BART STEWART
Known as "The Reverend" for his bombastic mannerisms and evangelical enthusiasm, Bart Stewart is an IKFF-certified kettlebell instructor under Steve Cotter and certified Crossfit Kettlebell Instructor under Jeff Martone of Tactical Athlete. Possessed of a devout passion for kettlebells, he has over three years of experience in kettlebell instruction, and his client list has included a group as diverse as UFC contenders, world-champion skydivers, and touring professional comedians.
His approach to training is simple and based on a quote from one of his personal heroes, president Theodore Roosevelt; "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" and tempered by the words of Friedrich Nietzsche; "That which does not kill me only serves to make me stronger". He promises not to kill you. But to make you stronger, you're gonna have to put in the work.

DAVID BRASHEAR
David Brashear has been working with kettlebells as Bart's senior student for over two years and in 2009 certified under Jeff Martone of Tactical Athlete as a Crossfit Kettlebell Instructor. A lifelong chronic asthmatic, David first got involved with kettlebells to boost his respiratory capacity. After discovering the benefits of Russian iron to his strength and overall health, he never looked back.
David is possessed of an accommodating demeanor that makes students who are otherwise uncomfortable in a heavy training environment feel at ease. Having overcome physical difficulties himself, he shares an understanding with those looking to overcome their own obstacles in developing strength.
