Many Thanks to An Inspirational Instructor: Rating 10 out of 10The phrase “hard-working” does not even begin to describe Christine’s dedication not only to her clients but to her profession. To say the least it has been a rewarding experience to train with Christine, and to absorb the skills and knowledge she posseses. Christine goes above and beyond to motivate and encourage people to try new things and to believe in themselves. Personally, she has inspired me to push myself and test my capabilites.
I always enjoy learning new training techniques, and its an indescribable feeling when I can accomplish a goal I never thought I would be capable of doing.
Christine’s knowledge, positive attitude, ambition, and drive makes it a pleasure to train with her. And for me personally, she truely is my inspiration.

Kettlebell Training with the Best! Rated 10 out of 10
It has been my pleasure to work with Christine in her kettlebell workshop and personal training. I am much stronger and confident thanks to Christine. She is easy to work with and focuses on safety and proper technique so results are achieved quickly without hurting oneself. She keeps you focused and is very clear when giving instructions. Her training is never the same so your body doesn’t get used to repetition. Her positive attitude keeps you motivated when you think there isn’t anything more you can do. Because of her I love working with kettlebells. Thank you so much for everything.

A grateful student learns from a Master: Rated 10 out of 10
My experience training with Christine was very positive and informative. Her approach to kettlebell training was to put safety first and to focus on form and technique. It was educational for me because I knew nothing about kettlebells not even how to pick one up, each time I trained with her I learned something new. As I progressed, my lung capacity increased as well as my strength. I eventually got to a point where it became natural. She is a very skilled teacher and It was a pleasure to learn from her. I’ve watched her embrace kettlebell training wholeheartedly and earnestly and as a result of that she produced a quality of exercise that exceeded all my expectations.

Training experience unlike any other: Rated 10 out of 10
After having trainers in the past that I was not impressed with, I was reluctant to continue working again with a personal trainer. I joined US-1 Fitness and observed Christine working with her clients as well as observing her own personal fitness regimen. Her training style was out of this world, I could not keep my eyes off her. Her enthusiasm, dedication, and approach are second to none. All of her clients speak very highly of her.
I didn’t think twice about training with her and it has been a great experience. Her determination and love for her profession inspires me to work hard to acheive my goals. She is a superior advocate for total wellness.

Real Deal: Rated 10 out of 10
I just completed a 4 hour workshop with Juan and Christine and I was so impressed I felt they both deserved reviews. Christine is the real deal. She is lean, strong , fit and ripped. She is very serious about training and provided clear, positive and excellent instruction. All this combined with a friendly and caring personality and you have a outstanding instructor. I would highly recommend Christine to help you achieve your fitness goals. Be prepared to work.

An Exceptional Person, Trainer & Instructor: Rated 10 out of 10
Christine is a fabulous instructor. Not only is she a wonderful role model of what a kettlebell workout can do for one, she presents the instructions in a clear, loud voice with demonstrations to backup her oral explanation. In addition, Christine goes around to each and every person giving helpful direction in a supportive and encouraging manner. She presents the material well in an organized way to help each person better understand the method and safety rules involved. Even after the workshop Christine makes herself available. Because of her workshop I have purchased the RKC Kettlebells and have started immediately my own workout. I have experienced immediate effects with my legs feeling stronger, my inner thighs and buttocks tighter and my abdomen and upper body feels even more toned. Thank you Christine.

Workshop: Rated 10 out of 10
Juan and Christine’s kettlebell workshop was an amazing experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was quickly impressed with the amount of information that was presented. They were professional in their demonstrations and teachings. They were patient and encouraging. They focused on safety, and broke each exercise down step by step.

A master at her craft: Rated 10 out of 10
Christine taught a 4 hour kettlebell workshop this past Sunday 3/29/09 at my martial arts studio. Her ability to explain each movement so that the entire class could grasp the material was outstanding. She’s incredibly fit and leads by example. Her attention to detail made all the difference in the world so that each student was able to perform the basics of the kettlebell competently by the end of the workshop. I’m very impressed with Christine and look forward to having her back again real soon.

Kettlebell workshop in Coral Springs: Rated 10 out of 10
Christine is a wonderful instructor. I just took a four hour training class and was motivated the entire time. Christine was able to break down each and every movement for the class to follow. I found Christine very positive, informative and truly sold on the fitness level that Kettlebell training can help one achieve. Christine was patient and encouraging the entire time which allowed us to do our best. Thanks Christine!!

I love my kettlebells!! Rated 10 out of 10
I had personal trainers in the past but training with Christine since she became RKC has changed me physically and mentally.
Kettlebell training has made me focused, confident, and more competitive. My strength gains, endurance, and posture have improved dramatically. I would have never seen these positive changes if it wasn’t for Christine’s motivation and guidance.
I have maintained my weight loss which was always a struggle for me. In addition my muscle definition, firmness, and lifted glutes is deeply appreciated by my boyfriend.
My exitement and commitment to training with kettlebells has also inspired my brother to use them as well. Don’t let the nickname “mean Christine” discourage you from training with her. She will kill you, but she finds a way to make it a blast!

Hooked on Kettlebells! Rated 10 out of 10
I did a kettlebell workshop with Christine, my first experience with the technique. She is a very good instructor paying close attention to technique which I found very helpful as a newcomer. She also teaches by example. Being able to watch her do each move created a great visual to go by when trying to recreate that form. I can’t wait to kettelebell again and look forward to visiting her gym!

Excited to be working with the best again: Rated 10 out of 10
This is week 2 of 10 that I am working with Christine again and already I feel stronger and have more stamina. I am honored to have her as my instructor and appreciate her honesty when she corrects my form/technique or when I start to get lazy. Thank you for teaching me. I love my kettlebells thanks to you.

Great instructor and motivator!! Rated 10 out of 10
I have been training with Kettlebells for a while now, and I must say that I feel great! I have had the privilege of training with Christine at the class that she and Juan teach every Wednesday. I must say that they make a great team. Christine has a very positive attitude which promotes a great workout environment.
But let me warn you, They don’t call her the “Pittbull” for nothing!. She will let you have it if you are using bad form. She will make you do it over and over again until you get it right! She doesn’t care how tired you are! I can’t tell you how many times while I was training with her that I wanted to curse her out because I was so physically exhausted, but I know she was doing it for my own good. She just wants to make sure you do it right so you don’t hurt yourself and also make sure you get the most out of your workout.
All I have to say is that you won’t regret working out with Christine. Do you think you have what it takes? Why don’t you find out?

Congratulations on your RKCll !!!!!! Rated 10 out of 10
I would like to take time and congratulate Christine on achieving her RKCll Certification. It is an honor for ATP to have her as an RKCll Instructor in our facility. I was witness to all the hard work and sacrifice that she made to achieve this goal that was so important to her. I am extremely proud of what she has been able to do in such a short period of time in our field. Also, honored and blessed to have her as my business partner at ATP. Her work ethics towards her clients and her own personal training are second to none. If you are looking to learn proper kettlebell form, achieve results and are not afraid to work hard, Christine Bagiotti RKCll is the trainer to seek out in South Florida!

GREAT TRAINER AND MOTIVATOR: Rated 10 out of 10
I have had a number of different trainers throughout the years, and I can honestly say Christine is head and shoulders above the rest. She knows the proper techniques, and REQUIRES you to use them…She leads by example, and generally cares about her clients, and doesn’t just sit there and “count” like many other instructors do…Don’t expect an easy work-out….If you’re serious, then come to Christine..you’ll train, work hard, and learn HARDSTYLE!!!!

Very Strict Rated: 10 out of 10
This is the second time Christine has taught a 4 hour workshop at my martial arts academy. Once again her ability to convey the material was flawless. She wasn’t a cheer leader but a drill instructor who demanded the best from all the participants. She’s obviously very passionate about kettlebell training and fitness in general. Anyone who is looking to master the kettlebell should find a master and I would say that Christine is a master in my book.

Impressed!! Rated 9 out of 10
Christine is very knowledgeable and dedicated to her field. She and Juan did a 4 hr. workshop at the kickboxing school I attend. It was held on August 09, 2009. It came highly recommended as it was the second time for them. Christine is a spirited person who has great ability to teach by not only explaining in detail, but demonstrating with ease. She only made us do push-ups one time in 4 hours, so her excellent skills must have rubbed off on us right.

Hard Core Training :Rated 10 out of 10
I participated in my first kettlebell workshop this past weekend with Christine and Juan at R2K Kickboxing in Coral Springs. I am a huge fitness advocate and consider myself in good shape, YET in this 4 hour workshop I was challenged, called out on technique, worked every muscle in my body, pushed to exhaust myself so I could learn proper form and … LOVE IT! Christine is an excellent instructor that is highly committed to her workout, students and drives for excellence. She is very performance / technique conscious and strongly motivates others to strive for excellence and optimal results. I now have a great appreciation for the potential with kettlebells and looking forward to introducing them into my workout. Thanks Christine for a great workshop and sharing your passion for kettlebell training.

Superb and Tough: Rated 10 out of 10
Christine and Juan recently held a workshop at ATP featuring Andrea DuCane and Christine was a huge help in correcting my form, technique and pushing me a few notches further than I would have pushed myself! She is an incredible athlete and an inspiration to anyone wishing to master the kettlebell. I can’t say enough how well organized and welcomed I felt and look forward to attending workshops taught by Christine and Juan in the future; they have so much to offer and do so graciously.

Impressive Dynamo: Rated 10 out of 10
I have never actually trained under Christine’s tutelage, but I have used her web postings as form exemplars and attended a seminar that she choreographed. Watching her swing and snatch is very impressive, especially given her diminutive size. I have also watched her assist in FMS and was very impressed with her skill and attention to detail. Her own form appears to be flawless. I hope it is, because it is what I attempt to copy.

Helpful and supportive instructor: Rated 10 out of 10
Thanks for all of your help and support with me entering the Dragon Door team and HKC/RKC courses. The workshops with Andrea and Kenneth in November were the key, if you did not have those and invite me I would not be an HKC right now. Looking forward to seeing you soon and if you need any help with your HKC in March 2010 let me know.

Hell’s (Kettle)bells: Rated 10 out of 10
I just attended Christine and Juan’s kettlebell workshop and it was no joke. Highly technical and very effective. Christine pays great attention to detail and gives wonderful feedback, with a real focus on safety. She is the right combination of toughness and compassion in a trainer. I look forward to adding the kettlebell workouts to my CrossFit!

Great Instructor: Rated 10 out of 10
I took a basic workshop with Christine Bagiotti and it was awesome! She concentrated in technique and provided a highly motivated class. She spends time with each individual student and walks you step by step on each movement. It was a great workshop I highly recommended. Great Job Christine!

Christine was made for Kettlebells!! Rated 10 out of 10
I had the pleasure of taking the Kettlebell Instruction class at CrossfitAtp/KettlebellAtp in Dania, FL with instructor Christine Bagiotti.
Her dedication and passion for Kettlebell training is undeniable. Her drive to help everyone perfect the techniques required for kettlebell training is true dedication to this “sport”.
Being a professional athlete myself, Christine has helped to take my training to the next level. I feel with her as my instructor/mentor, I will also be able to become a RKC Instructor.

to all who read this review let it be known that this class was awesome. my wife and i both learned a lot from this class. now we are both excited to integrate kettlebells in to our work out!!!! CrossFit ATP is the place to be!!!!!!
bradley dillon – hollywood,fl usa
I recently joined Crossfit in Dania Beach after watching the kettlebell workout on-line. I was both scared and excited and couldn’t wait for Christina’s and Juan’s workshop.
I’m happy to say I survived the 4 hour workshop where we learned about the origin of the workout, the proper skill set needed and most importantly the safety when handling and excercising with the bells. Both Christina and Juan spent quality one on one time with each student as we practiced our new excerises.
Having my Pilates Instructor Certification, I’m well aware of the hours they both have spent perfecting their workshop!
Thank you so much for introducing me to kettlebells!
At the Orlando RKC this past weekend I had the opportunity to meet and receive help and guidance. from Christine.
She showed us nothing but Patience and kindness. She shared with us her knowledge and experiences. She listened to our questions and found the information and answers that we needed.
Christine encouraged us, pushed us to be better and stood by us with a smile and the tape in hand.
Thank you Christine for making this an incredible experience.
Christine is simply awesome. The Love of fitness shines through ever so boldly. Her ability to convey the techniques of KB work is unique, inspiring & confidence building. I’ve played with kettle bells in some past training and had some previous instruction, Confidence Low.
After the workshop hosted by Christine and Juan Bacca, I now have a very hi confidence in my ability to train kettle bells effectively and plan to incorporate KB training into my regular w/o regimen. You guys are a great tandem and I hope to do more training with you in the future.
Thanks for all that you do.
I have been working with Christine for about 3 months now. I took her Kettlebell workshop this past Saturday, and all I can say is that she is a TOP trainer and a true master at what she does. I have never done Kettlebells in my whole life, and during the time we spent with Christine, she always made sure everyone was working safely and hard. Her commitment to form, technique, power, safety, range of motion is outstanding. Christine shows every movement with amazing form and technique, there is no question in ones mind after seeing her, how a true kettlebell swing is supposed to be performed.
I can say from the bottom of my heart if you want to train with kettlebells, whether you are a newbie or a experienced athlete looking to improve form, power, technique, etc. she will make you a better Athlete period.
To finish I want to thank Christine for her hard work and dedication to her students. We really appreciate your support, knowledge and motivation.
I just completed Christine’s RKC Kettlebell Level 1 workshop, which summed up in one word was AWESOME. Christine is very passionate about her training and training others. She is tough in all the right ways. She explains everything thoroughly so everyone understands what and what not to do. Safety comes first with learning proper techniques.
I have been involved with Crossfit for almost three months at Christine’s gym. Members who have not taken the kettlebell workshop have to have the kettlebell exercises modified, which in the beginning I didn’t understand. After completing the workshop it all makes sense. Kettlebells are serious business and one could really hurt themselves if the proper technique is not understood. I am so happy that they do things correctly and prepare us well to prevent injury. I am so blessed to train at this gym.
