Kettlebells: A New Fitness Phenomenon Taking Shape in Chicago

Aug. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- “Kettlebell workouts are the most effective and efficient tool for getting in shape and losing body fat”, says Rhodes.  “My workouts produce double the results in half the time and are a much safer way to train than regular weights and dumbbells.”


With Summer here and the Chicago Marathon fast approaching Chicagoans might be asking: How can I get fit fast?  Look no further than Rhodes Fusion Fitness founder Prentiss Rhodes who has taken an old Russian bodybuilding technique of kettlebells ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettlebell  ) and made it new again.

Rhodes says, “Kettlebells build strength & endurance, improve flexibility and tone your body while promoting weight loss.”


Kettlebells have been gaining national attention. The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article on kettlebells: ( http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB121018652707174445-lMyQjAxMDI4MTEwMjExODI2Wj.html )
Meanwhile, marathon runners, grandparents, mothers of three, young professionals and athletes from all over Chicagoland are making there way to the no-frills, results-oriented gym – Rhodes Fusion Fitness (538 N. Western Ave.) in the emerging West Town neighborhood to work out with master trainer – Prentiss Rhodes – to reclaim their physiques and build strength.  With a series of well-crafted, sequential movements utilizing Russian kettlebells, members are amazed at the results and people of all ages are getting in on the action.

As expected with any new trend, Kettlebells are also becoming popular among Hollywood celebrities and professional athletes who use the similar techniques to what Rhodes teaches at his studio.
