DKB increased our studio membership almost 250% during 2009. We think its incredible too – but frankly, we're not surprised. Santa Fe is quickly discovering what all the fuss is about.
We use kettlebells to increase endurance, flexibility, and strength simultaneously. We integrate Z-Health to eliminate your pain, stave off injuries, and improve your athletic performance. This results in a high-output interval workout which gives you the best results for your effort. Not only will you use your fat resources to feed your workout, you’ll be building stronger, leaner muscle which will in turn raise your metabolism and continue to burn your extra fat – even when you’re not working out. You will feel fantastic.
And we do all this in a group atmosphere approximately 25 times every week so that our members have ample opportunity to find classes that reflect your kettlebell skills level, meet your body transformation goals and fit into your schedule. Plus, all of our trainers are certified kettlebell experts and work hard to ensure your form supports your function. Learn more about our trainers here.
