Black Dog Fitness

Fantastic experience: Renah is a fantastic instructor! She took time to dig in and correct form while not overwhelming me with trying to get every little thing perfect. She also brings wonderfully positive energy with her and makes you feel like she might just be your biggest fan.

Fantastic experience: Renah is a total professional and obviously loves kettlebell work. I sought out an SFG (StrongFirst Girevik/Girevichka) and she is the only listed Level II SFG in St. Louis, so for me there was nowhere else to go for a personal training session. I have been to 2 trainings with Renah as needs developed in my Simple & Sinister kettlebell work. Renah takes time to pay attention to her student's form and asks pertinent questions that allows her to tweak movements and explain things in ways that sink in kinesthetically. She also doesn't hesitate to take a little extra time with you to make sure your session is what you needed. Renah cares about the work of instructing. She summarizes her findings and instruction with a report that includes photos and video clips of before and after work and extra info that may help with one's weak areas. If you need help with kettlebell work then you need a StrongFirst certified instructor. In St. Louis, Renah is that instructor.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience learning new body weight exercises designed to help me get my strength back after an injury. I feel more confident now to get my body and mind back into shape.

Fantastic experience: Whether you are new to kettlebells, or looking to fine tune mechanics, go see Renah at Black Dog Fitness. It is a beautiful studio, and she knows her stuff. I did an hour training session to refine my swing, and made a ton of progress thanks to her great instruction. Her clear cues and thoughtful communication helped me so much, as did the video and photos of our session. Can't say enough good things about Black Dog Fitness!
