Success Stories
“I love the new Kettlebody by Brook workouts. I think I need to get a 10lb Kettlebell for some of the moves in the bell body sculpt one; my 15lb pound is a bit too heavy. I love Yogaburn! It’s so nice to have a short yoga workout to do that is sweat inducing.”
Kris Kramer, Yoga Instructor, Clawson, MI
“Being age 53, fairly new to exercise , totally new to kettlebell and never exercised 6 days a week, I was apprehensive that the workout would be too intense. I started Kettlebody by Brook with a 7 lb kettlebell but did advance to using both 7 and 10 lb. The first week I did take lots of breaks and pause as Brook recommends if needed in the video. I was sore, but in a good way and so glad I stuck with it. I was amazed at how quickly my endurance and strength improved. I did have to do the modifications for push-ups and yoga chaturanga . After 8 weeks I am proud to say that I lost 2 inches from my waist, and dramatically toned my legs & butt and defined my arms. I enjoyed the videos because they were easy to follow and Brook continues to provide reminders about form. I appreciate that she does all the technique in a separate chapter so as to keep the momentum going in the videos. The time that each workout takes is great since there are no excuses not to be able to fit into daily routine. I am hooked on Brook’s videos now and looking forward to doing the Butts & Guts next!”

“I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how much I love your workout Kettlebell: Butts and Guts. I am fairly new to kettlebells, and have just recently purchased this workout when I bought my GoFit kettlebell. It has literally transformed my body within the short time I’ve been doing this workout. I can’t express how much I love the high rep cardio effect I get from this workout. As a mom of two small children, I always appreciate a workout that gets the most bang for your buck when looking to shed some serious baby weight.”
Kristy Rossman, Chicago, IL
“KB workout has SAVED me in the last couple of weeks. I’ve had 2 foot surgeries and am unable to do any high impact work. By doing Kettlebell: Butts & Guts 2-3 times a week, with a few modifications to accomodate my injury, I have retained my strength, sanity and actually feel pretty good physically despite this pain on my foot. Thanks Brook!”
Fatima Mendoca, Boston, MA
When I first started the Kettlebody by Brook program, I only wanted to lose a few pounds and tone my body. Little did I know it would change my whole outlook on my health and fitness. I lost over five pounds, almost two inches off my waist (which in my book is a miracle) and really toned my arms and legs like never before and best of all gained self confidence. Five pounds might not sound like a lot to some of you, but to me those last five pounds were the hardest. Now, I did not get these results with working out alone. I used My Fitness Pal everyday to journal my food intake and also made some great recipes I got from Brook’s website - http://cardiopump.com/category/recipes/ . I really hope that some how my changes can inspire you to make a change in your life. God gave us the bodies to do wonderful things with so without our health what can we do? Thanks to Kettlebody by Brook I now am at a much higher fitness level. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, energetic workout with great results in little time.”

“I have a bad neck & back from a 1991 car accident and I was able to get these results even though I couldn’t do the wood chops and had to modify the push ups/hovering (with Kettlebody by Brook). Also being over 40 with an autoimmune disease can make it harder to see the results someone younger may have been able to produce. However, I am very pleased with my progress!”
Terri Schinkel, Ging Harbor, WA
“I started Kettlebody by Brook just hoping to find something to jumpstart weight loss for me. After 2 weeks, I was hooked on the kettlebell. Instead of being a temporary 8 week challenge, the kettlebell has changed the way I exercise and changed me from someone who detests exercise to someone who doesn’t mind it- and that’s a huge improvement for me! I lost 11 pounds during the 8 weeks, but that says nothing to the confidence and strength that I have gained. I look forward to continuing to build my kettlebody!”
Stephanie Curtis, Austin, TX
“I have Butts & Guts DVD & LOVE it!! I have been doing it for a while now & its given me really super results! I made it up to a 20 lb. KB – which is DEF. a challenge! I have gained some size & shape in my buns, which has been a main goal!”
Nikki Hannula, Phoenix, AZ
“I wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying the Kettlebell: Butts & Guts class. Working out with the kettlebell has given me a much more effective cardio and strength workout than I have been able to achieve in the gym and I have felt some muscles I didn’t even know I had! And Brook makes it so much fun!!! (even if we do a thousand squats or something like that!!) I had never been one for group exercise classes but Brook Benten has made me a convert!”
Aparna Surte, Dallas, TX
“I have battled depression all my life. Brook Benten’s fitness classes make me feel better than anything else I have ever tried. My doctor says that he’s seen me bad and he’s seen me good, but that he’s NEVER seen me this good. Thank you, Brook.”
Betty Grady, Dallas, TX
“I had not even heard of a kettle bell until I started working out with Brook two months ago. After the first class, I knew that I was hooked. Not only was I sore (a good sore) but Brook helped me out during class by showing me that I had been doing squats incorrectly for years. Listen to her when she says to “not lean forward!” It makes a huge difference. Two months later, I have moved up to a heavier kettlebell. I really look forward to going to all of her classes. Her energy and the class routines keep people coming back in droves. I cannot wait for this DVD to come out as I don’t think that she could teach this class often enough – I love it!”
Lindsay Thompson, Dallas, TX
“I personally love Kettlebell. Brook makes it exciting, innovative and her energy is completely contagious. I always have fun in this cutting edge class with an A+ instructor as Brook.”
Deanne Ashcraft, Dallas, TX
“I adore Brook’s yoga and abs classes. She got me totally hooked! It’s really helping with my core strength and also overall posture and flexibility. I am noticing less discomfort at work from sitting all day!”
Roxy Lee, Dallas, TX
“Brook has changed so many people’s lives, including mine, by allowing us to learn and grown as fitness professionals. I will always consider her my mentor.”
Claudia Graves, Fitness Instructor, Dallas, TX
“Because of what Brook Benten did to make SMU Group X a success, I lost over 20lbs back in ’05 and kept it off! I can’t thank her enough. She’d never imagine what an impact she has made on my life.”
