Art & Strength

I first contacted Dan Cenidoza when I needed a coach to help me train for the RKC Certification. My time was limited but Dan always worked around my schedule and made the most of our time together. He always knew what correctives to use to fix my issues, and showed me how to train to get strong enough to survive the certification. I also attended a few of Dan’s kettlebell classes — very challenging but fun. Needless to say, I passed the RKC because Dan had me well prepared. I can’t say enough about Dan’s integrity, technical proficiency, knowledge, character, and example! No matter your goal, if you want results, Dan will help you achieve them.

If you’re a busy professional pressed for time but looking for a killer total body workout then Dan’s kettleball classes are it. You get an awesome leg, arm, back & cardio workout all in 45 min– its unbelievable I know! I used to spend an hour jumping around in aerobics or zumba class just to walk out of class feeling like I wasted an hour because my knees hurt & I didnt feel any stronger. Or I could spend an hour at the gym moving from one machine to another but not feel a thing the next day. Kettleball class kicked my butt. I love it! Dan is such a great guy & if youre lucky you might catch a glimpse of his adorable kids– whose names are all defined by the word «strength»! It just shows how dedicated he is to building & growing strength in others. I found out about kettleball on living social– & almost ended up not going at all because I didnt know what it was. Im so glad I gave it a try. The classes are usually Mon-​Fri 4:30 or 6pm. There are some morning & noon classes– check the schedule online.

I’ve been working out at the gym, running & in decent shape. I didn’t know what kettle ball was & didnt expect much. The first workout at Art and Strength with Dan was one of the toughest workout sessions ever. Kettle ball exercises helped build my strength and endurance particularly in my legs, back, and shoulders. Unlike the traditional isolated muscle workouts that you do at the gym, kettle ball exercises engages your entire body. I get a high intensity workout every time I come to Art and Strength. You will definitely feel some intense muscle ache after your first workout. But like Dan says –it only hurts the first time. I will continue to come here as long as I’m still in Maryland.

I’m a big, unhealthy guy. My wife and I went to Dan for help training. I was nervous as hell and figured he would just tell me how unhealthy I was and how much I was in danger. It couldn’t have been further from the truth. Dan did a full assessment on my abilities and then we started small and worked our way up. I’m not going to say it was easy and he pushed but gently. He never made me feel bad about my limits or my diet, instead it was always about little changes that would make me healthier and feel better about myself.
