"Your DVD set has exceeded my expectations, what a terrific resource. I have interest in all of the information presented in the DVDs and have followed the threads individually before. Never have I come across a resource that blends it all together as in your workshop. As a 40 year old dad with two young children, and husband with full time work commitments whose interest’s center around staying vital including martial arts training and now kettlebells, all I can say is, “WOW”. Thanks for making this high quality information / presentation available."--Mike DiCello
“Thank
you for putting together such a wonderful and informative workshop. It is the best one I have ever gone to! I am loving this new way of
lifting the kettlebell and really appreciated learning from four
professionals. My money was very well spent!”
– Pamela Monteros
"The Boys are Back in Town DVD set is awesome. I The Joint Mobility
Drills have cured a back problem I've been having after 2 days than from
over 2 weeks of stretches. I have flat feet and ever since I just started
walking around barefoot and using my Kettlebells barefoot combined lately
with Steve Maxwell's drills has changed the way I walk and run drastically
to the point I'd rather run barefoot than with shoes! I can't wait to finish
the DVD set and learn even more. Thank you for supporting the military and
helping us out!"--Preston Owens
"I just completed the review of your latest DVD “boys back in town” and it was like good wine, you sip it slowing to enjoy. Currently I have at least two dozen DVD’s on kettlebells alone from those who I think have something to offer. This DVD was something else, with such valuable information on the most important aspects of fitness and that is being functionality. Secondly you have 4 of the most initiative fitness trainers in one room bombarding you with best creative methods I ever seen. The area I like most, which was really covered by all, was joint heath and mobility. I know it has been covered by others as a stand along training, however, the way was presented at you seminar, made perfect sense before you pick up a kettlebell or start your activity is to address that to perform effective lifting. Other high lights, was Nate’s breath control for fatigue reduction, Steve Cotters on GS methods, Mike on Hormone maintenance, and Steve Maxwell on joint maintenance for senior trainers. Anyway it more then you can ask for an well worth the money. My only regret was not being there."--Ken Wilson
"Thank you for your help with my DVD order. You and the staff of
your fulfillment company have treated me well and you can number me among
your satisfied customers. I'm still going through the Boys Are Back In Town
DVD -- I've sampled sections of it and now I'm going carefully through the
material, following along and taking notes. So far I can confirm that Steve
Maxwell's joint health and bodyweight drills material by itself is worth the
price of the DVD. All four of you are clearly talented speakers, motivators
and instructors, and there is so much information in this DVD it will take
me several weeks to absorb it all. My arthritic shoulders are already
improving and I'm not even through with the first DVD yet. This is
cutting-edge information presented in a manner that is engaging and easy to
understand. You, Steve Cotter, Steve Maxwell, Nate Morrison and others are
making important contributions to and helping to advance a tremendously
important body of knowledge that allows individuals at all fitness levels to
take responsibility for their own health and well-being and thereby enjoy a
more active and rewarding life. Thanks again."--Edmund Meinhardt
"I just had the great fortune of viewing "The Boys Are Back In Town" DVD set from Mike Mahler. This is a tightly edited package of hard won knowledge. I can’t emphasize enough that this material is of the highest value. Before even describing it, I would say it is a "must buy".
Mike Mahler decided to invite Nate Morrison, Steve Maxwell, and Steve Cotter to join him in Las Vegas for a weekend seminar and a chance to share their knowledge. For those of you who have been under a rock, I will spare you the time and space of lengthy resume’s. Steve Cotter, of course is the head of FullKontact.com, a career martial artist in Chinese methods, and competitive Kettlebell lifter, and an evangelist of QiGong. Steve Maxwell is a Masters Brazilian Jiujitsu Champion, trainer to athletes, and an encyclopedia of physical culture. Nate Morrison is a member of the USAF ParaRescue. He has been there, done that, and is a hero. His background in addition to Kettlebell training is Japanese Martial Arts and Russian Systema. Last but not least is Mike Mahler. He is one of the most popular strength authors and instructors around. His powerful and energetic presentation are a force to be reckoned with. I’ve been fortunate to have met and trained alongside or with all of these gentlemen. They are some of the best of the best.
The DVD package is 3 disks long. Each one is unique and covers kettlebell basics, joint mobility, body mechanics, breathing, kettlebell sport, martial arts, stretching, power development, hormonal health, QiGong, and much, much, more. This package is probably the most thorough treatment on fitness and health that I have seen. What is really valuable is the growth of the instructors. As educators mature, they sometime get stale. Not these guys. You will have to get a running start to even keep up with them. To put it bluntly, your fitness library is not complete without a DVD package like this."'--Tom Furman author of Concrete Conflict and Conditioning
"I wanted to shoot you a quick note to tell you how much Melissa and I are benefiting from the "Boys" dvd series. Truly great stuff from all four instructors. Steve M's joint mobility section has been a huge benefit for both of us. We were truly surprised at the difference the mobility exercises make. Cotter's piece was really my main reason to purchase as I have switched my training focus on GS. As you stated, it was worth the price for Steve's section on GS alone! Mike, your section was notable for the fact that you are still focused on the size and strength but now have incorporated the rest/relax components into the training routine. I have used this to great effect and believe that all of your clients will benefit from your new training methodologies." Even at $200.00 it is worth every penny."--Geoff Myck
"I've purchased all of your DVD's for the last few years but this is by far the most valuable purchase of this type by anyone. It's without a doubt worth twice the price. This series will be viewed over and over and I expect to keep learning for quite a while. I will be recommending this set to everyone I know. It's also interesting to note how your style and methods have changed over the years. Keep up the good work. This is by far your best work and the most valuable DVD series of this type that I've ever purchased."-- Pat Sitton
"If your not "into" kettlebells this DVD is definitely for you. IT covers so much on subjects beyond kettlebells and applicable to overall fitness and well-being that you would have to buy 5 other DVD's to get the same information. So get it, but don't be surprised if you "get into" kettlebells as a result of the DVD. Hey, everything has it's side effects!"--Ron Priestly
"This was the most positive learning DVD I have ever
purchased. I have an education in Chiropractic, nutrition and exercise
therapy. The topics in this DVD and the presenters were the most tangible,
inspiring and practical in their knowledge, application and embodiment.
Mahler put together a team that will bring your kettlebell practice to a new
level. It has already, immediately changed my own body awareness, which I
know will enhance the lives of the patients I work with.
I have been teaching exercise to patients for years. I deeply respect Mike’s teaching style and I am always looking for new ways to take my practice to the next level. In 2006 I discovered Mike Mahler and he helped me begin my own intense studies of the kettlebell system. I was fortunate enough to attend two of Mike’s courses, where the light switch was flipped and I was truly able to marry these concepts together with what I do in Chiropractic. The DVD is full of fantastic teaching abilities that enable the viewer to understand how to integrate the techniques into movement. This work will enrich and deepen your approach to stretching, mobilization, exercise and breathing. I believe that integrating these principles will lead my clients towards a more balanced approach to achieving overall fitness and body wisdom.
The instructors on this DVD have a great manner, perspective, and keep
you engaged and informed. Thank you!"
"I want to offer a very positive testimonial on The Boys are Back in Town DVD set. I will start by admitting however I have not got all the way through it and still feel it is great value for money. It is well set out with excellent menu functionality, good quality video and everything is well presented in depth (no rushing through explanations). I have had 2 main benefits from the DVD so far (and will get many more) 1) Steve Maxwell’s section on Joint Mobility has been great. I have had minor problems with my rotater cuff which were impacting training. Using some of Steve’s shoulder exercises, I have had no problems at all, I would have a small pain before the exercises start but after some of his exercises to warm things up I have pain free training sessions and no pain the next day (and its completely fixed now).
I have also found Mike’s section great to improve my technique, as I train alone it is hard to be sure you are doing things exactly right from a few descriptions on a pdf file. Your in depth descriptions and attention to each stage of the movement have been really helpful. Thanks for a great DVD and I feel value for money and I still have almost 4hrs to digest!"--Blair Galpin Auckland, New Zealand
"The DVD is excellent. It was not merely a rehash of previous material but stressed new approaches to time honored exercises not previously demonstrated. The DVD covers the full spectrum of conditioning from proper breathing, stretching, endurance, and strength. Each speaker presented their area of expertise with clarity and enthusiasm. The reproduction and sound quality is excellent. If you want to have four of the best strength and conditioning coaches in the country teaching you the latest, most effective techniques of strength and conditioning, you owe it to yourself to purchase this DVD."--Steve Fink
"Congrats on the "Boys are Back in Town" DVD set. This is a quantum advance in KB training and overall health cultivation."
– Steve Strickman, NYC Kettlebell Instructor
" This is by far one of the best DVDs on kettlebell training that I've seen, and I have seen tons of them. What's interesting is that I can tell that you guys ( i.e.,Maxwell, Cotter, and yourself) have not been stagnate in your development. I'm still trying to digest all the *new rules*, as I like to call them, about KB lifting that was presented in the DVDs.
I encourage anyone who is interested in learning the more traditional and up to date KB techniques, buy this video and be prepared to be blown away. I tried the relaxed press yesterday, and I can see how it is easier to press heavier bells going from a relaxed state and only using as much tension as needed. On another note, bro I really think that you and the "Steves" should get together and develop a KB and flexibility certification, which, of course, is different from the RKC. From watching this video, it's very clear to me that you guys know your shit, and when all this is combined into one system, I think a lot of CPTs and fitness buffs would benefit tremendously. I'll be one of the first to sign up."
– Muata Kamdibe
"This is by far the best DVD I have bought! Cotter, Mahler, Maxwell and Morrison go through painstaking effort so the simple man can understand. They inform us on new developments and show how there philosophies have evolved. God Bless Boys!"
Phillip Hickman
"Got your video – great stuff – liked lecture on stress – where is the bar set? This is something to consider every day - I really liked your US Marine in Iraq stress level example vs. a whiney wanker housefrau. I was impressed w/ Steve Maxwell and Steve Cotter’s lecture. All of the KB overview info improved my form/technique and per set performance. Thank you, I thought it was very well done and very educational."
– George Sucher
"Let me say that I was blown away by these DVD's. (you can use me as a testimonial if you wish)..I learned so much from you and everyone. Each guy brought their special knowledge to each session..I loved your talk on supplements and careful watching of your hormonal levels through blood tests. Also, I study Shaolin Kung fu and I've always wanted to see Steve Cotter in action. By the way I am 46 and boy has Steve Maxwell given me something to shoot for as far as physical condition! I also found relaxing through tension a very valuable lesson from Nate Morrison."
– Alex Katsanos
"I also wanted to let you know how highly I regard your products and the obvious effort that goes into them. The DVD was well worth the money and is by far the most comprehensive I have ever seen on training, health and lifestyle. The excellent presentation skills of each speaker ensured that all the points were conveyed in a simple, direct and effective manner; I was also able to understand how joint mobility and posture increase the effectiveness of KB workouts and have tried to apply the correct principles in my own training."
– Tom Haddon
"Mr. Mahler Admittedly, I had been very disappointed with the other DVD (fat loss DVD) I had previously ordered from you as I found your presentation both unprofessional and pretentious. However, your Kettlebell Workshop DVD has been the best $170 I have ever spent. You were informative, professional, engaging, and encouraging. In short, you and all your guest presenters were phenomenal. I am so looking forward to receiving your new and improved Basic Kettlebell DVD to begin re-training myself in kettlebells while incorporating the Workshop material into my training matrix. Outstanding!"--Forrest Cox
"I love nearly everything about "the Boys are Back in Town" DVD's. Steve Maxwell is incredible. I've stated to incorporate joint mobility exercises in to my boot camp workouts. Your presentation on optimizing hormones has got me making a daily effort to get more sleep not just rest. Steve Cotter is, as always, very motivating. So much so that I have him coming to Fresno for a kettlebell seminar in April. I didn't get that much from Nate's presentations though"--Jesse Pichardo
"I chose this set in an effort to have access to a large amount of
Kettlebell information from these experts. As it turned out, this
DVD set is much more than Kettlebells. A great deal of general fitness
information is also included. I will probably spend at least a
year or more learning from this set and intergrating it into my
workouts. This is a purchase I truly feel good about and will
enjoy many re-viewings. Much Thanks."--Michael Rossomondo
Four reasons why you will benefit from our DVD:
Steve Cotter: Russian Professional Kettlebell System And Chi-Kung
The most exhaustive instruction on Russian professional kettlebell lifting ever seen on DVD. If you want to learn the most efficient way to use kettlebells for endurance and work capacity, then you need to know how Russian professionals use kettlebells. Steve went all the way to Russia to learn from the best in the world and his section on the clean, swing, snatch, and jerk is the best that I have seen period. Frankly his section is worth the price alone. If you want to get the most out of cleans, swings, snatches, and jerks then you want this DVD. In addition to Steve’s exceptional kettlebell instruction, he took it one step further with his chi-kung section. This is exactly what you need to add to your training regimen. It is not enough just to work the muscles; you need to work your internal organs for real health and longevity. Fortunately, it only requires a few minutes per day when you know what you are doing and you will know what you are doing after viewing Steve’s section.
Mike Mahler: Power Kettlebell Training And Optimizing Hormones
If you want to train with heavy kettlebells in the most efficient manner possible, then you will benefit greatly from my section on power kettlebell training. Learn how to ramp up your kettlebell military press numbers dramatically. If you are stuck at three reps now with a 70lb bell, you will get to six reps or more after you master these non-tension techniques. You will also learn how to use the one-arm snatch to master the double snatch, an extremely effective alternative to the kettlebell front squat for blasting the quads and glutes, and much more. In addition to my kettlebell section, you will be watching my section on optimizing sex hormones multiple times. Optimizing hormones is one of the most important things that you can do to maximize your training regimen. More importantly, it is a critical factor in your health, sex drive, and overall well-being.
Steve Maxwell: Joint Mobility And Kettlebell Core Training
After you watch Steve’s section you will understand clearly why you must add joint mobility exercises to your routine. Steve refers to joint mobility drills as the fountain of youth and he has the results to back it up. A crucial part of Steve’s anti-aging regimen is his joint mobility routine and no one teaches joint mobility better than Steve. Steve’s joint mobility section is the best that I have ever seen period on any DVD. You will never need to purchase another DVD on joint mobility. If you have any physical pain at all then you will benefit immensely from Steve’s joint mobility section. If you want to recover from your workouts faster than ever, then you need Steve’s joint mobility section. More importantly if you want to prevent future aches and pains, then you need to be proactive and add Steve’s joint mobility routine to your program now. In addition to Steve’s incredible joint mobility section, Steve goes over an array of bodyweight exercises and kettlebell exercises for the core. Why should you take Steve’s core advice? Steve is ripped to the bone with a super strong midsection and lower back. It is generally a good idea to take advice from trainers that have achieved the results you desire.
Nate Morrison: Performance Breathing For Kettlebells And Beyond
You will never take breathing for granted ever again after checking out Nate Morrison’s detailed section on performance breathing. More important than what Nate is teaching is where he has tested what he has learned. Nate Morrison has been a member of USAF Para-rescue and Special Tactics teams for the last thirteen years. Nate covers in detail how to use breathing to boost your endurance big time and how to use breathing to cut your recovery time. You need to master breathing in order to master any exercise or form of exercise. You will never be the best you can be with mediocre breathing skills. Most people do not know how to breathe while sitting still in a chair let alone while performing intense exercise. After watching Nate’s section you will know exactly what breathing method to use to enhance whatever exercise program you are on.

Workshop Attendee Feedback
“Thank
you for putting together such a wonderful and informative workshop. It
is the best one I have ever gone to! I am loving this new way of
lifting the kettlebell and really appreciated learning from four
individuals. My money was very well spent!”
– Pamela
Monteros
“I had a great time at the workshop and felt a lot of useful
information was covered. Thank goodness for the video taping of this workshop purely for the absolute
info overload by the presenters.”
– Jim
Talo
“I had a great time and got a lot of good information to apply back
to my business. I am very happy that you guys put everything down
on DVD because my brain was fried on Monday morning due to the information
overload. I felt that all of the instructors were very
professional and answered any questions that I had.”
– Griffin
White
“It
is very refreshing that even as great instructors as they are; they have a willingness
to learn from each other and us. I think being willing to be
students themselves is part of what makes these guys great at what they
teach others. I found that I learned significantly more at this workshop
than
at the RKC I attended last year. The info presented was diverse and
there was a lot of it.”
– Regina
Hurley
“Each presenter
was refreshingly different in both his approach and presentation
material. The day literally flew by and their was no time for lunch. This
was an info overload! ‘Goulash,’ GS, Qigong, joint
mobility, ground movement… the DVDs will be a more than
welcome refresher and review of what we learned mentally and
kinesthetically.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How Long Is The DVD?
A: Over seven hours of completely fluff free information. My brother Roger trimmed all the fat and reduced it to a super content rich seven hours. Unlike other workshop DVD’s you will not be constantly fast forwarding looking for the few gems. No footage of people eating lunch, chitchatting, or getting wedgies (inside joke) on our DVD.
Q: I am just getting started with kettlebells is this DVD a fit for me?
A: You bet it is! Common problems that beginners have include banging up the wrists and forearms on cleans and snatches. You will find Steve Cotter’s section incredibly useful, as it is the most exhaustive instruction that I have seen period on cleans, snatches, swings, and jerks. Four moves that beginners should master before moving on to other KB drills.
You will also find Steve Maxwell’s joint mobility section incredibly useful for balancing your kettlebell training. Moreover, Steve’s kettlebell core section is a must for all levels and a great introduction to core training with kettlebells. Next, you will love Nate Morrison’s breathing section as it will make any training program far more effective.
Finally the nutrition information and optimizing hormone section that I cover is a must for all levels.
Bottom line this DVD is for you so do not hesitate.
Q: I am an advanced kettlebell trainee, is this DVD a fit?
You can do whatever you are doing with kettlebells much better after you check out this DVD. You can increase work capacity and endurance dramatically with Steve Cotter’s section on how the Russian professionals use kettlebells. If you want to press more than ever then my section is the ticket that you need. Finally, Steve Maxwell’s kettlebell core section is a perfect compliment to any regimen and many of the exercises that he covers are perfect for advanced trainees. Moreover, there is far more to comprehensive fitness than just kettlebells and this DVD conveys clearly what else you should be working in. Bottom line is that our DVD is a fit for you.
Q: I have a lot of workshop DVD’s and they all have poor film quality and even worse sound quality. What can I expect with yours?
A: Great question and I know exactly what you are taking about. Frankly, I have been disappointed with every workshop DVD that I have purchased as well. I can promise you that you will not be disappointed with our DVD. My brother Roger who films and edits all of my DVD’s is a pro and he did an exceptional job filming and editing our DVD. That said, to be honest there are a few spots where the film quality is not perfect. This was due to lighting issues during certain parts of the DVD (actually only during a small section of Nate Morrison's section so no big loss ;-). Most of it was addressed well. Yet there were a few areas that were not easy to make perfect. Regardless, the vast majority of the DVD has great sound and picture quality. Finally keep in mind that the DVD comes with a 30-day money back guarantee if you are unsatisfied for any reason.
Q: I already have all of your DVD’s as well as Steve Cotter’s and Steve Maxwell’s DVD’s. Do I really need this DVD?
A: No doubt you already have a lot of great material from all of us. However, as you can see from this ad copy most of the stuff we covered is not on DVD’s that we have already put out. This DVD is not the equivalent of a “greatest hits” album.
Q: The DVD set is too expensive?
A: Then do not buy it. If you are not serious about your health and well being then there is nothing I can do for you. People paid $1595.00 to attend the course and that does not cover travel expenses. You get it for much less than that and you get to enjoy the workshop from the comfort of your home and you can view it as many times as you want.
As a side note all of the people that did attend are getting a free copy. Good luck finding anyone else that is that generous with workshop attendees.
Q: What happens if I do not like the DVD?
A: You have 30 days to send the DVD back for a hassle free refund of the purchase price. I would of course like a brief explanation to ensure that future projects are improved.
