Excellent Value |
Rated 10 out of 10 |
These are great routines. Fun, hard work -- just the way I like it. Proves again how simple tools like kettlebells and ropes can replace boring exercise routines with dynamic, full body workouts. A quick route to functional fitness, the supreme goal.
Instruction is clear -- demonstration is smoking -- and you can't beat the price.
Thanks to DragonDoor & the Snidemans for an excellent value.

Ropes of knowledge |
Rated 8 out of 10 |
Ropes of knowledge should have been the name of this dvd! I was just doing your alernating routine exercise but after watching this dvd you brought it to another level.
Thanks for bringing the fun and awareness back into the ropes!!

Content is what matters first. |
Rated 9 out of 10 |
While the look of the video may be one thing, the content, I thought, was well presented. The drills look easier than they are to perform and I understood that the kettlebell work is intended not at showing something new, but rather implement basic KB drills for conditioning. All natural movement patterns remain in place, and Franz makes a point of addressing when to perform such a workout, as it is a smoker! The rope work is fun, and requires a certain amount of coordination. This is an instructional DVD first, showcasing drills that one may not necessarily know. The execution of the basics oftentimes leads to great results. IMHO, the DVD delivers on that note.

Excellent work done by Franz and Yoana! We've been training our clients for more than a year combining Ropes and Kettlebells and is great that people finally have a chance to see a high quality DVD with these awesome trainers.
It's a great tool for trainers that are new to this kind of training!

Love your Ropes DVD! |
Rated 10 out of 10 |
Got your DVD as soon as it came out. It was just what I was looking for. Sometimes with my classes I seem to run out of ideas with incorporating ropes. Yours gave me tons of ideas...thank you! I know my clients love them too b/c they complain & groan when I show them what excercises we are doing with them. I usually hear, "You've got o be joing!" Yet when they are done they sing a different tune. More like, "That was awesome, that was tough, wow, loved it!"
I remember reading somewhere that Gunnar Peterson once said, You know you have a really good excercise when your clients groan and say "Oh no!" when you tell them what you are doing.
Stay well,

This DVD was Awesome! |
Rated 10 out of 10 |
I've used the rope with my trainer for conditioning in the past and am well aware of the cardiovascular benefits. AKA know how it kicks your butt in a very short period of time. When I saw the DVD on Dragon Door I decided to check it out.
Yoana Snideman rocks. The DVD gives you a variety of rope drills combined with kettlebell exercises that are extremely challenging and engaging. There is a lot of variety,and execution on Yoana's part is exemplary.
As a teacher of an intensive personal training school, I've presented the DVD to my students. They are buying the DVD. I've just purchased a rope -Knot and Rope Supply Unlimited (best deal)Tomorrow my students will experience it.
As the Director of Wellness Services for the JCC I've exposed my trainers to rope conditioning. They're impressed.
Revolution Solution! Thumbs up!

This video has it all. The Snideman's show a TON of ropes drills, proper techniques, sets & reps schemes, and how to encorporate them into your Kettlebell class or training. They even show drills to help improve you or your clients movement imbalances.
Anyone who wants to take their training or business to the next level should get some ropes and especially this DVD.

Rope workouts |
Rated 10 out of 10 |
I have a limited time in which to work out in the mornings and I have found that rope workouts give me intense cardio, great core strength, as well as arm and leg workouts. I feel a good burn for the rest of the day!

NOT IMPRESSIVE |
Rated 5 out of 10 |
I am usually very impressed with the products/DVD's and book I receive from Dragon Door. The Revolution Solution was a different story. It was a poorly designed DVD, with poorly designed workouts, none of which are anything new or different. The rope exercises are not impressive, the Kettle Bell exercises are nothing new if you have read any material on Kettle Bells. All in all I am quite disappointed and my money could have better been spent on a different DVD purchase. I have the Extreme Kettle Bell Cardio workout which is very well put together as well as very effective and very difficult. The Revolution Solution just doesn't cut it for me. I recommend the EKC workout or one of Pavel's books as a better choice.
