Who is this guy?

My name is David Whitley, Senior RKC Instructor and
professional performing strongman.

I am located in Nashville, TN.

What is an RKC Senior Instructor?

From Dragon Door: The Senior level RKC instructor is by invitation only. The Senior RKC has displayed a combination of superior teaching skills, leadership and physical abilities with the kettlebell. The Senior RKCs are responsible for teaching and testing at Dragon Door and Pavel's renowned Russian Kettlebell Challenge Instructor certification workshops.

I conduct Kettlebell workshops across the country and train clients in the Nashville area. I am also available for internet and phone consultation and personalized program design. 

I have worked to help hundreds of clients reach their fitness goals. These clients include:

  • Vanderbilt University Football and Baseball Teams
  • The US Army
  • The US Marines

These are the exception however. Mostly I work with ordinary people who are sick of being overweight, out of shape and feeling like they are not experiencing life to the fullest. People like you.

I am the author of two Kettlebell DVDs Power Circuit Workout,  and Full Body Power.

I have been featured on More at Midday Channel 4, the Nashville NBC affiliate. I have been interviewed for the Wall street Journal, Nashville Rage and have written articles for several magazine.


What is a performing strongman?
As a perfoming strongman, I keep alive the
oldtime tradition that dates back to Vaudeville
and before. I get on a stage and perform
feats of strength such as tearing phonebooks
and full decks of cards,  bending steel spikes,
rolling frying pans, etc.
