New Mats



Just finished laying the new mats in the new addition to the TKC gym! These mats can take a beating and they'll need to. We'll be using this room for our Olympic Lifting and other CrossFit events.





Special Thanks to Bobby and Maria for your contribution with the mats! It's great to have you all on the TKC team!

What Is the TKC?

The Texas Kettlebell Club (TKC) is Seguin's premiere Strength and Conditioning training facility. This is NOT your normal health club or gym. We use Kettlebells, Tires, Battling Ropes, Olympic Lifts, Hammers, and Olympic Rings. We train indoor and outdoor. Our Instructors have Certifications in Kettlebells(RKC/HKC/IKFF), CrossFit, Personal Training, and Warrior Diet. The TKC takes ordinary people and in a short time produces extraordinary results. There is no B.S. here! It takes training hard and eating right to get those results. No magic pills or short cuts!
The TKC operates like a family, our instructors are always there to help you out with whatever you need. Whether it be nutrition, scaling a workout, or help on a particular exercise.

Interested in joining the TKC family? We offer 2 FREE trial classes. Decide for yourself if the TKC is right for you. Contact us now at texaskettlebellclub@gmail.com or 830-556-4180. Or feel free to stop by and observe a class at anytime. Whether you are a beginner or been in the strength game for a while, we have something for you!

Warrior Diet Tip of the Week 4

Many of the foods we commonly eat could be holding back progress. Some of the foods and many byproducts of how we store food like plastic bottles for water or milk cause our body to convert these substances into estrogen and store them as fat as a defensive mechanism. He...re is a list of estrogenic foods and herbs that should be avoided.

Estrogenic foods
Foods• Soy products – soy milk, tofu, soy protein, isolate, soy isoflavones supplements• Conventional meats and poultry• Conventional dairy• Pesticide-treated produce• Pork products – meat and lard• Omega 6 oils – canola, mazola, rapeseed, corn, soy• Alfalfa sprouts• Plastic bottled water.
