Old City Kettlebells

Located at 200 Malaga Street, Suite 1 in Saint Augustine, Florida, Old City Kettlebells is a fitness studio operated by Fernando Bernall, AP., DOM, CPT.

Fernando Bernall is an athlete with a lifelong training history dating back to his early days in his native Colombia where he played Bola ‘e Trapo, a style of soccer played barefoot with a ball made from cloth, to today’s undertaking of Russian Kettlebells. He has played semi-professional soccer, ran two Chicago marathons and has over 30 years in the martial arts. He is a three time Gold medalist in Tai Chi push-hands competitions at both national and international level.

Fernando is not your ordinary trainer. His idea of a fit body transcends the standards within the fitness industry.  His work is extensively influenced by his understanding of Chinese medicine and acupuncture where the body is viewed as a network of energy pathways running within all connective tissue including the fascia and viscera. In essence, then, Fernando is a holistic trainer. He draws from his knowledge of Eastern disciplines such as Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Hsing-I, Hap-Ki-Do, Acupuncture and Shiatsu; and from his current understanding of exercise physiology, strength training, sports nutrition and herbology, to formulate specific training methods geared to fit the needs of each client.

Fernando is a Board Certified and licensed Acupuncture Physician and practices at Synergy Methods; a certified personal trainer and certified Kettlebell instructor. He practices Chinese martial arts and holds a black belt in Korean Hap-Ki-Do. He is the creator of DaoNamics™, a bodyweight training system. He is available for seminars and private instruction.
