Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the classes that I have taken with you. Thank you for introducing me to kettlebells. It's too bad that you will not be coming back to teach in the fall because I really look forward to kettlebell workout on Thursdays.

Thanks again. You've been a wonderful instructor.
