Kettlebell Open Training Sessions

How can a cannonball with a handle get you in the best shape of your life? Or bulletproof your body, making it impervious to hard-living and developing resiliency? Or literally forging a physique that demands respect? Are you ready for people in the street to stare with envy in awe at your statuesque definition?

The kettlebell has revolutionized training and fitness in general, and has also nicely proven to be a really great tool for physique transformation. Its intelligent application yields results far in excess of what can be achieved with bodyweight or other implements alone, and can do so in an efficient manner.
As with anything, its indiscriminate use can also lead to poor results at best, and injuries at worst, or completely demotivate and lead you to believe it is just another fad, and that you can never attain your fitness goals.

Correct kettlebell technique develops strength safely, and has excellent carryover to other modes of training. But it can be difficult to find a knowledgeable trainer. I don’t like knocking other trainers, because there are plenty of them who are great at what they do, but I have found the majority of trainers simply do not know how to coach correct kettlebell technique, nor can they get the most out of the uniqueness of kettlebell training. Most simply think of it as a dumbbell, which is a pity, because it’s good for so much more.
As such I will be running ‘open’ kettlebell group sessions. The basic idea is you can rock up whenever you like, and workout or practice with kettlebells. I will coach everyone who turns up. As it is an open session, it will be a case of first in best dressed. You can show up and just ask me questions on training if you like, or you would like a specific lift demonstrated, or you might like an effective routine to help you reach your training goals. You can drop by for ten minutes or stay the whole two hours. If only one trainee shows up, then they effectively have personal training for the price of a group session. If many trainees show up, we’ll determine what to focus training on. Think of this as learning a skill, much like martial arts, and not just ‘working out’ in a park.

I think this is a fun and exciting way to train, and is a great way to escape the monotony of group training. It also has the flexibility of scheduling. You don’t need to show up at a specific time. Come along when it suits you.
Please refer to the Group Training page for details.

Hope to see you there.
