Reminder: Kettlebell How-To Workshop

By Leave a Comment

If you haven’t already signed up, there are just a few spots left in each of my upcoming kettlebell how-to classes (3 Saturdays starting Sept 26, or 3 Mondays starting Sept 28).

This class is for you if you are relatively new to kettlebells and want to learn how to effectively and safely learn how to use them at home (particularly as these Seattle days get shorter). Cancel your gym membership and train in your own home rather than heading out in to the Seattle cold, grey mist this winter. Whether you have 5, 15, or 40 minutes — I’ll provide you with a training program that will fit.

Over the three weeks you’ll learn 15 kettlebell drills, with lots of repetition and Q&A time to reinforce learning. We wrap up week 3 by working as a class to design 15 and 40 minute training sessions so you understand the hows and why of programming — and then finish up doing the 15-minute training session.

Recent reviews:

  • “I’ve been very glad to get training with RKC certified people and not amateurs.”
  • “Thorough overview of every drill”
  • “Almost one-on-one training makes it very personal”
  • “Great overview of training with kettlebells. The hour is over before you know it and an amazing workout has been accomplished”

Workshop: Kettlebells 101

By 1 Comment

KettlebellsIf you are reading this, odds are you already know something about kettlebells, but maybe not. I’ve put together a workshop to clear up some of the mystery. Want to know if they are for you? This is the workshop to come to and find out.

A combination of demo, follow-along, and Q&A, this 90-minute workshop is designed for those brand new to kettlebells that want to learn what kettlebells are all about.

 

I’ll answer these questions and more:

  • What are they and where did they come from?
  • How can they possibly work for strength and cardio?
  • How does they compare to barbell/dumbbell for strength and a treadmill for cardio?
  • How often should I train with them?
  • What are some of the basic moves?
  • How long is an average kettlebell training session?
  • Do Katherine Heigl and Matthew McConaughey really train with them? (The answer is yes)

We’ll intersperse Q&A with some basic drills so you get plenty of hands-on time.

Date: Saturday, Sept 12, 10-11:30am

Cost: $20

Where: Outrageously Fit (Ballard)
