Our Promise

Every programme we publish is tested under pressure by our coaches and clients before it’s released. Born out of real training, not theory. These are the sessions we do ourselves. No shortcuts, no gimmicks, no marketing, or rubbish to sell you. All we ask is your honesty of effort and a review if you complete the programme.

Who is this Programme for

Kettlebell Hell Volume 2 is a 12-week programme designed for those who want to continue building strength, endurance, and mobility using kettlebells and bodyweight training. This programme follows on from Volume 1 and is ideal for athletes who thrive on challenging, varied sessions and want to push their physical and mental resilience to the next level.

About this Programme

This programme delivers three kettlebell-focused sessions each week, combining strength work, conditioning, mobility, and cardio-driven elements into one balanced system. Every workout includes structured warm-ups and cool-downs, with clear progressions and regressions so you can adapt to your fitness level and continue to progress.

Each week also features a challenge workout in the form of an AMRAP, chipper, METCON, or ladder. These challenges are designed to test your limits without overwhelming recovery, adding variety and fun while sharpening discipline.

What you Will Get Out of the Programme

By the end of 12 weeks, you’ll have advanced your strength and endurance through progressive kettlebell and bodyweight training, improved mobility and cardiovascular capacity, and developed greater mental toughness and discipline through weekly challenges.

FAQs

Is this program suitable for complete beginners?

Ideally, participants should have a basic grasp of kettlebell and calisthenics exercises. However, with modifications provided, even novices can find a comfortable start and gradually progress.

Primarily, kettlebells and your own body weight are utilized. However, having resistance bands and a sturdy bar for pull-ups can enhance your experience.

How intensive are the 'Hell Weeks'?

Hell Weeks are crafted to challenge you beyond regular workouts. While more demanding, they are pivotal in gauging your progress and pushing boundaries.

Can I incorporate other workouts while following this?

Given the intensity, it's recommended to follow this program exclusively. If you wish to add other routines, ensure they don't impede your recovery.

Are there nutritional guidelines included?

While this program emphasizes workouts, nutrition plays a crucial role. Pairing with a balanced diet enhances results, though specific guidelines aren't provided.

What if I miss a day or two due to unforeseen circumstances?

Life happens. If you miss a session, resume where you left off. Consistency is key, but flexibility ensures sustainability.
