Club Kettlebell is a written online program and kettlebell membership that will help you train to become a stronger and more agile human. In Club KB you will learn to transform your workouts into intentional training sessions.
My goal is to help you become and see yourself as a stronger, more powerful adult athlete because yes, we can and should all move like and feel like athletes. As humans, our fitness routines should enhance the quality of our lives & help us do the things we love in life for longer.
Club Kettlebell is created for the intermediate mover who has already learned the kettlebell swing, clean, snatch, and Turkish get up. If you feel confident in these skills + have mastered the squat, deadlift, and press, this program is for you.
Club KB will take your training to the next level. Expect to practice these basics, learn and build more advanced KB skills, and build strength using the kettlebell.
Club Kettlebell includes- ‣4 training sessions/week ‣Access to a 1:1 chat with me, group chat with the team, demo videos, and written and/or verbal cues for each exercise ‣Record and track your workouts so you can track yourself getting stronger and more conditioned
