FAQs
1. What equipment do I need to get started?
Ideally, 1-2 kettlebells to support your progression and allow for effective training.
I'm a beginner—can I still join?
Absolutely. Our programs are designed with progressions for all levels. You'll start where you are and build strength, mobility, and confidence over time.
How many days a week should I train?
We recommend 3–4 sessions per week, depending on your goals and recovery. Consistency over intensity is the key.
What if I don’t have much time?
No problem. Most workouts are 30-45 minutes and can be done at home. It's about showing up and getting it done—not spending hours in the gym.
