Tell me about the courses you offer

Courses are a way of passing over knowledge to participants to allow them to take their own training to new levels. They take a more technical view and focus more on learning skills that you can keep rather than running you into the ground. By the very nature of kettlebells, learning will end up being a workout, but the focus is always on performing the techniques correctly.

Kettlebells are very technically demanding and as such I always want to ensure that people are well schooled in the basics of Kettlebell lifting.

This is both to avoid injury, but also to ensure that you get the most out of your chosen course.

For example if I am trying to teach a group of people an 'advanced snatch conditioning sequence', but you don't have a clear understanding of a basic swing, you will get less from the course, but you will also be slowing others learning down.

This means that, prior to taking part in any of the more advanced courses that we offer, you need to have:

1. Taken part in our 'Kettlebells Basics' course or,
2. Had some private sessions with myself to iron out any technical flaws you may have or learn the relevent techniques or,
3. Be able to show prior learning and experience with kettlebells to a competent level.

With this in mind Courses are always restricted to a maximum of 10 people. This ensures that everyone gets a good amount of attention. Each session is like a small group personal training session, with lots of attention and instruction.

1. Courses take place in and around the Newbury, Basingstoke and Reading areas.
2. They are payable in advance, and require you to have a Kettlebell. You can either source your own or purchase one through Momentum Kettlebells. Our Kettlebells are high quality and competitively priced. For more information on our extensive range of Kettlebells click here. This enables you to practice and train at home during and after the course.

Our main courses on offer:

• Kettlebell Basics

This names a few of our courses. Please contact me for more information or any suggestions of courses you'd like to see.

For more detail on the courses, see below.

Kettlebell Basics

£60 for 6 sessions

The Kettlebell Basics course is the first course you need to do.

In this course you will learn all the basic kettlebell movements including both the 'Grinds' and the ballistic exercises that make kettlebells so different and effective.

After doing this course you can move on to 'continuous Kettlebell or 'Unleash the power of Double Kettlebells'.

Exercises covered in the basic course include.

• 2 - handed swing
• Single handed swing
• Front squat
• Clean
• Press variations

• Turkish get up
• Winmills
• Many more

By the end of the course you can expect to have a firm grip on these exercises. Technique will not be perfect yet, but that is why we practice. Remember anything worth having is worth working for.

Completion of this course leads nicely on to our double kettlebell course.

Unleash the Power of Double Kettlebells

£60 for 6 sessions

Kettlebell training is very technically demanding and until you start training with them it is hard to understand how technical they really are. Therefore it is vital that techniques with a single kettlebell are learned to a good degree before attempting double kettlebells.

With that said Double Kettlebells takes training to a whole new level. Tremendous amounts of strength and conditioning can be attained through double kettlebells. Whilst much more technically demanding than single kettlebell the results more than outway the work that needs to go into them.

Some of the exercises covered:

• Double swing
• Double clean
• Double press
• Double front squat
• Bent over rows
• Alternating rows
• See saw pressing
• and many more

To take part in this course please see the conditions at the top of the page.

The course will be run in 6 weekly blocks where we simply explore different ways of structuring workouts, and learn new exercises. Using Bodyweight and kettlebell (single and Double) exercises.
