What You'll Learn

Your one-day course is divided into four practical workshops, taking you from the foundations of kettlebell movement through to confident coaching and using kettlebells within your fitness business.

Workshop 1 — Master The Fundamentals

Learn the foundations of safe and effective kettlebell training, including kettlebell handling, the hip hinge and swing technique. You’ll explore multiple swing progressions and understand how this fundamental movement transfers into other kettlebell exercises.

Workshop 2 — Learn To Coach Kettlebells

Develop your coaching cues, tone of voice, teaching position and observation skills while learning and practising key lower-body exercises including swings, cleans, squats and lunges with variations and adaptations.

Workshop 3 — Build Effective Sessions

Learn how to plan 1-to-1 and group-based kettlebell sessions, understanding the key variables that make programming simple and effective. You’ll also develop your pushing, pulling, shoulder and lower-body exercises, alongside group training techniques.

Workshop 4 — Put It Into Practice

Bring everything together with advanced exercises including the windmill, Turkish get-up and core variations, before exploring how to introduce kettlebell training into your business through packages, classes and pricing.

Show. Practice. Assess.

There’s no stressful final practical exam. Your skills are assessed formatively throughout the day as you learn, practise and coach in 1-to-1 and small-group settings.

You’ll receive guidance and feedback as you go, helping you leave the course confident, competent and ready to use kettlebells with your clients.

Your 1-Day Practical Training

Your face-to-face training takes place at our Milton Keynes Academy, from 9:00am–4:30pm. Across the day, you’ll take part in four practical workshops, giving you plenty of time to learn, practise and develop your kettlebell coaching skills.

Around 80–90% of the day is practical. You’ll learn and practise key kettlebell exercises, develop your coaching cues and instruction skills, and put everything into practice with 1-to-1 and small-group coaching.

And you don’t need to be super-fit to take part.

This isn’t a test of your fitness. It’s about learning how to coach kettlebells effectively.

You’ll be supported throughout the day by your tutor, with plenty of opportunities to practise, ask questions, receive feedback and build your confidence.

By the end of the day, you’ll have learned, practised and coached a range of kettlebell exercises, giving you the practical skills and confidence to introduce kettlebell training into your own client sessions.

How you'll be assessed

There’s no stressful final practical assessment on this one-day CPD course.

Instead, your assessment is ongoing throughout the day, as you coach individuals and small groups during each practical workshop.

You’ll also complete a Kettlebell Instructor Worksheet, helping you consolidate your learning and demonstrate your understanding of key coaching principles and session planning.

Our Show. Practice. Assess. approach means you learn a skill, practise it with guidance, receive feedback and then demonstrate your understanding as you progress.

This creates a more relaxed and effective learning experience, helping you build confidence, retain what you’ve learned and leave ready to use your kettlebell coaching skills with clients.
