OVERVIEW

The Careers in Fitness Kettlebell Training Course uses a combination of online learning and practical workshops to give fitness professionals the knowledge and skills needed to instruct this unique training method.

The course covers the fundamental techniques (kettlebell deadlift, kettlebell squat, kettlebell swing, kettlebell clean, kettlebell shoulder press, kettlebell high pull. kettlebell snatch, kettlebell windmill, turkish ‘get up’), the benefits of kettlebell workouts, and its implications for strength and power training, and sport-specific training.

At the end of this course attendees should be able to justify the use of kettlebell techniques based on relevant physiological principles, and competently deliver a range of kettlebell exercises.

The course is therefore aimed at any fitness professional who currently possesses a Level 2 fitness qualification (or above) as a means to potentially venture into employment within a group-exercise setting as a Kettlebell Training Instructor, and receive the associated financial benefits. Achievement of this qualification will also expand the skill-set of the trainer (for use during one-to-one or group-training), enhancing their CV, and improving their reputation and functionality within a fitness environment.
