Kettlebell Fit
- Course Details
- Sign Up For KettlebellFit
This is a high intensity kettlebell course open to both men and women who want to really push their fitness levels and see results but who are short on time. Kettlebells – if you haven’t yet come across them – are unusual looking cast iron weights that resemble a canon ball with a handle, and you swing them. They come in a range of sizes suitable for beginners right the way through to pros. They’ve been around for a very long time but are the current big hit with celebrities who are short on time but who want to keep lean and toned.
What’s so great about Kettlebells?
- When you exercise with a standard dumbbell, the weight is in your hand and, therefore, within the mass of your body. By contrast, because a kettlebell is on the end of a handle, the weight is outside your body mass and so when you swing it, it exerts forces that have to be controlled through your core, thus working the deep, stabilizing abdominal muscles.
- In concrete terms this means that kettlebells will give you a brilliant cardio, strength, core and flexibility workout all rolled into one short, intense session, so they’re very economical on time. Great for busy people, in other words!
- Ladies! Increasing your strength is a good thing: it gives you muscle definition, it protects you from osteoporosis in later years, an increase in muscle mass helps you burn more calories when you’re at rest and - no – you won’t end up looking like body builders!
- Gentlemen! Well, I don’t need to convince you about the advantages of having a bit of muscle.. but this will also give you a cardio workout.
- Regular kettlebell training improves body composition, making you leaner and reducing body fat percentages.
In short, these fitness “weapons” are powerful but they do need to be handled carefully and with excellent technique. All KettlebellFitUK instructors are fully qualified and insured which is just what’s needed when it comes to incorporating kettlebells safely into your fitness routine!

I joined KettlebellFit after being plagued by a recurring back injury. I have found in only eight weeks my back feels better and my core is much stronger. The extra fitness I have gained is an added bonus – surprising results for an hour a week.
