If you're looking for the best in kettlebell training, if you're looking to learn how to use kettlebells safely and effectively for fat loss, strength and fitness training then you will want to sign up to the LKB / CJ Swaby Kettlebell Intensive Workshop!

The workshop is being held at Fitzroy Lodge, Archway 180, Lambeth Road, London, SE1

LKB Kettlebell Workshop

The course will be run in two sections. We will be covering the basics in the first half and here is some of what you'll learn:

The Warm Up. The days of spending twenty minutes on a treadmill glued to your iPod are long gone. We will be introducing dynamic warm ups based around bodyweight training and joint mobility.

The Kettlebell Swing. If there is one exercise that defines kettlebell training it is the swing. A full body movement that develops strength from the toes to the fingertips, supercharges your cardiovascular system and helps hone a fantastic physique...if done properly. We'll teach you how the swing should be done; there will be no back soreness or pain, all that you get is stronger and fitter!

Kettlebell Swing

Clean and Press. This one exercise will deliver high levels of upper body strength as well as a fantastically well defined upper body. It's also a hard exercise so we'll teach you all the techniques to get your strength rocketing without getting sore shoulders.

Turkish Get Up. If you want rock hard abs this is the exercise for you! It will develop rock hard obliques and six pack abs. For the grapplers and MMA athletes amongst you this one drill can make the difference between throwing your opponent off you like a rag doll or falling prey to "pound and ground". Which option do you prefer? Well in that case we expect to see you at the workshop!

Turkish Get Up

Kettlebell Programme Design and LKB Circuits.
Once you've learnt the basics you'll want to put the drills into practice. We have developed some phenomenal workouts with kettlebell circuits and these will be unlike any other workout you have ever experienced; we guarantee it! These will kickstart your metabolism and get fat shifting fast.

How to integrate kettlebells into combat sports
CJ will be presenting all new material geared towards boxers and other combat athletes. He will be looking at programme design and linking kettlebell exercises, and non kettlebell exercises (e.g Bodyweight/ Medicine Ball/ Skipping Ropes etc) into an effective training session/routine. This section is geared towards conditioning 2-3 minute round fighters, highlighting the important difference between training for 2 - 3 minute rounds and general fitness.

What is training with us like?
Our classes are run professionally with no ego, posing or strange men in combat gear that you find at other places. We have a great instructor to attendee ratio, there will be three of us and the maximum class size is twenty five. Eight spaces have already been booked and we just made this public!

We have a wide range of clients from professional athletes to mums at home. The common theme is that they are all looking for an edge in their training; whether it be for top level competitive sports or just to fit better into that bikini for summer and we promise to deliver!

A full range of kettlebells will be available for use on the day.

The London Kettlebells Promise.
We are SO sure of the effectiveness of Kettlebell training we guarantee that if you do not see the health and fitness benefits of kettlebell training then you weren't trying hard enough! Okay, okay, we're joking about that bit but we are the only UK Kettlebell company who will promise you this: You will get a full refund on your training if you do not feel that the workshop was of value to you. All you need to do is give us feedback so we can refine and improve our services. To date, we have delivered the course to over two hundred people and have only had to refund one client, a Personal Trainer who found it "too hard" - well, that leads me onto the most important point before you sign up for the workshop. Kettlebells are HARD. This isn't your typical step class where you bicep curl foam dumbbells; this is tough, no-nonsense training that will deliver phenomenal results. Its as simple, and as challenging, as that.

If you want to develop maximal fitness in the minimum of time this is the course for you!

All sorts of other nice things

See what past participants have said about this course...

'This course was very thorough, with a very sound emphasis on creating really solid basics. The tuition was clear, with careful demonstration and explanation, as well as each exercise being supported by well chosen build-up routines. The workouts incorporated were sensible, and people of different levels of knowledge and experience were well taken care of. There was none of the 'I'm fitter than you' stuff which sometimes can spoil these days. Unhesitating recommendation as a start for kettlebells' Andy Hathway January 2008

What you will learn at the KettleFIT COURSE:

Here's a taster of some of what you'll learn in the course:

The Swing. The foundation of all Kettlebell training. Here is where it all begins for developing rapid hip flexors and for accelerating fat loss. It is not as easy as it looks. Learn how to get a cardio workout and a lower body workout in minimum time. Learn the best way to do swings at the workshop and how to avoid getting a sore lower back.

The Clean. Evolved from Olympic weight lifting-but is totally different. Learn how to stop banging your wrists even with a heavy kettlebell. Learn perfect form and how to correct your current form. Forget about doing military presses or squats . It all starts here. Why you should open your hand and wrap your hand around the kettlebell rather than letting the kettlebell flip over and bruise your forearms.

Squat. The easiest of all kettlebell moves. This will help you become more flexible, increase your core strength and reduce back pain. No spotters or squat racks are required.

The Turkish Getup. Forget about doing hundreds of crunches and doing sit-ups to get rock hard abs. Learn how to work your body a one unit and build a rock solid midsection that will help you with all your training. Learn the TGU' step by step and how you can make it more productive.

Military Presses. (Many years ago the Military Press was the benchmark for upper body strength. Now people are getting lazy and like to lie down when doing presses ;-) learn why the military press is a full body demonstration of tension and why latimus dorsi activation is critical for an important press or pull movements. Learn why you should press two kettlebells like a barbell and lower two kettlebells like you are doing a pull-up for maximum strength. You will be shocked at what a difference this makes.

The Windmill. This is a phenomenal exercise for building shoulder stability, core strength, and solid obliques. It is also a fantastic excericise for building flexibility in the shoulders and hamstrings. When done correctly, this exercise is safe and effective. Done incorrectly, it is a sure-fire way to get injured badly! Learn how to do it correctly before it is too late.

Combos and drills. Learn how to incorporate some phenomenal workouts that will send your heart racing and your eyes popping and veins bulging with just these basic moves.

You will also learn other things like...... how to breathe for optimal alignment, how to improve your grip strength by at least 25%, correct your posture, make massive strength gains, joint mobility drills and bodyweight drills...and more!
