Functional Kettlebell Training (FKT)

Functional Kettlebell Training Certification

The Functional Kettlebell Certification is reshaping what can be done with the kettlebell for you and your clients. It is also leveling up the educational experience for learning how to integrate and use kettlebells.

The Kettlebell is arguably the most versatile tool in the gym. Knowing how to safely & effectively use the kettlebell in multiple ways sets you apart as a coach.

The FKT program teaches how to use the kettlebell in ways that take advantage of it’s unique shape and training opportunities. We want to do more with kettlebells, not less.

The FKT understands that different people need different options, and as such every drill we teach provides safe and effective options to accomplish the same goals. FKT is non-dogmatic in its’ approach.

Upon completion of the FKT you will be confident in how to utilize the Kettlebell to uniquely load many variations of swings, cleans, snatches, presses, rows, windmills, getups, squats and more.

THE CERTIFICATION DELIVERY

We deliver our education both via digital online delivery, and with the 2-day live and in-person course. 

  1. Upon purchase you will receive video lessons to fundamentals (swings, cleans, snatches, turkish get-up, squat, deadlift) so that you can follow the prep program and be ready for the weekend certification live event.
  2. At the live event we will cover multiple ways to teach clients to be successful with bells. We’ll teach many variations and progressions of kettlebell techniques.
    1. At the live event you are required to practice, however we do NOT have a performance test out requirement. We are more interested in teaching the system, not your own level of output. You will certainly be physically challenged, but you do not need to worry about not passing due to a physical test.

While the course is designed for trainers, therapists and coaches, about 20% of  our attendees are simply kettlebell fans who attend for their own learning.

The FKT Cert is approved for ceu's for all major fitness organization as well as for physical therapy. (only not IL)

UPCOMING EVENTS

EARLY BIRD TICKETS ARE $799. Normal Tix are $999.

Traditionally the kettlebell is taught in one of two ways: hardstyle or sport style. The problem here is, of course, that many people enjoy or need more than one single option of how to use and be successful with a tool. We are very different in our approach than hardstyle or sport style certs.
Host a Kettlebell Cert

We run just a couple of 8-Week online courses each year. We are looking at running one in November 2024-January 2025, and another Feb 2025-April 2025. 

The 8-Week online Kettlebell Certification has a 2 hour lesson each week, plus a 1 hour implementation workout each week.
The benefit of this delivery is that you only have to learn for 2 hours at a time (vs the weekend where you get 16 hours in two days).
The online course INCLUDES complimentary attendance to any future in-person course that you’d like.

The online course also has pre-recorded lessons in addition to the live calls, and you have access to all of it forever.

The November course will only run if we have sufficient interest. Please fill out the form below!
