Kettlebell Training
Body, mind and spirit“It’s an art form, it’s meditative, it makes you more balanced, it’s about stronger bodies and stronger minds, there is never an end, there is no destination, there is just the journey”
Benefits
When lifting kettlebells using your whole body and mind, the movements will flow, you begin to dance with the kettlebell and this is where all the benefits come from; It heals, it strengthens you and it makes you better. It is not a weight loss club. The mind-set is how to become a more technically efficient, fluid and smoother lifter. As a pay off, you will be increasing your energy levels, your mobility, harnessing your inner power and raising your performance. To get the most from your Kettlebell lifting you need to get the fundamentals right. Kettlebell lifting is complex and there are multiple layers to the key lifts. It takes time to learn the subtle movements and the precise breathing patterns. It will take months, if not years, of consistent practice and you have to be patient to learn the right technique for the lifts gradually over time. Enjoy that time, as this is where the ‘magic’ is.
Credentials
I have been training with kettlebells since 2008 and coaching since 2010. In 2014, I proudly became England’s first IKFF Master Kettlebell Trainer, mentored by internationally acclaimed coach Steve Cotter. The IKFF prides itself as being an evolving and ever improving organisation, thus you can feel confident that you are truly learning a cutting edge system with methodology that will deliver results. In 2017, I won the bronze medal in the English Open Kettlebell Pentathlon.
I am delighted to offer the International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation CKT1 Qualification in the UK.

“Five Stars!”

“Mike’s training methods focus on the fundamental kettlebell lifts; the swing, press, clean, jerk, snatch, long cycle, and the Turkish get up and these are the centrepiece of the workouts he has tailored for me, with a few bodyweight exercises thrown in such as Hindu push ups, Hindu squats, pull ups and some ‘man makers’ for good measure. I am stronger, healthier and I feel more energetic than ever before. Mike has a wealth of knowledge and I’m constantly learning. If you’re looking for real results, get some kettlebells and Mike is your man.”

“I was extremely pleased to find Mike’s on-line persona was no different to how he is in real life. Friendly, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable about Kettlebells. Each training session I’ve had with Mike has been appropriate to my goals and has built on the previous session both in terms of technique development and exercise intensity. I’ve always left feeling tired, but not absolutely shattered and not had the disabling muscle soreness the next day, which some trainers see as a badge of honour. As a result my Kettlebell technique has improved hugely as has my fitness. I’m now able to use heavier Kettlebells for longer sessions than I ever thought I’d be able to. ”
