Functional Kettlebell Training Certification - NYC

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.

Since 2022 we have run 80 kettlebell certifications, with over 2,000 attendees. Developed by our team, and principally by Clifton Harski who taught kb certifications since 2012, this kettlebell certification stands out in the industry for being truly unique.

This is a dogma free certification. We are confident in saying that this will be the most comprehensive kettlebell education you can find.

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

• 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.
• Entire programming lessons and examples online
• 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.
• 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 20-25% of our attendees are simply kettlebell fans who attend for their own learning.

With any questions, please book a call here to talk with our COO Clifton. https://calendly.com/clif-painfreetraining/30min
