Receive daily challenge emails with focused lessons, instructional video supercuts from our extensive training library, and interactive quizzes.
Optional full workouts are prescribed for daily practice, but the educational content is condensed so you can get through the material even if you can't spend an hour working out every day.
Saturday, November 14: Two-Hour Live Skills & Drills Workshop
10:00 AM Central Time | Live on Zoom
Put what you've learned into practice with live instruction, drills, and opportunities to demonstrate your Core-6 skills!
Can't make the live Zoom workshop? We'll deliver the recording to your inbox.
Certification & Next Steps
Pass the quizzes, attend the workshop (live on zoom or through the replay) and upload your technique photos to earn your Level 1 Core-6 Certification (2-week grace period allowed to finish the requirements).
Level 1 is a prerequisite for Level 2: Kettlebell Fitness Trainer Certification, but it's also a standalone certification for anyone who simply wants to be great with kettlebells.
What Equipment Do I Need?
Just one matching pair of lightweight kettlebells, any brand or style. You don't need Pro Kettlebells to participate, but you'll receive a kettlebell discount code when you join the program. *It's better to modify and use one kettlebell than not participate at all if you don't have a pair, but you will be missing out on some of the training exercises.*

The Pro Kettlebell Method
Why We're Different
Pro Kettlebell evolved from Seattle Kettlebell Club, home to ~20,000 hours of training between hundreds of members, thousands of visitors, dozens of trainers, and workshops with legends like Valery Fedorenko. The daily experience at SKC provided enormous opportunity to put many different training methods, teaching cues, and kettlebell techniques to the test.
The Pro Kettlebell Method is the result of that journey and experience. Starting from:
-
Not knowing what kettlebells were good for
-
Having a full roster of personal training clients between 4 am and 10 pm every day
-
Creating and filling up kettlebell classes
-
Owning a gym focused only on kettlebell training
-
Growing the largest kettlebell sport team in the world
-
Designing a better kettlebell to serve all these people
Today, our patented kettlebells are being used all around the world. Whether you own them or not, you're invited to join us on our mission: good technique for everyone, workouts that build you up without beating you up, and pursuit of lifting the good life!
