Kettlebells only, six people to a coach

Forty-five minutes, one tool, taught properly. Swing, squat, press and carry, until they are yours.

Your first four sessions

One

No kettlebell for the first twenty minutes. We watch you hinge, squat and breathe, and find the weight that is right, which is lighter than you think.

Two

The swing. Only the swing. Thirty short sets, each coached. It is the whole club in one movement.

Three

The goblet squat and the carry. Your legs will tell you about this one on Thursday.

Four

The first press overhead. After this you join the normal sessions, with a card that says what you lift.

Before you come

Shoes
Flat and thin, or none. Running shoes with thick soles make the swing harder and your back unhappier.
Injuries
Tell us at the first session. Most things we work around; a few need a doctor's note first and we will say which.
Age and fitness
Our oldest member is seventy-one. Nobody needs to be fit to start; that is what the first four are for.
Missing a session
Cancel by midday and it moves to another day that week. Later than that, it is gone.
