CKT — Certified Kettlebell Trainer
October 18-19, 2008

The CKT (Certified Kettlebell Trainer) certification is coming to Denver (Arvada, actually) on October 18-19, 2008. This is a very rare chance to get a legitimate Kettlebell certification with one of the world's most advanced kettlebell trainers. We are proud to sponsor and serve as the host for this event. Scroll to the bottom of the page for registration information.

It's no secret that kettlebells have proven themselves to be one of the most effective training tools in existence for developing every attribute on the physical/athletic continuum — strength, endurance, core strength, agility, flexibility and the list goes on. However, there really hasn't been a comprehensive system that brings together the all the benefits kettlebells have to offer. Until now! — that is where the CKT certification comes in!

What will you learn at a CKT certification?

  • The core Kettlebell lifts and all their variations!
  • How to properly execute all of the competition lifts involved in Russian Kettlebell Sport — swing, snatch, clean, jerk, clean and jerk.
  • How you can still achieve all of your fitness goals despite the challenge of limited time
  • How to design a program for any fitness goal you or your clients may have — strength, endurance, work capacity, muscle mass, mobility etc.
  • The necessary drills needed to help ensure you and your clients learn all the lifts safely
  • The multiple types of energy needed for powerful pressing and squatting
  • The importance of training for "time" and how it can take your "work capacity" through the roof!
  • How kettlebells train your body to effectively manage any type of force encountered in the real world
  • How to create the "blueprint" necessary for achieving mastery in Russian Kettlebell sport
  • Why kettlebells make you more resistant to injury
  • How kettlebells can be combined with other training methods to develop un-matched athleticism (more on this in the FMD certification!)
  • Why learning to regulate your tension is a huge must in improving your lifts and athleticism
  • And much more!
