Extreme Kettlebell at Fitness First France

The first trip to France for kettlebell training and installation has just taken place. We have installed Extreme Kettlebells into 4 of the Fitness First clubs in Paris, inlcuding the brand new club in St Germain. As well as the installations, the package included our 4 hour workshop. So in my best French, the personal trainers of Paris had their first introdcution into kettlebell training. A keen group of trainers got to grips with the basics quickly and were soon snatching and cleaning the kettlebell with ease.
Well done to the group, it was a pleasure working with you for the day and I look forward to hearing about the success you're having with kettlebells.

Fit Pro Convention

2008 was the Optimal Life Fitness Groups first year at the Fit Pro Convention. With a van full of kettlebells we travelled up to Loughborough to set up for the convention. Once again, the huge inflatable Extreme Kettlebell was flying proud as you can see in the photo.





The team had a great 3 days on the stand and showing the crowd what Extreme Kettlebells can do on the demo stage. We even started to do our demos with the music from the Fit Pro shop! It made for a great 15 minute workout and something that we've carried on doing for all of our demo's.
For us, it was a good opportunity to speak to personal trainers from all over the UK. Since the Fit Pro Convention we have now started our Extreme Kettlebell National Tour, where we will be visiting Cities across the UK running our 2 day Instructor Course. To see the venues and dates for these please go to our calendar of dates

Esporta Chiselhurst Training and Installation

This week we were in Chiselhurst for the day to educate their Personal Trainers and install Extreme Kettlebells into the club. The trainers completed the 1 day 'Introduction to Kettlebell Training Course' They now have a full set of Extreme Kettlebells and are looking forward to getting all of the members into kettlebells. I actually went down there in the evening to introduce some of the members to kettlebells and run some short intro sessions for them. I hope the members will get to grips with the kettlebells as soon as possible. There are now Esporta trainers across the UK that have done the course and are now using kettlebells.
So if you're in an Esporta club at any point, look out for the kettlebell trainers.
