The form & movement of Kettlebells is very different than what most people are familiar with - It is very difficult to understand the proper form and movement from a DVD. There is a specific progression that occurs. The foundation movements of Kettlebells is mastered before moving on to any other movement. Then and only then, should you advance to the next level. Some clients do get the basics very quickly but even the most savvy kettlebell training enthusiast will be sure they have mastered each stage before advancing to the next level. If you want to train with Kettlebells, Kettlebell Fitness CT trainers are experienced with Kettlebells and will be sure you are training effectively & safely.

The Fitness industry today=Marketing!

really?, Really??,REALLY???! This is Andreas, Owner of KettlebellFitnessCT.... I'm about to make a really bold statement about the Fitness industry today and Sorry if you are part of it and are offended, but the truth hurts!:

I am sick to my stomach seeing the "Personal Trainers" and "Fitness Professionals" trying to make $ at the expense of people being naive! I was proudly one of the 1st CERTIFIED Kettlebell Trainers in Connecticut back in 2006 waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy before it became "Trendy"!
Now everybody wants to do "Kettlebell training" since it has gone mainstream and jump on the bandwagon.... but not for the right reasons!!! Kettlebell training is a very specific way of training that took me almost a year to master! Watching a "You tube video" or buying some DVD at Target or Walmart is very dangerous!

For the majority of "personal trainers" and everyday fitness enthusiasts that are teaching/learning Kettlebells this way....let me ask you this question: Does your lower back or shoulders hurt when working with Kettlebells?!? If the answer is "YES" pleeeeeease Put down that underweight(10-20lb) Kettlebell that you can curl or shoulder press like a Dumbbell and learn the proper movement!!!!!!! Bob, Jillian & your local gym that learned KB training from them or "You Tube" is not how to get in the best shape of your life using them!

A contoured "Bob" bell, or adjustable "Jillian"bell just torques your wrist and makes them $....It i isn't "Fitness" its "Marketing"!!!

I apologize for being so bold, but my Fitness team & I truly are about making people feel better and fit.....not about jumping on the latest bandwagon to try to market "trendy"!


If you don't like the message I stand behind and convey....feel free to shoot me a line, I will proudly and sincerely listen to anyone who has an intelligent/legitimate rebuttal!

February is designated as American Heart Month and today is “Go RED for Women”. KBF client Yvonne and I, as well as people all over the country, wore red today to show support and to raise awareness to heart disease, women’s No. 1 killer. Men, you aren’t excluded from this disease and also need to pay attention to your heart health. We’re all so busy but so many of us don’t take the time to make their health a priority. In order to take care of all the people you love in your life (and not have those that love you lose you) you need to stay active and healthy. KettlebellFitnessCT would like to help you take an active role in staying Heart Healthy by starting a fitness & nutrition program. Come join us by making February the month you begin to do this for yourself and for someone you love…and have some fun in the process!

Set-backs…it happens to the best of us. Those moments where something happens to disrupt that great training routine. No worries, the best part is you can pick up where you left off. Get yourself back to training. It may not make problems go away but it definitely puts everything back in perspective. Training not only conditions your body but it conditions your mind. When you feel strong, you are more confident and you realize you can overcome almost anything. Get in touch with your inner strength!

Staying Focused

Sometimes when there’s so much going on in your life and clouded with thoughts and emotions, it’s sometimes difficult to stay focused. Those thoughts become a negative force that over power the best of us. Whether it’ a relationship, work situation, or one of the many other personal things that go on in our life, it seems that your mind and your heart can sometimes be at odds with each other. One of the ways I’ve found to turn those internal battles around is a kick-butt workout. Those negative thoughts just come streaming out and all of a sudden you realize that you are a powerful person! You are strong in both body and mind! The advantage of working out with a Personal Trainer or Fitness Coach is, they get to really know you and know when and how much to push you. The most valuable thing training has taught me is that I can get through anything. Visualize the move...Move your body though the sequence and see yourself execute the move…then with that same focus, breathe, and…you did it!! You just completed and accomplished what you set out to do! The same hold true in your daily life. When the situation is tough, visualize what you need to do to get though it, breathe and your focus becomes clear again. Then to make it all better, go for an awesome workout!!
