Kettlebells for Women
“Since starting kettlebell training 6 months ago I have slimmed down, my strength has increased and I have so much more energy. Bring it on!”
Why are kettlebells so great for women?
Training with kettlebells or swinging this hunk of metal around causes huge changes in the body. The workouts are quick but intense so they are suitable for busy mom's or career driven professionals. It's amazing how quickly changes happen in the body because women aren't usually used to this type of stimulus.
What Results do Women Achieve with Kettlebells?
Women in particular tend to avoid any kind of resistance training with the fear that they are going to put on muscle or "bulk up", this is definitely not the case with kettlebells. Kettlebell training is a type of strength-endurance training so the muscles never get the correct stimulus to grow larger, instead they tone and harden up, and simultaneously the cardiovascular system is also improved. Imagine running the 100 metres without even moving your feet, and you get some idea of what a kettlebell swing can feel like.
We train more women than men!
For some reason women seem to enjoy kettlebell training more than many other types of exercise. Most of my kettlebell classes are dominated by women and it does become addictive. Many ladies have been training for over 1 year with me. What starts off as a daunting task for many soon turns into a longing for a heavier and more demanding kettlebell.
“I love Greg’s kettlebell classes – how can something so brutal be so much fun?” Kim, Dow Jones
"Even though I’ve always been slim I wanted to try something new to tone up the thighs and bum of mine. It took only 6 weeks of Kettlebell training with Greg before I noticed the considerable improvement in my strength and stamina. I’ve developed muscles I never knew existed! In my opinion, the gym doesn’t compare or even come close to Greg's Kettlebell training. I’m loving how toned my body looks and all the compliments that come with it" Michelle, London
