Classes Start in Whitchurch
Kettlebell Club classes have now started on Wednesdays 7-8pm in the Parish Hall, Whitchurch. Your first session is free.
EDIT: CLASS TIME AND LOCATION HAS NOW CHANGED. SEE SCHEDULE AND FEES FOR UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION.
Follow this link for the location - Map.
"Despite being nothing more than an iron ball with a fixed handle, the kettlebell has stood the test of time as its history can be traced back as far as the ancient Greeks.
The kettlebell provides the combined benefits of cardio and weight training in one devastatingly effective fitness tool and, because the nature of the kettlebell constantly forces you to control both your body and the bell, it provides a unique training effect that no other single exercise from comes close to duplicating.
Exercising with a kettlebell provides a very different, challenging but enjoyable, fat burning and stress busting workout that results in a healthy mind and lean body, which is as strong as it looks and as robust as it is graceful.
The kettlebell develops not only a powerful, healthy heart that supplies a coordinated team of strong yet flexible muscles imbued with functional strength-endurance and speed, particularly in the legs, hips and back muscles, but also agility and real core stability. "
Taken form The Kettlebell Bible
Annie Bushell and Will Dollar have over 30 years combined experience in fitness training. They have a passion for exercise and want to share that passion with as many people as they can pass to on their amazing knowledge and enthusiasm to get people fitter and looking great for ever!
