Who is it for?

Personal Trainers, Strength & Conditioning Specialists, Movement Professionals and Fitness Enthusiast who want to:

  • Gain the tools to improve clients’ movement efficiency with kettlebells and grow their business

  • Progress their knowledge and own kettlebell skillset to stay ahead in the industry.

  • Sharpen their critical thinking & problem solving skills and help change the lives of their clients

As a clinician and trainer, I get it. There is A LOT of continuing ed out there and it may seem confusing to choose between them all!

let me help you out...

I aim to provide you with the tools to stand out as a coach. Through my unique approach, you will change the way you look at movement and kettlebell exercises. You’ll be able to:

  • Identify the root cause of common movement limitations specific to kettlebell exercises

  • Analyze movement and exercises from the lens of anatomy & biomechanics.

  • Progress kettlebell exercises and programs from start to finish

  • Create programs that meet the needs of your client

Here’s the reality:

The training industry is highly saturated yet clients’ are still not seeing results. I believe this is due to the lack of effective continuing education that provides practical tools for making noticeable changes. It’s important to note that mastering these concepts will require time and dedication. To help with this, you will have the opportunity to practice and apply these concepts in real-life situations every week, and I will be there to guide you every step of the way.

Become a well respected Kettlebell Specialist

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Use a simple step by step assessment process to identify the root cause of movement dysfunctions within the scope of kettlebell exercises.

  • Select specific drills to create immediate changes in movement quality and kettlebell skills

  • Write a thorough Program that meets the needs of the clients’ movement & fitness goals

"The Bell Mechanics Course will EXCEED your expectations!"

Words straight from the mouths of previous students! I surveyed the previous cohorts about their experience and here's what they have to say:

What made you sign up for the KBF Course?

"I trust you (Sam) you would teach me all of your knowledge about kettlebells and how I can better serve my clients! And you did, thank you!"

Do you feel more confident executing the KB Skills you learned?

"Yes, I understand many of the kettlebell exercises much better and I have never had such good explanations and instruction on technique and set up before. I still have a lot to learn though and I'm just looking forward to keep practicing."

Do you feel more confident executing the KB Skills you learned?

"So much more confident! I'm able to review my execution of the skills we covered, and others as well, and see clearly where I can improve. And then for the areas where I can improve, I actually know exactly what I should be doing and I know the drills and focus areas I should practice to help get me there! "

Do you feel comfortable coaching these skills to someone else?

"Yes! We learned the skill during the video tutorials, practiced with our video submissions, and reinforced during the live calls - such that I feel confident being in the teaching position!"

Do you feel comfortable coaching these skills to someone else?

"Absolutely. Before taking this course, I was only coaching swings with clients and wanted to expand my knowledge base to add cleans and snatches. I've begun coaching those movements. I feel like this course didn't just add to my knowledge base, it also provided confidence and trust in my own ability to coach and educate my clients."

Do you feel comfortable coaching these skills to someone else?

"Yes. Not only did my KB technique greatly improve, but you gave great instruction on how to coach someone else and trouble shoot with them. Also, I found your instruction great for clients that may not be doing kettlebells too. This course was awesome!!"

Do you feel you have a deeper understanding of human movement?

100%! Not just KB movement exclusively but overall, and my interest is sparked into continuing to dig deeper into this! One move at a time like you showed us so that concepts are easily digestible!"

Do you feel you have a deeper understanding of human movement?

"Absolutely!! The biggest thing I took away from this course was that all the "issues" I have experienced in the past 2-3 years as an athlete, from injuries or pain with running, areas of weakness with KBs, and certain KB exercises where my form can most improve (aka my salsa hips!) are all interconnected! And even better yet is I have the knowledge now to work on specific things to improve and become a better athlete in all those areas. This course has truly been so eye opening for me as an athlete and I couldn't be happier with the knowledge I have gained! "

"KBF sharpens your coaching eye"

Jenny Lam

"This course has truly been a game changer!"

Bridgette Karl

This course has been truly a game changer! I dropped the money and I have never looked back! It was the detailed beat by beat breakdown of each movement…when I am teaching classes or in a session, I see it! I have the answers and it is the coolest thing!

"This course has exceeded my expectations!"

Amanda Ranahan

“As a non-coach I signed up for this course to learn more about the science, mechanics and the why behind kettlebell movements. I can say this course has exceeded my expectations in every way! I learned so much about not just KB mechanics, but about breathing and movement in general”

"As a trainer, there was not one lesson where I didn't walk away learning something new"

Lauren Kanski

“From a trainer’s perspective, I’ve done everything under the sun, I speak this language all the time. There was not one lesson, module or part of this course where I didn’t walk away learning something new, refreshed, inspired, in some way to go apply this to all the people that I coach”

"Sam is a phenomenal coach!"

Jess Reilly

“Sam is a phenomenal coach! I knew since the day I met her I wanted to work with her. She knows what she is talking about, she’s humble and she knows how to run a group. You get to learn, get out of your comfort zone, ask questions and become a better coach as a whole”

"You'll be able to incorporate KB skills with CONFIDENCE!"

Kendra Turner

“This was an incredible course! GAME CHANGER for me. You will learn so much as a coach and MUCH more. You’ll be able to incorporate KB skills with confidence for YOUR personal workouts and for your clients. It’s a WIN WIN! Thanks Coach!”

"I decided to try what we learned...her back was happy again!"

Merav Zecharia Gueta

“I have a client who suffers from low back pain every time she lifts heavy weights. I decided to try what we learned in our two sessions with breathing, loaded beast exercise and what a miracle it did! Her back was happy again & we continued training with no pain. Thank you so much!”

The confidence I have in the movement now compared to the beginning (when I thought I knew what was up lol) is unbelievable! I also feel across the board more confident in my coaching of the movements and being able to better understand and communicate the anatomical side has been fantastic too.

What's the difference between the LIVE & Self-Paced Course?

You have access to the same materials in both options, so technically you can go at your own pace in the live course too. The difference between the live course is that you get the most updated version of the course, access to LIVE lectures, Practice Sessions and 1:1 technique feedback. *CEUs offered for both options.

FAQ

  • Is this a self-guided course?

    It can be, but I truly believe to you will get the most out this course by attending the weekly calls & submitting your assignments for 1:1 feedback. There is a Self-Paced option (see above).

  • How much time should I allot for every week?

    Save 3 Hours out of your week to walk through the self-guided lectures, quizzes & submit your homework assignments. *You are welcome to spend more time as needed!

  • When are the LIVE Calls?

    Lectures are Wednesdays @ TBD EST. Movement Days are Thursdays @ TBD EST. (I will send out a survey a few days before the course begins to lock down the best time for us)

  • How many kettlebells do I need?

    1, but 2 is recommended! Since this is an educational course, you need them for your assignments & practice sessions. A whole set is not necessary!

  • Can I still get my Certificate & CEUs if I don’t pass the Exam?

    You will get your Certificate of Completion but you need to pass with 80% or more for the CEUs

  • Do I have to be a Trainer/ fitness professional to attend?

    Nope! This course is for those who want to take their knowledge to the next level & apply it to kettlebells. There are sections designated for trainers who want to get better at coaching/programming with the reward of CEU credits.

  • Do I get to keep the course?

    You have lifetime access to your course! If you are interested in having access to latest course material, I suggest to consider the Bell Mechanics Mentorship after.

  • Is there a refund policy?

    I am confident you will learn at least one key concept you can apply to yourself or your client every week! If you put in the work, attend most of the calls, participate in group discussions, quizzes and still did not learn anything…I will refund you.

  • How much does the KBF Course cost?

    $100/week! (12 week course). We offer a 3 and 6 month payment plan.

You have options!

Choose between a 3 month payment plan or One-Time Payment (discount)
