WHY SHOULD A FITNESS PROFESSIONAL COMPLETE A KETTLEBELL CPD COURSE?
A Fitness Professional should complete a Kettlebell CPD Course if they plan to do the following
Use Kettlebell in their own training
Use Kettlebells in their Group Fitness classes
Use Kettlebells with their Personal Training clients
Kettlebell Training isn’t covered in depth during your initial Personal Training Certification and therefore chances are you haven’t been trained in how to use Kettlebells. This can result in the exercises not being performed properly which leads to less benefit and increased chance of injury.
Completing a Certification ensures that you can both perform the exercises correctly yourself AND coach your clients how to perform the exercises correctly.

WHAT CONCEPTS ARE TAUGHT IN A KETTLEBELL CERTIFICATION COURSE
Our Kettlebell Certification Courses are broken down into three main components
Component 1: The Science and Safety
Before we teach any exercises / workouts we want to make sure our students understand the science and the safety behind Kettlebell training – what are the benefits? What are the risks? Who should be doing Kettlebell training? Who shouldn’t be doing Kettlebell Training? Why would someone perform a Bent Over Kettlebell Row? Why not just do a Bent Over Barbell Row? Etc etc
Component 2: The Exercises
Once the student understands the science and safety behind Kettlebell training we then teach all the common Kettlebell exercises. We want to make sure
The student can complete the Kettlebell exercises themselves safely and with appropriate technique
The student can coach a client to complete the exercises safely and with appropriate technique
Component 3: Programming
Knowing all the different Kettlebell exercises is great but it doesn’t mean much if you can’t program them. So the next thing we cover is programming. We want to make sure
The student can program a safe, fun and effective workout for a coaching client
The student can program a safe, fun and effective workout for a Group Fitness class.

Our Reputation Precedes Us
Don’t just take our word for it. Take a look at what our students (personal trainers just like you) are saying about us. Our wide range of courses, workouts, drills, and games have helped them develop exercise programs that are fun, safe, and effective.
The support that they’ve offered has been fantastic. My course is booked solid.

"Just completed the kettlebell course level one, and would highly recommend to anyone!! Such a good layout of content, with easy to follow videos, and for a visual learner like myself, it made the whole process of completing the course easy!
Thank you Travis and Jono”
Kate Galli says…
“The freedom to complete Kettlebell Level 1 from Fitness Education Online in my own time at home was fantastic. The course was thorough and easy to understand.
Thanks guys."
Catherine McCann says...
“I'm an NASM certified personal trainer and just completed the FEO Kettlebell CEU Course and I highly recommend it. The course was easy to follow, had great explanations and suggestions for instructing your clients on learning Kettlebell basics as well as great programming suggestions."
Sezz Thomas says…
“I've only been in the industry for a little under a year as I did my initial PT cert this time last year, and it took me all these years to take the leap into self employment. I've just completed the KB Essentials Level 1. Totally recommend! Loads of great ideas and have been introduced to some new movements, which I incorporate into my programming and classes regularly. Oh, and FYI, if you haven't done a FEO course yet, the feedback you get on assessments is personalised and thoughtful... so a big thank you to Travis and Jono for that. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to use, or already uses, KBs in their programming, classes and bootcamps..”
Nick Hill PT says...
“I've always fancied learning about Kettlebells but never got around to it. I came across Fitness Education and decided to do the online course. I loved every minute of course, there's loads of information and videos on the course. The videos have great step by step instructions from Travis and Jono and the menu is easy to navigate through. I didn't realise there was so much you could do with a kettlebell and this is only level 1. If you're thinking about doing it,
I'd definitely go for it.!”
Ky Crisdale says…
“I am a Personal Trainer/Fitness Instructor From Gippsland. Also running mums n bubs Bootcamps for 3years. I have completed my Kettlebell 1 course and thoroughly enjoyed it as did my clients. I learnt alot of tips to which I needed to correct as a PT. I searched Fitness Online via Google's online courses due to being more practical for me as I am also a mum of two so Online Course was much easier for me to complete in my own time. This course is recommended to any trainers out there who like using Kettlebells and alot of compound movements. Its a great learning tool.
Thank You so much Travis & Jono”
