About KBC
In business since 2002, KettleBell Concepts (KBC) is the business to business leader in kettlebell education for highly credentialed, currently practicing fitness professionals globally. The depth, breath, and scope of the materials presented are geared solely toward fitness and other allied health professionals. With over 5,000 trained and counting, KettleBell Concepts is the only place fitness industry leaders, fitness professionals and other allied health professionals go to get education, products and business solutions for programming. All courses are CEC approved and on the product side their KBC-brand kettlebells are distributed exclusively by KBC’s distributor—SIL FITNESS—a company with a 20 year history in the fitness marketplace.
Science & Research
KBC’s material is extensively annotated and backed by the latest research. Courses are conducted in the language of science with the understanding that attendees are trained, properly credentialed, currently practicing fitness professional working with clients of all types.
We ignore dogma. We eschew “gurus.” KBC has always (and will continue) to seek the “why’s behind the how’s.” The goal is to create, encourage, and cultivate critical thinking skills that will apply not just to kettlebells, but to other modalities as well as you continue on in your fitness journey.
The kettlebell is just a tool. A great tool to be sure—and it’s something that can bring a lot to not only your clients, but to you as well as a business owner. But it is—still—just a tool. We encourage our students to be wary of swallowing too much of any one type of Coolaide.
