How kettlebell training works
Learn the hinge
Most kettlebell work starts with the hips. You learn the pattern before the weight.
Build your sessions
Wayne combines swings, squats, presses and carries into short, full-body workouts.
Progress the bell
Heavier bells, harder moves or more rounds, only when your technique is ready.
Which kettlebell weight should you start with?
Turn the kettlebell and choose a weight to see its size and what it suits. Cast iron bells grow as they get heavier, so a 24 kg bell is about a seventh bigger than a 16 kg one.
8 kg kettlebell
A good first bell for learning goblet squats, presses and rows. Many beginners start their swing practice here too, then move up once the hip hinge feels natural.
12 kg kettlebell
A common starting point for swings and deadlifts if you are newer to strength training, and a solid pressing weight as you get stronger.
16 kg kettlebell
Often the first swing weight for people who already train. Heavy enough to build real strength and fitness in short sessions.
24 kg kettlebell
A goal for many lifters: heavier swings and deadlifts once your hips do the work and your back stays neutral. Built up to over months, not weeks.
Everyone is different. Wayne sets the right weight for each exercise in your plan and moves it up as you get stronger. Kettlebell training with Wayne
What a kettlebell session looks like
Kettlebell sessions start with mobility and the basics: the deadlift, the goblet squat and the hip hinge. Once your hinge is solid, Wayne teaches the swing, then moves on to cleans, presses, rows and carries. Sessions can be strength focused, with heavier bells and longer rests, or conditioning focused, with lighter bells and timed rounds. A pair of kettlebells is enough to train well at home, so kettlebells suit online coaching too.
Why kettlebells are worth learning
One kettlebell can train your whole body. Swings build the hips, back and grip while raising your heart rate, and presses and carries build strong shoulders and a stable core. Kettlebell training takes little space and little time, which suits busy weeks. Technique matters, especially for the swing, so Wayne, a Level 2 Kettlebell Instructor, coaches it carefully before the weights go up.
Who kettlebell training suits
Kettlebell training suits people who want to train at home with little equipment, busy professionals who have 30 minutes rather than an hour, and anyone who wants strength and fitness from the same session.
“Training with my personal trainer has genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my body and overall wellbeing. Every session feels intentional and tailored to my needs, goals, and how my body feels that day.”
Kettlebell training questions
I have never used a kettlebell. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Wayne starts with how to pick a kettlebell up, hold it and hinge safely, then builds to swings and presses only when they feel solid. Most people start with a light bell and move up as their technique improves.
Can I do kettlebell training at home?
Yes. One or two kettlebells and a little floor space are enough for a full session, which is why kettlebells suit busy people who train at home. Wayne writes the plan around the weights you have.
I’m a complete beginner. Will it be too hard for me?
No. Every plan has beginner-friendly options and clear guidance. Whether you have never picked up a dumbbell or you are coming back after a break, Wayne will help you feel confident from day one.
What if I don’t have time to train every day?
That is fine. Two or three workouts a week can bring real change. Wayne builds a plan around your actual week so it never feels overwhelming.
