The problem with the kettlebell in the industry is that it's too good a tool making it bad product to sell. If you bought a set of light bulbs that never break, how many bulbs would you buy in your life? Same with the kettlebell. You buy a set and will never need another one again. You won't be a returning customer.

@@red57dryad no worries, I do! You're absolutely right that these are part of the bigger picture. However, in this case I see the physical product as the bigger driver compared to those service offerings. Because there are competitions, but they aren't spectator sports, so it's hard to market them. Community you can find anywhere for any interest you may have. And you only need a KB program if you have a KB. So if the interest doesn't come from the competition scene it either needs to come from marketing the tool, again unattractive for a one off purchase product, or from teaching the benefits, like Gregory does. And he can only reach people who are interested in the first place.

not only that, but they aren't sexy looking and they are hard. People who know KB's know that lifting that weight is a mighty fine lift. People who don't are like "that's all you are lifting?"

I love the energy Gregory. Passion ❤

This is spot on. 100% agree with you and loving the energy and (justified) anger. You are doing a fantastic job, keep pushing hard.

I can understand the frustration, but I am kind of proud to be part of something that has not been swallowed up by the industrie. I think Kettlebells are just too honest, too elemental.

Love your PASSION I’m pretty new to kettlebells 56 years old with low oxygen levels from long covid recent back surgeries, 5 or 10 mins with one of my kettlebells I feel fitter and stronger. I’m hooked on them I can’t do much yet but I will get there. I keep them close and do little but often it all adds up and I’m making progress.

I'm a KB head and I'm still watching Lebe Stark!

I am a kettlebell user until i saw you teaching proper teachniques and the underrated benefits of this powerful tool. I am now hooked and constantly relies on your videos to do my workout everyday. You and Angie are truly an inspiration, please continue to do this for so many many years ahead.

Hahaha my first thought of the picture was he is finally sponsored by BMW! 😂 Please do this type of videos as well. It's very engaging. (Also in addition to the event, the big names push to the young ones and they are not exposed to other types of training like kettlebells (not fancy or quick way to get big they say) It's all about the body building and quick way to get big or have a backside that looks big in leggings). They want the short cut. There's a saying "shortcut killed the deer". Kettlebell is for longevity. They are missing out. We need more exposure for more awareness.

Nevermind! Keep going! Angie and you are the best trainers on youtube! I learned a lot from you guys! Thank you for your vibe and work! ❤🎉

I love my kettlebell training and trust it will serve me for many years to come (I am 71). I was originally inspired by Tracy Reifkind and her SwingLean program. I've expanded far beyond that in the last couple of years after discovering you and others passionate about the kettlebell. I do mix it up now with other modalities for whole body variety and challenge but, push come to shove,. I can always rely on my kettlebells if nothing else suits. I strive to do some kettlebell movement every day. Your passion keeps me coming back, keep up the good work.

Deine Leidenschaft zu diesem Sport, hat mich, 49/Frau, wieder dazu gebracht, zur Kettlebell zu greifen. Ich trainiere regelmäßig seit 2 Monaten und fühle mich großartig. Ich verstehe das du enttäuscht von der Industrie bist, die den Kettlebellsport besser repräsentieren sollte. Ich möchte dir danken für deinen tollen Support hier auf KZread, du erreichst wahrscheinlich mehr Menschen als du denkst. Mach bitte weiter so, bleib stark, Lebestark 💪

I enjoyed Kettlebell so much I got certified to teach. I now have a program in beta which incorporates Muay Thai and Kettlebell, called Muay Thaibata™ Pro, based on my Muay Thai and Calisthenics program, but taking it up a notch. My friend years ago tried to get me into them, and I avoided it. After I started due to an injury over a year ago, I'm stronger, lighter, have far more endurance and stamina then I had in my twenties. At 48 I even got back in the ring, and at 49 I'm ready to go again. You aren't wrong, this is where it's at, and I'm an addict. Thank you for all your videos, I enjoy them all!

I like this channel not only for workout stuff- for your emotions too :D

It need’s more exposure. I didn’t give kettlebell a second thought until I saw Pavel on Joe Rogan. Now kettlebell, heavy club, and mace are my primary fitness tools. I try telling people about them, because I think they’re so cool, but people’s eye’s usually glaze over. Ha ha. I’m a fan of the channel. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for turning me onto kettlebells years ago!

I Follow you years, i started with a 10 kg kettlebell now i am training with double 20ies and single 24. Never hurted myself from kettlebells under you advice and instructions. I could do double 24s but i am training alone so i am not ready yet.

The problem is you can get just buy a couple of kettlebells and that would be all the equipment you needed for life. I imagine trade expos to mainly be interested in stuff they can keep selling.

😳 Those CENTR kettlebells look like kettlebell purses! 👜

Hey Lebe, 99k followers.....closing in the magic 100k. Well done. Remember it wasn't long ago when you only had a few thousand.....a bit like getting results from kettlebell training, consistency and hard work pays off.

This is why I love this sport, it is NOT superficial, it is straightforward, interesting and gets results better than anything I've ever tried. It doesn't require a gym membership although I take mine to the ymca where I work and people stop and stare at me lol. I can haul my groceries up stairs and carry my toddler without heavy breathing it is functional to everyday life. It feels good being a part of this super secret club I secretly kindof hope it stays this way so it is never mainstream and under appreciated. Much respect to you and Angie for your passion to genuinely help people toward a better way of living!

I love it. You and Angie are the best. I feel your pain and totally agree. More please....

A marital art is exactly that...an art. Art takes time, practice and patience. A lot of people want instant results. I found your channel because I have gone back to my first love...The Kettlebell😍 and I am finding your channel and passion inspiring. Keep it up!! I am an Ex personal trainer btw😇

Well said brother!! I recently signed up in a "functional" gym for 3 months. Just to see how the coaches and the clients are, since I want to become a kettlebell coach myself. Every time I see someone use a kettlebell its just cringe and sad.

Gregory, I love your passion. I love the idea the kettlebells are the martial arts of exercise. Keep it up. I am 57 years old and am getting into the best physical condition of my life. Kettlebells, which I began using three years ago, have become foundational in rebuilding my functional fitness so I can better enjoy mountain biking, hiking snowshoeing, and skiing in the mountains of Utah where I now live. I discovered your KZread channel about the time I purchased my first kettlebell. Your clear and easy instructional videos helped me learn to use them without injuring myself, which is key as you get older and spent a career sitting in front of a computer. I now evangelize about kettlebells to anyone I speak to about fitness and I frequently point people to your channel. May your frustration fuel your crusade to popularize the use of kettlebells as an inexpensive and easy way to improve one's quality of life through greater health.

I haven’t been doing KB’s long but loving it, and already notice a difference in my strength and posture. Being able to workout at home (as not a fan of the gym) and much to learn but I’m looking forward to the journey. I lack confidence but I’m getting there. I don’t supplement just use food. Once you find something you love doing you stick with it and it’s KB’s for me over Dumbells. Also like you say keeps the brain ticking over too which is just as important in life. Keep up the great work 🙌🏻

Fitness and Bodybuilding Industry is about fancy stuff and consuming hundret of different things. Not about health and achiving long term fitness. And Crossfi is popular, because you can buy the most fancy suff!

Have loved kettlebells since I started using them 5+ years ago. Would love to teach kettlebell technique in my local crossfit gym or even just on the beach. But here is the problem. I have no paper qualification, just lots of experience from doing and some knowledge from watching people like yourself or Mark Wildman. I am too old to turn it into a coaching business (I'm 60) so I do not want to pay the sorts of prices it would cost to train and qualify and without the piece of paper to show that I know what I am talking about no-one wants to know. I can understand that but how do we popularise kettlebells if people like myself cannot freely or easily pass on our knowledge and enthusiasm?

Hey, Gregory! I am new to KBs and I find ur channel very interesting, top-3 for KBs for me. And I think, to be a part of small community is not bad at all. There is no wrong people. Only those who really interested in KB, true fans. So they are more friendly. Everything what becomes very popular goes bad in the end. It is life’s truth(

Yes, keep this up! 🎉🎉🎉 It's so refreshing to hear more about your thoughts.

Love you, man! Love your passion. I'm the converted. 63yo and been training, almost exclusively with KBs for the last couple of years. Love your stuff! Keep it up, my friend. Ciao

I'm playing rugby where explosive power is essential. However kettlebels are considered as a usless due to too low weight - disaster. I'm using kettles for my training snatches, cleans. You've had a series dedicated for various sports. Maybe this is an idea to approach runners, swimmers and other disciplines ?

I always wonder if these people talking about them being too light have tried the really heavy bells, 56kg, 68kg, etc. Or maybe the slightly lighter ones in doubles. Double 40kg+ is no joke. Their loss anyway

Gregory, don't be frustrated. What you're talking about is all hype and money, money, money and.....ego. Forget influencers. They are just people like everyone else. What I'm hearing is just a confirmation of what I've been saying since forever: This is the age of narcissism. It's all me, me, me.....I'm done.

Took me a while to wrap my head around the kettlebell workouts but after I did with your video help. I'm rocking and rolling. Thanks. Now it's really hard for me to imagine going back to a Bro Split. 👍

One last post.. i do intense weight training (btw I'm 67, 6' 213lbs 32" waist enjoying life feel - like I'm in my 30s) yoga to smooth out tightness and streach. KBs are the perfect additional PRIMARY EXERCISE to meld your strenght and flexibility together. It's awesome! Maybe an incorporated training program including several disciplines would enlighten everyone to the benefits of KBs.

I understand your frustration. There are tons of new fitness fads that come out all the time. They come and go, but kettlebells have been around for years. I think , no I know for a fact they are the best kept secret in fitness. And all you want is a little awareness of this great tool. I got your back!

Tell us how you really feel, Gregory! Love your passion and you make kettlebells interesting. Thank you for keeping me engaged and improving. I tell people to watch your channel every chance I get.

As your occasional viewer in the 50s working out at home with kettlebells as well as normal weights I have to admit that the kettlebell community has a certain arrogancy going on. At least it feels that way, there is a lot of gatekeeping going on with their technical names and dismissing of other kettlebell styles.

Disagree. There are arrogant pricks in every single gym. I started with Kbells when I was stationed in Germany in 2004. Couple dudes from Estonia were using them. I had no clue what they were. Definitely not arrogant and they totally helped me out. Tune out arrogance. It everywhere and mostly just insecurity.

Gregory, Protein gives me fuel, but you give me FIRE. I immediately picked up my kettlebell and started working it when you brought the energy. I love your passion and your attitude. Preach the gospel of the kettlebell!

Love the passion Gregory ❤ I work away from home all the time and carry a 20kg KB in the van for training in hotels that do not have a gym. Even when the hotel does have a gym, I immediately look for Kettlebells, a pull-up bar, dip station. Learning the KB basic exercises, swings, clean and press, snatches,TGU etc are essential and unfortunately everyone looks💩 whilst learning new things, maybe that’s the issue? I enjoy combing KB snatches with pull-ups or concept 2 rowing intervals. Regular gym goers tend to look at me strangely, but I don’t mind, as I know the power that can be developed with this super tool 👍

Just wanted to say that your content has helped motivate me to do 200 kettlebell swings every day this month (April 2024). Every morning after waking up and before coffee I am working with my bell.

It can feel like most people just want to be able to buy their success. The compliments they get while flouncing around in their new branded sportswear and sipping on their branded protein shakes might give them a sense of that but if they want success with kettlebells then they will have to work for it, and that takes time. Also, there's no way to keep fleecing a kb user once they have what they need.

I completely understand your frustration coach. I respect your passion. Educating people about kettlebell sport will take a lifetime. 😊

I love your engery & passion ,I’ve just started doing kettlebell and I love It , All the Northern Ireland .

I ran into one of the OG’s of the powerlifting, bodybuilding world in 2022 - Randy Wilson. Randy was part of the Fred Hatfield, Bill Kazmaier, Ed Coan, inner circle in the 80s, and he still runs a successful training company in the area (pro and college athletes). I did some contracting work for his family and got to talk to him and pick his brain a good bit about training. When I told him that I was also Kettlebell instructor, the first sentence out of his mouth was this: “You can’t build muscle using momentum. You’ll never build anything that way.” He was respectful and a great guy, but think about how loaded that statement is. What it says about the current perception of KBs. And this coming from one of the original pioneers of adding bands and chains to barbell training. Among other things.

Great passion, Gregory! Most people are too soft to even try KB training…that’s why it’s not a “craze”.

OMG I am dying laughing at bottoms up presses 😂😂😂 We will bring the heat next year!!

And they’re oiled??!!!! Bwahahah

Mit Kettlebells zu trainieren ist "zu anstrengend" und nicht für den Mainstream gedacht. Man muss erst verstehen, dass der Körper eine Einheit ist, dass die Muskeln zusammenarbeiten müssen, um mit der Bell trainieren zu können. Es gibt Fehlschläge, schlechte Ausführungen etc. Es dauert, bis man besser bzw. gut wird. Viele wollen NICHT diesen Weg gehen. Da ist es doch viel einfacher, Maschinen zu nutzen, die den Körper isoliert trainieren. Außerdem bräuchte man eine große Anzahl von qualifizierten Trainern, die es nicht gibt. In den meisten Gym´s gibt es eine Einweisung von angelernten Trainieren. Sollen die diesen Job übernehmen?! Für Maschinen mag das reichen, aber nicht für Kettlebells.

Gregory! That's how you know you speak English well. You can go on a 20 minute rage rant in your second or 3rd language and still make sense.

Ich war vor kurzem auf der Suche nach einer neuen KB. War in einem Fitnessgeräte-Fachgeschäft, die auch KB haben. Du glaubst gar nicht mit was für Riesen-Augen mich der Verkäufer angeschaut hat, weil ich nach einer KB suchte mit einem Loch an der Unterseite. Er dachte ich erzähle dem irgendwas vom Pferd 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fwiw.. i recently got into KBs, in the last year. Of all the KZread channels i always kept coming back to your channel.. now i know why! Da passion b real - dog!

Training with it for years now. Halfway I' found Your channel. I'm not a sportsman I do it for health and fun. Couple of days ago I was doing some hobby carpentry and a 4 m long 10*10 wooden beam fell. I could hold and lift it with one arm. "Da**ck... I can do that?" (Might not seem much but try it some days) Kettlebell has little recognition? Don't really care :D. Thanks for motivating and training, you showed me Kettlebell from a totally new perspective and it became more fun!!! (and please do more "rage" vids :D)

Kettlebells and Maces made me better at HEMA. They are fantastic tools that improve strength, mobility, and help you understand how your body moves. I'm constantly pushing them on my students and I'm often shocked at how little people know about them. Keep preaching, some of us are listening!!!

I totally understand your frustration. I've been to a gym in my area that had a small "functional zone" (thanks to CrossFit) which had some nice kettlebells.. couple of yours later the functional zone is getting smaller and for some magical reason the nice iron kettlebells are now plastic! Like wt*!!! Till this date I'm one of the very very very few that touches a kettlebell in a gym (if it exists!). However, I'm proud of being one the few who knows the real value of kettlebell training. I don't care about the herd.

I totally agree with you but think of it differently: if all people start to pick a KB, a mace or a club, gyms would close! So the fitness industry doesn’t want this…

I remember way over ten years ago when the WKC was lobbying to get kettlebells into the olympics that a lot of these issues existed although others, like influencers, weren't a problem yet.

I'm new to kettlebells and this is great!!

I'm a 58 year old male who is not fussed on what anyone other than me thinks in relation to training, as a youth I did gymnastics then moved into body building, as I got older I got into powerlifting, now, all I do is the basic kettlebell moves, body weight and alot of mobility And whilst not as strong as I was when powerlifting, my fitness and mobility is the best it has ever been. Another bonus is that my wife says my physique and endurance is the best it has ever been, a case of classic functional fitness Stay fit, stay healthy, and have fun doing it In the end it is what one person's goals are, powerlifting strong? bodybuilding puffy? or the functional fitness and strength that comes from bells and body weight I've tried them all, the best I have found for me is functional fitness, I look good, feel good, and can keep doing it into my old age

Love the passion you have about kettlebells.

😂 This is so good! I appreciate your thoughts. You forgot one, "grease the groove," but I digress. I love bottons up press btw 😂😂 apparently I was over exuberant about kettkebells when I had large classes. Thanks again.

All the things I have done and continue to do because they work include Oly lifting, rope climbing, sprinting, kettlebells and gymnastics. These will always be “niche” because, as others have said, most people aren’t willing to put in the effort to learn how to do these things properly, even while admitting that those who do are superior athletes compared to the average gym junkie, let alone the average non- exerciser, which will always be the largest group by far. No amount of marketing will change the fact of most humans inherent laziness, combined with their inherent vanity, which will always gravitate toward trying to look good without actually being good. A snatch comp at a general fitness show would be dangerous, as most have no idea of proper technique and would try to cheat as much as they do with quarter push-ups and half pull-ups at the booths spruiking those comps I have seen at every “fitness expo” I have ever attended. BTW, while I sympathize with your frustration, don’t hate on bottoms up presses. They are an excellent way to improve balance, grip, proprioception and a correct pressing groove. If you want a challenge that would prove this to you, I have done 5 ladders of 1,2,3,4,5 on each side of bottoms up clean, press, full squat with a 24kg. 150 reps total in 40 minutes and I am in my sixties. I would like to see whether any/most “influencers” in their thirties could complete it.

I think you fight fire with fire here... Next FIBO or big sports trade show, you get Pro Kettlebell out there with some floor space and all the kettlebell influencers & pioneers. We're talking Pavel, Every Got Damn Dre, Mark Wildman, Funk & every guest you've had on the Kettle Knights podcast.

Good talk! Based on what I heard, it sounds like people still think of KBs as a circus act, which explains the odd choice of a bottoms up press. So, I agree they should have used the snatch and given it full respect.

Coach, as I said some months ago.. Make some clothing stuff with the "stranger swings" logo 😂

As a brand new Kettlebell practitioner and a new Lebe Stark follower and program follower, I also feel this is one of the best ways of general physical fitness tools available today. Thank you for all you do, kettlebell will explode in 2024 and beyond.

You got me into kettlebell, still a novice, but I absolutely love the kettlebells! KBs do magical things for the body!

Funny, kettlebells are the only workout equipment that I genuinely enjoy. I have a rowing machine, and i like it well enough, but I don't love it the way I love kettlebells. I have mine positioned in between my couch, and my kitchen so that every time I pass them I'm reminded to do a few swings, squats, clean &j press', or snatches before thinking about snacking between meals.

I enjoyed that rant/tangent/diary of your experience.

You have a good mix of talk and workout, I think that’s working for you keep it up!

Fuck the fitness industry. Who cares? Just like sandbag training and hill sprints, kettlebells are outside putting in some real rugged good work while people walk around these events with their fancy bullshit. I am happy the kettlebell doesn't get so widely adopted, personally. EDIT: I probably also feel this way because I get just as pissed as you when the only time you see people using kettlebells in real life they are doing some silly bullshit. EDIT 2: Definitely keep making videos like this. I like to feel like I am not the only one who goes on crazy rants about frustrating shit like this.

I like these types of videos. Keep it up. I've never heard of hyrox until now.

The most frustrating thing is being injured 😢 mind and body

The problem with chalk on the floor can be easily fixed by using liquid chalk. (random advise here, but looked like a good place to put it.)

I love this kind of video. What I love about kettlebells is that I can do everything I need with the 5 I have along with my pull-up bar and dip station. Two 50-lb bells or 22.7kg, two 35-lb bells. I also have one 30-lb bell for rotational stuff that you're not a fan of 😂.

I think the Kettlebell is gonna take off eventually. How could it not? I love the minimal design combined with maximum effects and the exercises are so simple. You are 100% responsible for inspiring me to buy my first Kettlebell a couple of years ago. I’m not ripped but I’ve definitely toned up. Even friends have noticed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. If you go back to that expo, I hope you’ll bring a small army of comrades that can demonstrate how awesome and effective the Kettlebell can be. Maybe that’s the next step in your journey-setting up a booth and getting the word out at some of these gatherings. If people only knew, they would be “snatching” them up! (Pun intended!) 💪

Good passionate rant... I understand your frustrations Brother...

I love your videos. I save a ton of your short videos for my workouts. I love kettlebells because they remind me of archery in the sense that there is always room for learning and improving. I wonder if many people don't want to tap into that aspect of exercise. Running, swimming, biking seem to be great for exercising while also being able to think about other things. I can't really think of other things when I am try to snatch a kettlebell. That might just be me. Lifting requires aggression and focus but then lacks the rhythm of movement required for the cardio exercises. So we have the kettlebell which covers the whole game. Just my opinion. Thanks for the videos and the good vibes.

Keep going, mate. KB's are the only things I train with. The doors to it's popularity are opening....slowly...but surely.

Most are looking for that easy fix, Lebe. And as those of us that use them know.....kettlebells ain't easy. P.s. I love light bottoms up presses as a warm up.....

Most gyms that have kettlebells have it for decoration. If they use it it's for goblet squats. Most PTs/instructors have no idea how to use it properly.

Kettlebells, cllubs,maces,sandbags, Bulgarian bags,slam and dballs, are the best real world functional tools period and yes even if i love barbells,dumbbells,speciality bars and all must learn to train with them even with some ROCKS and LOGS😁💪👌💯😎

I am sorry to see you suffer! I am a cardiologist, doing KB and powerlifting ; I display KB in my office and routinely recommend them. The growing niche for the next decade are babyboomers. Teach them to do KB! Your Channel will grow. Teach it to the oldies, be patient! They will love you! But maybe it’s not sexy enough for younger people to be a teacher to seniors….but there is the need, the motivation and the money . All the best from FIBO Cologne!

Agree 100%

Gergory, Welcome to America. If you go to any city in America there are all the same stores, same restaurants and same chain fitness. America lacks significant diversity that I enjoyed as a child. Many American gyms have a no chalk policy which is why liquid chalk is now all the rage. HYROX is similar to American wrestling practice. Half the team will be running laps around the mats. The other half will be doing exercises on the mat.

Yes continue to make these video's. Sounds like you're planning to expand what you do. It would be a good addition to your videos.

5:35-6:06 Haha I actually do recognize every one of those terms! 😂

I also a member of National KB team Belgium and is very hard to find new members, totally agree with you KB world is still in a niche we try to make in most 'popular' but not easy at all and yes it's frustrating if you have any idea I follow you :) the target it's make KB training out from home gym only or very small group so next year in FIBO if you want to make some 3 minutes Snatch competition Swing non stop 5 minutes some mini penthatlon.... I m on it ! Maybe it can give us some more visibility..after viewing your video I send a message to my team to contact other people and organize a stand at FIBO next dedicated to kettlebell only so we have one year to make it happen

You are right, o never liked the boring weight lifting, if o had seen the kb twenty years ago my body would be much better This is for the young people si that they do not put the kb in a niche and forget about it

Agree 100% with you!!! Kettlebells are life-changing in such a positive way yet, they are sparsely highlighted in the fitness industry. I love your passion for Kettlebells. Your coaching approach is genuine and fantastic. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU'RE DOING!!! DO NOT STOP, EVER. Machines are no bueno and don't deliver results like the Kettlebell does. Those of us that understand the value of Kettlebell need to come together and invade the status quo 🙂 LET'S GO GREGORY AND ANGIE!!!

Nice💥. A view years ago there were more kettlebells, even heavier than 48kg🤓.

Great video 👍 Please keep making them and I'd love too see you guys in your own Netflix series/documentary that would be really cool and I only say Netflix is because it's the only streaming service I subscribe to.

You are right, o never liked the boring weight lifting, if o had seen the kb twenty years ago my body would be much better This is for the young people si that they do not put the kb in a nicho and forget about it

Gregory got me so fired up that I had to bang out some snatches with a 24kg to calm down.

Coach Steff sagte letztens in einem Podcast, es trainieren mehr Leute daheim als im Studio. Und die von ihm genannte Zielgruppe deckte sich mit Deiner, ü40. Da ist man aus dem Alter raus, wo man ständig das neueste Shiny Objekt braucht. Und aus Verkäufersicht ist eine Kettlebell ja ähnlich ungünstig wie eine Tupperschüssel, das verdammte Ding geht nicht kaputt und läßt sich kaum nachbessern 😄, höchstens mal ein Facelift alle paar Jahre. Ob sich der Aufwand der Aussteller gelohnt hat, können sie selber kaum nachprüfen. Aber interessant wäre doch mal eine Gegenveranstaltung im nächsten Calisthenicspark 😄, mit Bodyweight, Rope Skipping, Kettlebells und was noch so alles unabhängig daheim praktiziert wird. Sollte sich vor Ort eine Community finden, die sowas anleiert, könnte man mal schauen, wer mehr Spaß bei der Sache hat.

There is a problem with kettlebell you have to study it hard otherwise you can't do it.

Problem with kettlebells is that until mainstream athletes promote it at a large scale then it’s going to stay in a niche. I started in 2020 and never looked back since and will continue on but it needs better promotion in my eyes.

Welcome back, Coach Lebe Stark! 😄

Kettlebell may be very technical and thats part of the fun. But at the end of the day money is made with cloth and supplements and stuff that makes one feel sporty without any effort. And the companies want to sell more hardware than just one ore two kettlebells that are enough for a perfect and hard workout. - I love to listen to your rant because it is your heart that speaks and you are right. Thats why I love this channel and started to work with kettlebells. Keep on doing what you are doing!

The world still needs good Adjustable Kettlebells, the kind of innovation Adjustable Dumbbells have seen, and they WILL become more popular. Focus on the Home Gym community, make them fast changing, make them heavy enough, and there will be growth. Whoever cracks that formula will make a ton of money.

Go off, Coach! 🗣📢

you probably didn't see many barbell or dumbbell specific booths either, did you? They are basic tools and are used by many sports and methodologies. Every gym I go to has kettlebells, even hotel fitness rooms. You can get them even at discount supermarkets or places like Decathlon. Still - nobody knows how to do ballistic excercises, but nobody knows how to perform olympic lifts either.

I've had trouble starting into fitness, I knew I need to do something, but didn't like most of the usual things. I like swimming, but since I am an itenerant person and always on the move, I can do it only sporadically, same goes for the gym, but I find this kind of activity boring. And then I discovered kettlebells. They are not just crazy effective - they are FUN! And most important for me - I can take them with me wherever I go, one is always in my car, I can swing it in any hotel room no matter how small (often you can't even do pushups and jumprope? - forget it, it must be a luxurious suite to accomodate), in the morning, or in the evening. Too technical? - sorry, but how stupid one should be not to be able to master this simple move?!!!
