CKT – Certified Kettlebell Trainer Certification

First, we have the CKT (Certified Kettlebell Trainer) certification. It's no secret that kettlebells have proven themselves to be one of the most effective training tools out there for developing every attribute on the physical/athletic continuum – strength, endurance, core strength, agility, flexibility and the list goes on. However, there really hasn't been a comprehensive system that brings together the all the benefits kettlebells have to offer. Until now! - that is where the CKT certification comes in!
