Happy Kettlebelling

I’d been seeing kettlebells all over my feed for a while and always wanted to try them. I don’t love going to the gym but also don’t have the budget or space for a full home gym setup. This trainer came across my Instagram feed and I decided to give it a go since it was so affordable and seemed like you get way more than you pay for. After using the app for a month I can definitely say that’s the case. The instructor is incredibly knowledgeable and makes the workouts approachable, even if you’re completely new to kettlebells. You can customize them to what works for you. There are alternative movements for most exercises and every exercise has a video you can click into for a full explanation of how to do it correctly. I really didn’t think I’d come this far with kettlebells in just a month and I think that speaks to how well done this app is. I’ll definitely be a longtime user.

I’ve been subscribed to Happy Kettlebelling Club aka HKC since the beginning when it was just workout written out in digital format, with YouTube tutorials hyperlinked in, and discord to communicate with the coach and community. Those were the good ol’ days and while I loved the simplicity, the new app offers you so much more for your money, all in one place. When I first picked up a kettlebell, I was just googling workouts and trying to put together my own plan. While it worked for a little bit, I got tired of doing the same workout everyday, and to be honest, I really had no idea how to progress or isolate different areas of the body. Once I started using HKC, every week was something new, every workout something different to focus on. Not only that but you LEARN. I’m no capable of just picking up my kettlebell and throwing a flow together based off of moves I’ve learned over the years. One of my favorite features on the app is integrated videos of how to do the workouts as well as a description and list of the exercises, available at a glance or touch of a button while you’re mid-workout. The app also keeps track of what workout you’ve completed, when you did it, how long it took you, and you can add the weight of kettlebell you’re using so that you can track your progression. Jeremy, the HKC coach, is phenomenal and super nice. He put so much time and effort into creating an app that could benefit everyone. I know this because he literally asked the entire community what they wanted to see in the app. 😂 I’ve also asked him plenty of questions related to the workouts, and modifications and he’s always been super helpful and kind. If you want a plan when picking up your kettlebell, want to start seeing progression, or just want more variety, definitely give the app a shot. It’s worth it.
