Kettlebell Swing Masterclass: Every Variation, Explained

The kettlebell swing looks like one exercise. It's closer to a dozen, and choosing the wrong one for your goal is why a lot of people swing for months without getting what they came for.

This course covers the swing in full: how to perform each variation, and more importantly, when and why you'd pick one over another.

Variations covered

• Conventional hip hinge swing

• Squat swing

• Hardstyle swing

• Pendulum swing

• American swing

• Suitcase swing

• Double-arm swing

• Single-arm swing

• Alternating swing

• And more

You'll also get

• 7 kettlebell swing workouts, each built for a different goal

• Programming instruction so you can build your own sessions using EMOM, intervals, AMRAP, and for-time formats

• Two hours of video, structured the same way throughout: why and how, slow-motion demonstration, practical session, then a test

Who it's for

Complete beginners start at zero here and finish swinging safely and effectively. If you already swing, the variation-by-variation breakdown is where the value is — most people have learned one swing and assume it's the swing.

CrossFit athletes: the American swing section addresses the specific faults that cost time in workouts. Trainers: the progressions are laid out so you can move clients from squat swing to hip hinge to pendulum without guessing.

Feedback

"I will be honest with you and explain my background. I have been a trainer (both in sport and media) for most of my life. The birth of the internet and youtube lead to less and less, face-to-face training/coaching, focusing more on video demos and training. I mention this just to help you understand where I came from, which is a background of producing corporate short, punchy to the point training content.

The course content was absolutely excellent. The gradual build from a squat swing, progressing to the hip and pendulum, and reasons why you would use each one, together with their own variations, were spot on. Your knowledge, wisdom, and experience really shine through, anyone taking this course would gain significant benefits from this coaching and knowledge sharing.

I also enjoyed the 4 stage format of teaching/learning format. The explanation of why and how to perform each variation, the slowmo demo's, then the PA session, and finally the tests."
