What Makes This Certification Different?
These courses are for anyone who wants to move better themselves or teach others.
- The goal of this certification is to teach solid fundamentals of safe and effective kettlebell lifting and put you on the path of building strength and fluid movement techniques with kettlebells.
- While most kettlebell certifications focus on front and back planes of motion, we expand past the traditional movements into rotational movements and lateral planes of motion for true full body strength building.
- What makes a kettlebell so powerful the ability to transition from different planes and angles quickly making you a resilient more competent mover in more than just front and back motion. We go into more rotational work as well as the break down of flow and how it pertains to athletic endeavors. It is also a ton of fun!

"loved the content and how it was facilitated by Marcus, he's amazing. Thanks for going thru each movement step by step and slowing down the mechanics. learned a ton! excited to start flowing and programming my own personal training :)"

Virtual Certification Attendee
"I really enjoyed and highly recommend the course for all experience levels. Not only is it a great coaching aid to learn or review ... movements, but it sets the stage to transition from traditional movements to flow by introducing the Rotational Series. An ah-ha moment for me was during the Principals of Programming section when it became clear that the goal was not to think, which often happens when attempting to follow a scripted flow... I look forward to taking additional Living.Fit educational programs. Thank you!"
