Movement & Nutrition

I started doing kettlebell training with Ralph 3 months ago and absolutely love it. I didn't know much about kettlebells before starting (beyond the occasional bootcamp circuit) but have found it to be a really interesting discipline... somewhere between weight-training and yoga. I find it both physically and mentally challenging, and love that it's practiced barefoot! It's easily tailored to fit individual practice and fitness levels. When I started, I was one year postpartum but felt no pressure to push myself beyond my own comfort level. Ralph is very thoughtful and encouraging. As a busy mom, I appreciated that he is flexible and doesn't require block bookings!

I have been attending kettle bells with Ralph for some months now and find him to be a very good teacher. Ralph is able to guide me at a pace I'm comfortable with while gently progressing each week. I value his attention to technique and posture and continue to improve. I was daunted by attending a class and have found it to be a positive experience. Thanks Ralph!

Ralph's trained with the best at Strongfirst - he knows his stuff. Having drunk from the fountain of Russian strength knowledge, Ralph has channelled this knowledge to me, step by step, breaking it down and using helpful metaphors ("like youre holding a coin between your armpits!") at times to help me understand the subtle nuances of kettlebell training and deepen my understanding of the philosophy behind the methods taught at Strongfirst. I am ever so glad I decided to start taking his classes. I always feel fresh training this way. He's got a good sense of humour too :)

I've been going to Ralph's kettlebell class for about three years now and would highly recommend giving it a go. Ralph teaches you how to use the kettlebell safely and he will push you to improve and increase your fitness. I have never been stronger and have steadily gone up the weights. Big thumbs up!!
