This is an in-person course held at The Institute for Continuing Education in Fairfield.

The BodyBellMethod® is a common-sense approach to strength and fitness with longevity and progression in mind developed by Phil Ross, MS, RKC Master Kettlebell Trainer, Martial Arts Master, ACE CPT and Wellness and Exercise Professor. As a master trainer and educator in multiple disciplines, the methodology employed has been successfully applied to athletes of all levels, law enforcement and military personnel, and fitness enthusiasts of all ages and abilities.

The BodyBellMethod® is comprised of movements derived from the Hardstyle Kettlebell protocol, long-standing Calisthenics and the lost art of Dynamic Tension. This minimalist approach to fitness uses only kettlebells, the body’s own resistance, a jump rope, dowel, pull-up bar, dip station and an ab wheel. The success of the method is  based on the knowledge of the trainer and application of sound, succinct movement and the application of periodization while addressing the Five Areas of Fitness: Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Cardiovascular Endurance, Body Composition and Flexibility/Mobility. The various movements and training protocols employed are based on upper and lower body push and pull, carries, single leg, harnessing explosive power and rotational movement.

This is a minimalist’s approach to strength and fitness using very few tools but it yields great results. Our fitness tools are our own bodyweight, kettlebells, pull-up bars, dip stations, ab wheel, a jump rope and a dowel. We will occasionally use a towel or the Neuro-Grip push-up tool. The equipment is limited but the results are unmatched.

Each Certification will be conducted in 8 hours. There will be an exit test to pass and workout/class programming.

The BodyBell Method is the most comprehensive Kettlebell, Calisthenics and Dynamic Tension Certification available that is based on the Minimalist Methodology of strength, health and fitness.
