Frequently Asked Questions

How many people are in a class?

Do I have to purchase my own kettlebell?

No, all of the kettlebells are supplied for you to use. There are over 50 kettlebells to choose from, which range in size from 5 lbs to 88 lbs.

I’m not very fit and I have never exercised or I haven’t exercised for a very long time. Given my current level of fitness, will I be able to do the class?

All levels of fitness are welcome, including individuals who have never exercised. By starting off with a light weight and ensuring the exercises are performed with the correct form, individuals begin to notice an improvement in their muscle tone and strength after the very first week.

How do I go about joining a class?

Prior to joining a class, each individual has the benefit of attending an introductory training session. During the session, proper kettlebell form is reviewed as well as the proper execution of a number of kettlebell exercises. You will also perform a circuit so you will know exactly what to expect in a class setting. This provides you with an opportunity to try various weights and practice the exercises without worrying about trying to keep up with a class. The cost of the introductory training session is $20; however, if classes are purchased at the end of the session, the $20 is applied to the total cost of the classes.

When are the personal training sessions held?

Personal training sessions are booked individually at a time that is convenient for you.

How much do the classes cost?

Classes are sold in blocks ranging from 4 classes to 144 classes. The cost per class ranges from $9 - $15/class depending upon the number of classes purchased, which can either be paid in full via cash or cheque or divided into 2, 4 or monthly payments via post-dated cheques.

If I choose to purchase one year worth of classes and I go away on holidays, do I lose the classes I missed while I was away?

No, you do not lose the classes. You may use any classes you missed upon your return.

Do I have to attend 3 classes each week?

No you do not. You may choose to attend one or two classes per week if you wish.

How much does it cost to take the yoga class on Saturday morning?

The yoga class is free for all Kettlebell Club members who have completed their kettlebell classes for the week.

Are kettlebells a safe exercise? I’m afraid of hurting myself.?

As with any exercise, there is a risk of injury; however, at The Kettlebell Club, there is a strong emphasis on correct form and proper exercise execution. When an exercise is performed correctly with an appropriate weight, the muscles are worked correctly, and thus, they become stronger. If correct form is not emphasized and/or an individual is using a weight that is too heavy and does not allow them to maintain correct form, then the risk of injury greatly increases.
