Harlem Kettlebell Club

One room, all levels, getting after it.

The sn**ch is arguably the hardest movement to execute (and teach) when it comes to kettlebell exercises. It takes time, patience, and a lot of quality reps to master. Today we looked at a few techniques and explored some positions to see where everyone struggled or had success. Overall a solid session and looking forward to adding more into our programming.

We love a good teamwork drill 👌🏾

Whoever said fitness can’t be fun just doesn’t know how to have fun. We take our work very seriously but also know people need to feel comfortable before anything else.

Games promote community, connection, and conversation. When people are enjoying themselves and feeling seen, the work becomes more manageable.

We work in the fitness industry but we are in the business of people. Never forget that!

Often times you’ll see people training the kettlebell swing with far too many reps for their current capacity.

If you haven’t mastered one rep, there’s no reason to be attempting 15 consecutively.

What’s the fix?

Use the dead stop swing. It allows you to treat every rep as its own set.

The goal is to make each rep look almost identical to the next while refining your technique, timing, and power output.

Instead of rushing through fatigue, you’re giving yourself the opportunity to reset, stay organized, and build better movement quality with every rep.

Next time you work on swings, try the dead stop method and pay attention to how much cleaner your form feels by the end of the session.

Or come to Harlem Kettlebell Club and we’ll get you up to speed pretty quickly.
