Kettlebell Styles💡Some kettlebell coaches will tell you that their way is the *only* way. If you’re not doing hardstyle, you’re weak. If you’re not doing kettlebell sport, you’re inefficient. If you’re doing flow, you’re just showing off.⁣
⁣
I don’t agree with any of that. ⁣
⁣
Kettlebells are one of the most versatile tools in fitness, yet the community is full of gatekeeping. ⁣👎
⁣
Hardstyle, kettlebell sport, juggling, flow, using them for martial arts, each camp thinks their method is superior, and instead of encouraging people to explore, they mock other styles. Worse, they shame beginners for using a Lidl plastic kettlebells and not starting with the ‘right’ equipment. ⁣
⁣
⁣
Yes, a well-made pro-grade kettlebell is ideal if you can get one. ⁣
⁣
🤔But if someone picks up a plastic or neoprone handle kettlebell from their local shop to start moving, why would we discourage that? ⁣
⁣
Movement is movement, and kettlebells should be about building strength, skill, and confidence, not ego and exclusivity. ⁣
⁣
This kind of elitism does nothing but confuse and discourage beginners. ⁣
⁣
It makes people feel like they’re doing something *wrong* when they’re just trying to start. ⁣
⁣
I’ve seen too many people walk away from kettlebell training, not because they didn’t enjoy it, but because they felt like they didn’t belong. ⁣
⁣
Instead, I teach my clients to explore and embrace all styles of kettlebell training. ⁣
⁣
Whether it’s hardstyle for power, sport for endurance, flow for creativity, juggling for coordination, or using kettlebells for sport or martial arts, it all has value. ⁣
⁣
The *best* style is the one that keeps you engaged, progressing, and injury-free. ⁣
⁣
And if you’re just getting started? Start with whatever kettlebell you have access to. The tool matters, but your consistency matters more. ⁣
⁣
What’s your go-to kettlebell style? Or do you mix it up? Drop a comment, I’d love to hear how you train.

“‘I’ll start in January’ is the reason most people never start.⁣
⁣
Every December, people say they’ll ‘start in January’ but that’s just code for ‘wait until it feels urgent.’ 🫢⁣
⁣
You could literally start now, build momentum before Christmas, and actually enjoy the holidays instead of dragging yourself into January feeling, stressed, sluggish and annoyed you didn’t just begin sooner.⁣
⁣
If you’re a coach, you know this is the time clients get the best results. Don’t be afraid to remind them. 📣

Every coach knows that moment when a client asks, ’Is this food good or bad?’⁣
⁣
I’ve heard that question more times than I can count and it breaks my heart a little. 💔⁣
⁣
When a client asks this, it’s never really about the food, what they really wanted is reassurance.⁣
⁣
Because I’ve heard it for over 20 years… and I get where it comes from. Most people have spent years being told what food to cut out, what to fear, what’s “dirty” or “clean.”⁣
⁣
👎And I’ve seen how that thinking wrecks people’s relationship with food way more than the food itself ever could.⁣
⁣
Early in my personal training career, I thought the fix was just better education , macro breakdowns, food diaries, lists of “healthier swaps.”⁣
⁣
But that only scratched the surface.⁣
⁣
What actually changed things was shifting the conversation completely. Instead of saying this is good or that’s bad, I started asking….⁣
⁣
“What does this food do for you?”⁣
“How does it make you feel?”⁣
“Could we make this meal more balanced, not more ‘perfect’?”⁣
⁣
Once clients stopped judging every bite and started understanding why they eat, everything changed.⁣
⁣
Here’s what helped most:⁣
✅ Talking about how every food group plays a role (no villains, no halos).⁣
⁣
✅ Teaching portion awareness without obsession.⁣
⁣
✅ Naming how marketing shapes guilt “guilt-free”, “clean”, “detox”… all that bullsh*t.⁣
⁣
✅ Helping them notice how they talk to themselves around food.⁣
⁣
Because when clients start to unlearn all the noise from diets and Instagram nutrition “experts”,they finally find peace with food. And honestly? That’s when real results stick.⁣
⁣
What’s the one food myth or belief you find yourself debunking on repeat with clients? 👇

A message from Sally

"My Magnificent Mother Barbara Withers left this earth last night (Oct 23rd).
Her love of real food and all things natural inspired me greatly.

⁣
If you really want to help your clients over Halloween, use the content ideas in my reel. ⁣
⁣
🎃Your clients don’t need another “spooky workout” or “low-calorie Halloween treat” to make. They need support with food guilt, staying consistent with exercise, and being present with their loved ones instead of obsessing over how many calories they’ve used up with Halloween treats.⁣

So instead, create content that they will save and revisit again.⁣
⁣
𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 for:⁣
⁣
☑️ Encouraging your audience to come back to your fitness and nutrition content, leading them to explore more of your offerings.⁣
⁣
☑️Increasing the likelihood that they’ll remember you and see you as a helpful resource in their fitness journey.⁣
⁣
☑️ Providing real value and resources that genuinely help them, rather than just sharing quick workout tips or recipe ideas.⁣
⁣
With all the temptations and distractions that come with Halloween, your clients are looking for guidance on how to stay on track, enjoy the hols, and avoid guilt over indulging.

Post content that truly resonates with what they’re experiencing right now, and they’ll save it for later.

⁣
In my two decades in the fitness industry, I’ve looked up to and admired so many incredible fitness professionals in the industry, thinking they had something I was missing. ⁣
⁣
What I didn’t realize at the time, though, is that my clients were looking at me the same way. 🙈⁣
⁣
They saw me as someone they admired, trusted, and respected. And when I truly understood that, it shifted everything for me in terms of my confidence in showing up as a leader.
⁣
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼—your ideal clients value you. They see you as a trusted leader who can help them achieve their goals. ⁣
⁣
When you tap into that mindset, it changes the way you show up and serve. It gives you the confidence to show up with authority, which in turn attracts the right clients and helps grow your business.⁣
⁣
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆, because when you believe in your own value, it empowers you to take bold, decisive actions that can take your business to the next level. 🔥⁣
⁣
⁣
𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿: you’re already a hero to your clients, and when you embrace that, it’ll change how you show up and grow your business.⁣
⁣
Save this post for the days when you find yourself doubting your worth or hero-worshipping other fitpros. 💪
