Each Zoom class is 50 minutes long. The working part of the session is 25 minutes with a 15-minute warm up at the beginning and 10 minutes of stretching at the end. Recorded sessions on the Dashboard vary in length. You can choose from MicroWorkouts which are 5 to 25 minutes long or Kettlebell Workouts which are 35 to 75 minutes long.
Yes, you can. I will teach you proper kettlebell technique through the ten introductory training videos and the 15-minute personal training session you receive upon purchasing your first month of classes. During Zoom classes, I continue to assist you with your form by cuing proper technique instructions throughout the entire class and correcting individual form. Purchasing the Unlimited option gives you a half hour personal training session each month which allows us to continuously work on perfecting form in a detailed manner not conducive to a class setting.
Yes, you can; however, I strongly recommend purchasing the Unlimited option so we can work closely together until you are comfortable with the proper form and ready to continue on your own, participating in either the Zoom classes or the Dashboard classes.
The weight of kettlebell used depends on strength, cardiovascular fitness, exercise being performed, and ability to maintain proper form. During kettlebell classes, beginners usually use a variety of weights including 5, 10, 15 and 20 lbs. As strength, fitness and ability improves, additional kettlebells can be added including weights ranging from 25 to 55 lbs.

Nice to Have:
Having two kettlebells the same weight is not essential, but they are nice to have as they very effectively work the body evenly on both sides at the same time, plus they add variety to the workouts.

All you need is a computer, tablet, or phone. Download the Zoom app, and you are good to go!
You only need a space of about 6½ feet x 6 ½ feet. You will want enough space overhead to be able to do a snatch (extend your arm straight over your shoulder plus add the length of a kettlebell). Most people use a yoga mat to stand on. You can also use large puzzle mats, however, if you do, ensure they are wedged in place so they don’t slide. You will get the most out of the Zoom classes by positioning your computer, tablet or phone so I can see all of you, which gives me the ability to correct your form during the class.
