Empowering Strength, Mobility & Real-Life Performance with Kettlebells

By Greg Brookes
Certified Personal Trainer | 20+ Years Coaching | Featured in Men’s Health, Women’s Fitness, and More

I’ve helped over 450,000 people around the world move better, feel stronger, and train smarter using kettlebells. Whether you’re a busy professional, active parent, or aspiring coach, this site is built to guide you.

What Makes My Approach Different?

Forget body-part splits and long, exhausting workouts. My method is:

  • Movement-focused: rooted in natural human movement patterns, not isolated muscles
  • Time-efficient: full-body workouts under 20 minutes, often 10
  • Progressive: as you grow, your kettlebell program evolves
  • Accessible: most of my kettlebell training and tutorials are free

This isn’t just about chasing six-pack abs, it’s about building a body that looks great, moves well, and performs in real life. It’s about building real strength, mobility, and energy that you feel every day.

The Origins of KettlebellsWorkouts.com

In 2008, I was running my own personal training company in London. I’d built a team of 15+ trainers, working with everyone from athletes and executives to busy mums and dads.

We needed a tool that worked in small spaces, delivered big results, and fit tight schedules. Kettlebells were the answer.

From Personal Trainer to Kettlebell Coach

We soon launched 30-minute group classes using kettlebells to train strength, cardio, and mobility, all at once. These sessions became the foundation for what I teach today.

Clients loved how effective and repeatable the sessions were. So I took those results online.

Teaching Kettlebell Trainers and Coaches

After 1,000+ hours teaching kettlebell classes, I saw kettlebell training being misused, treated like dumbbells, not the dynamic tools they are.

So I began training personal trainers, leading workshops, and helping raise industry standards in kettlebell instruction and functional strength.

Today, I still mentor coaches who want to deliver smarter, safer, and more effective kettlebell training.

Sharing the Method Worldwide

One-on-one training was powerful, but limited. To reach more people, I launched this site and started recording what worked: the short, smart kettlebell sessions that got people strong, mobile, and energised in less time.

Whether you’re a coach or total beginner, you’ll find step-by-step guidance, kettlebell workouts, and beginner kettlebell programs here.

Why My Kettlebell Workouts Work

  • Full-body activation: over 600 muscles working per rep with each kettlebell exercise
  • Short sessions: reduce stress on your joints and hormones
  • Built-in progression: no plateaus, no guesswork
  • Train for better movement, not just better looks.

These workouts work because they mirror real life. You’ll move better, feel stronger, and reduce the risk of injury.

My Credentials & Coaching Philosophy

I’ve been training with weights since I was 14 and took my first fitness qualification back in 1992. Since then, I’ve qualified as a Certified Personal Trainer and Sports Massage Therapist, and hold a degree in Philosophy.

What sets me apart isn’t just qualifications, it’s over two decades of real-world coaching experience. I’ve worked with people from all walks of life through personal training, group fitness sessions, and now globally through online kettlebell training.

My philosophy is simple: train smart, move well, and stay consistent. That means building foundational strength, mobility, and resilience that translates to real life, not just gym metrics.

Whether you’re in your 50s and returning to fitness, a complete beginner looking for structure, or a personal trainer refining your approach, this platform gives you the guidance and progression you need to succeed.

What People Say

Hear how my kettlebell workouts are changing lives.

I just downloaded your ten best kettlebells routines and in the five years that I’ve been looking for different routines yours are by far the BEST I’ve come across.

Mark Colton

I’d just like to express my gratitude for the fact that your newsletter is not like most of the other fitness professionals I used to subscribe to. In my opinion, those guys usually sell quick fixes and send out spam with the goal of making a quick buck of selling supplements or hide their information behind some click tracking. Yours is consistently full of actual, useful advice right there in the mail.​

I’ve subscribed to your workouts as I met somebody whilst walking the dog this morning who has lost 2 .5 stone (35lbs) doing your workouts 3x per week since January.​

Lisa Currie

I very much appreciate your generosity with your expertise and time, as the content is more valuable than many paid online programs and publications (which, of course, means your paid programs are stuffed with value per dollar!)

Your Workouts are awesome and the different routines keep me motivated…still getting used to only working out 10 or 12 minutes, but my heart rate monitor shows me that its enough….and it sure feels like more than enough when I am done.

I just want to tell you that I think you are the greatest! You send us free stuff that is so informative and detailed and up to date. I have been unsubscribing to so many people I follow because they just really want to sell me products – you are NEVER like that – you seem to just want to share your knowledge with us.

Plain and simple…My body has changed, and the workouts are so efficient. I workout half the time I used to.
