Kettlebells Available for Purchase
In addition to regular non-competition bells we also have a source for standardized hollow competition bells. These bells are made by the same manufacturer as the AKC bells so the production quality is very good but they use a slightly different mold. The handle is just a bit narrower on these as well as being fully painted. These bells are significantly less expensive than the AKC bells when you factor in the shipping cost to Canada. However, if you are a purist, we do have a small number of AKC bells available. We prefer to have kettlebell orders picked up locally if possible, but shipping can be investigated if necessary. In any case, contact us for pricing details..
New Toys
We are now incorporating Persian style club and mace swings to our regular training. They are prefect compliments to our kettlebell lifts as they add an extra pulling component, a wider shoulder range of motion and a greater anterior chain emphasis while still within a strength-endurance context. The clubs and maces are available for use during any session, depending on space, but please ask for guidance the first time you try them for safety reasons.
