My philosophy is "train smart, not hard". Most of us are training for something else; martial arts, sports, a healthier, happier life. One hard training session that incapacitates you for four days is rarely useful.

Derek has over 6 years experience in fitness coaching and 4 years in kettlebell training.  Having been around fitness, sport and physical challenge all my life I have found kettlebell lifting and the IKFF approach to fitness to be the most comprehensive in terms of general fitness, health, strength, functionality, mobility, longevity and fun! Now as a proud member of the IKFF team, I can add the CKT certification to my background in conventional fitness/weight training, olympic lifting, gymnastics and functional training. I have a passion for kettlebell lifting both as a training method and a sport, and aim to pass that on to my clients providing them with an effective, varied, motivational and fun training experience designed to give back exactly what they are willing to put into it. I also enjoy the chance to learn from my clients, coaches and professionals in order to maintain high standards of instruction and expertise. In collaboration with other Scottish kettlebell instructors, I am also working to promote Kettlebell Lifting as a sport and hope to compete personally in the near future.

I am the first IKFF CKT in the Scottish Northern Islands. My background before kettlebell training was in competitive bodybuilding in which I represented Scotland internationally. I have years of experience in the field of natural health, sports nutrition and supplementation as well as being a trainer to bodybuilders and everyday people looking to get extraordinary results. Before touching a kettlebell, I already had 16 years of training experience.
I offer one to one kettlebell tuition as well as group tuition and workshops on the Shetland Islands. I will also be co teaching with Rannoch Donald of Kettlebells Scotland at workshops on the Scottish mainland this Summer.
For me, KB training has been a very natural progression from my days as a bodybuilder. I love all strength sports but for me training with a kettlebell is just that bit special. It's explosive, intense, time efficient and the best ever stress buster! I am extremely passionate about what I do and love to share that energy with those who have a desire to change.

Guy is the owner of Glasgow Sport and Spine Clinic where he treats sports injuries and chronic musculoskeletal pain. He has studied in the UK, Ireland, America and most recently in the Czech Republic at the Prague School of manual medicine. His interest in the rehabilitation of incorrect movement and muscle activation patterns which are frequently the cause of injury initially led him to kettlebell training.

“Kettlebell training provides a practical option for most people to train consistently and maintain fitness, core strength and flexibility. They are cost effective space saving, reasonably portable and most importantly for many a workout is not too time consuming. Used correctly kettlebells help train functional fitness and movement patterns, encouraging the whole kinetic chain to engage correctly. ”I believe they are a superb adjunct to amateur and professional athletes non-specific sports training and I have used them with a variety of athletes from boxers to rugby players and martial artists”

I came to Kettlebells after meeting with a newly certified KB trainer (Rannoch Donald) at a Krav Maga seminar.  We both spent the weekend working hard and throwing each other around the room, but at the end of that weekend I couldn't help noticing that the KB trainer wasn't breathing anywhere near as hard as everybody else and there was a poise and balance to his movements that caught my attention.  So I spoke to him about it and went along to learn the basics.  I've had problems with my joints and my back for years, and suddenly here was a way to get fit, to stay fit and to build lasting strength and mobility.  I was hooked. 

I've been training with Kettlebells for three years now, having originally learned the RKC approach.  I completed the CKT level 1 certification in March 2010.  With an interest in holistic health and fitness, I take a practical approach to my training, focussing on fitting consistent, regular workouts around a very busy schedule.  The IKFF system is outstanding for this.

I'm not currently offering training, but am putting together a programme and approach to do so, so please feel free to contact me if you're interested in learning more.
