IKFF Level 1 Certified Kettlebell Teacher

I am not the strongest or fittest kettlebell teacher in the world.  I do however understand what it is like to struggle with the process of juggling the demands of everyday life with the search for greater health, well-being and fitness.  I grew up as a very overweight kid and only discovered the value of exercise and fitness when I was 19 via my introduction to the Chinese Martial Arts. Since then I have been seeking ways to improve my quality of life through the study of various physical and mental disciplines all geared towards unleashing our full potential.  The journey has had many ups and downs but I’ve made consistent progress through my studies in psychology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Tai-Chi, Kung Fu, the Russian Martial Art of Systema, Yoga and the uniquely demanding “art” of kettlebell lifting.  My focus is first and foremost on understanding exactly where my client is at mentally and physically, and then designing a program that will surprise the individual and take them beyond where they thought it was impossible to go.  My teaching philosophy is holistic and will always include not only cosmetic changes but changes in the way we perceive ourselves and our relationship to the world.  If you think you are just an ordinary human being struggling to live your life, please get in touch with me and I will do all that I can to show you possibilities inside you that you never knew existed.

KETTLEBELLS ARE ALIVE AND THRIVING IN SOUTH AFRICA!

My name is Trent Murgatroyd, I teach kettlebells and boxing at the TopBox Gym in Fourways, Johannesburg, South Africa. I discovered Russian Kettlebells in 2004, and since then, I have never looked back! In May 2008, I completed my RKC in Denmark, and then in October 2008, the CKT.

My training commenced in 1985 - martial arts: Aikido, Kyokushinkai Karate, JKA and Kickboxing. Since 2004, Kettlebell lifting has added a fresh and exciting dimension to my training. It is both challenging and functional; increasing overall strength, power, core stability, muscle endurance and cardiovascular fitness.

I currently train people of mixed abilities – from those individuals who wish to get into great shape and/or improve their overall fitness and strength - to athletes from various sporting codes. I've had the honor of working with some world-ranked competitors in Boxing, Judo, Enduro and Cycling/Mountain Biking. My participation in amateur boxing has lead to strength and conditioning of several pro-boxers.

My goal as a Kettlebell trainer is to make each session challenging, fulfilling, functional, safe and fun! Providing systematic progression and structured sessions to enable folk to achieve their personal goals is critical for me. I welcome people of all ages and abilities. The oldest person that I’ve had the privilege of training (thus far) – has been a 90-year-old lady! Kettlebells can improve your condition – no matter what age you are - or your current level of fitness: Kettlebells can and will make you better!

It is my dream to see kettlebell lifting as an Olympic sport, to attend the Olympic Games - either as a participant or as a coach. I would also like attain ‘Master of Sports’ in kettlebell lifting. I would like to expand kettlebells into the whole of Southern Africa as a fun and results-orientated method of training.
