I have been looking for a kettle bell trainer in Geneva as well, but it looks like the closest is in Lausanne.  If you discover anyone closer by, I would be interested as well!

Well that's at least two other people- someone else PM'd me -so i'll continue looking, I know that there are a couple of places in Geneva that sell kettle balls and if there were a few of us, maybe I can see if this guy from Lausanne might want to come over here twice a week? I'll keep you posted!

Hey I'm a Personal trainer and I happen to work with Kettlebells, so send me an email if you're interested!!!

Brilliant Amandine,Thank you ! I'll be in touch -Away all next week but around after that -Looking forward to it !

I incorporate kettlebells into my outdoor circuit classes in Geneva/Lausanne - along with medicine balls, bosu, boxing and trx. Drop me a message if game enough to try.

You can also try a Crossfit gym if you are looking to workout with the heavy kettlebells - although there seems to be only one in the area near Gland (http://www.crossfitleman.ch)

Thanks for both replies,I'll be in touch to find out more and I'll have a look at the crossfit gym too-Gland might be too far away though!

Thanks for that but I would actually kind of like some personal help first -I've heard you can really hurt your back if you don't have proper form, then i was just going to do it myself!

If you're already in good shape and are used to different ways to exercise then you can have a go at the Kettlebells on your own. But if you're not confident, better to start with someone who can show you and then maybe train by yourself once you've got the technique right.

Kettlebells are great and good fun but like with any exercise, be sure it's done properly to not damage your back for example!!

Hi, I'm doing Kettle-bells training with Michelle, she is wonderful PT, [email protected]

Hello

Kettle bell training is an excellent mode of total body training but beware. You must have a sound fitness level and excellent technique to receive the desired benifits. If done with poor technique you risk the chance of overuse injuries to the elbow and shoulder and possibly to the back.

I have an extensive background as a head strength and conditioning coach in the states for over 20 years. I currently own Coach Zuck Fitness Academy in Annemasse. I have group classes and also offer personal training sessions. I had subsituted dumbbell movements ( db snatch, db standing shoulder press and db hip swings)  for the kettlebell exercises with less chance of injury with my high level athletes in the states.

I believe you can train with the same intensity but under safer conditions with the dbs in crossfit or bootcamp oriented training programs. Please see my site though it is in french or I will be glad to explain my unique brand of fitness

regards,

Andy
