What is the SFG I StrongFirst Kettlebell Instructor Certification?

SFG—“G” for girya, or kettlebell—is StrongFirst’s flagship certification.

While strength is the focus of our school at large, SFG pursues broader “extreme fitness” and resilience with strength at its foundation. Like every StrongFirst instructor certification—kettlebell, barbell, bodyweight—SFG strongly stands on its own—while all perfectly fit together into a system.

Instructor candidates will test their spirit in grueling workouts, pass strength tests, and demonstrate their teaching ability. Over the 3-day event, they build bonds through a shared challenge and often became friends for life.

Taught by an elite instructor team, including national team coaches and doctors and other high-end professionals you will experience an unequalled strength and conditioning system

What you'll learn:

-> Six foundational kettlebell exercises drilled to perfection:

  • Swing
  • Get-up
  • Clean
  • Press
  • Snatch

-> Regressions and progressions to suit any of your students

-> Powerful programming—based on hard science, easy to implement

-> and more...

Is the SFG I StrongFirst Kettlebell Instructor Certification right for you?

Only if you check at least one of these boxes:

  • A coach who will accept nothing but the best training methods
  • A warfighter seeking a PT method that can be described in Hemingway’s words: ”Keenness of edge…simplicity of action”
  • An athlete ready to take his or her performance to an all-new level
  • A personal development fanatic
  • A hard living type looking for your next challenge
