After extensive study of the techniques gathered from around the world by TACFIT® creator Scott Sonnon, we have distilled the fundamentals of the TACFIT® system into Kettlebell 101. This program is a well-grounded, multifaceted workout regimen and introduction to kettlebell training that can be done at home.
This program:
- Comes from years of experience and knowledge. Our trainers have learned from the best – Scott Sonnon – the creator of “The World’s Smartest Workout.”
- Kettlebell 101 allows you to advance your training over time. We won’t ask you to overexert yourself when you’re not ready, and our exercises won’t be too simple for you in a few months if you increase the intensity.
- Our program gives you a solid foundation of technique on which to build even more sophisticated movements, allowing you to train smarter, not harder.

This program is what I was looking for. It has helped crystallize my understanding and usage of kettlebells. Most importantly it has made kettlebells way more fun. All ten exercises are great and even if you are already familiar with these moves, chances are you will learn something as Eric Esik Melland breaks everything down in easy to follow instructions. Even if you don’t follow the specific day by day program (I’m not yet) the instructional videos themselves are worth it. I don’t see myself outgrowing this any time soon. Please be aware that the videography / production is pretty DIY and YouTube like. One stationary camera of the trainer in his garage…not lit as well as a professional lighting engineer might have done. So if you’re expecting a slick production like the days of yore, this is not that. It’s the bare bones information coming to you directly from a very skilled and knowledgeable trainer. In a pre COVID world this lack of production values might have mattered, but who cares, right? It’s more than adequate and I actually like this format quite a bit.

Having come from overly exerting myself with kettlebell swings with too heavy a kettlebell for me i was hoping to find coaching cues and a corresponding compensation movement – for the kettlebell swing. It did not cross my mind a tacfit kettlebell 101 might actually not discuss the kettlebell swing at all. I was rather disappointed to find it is missing entirely, as i wanted to hone the skill of just one exercise, rather than 10 new ones. Learning 10 skills will presumably take more time and neurological capacity. So, that‘s a bummer. And i think the title kettlebell 101 might be misleading to other people, since thekettlebell swing has been promoted so widely over the internet and might be connected to the kettlebell tool in many minds.
Having said that, i‘m a tacfit fan, started out with the primal stress programme ten years ago. The pacing yourself principle is always mentioned and i find it to be (painfully) true. I feel that you guys at tacfit could do more PR – explaining the difference between just going to the gym for pump and kicks vs. gradually building a skill with repetition and having a long build up toward higher intensity. If i hadn‘t had the luck of having real life tacfit instruction in Hamburg with Raimar – the effects of those tacfit principles would have been far less tangible. And still, over the years, i fell prey to „training for muscle“ again and again just from media consumption. Bummer, too.
For anyone who has had real life contact with tacfit this programm provides the cues, the plan and the usual built-in ingenuity. Good stuff.
