AK Kettlebell - Anchorage, Alaska

Mike Fox

What an awesome gym and experience! To begin, I have a Masters Degree in sports condition and stay up on current strength and conditioning research and techniques, and I’m a licensed cycling coach. I do lots of cycling and some strength training.

I signed up for the 5 week Winterfit class to learn better techniques when using kettlebells. I’ve never really used them before, and I was intimated just thinking about being in a class…using kettlebells in front of other people! The horror!!

After my first class, I realized all my fear and intimidation was completely unfounded. Owner and Coach Jody is so amazing! I felt like I was having individually lesson with him despite there being four other classmates. Jody coached all movements in a very relatable way and never judged anyone regardless of skill or ability. He was respectful of any physical limitations and adjusted movements accordingly. He knows and follows well established and safe exercise protocols and knows how to use an “easy” routine to get you a very solid workout. He made the most challenging workout very fun! I looked forward to every single class and it’d was the highlight of my day.

Before this classes, I knew very little about kettlebells and had never learned how to properly use them. After the class, I understand the mechanics of using kettlebells in a safe manner to avoid injury. I know how to string together several different moves into a circuit or a complex and I understand how to use them to the benefit of my bicycling activities.

If you are thinking about learning kettlebells to improve your abilities in a specific sport, to gain general fitness or just to do something new and fun, this is THE place to go for it.

I love going here. Their classes are the most effective workouts. Not only do they focus on strength and cardio but also mobility. Everyone is extremely nice, welcoming and encouraging.

My husband and I worked one on one with the owner, Jody, and we attended some of AK Kettlebell’s group classes. Both experiences were top notch. They do an incredible job of safely and responsibly teaching you the fundamentals while also pushing you to achieve things you had no idea you were capable of. If you’re looking for an unpretentious, fun and challenging way to push yourself in fitness, check this place out!
