Bell Mechanics Certification Program

Master The Essentials, Refine Your Technique, And Lead With Confidence

The Bell Mechanics Certification Program is a hybrid learning experience combining a 10-week online course with an in-person certification weekend.

Whether you’re a coach looking to refine your approach or a kettlebell enthusiast ready to dive deeper into the science behind the movement, this program equips you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel.

This isn’t just a course; it’s a complete pathway to certification, blending the theory and practice of kettlebell training into a seamless journey.

By the end of the program, you’ll not only improve your own kettlebell skills but also gain the tools to confidently coach others—earning your place as a Certified Bell Mechanics Trainer.

Most kettlebell courses will give you a solid foundation for the basics, but fall short when teaching you how to implement them in real life.

The Bell Mechanics Certification Program goes beyond theory to equip you with practical tools for real-world success.

It’s a unique hybrid learning experience, featuring an online course and an in-person certification weekend.

10-Week Online Course Starts January 13:

  • 150+ Learning Modules: Bite-sized lessons covering the science and application of kettlebell training.

  • 10 Weekly LIVE Lectures: Join Sam and your cohort to dive deeper into the concepts. All sessions are recorded for flexible access.

I surveyed the previous cohorts about their experience and here's what they have to say:

  • Do you feel you have a deeper understanding of human movement?

    “Absolutely!! The biggest thing I took away from this course was that all the “issues” I have experienced in the past 2-3 years as an athlete, from injuries or pain with running, areas of weakness with KBs, and certain KB exercises where my form can most improve (aka my salsa hips!) are all interconnected! And even better yet is I have the knowledge now to work on specific things to improve and become a better athlete in all those areas. This course has truly been so eye opening for me as an athlete and I couldn’t be happier with the knowledge I have gained!”

  • Do you feel comfortable coaching these skills to someone else?

    “Yes! We learned the skill during the video tutorials, practiced with our video submissions, and reinforced during the live calls - such that I feel confident being in the teaching position!”

  • Do you feel you have a deeper understanding of human movement?

    “100%! Not just KB movement exclusively but overall, and my interest is sparked into continuing to dig deeper into this! One move at a time like you showed s so that concepts are easily digestible!”

  • Do you feel more confident executing the KB skills you learned?

    “Yes, I understand many of the kettlebell exercises much better and I have never had such good explanations and instruction on technique and set up before. I still have a lot to learn though and I’m just looking forward to keep practicing.”

  • Do you feel comfortable coaching these skills to someone else?

    “Yes. Not only did my KB technique greatly improve, but you gave great instruction on how to coach someone else and trouble shoot it with them. Also, I found your instruction great for clients that may not be doing kettlebells too. This course was awesome!!”

  • What made you sign up for BMC?

    “I trust you (Sam) you would teach me all of your knowledge about kettlebells and how I can better serve my clients! And you did, thank you!”

  • Do you feel more confident executing the KB skills you learned?

    “So much more confident! I’m able to review my execution of the skills we covered, and others as well, and see clearly where I can improve. And then for the areas where I can improve, I actually know exactly what I should be doing and I know the drills and focus areas I should practice to help get me there!”
