Strength training doesn’t always have to be about maxes, aesthetics, or chasing exhaustion.

As we get older, the basics become less boring and more powerful. Done well and repeated often, they become the foundation for feeling strong, resilient and durable.

And, the biggest wins are simple:

Your legs feel better.
Your body feels more capable.
Your joints feel supported.
Your day moves easier.

Kettlebell swings and squats check a lot of boxes fast: mobility, strength, endurance, balance, and coordination.

The real game-changer, though, is consistency.

A few focused training sessions each week can change how your body feels in everyday life.

Not overnight.
But absolutely over time.

We’re doing the work weekly online + in-person.
Our Small Group Training Memberships and 1:1 Coaching options meet your consistency level and hold you to it.

Kettlebells can be incredibly effective…
(We’ve been hooked nearly 20 years for a reason!)

But the research is not centered around occasional, random workouts.

It is centered around structured skills development, repeated practice, progressive loading, and training that fits the individual.

The studies cited used a 10-12 WEEK training protocol with at least THREE planned training sessions per week.

This is how we build programs using kettlebells at EDK. Membership tiers and 1:1 programs are designed for a minimum 3 month commitment to the process. 💪🏽

And, our Small Group Training and 1:1 Coaching give you the tools, the plan, and the feedback to build strength you can actually use.

Because you want to be strong every day, not just occasionally.

Chasing the past could be keeping you stuck…

The “workouts” that made sense before may not be what makes sense for you right now.

Before injuries, surgeries, pain, recovery demands, life changes, stress, or years of doing what you thought you were “supposed” to do…

Your body deserves training that respects what it has been through and the season you are in now. 🙌🏽

That kind of training requires more than random gym workouts, a big group class, or an app that assumes everyone needs the same thing.

It requires thoughtful program adaption and coaching. It requires a system to build strength and resilience for the present and future you.

This is where EDK Training shines.

✨ In Small Group Training sessions, you are part of a focused, coached environment where your reps are seen, your questions matter, and your progress has direction.

✨ In 1:1 Coaching sessions, the plan is built around your body, your goals, your schedule, your experience, your history, and the realities of your life.

EDK coaches the details: technique, progression, load, volume, recovery, confidence, and consistency. Because strength that lasts is not defined by what you used to do.

It is defined by doing the right work, right where you are now. 💪🏽

For many years, our group classes served a purpose and provided hundreds with connection and community. 🫶🏽

That has not changed for EDK. But one of the biggest reasons we moved away from a traditional group class format is accountability.

We know that classes make it easy to train loosely…

Drop in when it works.
Cancel when life gets busy.
Show up late or no-show.
Disappear for a few weeks.
Quit before the progress has even had time to start.

And we understand why this happens.
Life is full, schedules shift, and training is often the first thing people move when things get busy.

But that is exactly why structure matters. 🙌🏽

We’ve switched from casual classes to go all-in on your progress with coaching and a membership model that fits your commitment level.

When someone becomes a committed EDK member, there is more ownership. There is a consistent training rhythm. There is a reserved spot. There is coaching, feedback, progression, and a higher level of accountability to the process. There is a greater value placed on respecting your time and ours.

✨Committed members deserve a committed coaching environment.✨

Because strength shows up when you stay long enough for the work to compound. That takes dedicated time and planning, not occasional participation.

That is why EDK is no longer built around casual attendance. It is built around our members who want to train under an intentional model that works.

Ready to stop chasing classes and start training with committed coaching? 💪🏽 Join us.

Many people assume online coaching is automatically a step down from in-person training.

Understandable. Especially if your only experience with online fitness has been generic workouts, vague demos, or trying to figure out everything solo. It makes sense that you’d question whether “real” coaching can happen through a screen.

But online coaching is not a backup option at EDK.

Right now, more of our students train with us online than in person. And they are not getting a watered-down version of coaching.

They are getting the same keen eye and attention to detail, technical feedback, and progression-based strength training that defines the in-person experience — while they’re training from home, the office, vacation spots, everywhere…

And, kettlebells put a gym in the palm of your hand anywhere you are.

With online coaching, your movement is assessed, how you’re feeling is discussed, and your training is based
on your current ability, your fitness and injury history, your goals.

That’s no different than what we do in person.

When you invest in the necessary tools for training online and have a coach watching, guiding and making adjustments along the way, your setup is simpler, your training becomes easier to maintain, and your progress accelerates.

EDK meets you wherever you are and helps you build strength from there. 💪🏽

Before you sign up for strength coaching or Small Group Training at EDK, we talk first. Real convo in real-time.

Not because it’s meant to be intimidating.
Not because you need to “prove” anything.
And not because you already need to be strong, experienced, or perfectly ready…

It’s because coaching requires context.

A consult call helps us understand your goals, training history, schedule, injuries or limitations, and what kind of coaching support will actually help you stay consistent.

It also gives you a chance to ask questions, understand the coaching process, and decide if EDK feels like the right fit.

That matters. 🙌🏽

Because this is not a typical class model where you just show up randomly, follow along, and hope the workout applies to you.

Small Group Training is still coaching. Fewer people. More attention. Better progressions. A stronger understanding of the person behind the training.

A consult call creates value and investment for both of us. You get clarity. EDK gets context.

And together, we start building a plan to establish a baseline instead of guessing.

✨Private coaching is waitlist-based, and Small Group Training options are available.✨

If you’re ready for coaching, not just classes or a DIY approach, apply and schedule your consult call.

EDK’s shift away from “classes” to Small Group Training comes from nearly two decades of analyzing our student’s needs and the patterns that shape how we coach and offer training sessions.

We know that our students want more than what a general class delivers. And, we know that when a more valuable, enriching experience is involved, the commitment and consistency follows.

Our Small Group Training model bridges the gap between a group vibe and an 1:1 coaching experience — team effort, positive reinforcement and supportive energy + progressive programming, high-touch coaching and attentive communication for learning and growth.

For many years EDK has guided students through education and understanding of how to build strength with applicable practice sessions and training plans that match the individual — not a crowd. We’re simply aligning that methodology with an improved, effective training model.

Small Group Training with EDK offers three ways to learn and grow with us:

BEGINNING SEPT 1:

✨1x / week Online — $99
✨2x / week Online — $159
✨All Access / In-Person + Online sessions + VOD Library
Monthly auto-payments | 3-month commitment

When your single focus is committing to your strength, your entire approach shifts from *looking* a certain way to *building* an unbreakable foundation. 💪🏽

Strip away the distractions of what OTHER people are doing… When you make strength YOUR only goal, you are choosing to train for power, resilience and longevity.

✨Shift your focus — make your gains the priority. More than muscle, you will build capability and confidence.

✨Accept the process and progression — commit to slow and steady to avoid skipping out when “life happens.”

✨Build up to forge ahead — physical strength builds mental toughness. You can do this!

One of the topics we cover during an EDK Consult Call is your main training objective. When we receive intake forms with an extensive list of “main” goals, we can immediately detect where derailment could occur simply based on how many big goals are vying for attention all at once. 😵‍💫

When you book a call with EDK, we determine your level of commitment first and foremost. The best place to begin is by talking through what that looks like for you and developing a plan that prioritizes your time and commitment. Simplify!

If you don’t have a set goal — make choosing to commit to your strength the one and only. The rest will fall into place… 💪🏽

Ways we work with you:

✨1:1 Sessions | Online + In-Person (Minneapolis)
