Workshops for Coaches

May 15th, 2012

As coaches, it is always important to pursue skills enrichment through continuing education.
SWF will be organising 2 workshops targeted at coaches and sports enthusiasts in June 2012

 

1. Kettlebell Training – For Strength & Conditioning (max. 20pax)
For enthusiasts and sports coaches, the focus is on the fundamentals of kettlebell training for better sport performance, increase muscular strength & endurance.
CONDUCTED BY ANDYN
Andyn started personal training in 2006 after he obtained his personal training Certification. Andyn studied directly under Steve Cotter to attain his level 2 certification as a registered Kettlebell coach with the International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation (IKKF). Andyn is also the authorised pre and post certification course provider for the IKKF here in Singapore.

His philosophy as a trainer/coach is to be able to help clients achieve a better quality of life by educating them and guiding them to break away from conventional thoughts about fitness.

His method of an ideal workout is “Keep everything simple and always remember the basics. We don’t have to complicate things. Keeping it simple does not mean that we cannot progress, but it is a key for us to progress efficiently without jeopardising results and the quality of our workout. In that way, our training will be more enjoyable and it keeps the flow going. In other words, consistency! Our aim is to make it part of our lifestyle and not something that we do when we need to look good for a certain period of time or for a certain event because in that way, we are putting ourselves and our body at risk. Therefore train hard and smart.”
