Developed and Taught by Zar Horton, Senior SFG

Coaching and instruction is more than just working your client into the ground. Good coaching  means making the right choices in order to get the desired results. The more ways you have to teach something the faster your student learns, and the faster you get results. Having the most tools in your toolbox means the right “fix” for your client becomes easy.

Having multiple drills, cues, concepts, and depth of understanding sets you apart as a trainer and coach. This workshop is designed for kettlebell instructors and movement coaches and presents years of accumulated experience in just a few hours. The Instructor’s Toolbox Workshop will give you an incredible arsenal of drills, tips, and cues – enabling you to get the most work done in the shortest period of time.
