Discover exercises and workouts it's likely you'd never come up with on your own, feel the magic of our workouts working after one class, and see results in just a few weeks. Pro Kettlebell follow-along workouts are strength & cardio in one, for minimum time and maximum rewards. We've tracked hundreds of members through three weeks of 4 classes per week and seen undeniable success, with members often doubling the results of their rep tests in three weeks. Pro Kettlebell is all about using the methods and kettlebell lifting techniques discovered and honed by world-class, professional kettlebell lifters to build super-hero strength without breaking you down. The "secret" to all success is consistency, and you can't be consistent if you're injured, so it's critical to not over-train or do exercises that are more risk than reward. Our system for designing classes and programs evolved over years and years of running the largest kettlebell gym in the world, which required offering classes where a person brand-new to working out could be in class with a super-fit, competitive lifter standing next to them and they both get a great workout... AND the new person isn't intimidated. It was a tough recipe to figure out, but we did it! Only one light-to-medium kettlebell is required to complete hundreds of fun workouts on this app, the majority of which are roughly 30-minutes, but we also have shorter classes and some up to 55-minutes. The workouts feature a professional coach narrating the workout while you follow-along in real-time with the "pace-setter," who's doing the workout with you. If you have matching pairs and a variety of weights, don't worry, you'll get to use them! Classes include modifiers for single or double bells, and recommendations for heavier or lighter weights when appropriate. We suggest everyone begin with the "Kettlebell Kickstarter" 4-class intro series. You'll learn the techniques we're so passionate about while getting a great workout at the same time. After that, you can pick and choose classes by time, theme, or body part if you like, but we always recommend follow our programs in order for best results. Programs range from 21-days to 3 months. Try it out - have fun and get swinging.

A pood is the old Russian unit of weight — the native language of kettlebells. A 16 kg bell is one pood; a 32 kg bell is two. Pood is the tracker for people who take kettlebell training seriously — whatever unit their bells are stamped in. Most kettlebell apps are workout-video libraries with a rep counter bolted on. Pood is the opposite: tracking first. Log sets one-handed mid-session, watch your volume build across months, and follow structured minimalist programs without the bloat. LOG WITHOUT FRICTION • Giant one-handed controls — your other hand is holding a bell • Reps, sets, left/right sides, and the exact bell you used • Rest timer with a quiet haptic pulse • Session summary with a clean shareable card SEE YOUR STRENGTH ADD UP • Cumulative poods lifted — lifetime training volume in the unit that started it all • Every number in your unit, totals included: kilograms, pounds, or poods, your choice • Volume trends, personal records, session density, streaks • Interactive charts you can scrub FOLLOW A PROGRAM, NOT A FEED • Daily Minimalist: the classic hundred swings and ten get-ups (free) • Groundwork: three rotating sessions to build strength and confidence with the core kettlebell lifts (free) • Grindwork: progress from Groundwork with press ladders, unilateral let work, and a measured swing interval • Press Ladders, Two-Bell Builder, the 10,000 Swing Challenge, Snatch Foundations • Enroll once and the home screen knows your next session YOURS, LOCALLY • No account, no feed, no ads • Works fully offline — your data stays on your device • Saves finished workouts to Apple Health • Log in kg, lb, or poods — switch anytime, everything converts, always free The free tier is complete: unlimited logging, your full history, two full programs, and core progress charts. Premium adds the complete analytics suite, the program builder, the premium programs, and export/import capabilities. Bought the unlock in Kettlebell Tracker v1? Premium is yours for good. Pood — the original unit of strength. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://pood.fit/privacy/
