I have been a member of a lot of different gym’s, but none of them gave me the workout I was looking for or the weight loss I wanted. I have been struggling with my weight loss for a long time. Then I heard about Seacoast kettlebell. Did a little research on the gym and decided to do the 1-month trial. From that point on I was hooked! I never left any of my gym’s feeling the way I feel when I leave Seacoast Kettlebell.
In April of 2014, I had to have emergency surgery on my gallbladder, let’s just say things didn’t go as planned and it laid me up for about 6 to 8 weeks. When my doctor said it was ok, I started back at Seacoast but got into the smaller groups so I could slowly get my strength back and work my way up to larger classes. Seacoast kettlebell really changed my life.
To date, I have lost just under 80 lb’s went from a 46 waist to a 34/36 waist and am in the best shape of my life since my late 20’s and early 30’s. I have more energy then I know what to do with it and I owe it all to Seacoast Kettlebell.
Thank You Staff and Trainers!!

The Turkish Get Up Is AWESOME
The Turkish Get Up is a staple kettlebell exercise. It links back to Turkish Wrestlers who used it to build functional strength for their sport. It seems silly at first. How hard is it to just stand up? But try it with some heavyweight—it’s no joke!
Here’s a few of the benefits:
- Builds strong, SEXY and stable shoulders in multiple planes and positions
- Improves core stability and strength
- Improves hip mobility and trains hip extension
- Develops basic movement patterns—ie makes you MOVE BETTER!
- Improves posture
- Is an awesome FULL BODY STRENGTH builder
The Turkish Get Up is best used as a warm-up or for low repetitions to build strength. Avoid high reps, and avoid performing this exercise while fatigued. Take your time and be deliberate with your movement. I think back to when I was an Infantry Officer on the rifle range and hearing the mantra, “Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.” Be smooth and deliberate but do not rush your reps for beautiful Turkish Get Ups
Here the basic steps we teach at Seacoast Kettlebell:
1. Safely press the kettlebell over your chest.
2. Drive hard onto your elbow.
3. Push Up to your hand.
4. Bridge your hips.
5. Sweep you knee under your body.
6. Windmill up
7. Lunge to stand
8. Reverse. Then switch sides
