The goal of Strong for Life is to hand you the tools you need to carry strength throughout the rest of your life - both physically + mentally.
Strength training:
builds muscle mass
improves bone density
reduces risk for many chronic health conditions, like cardiovascular diseases + diabetes
It also creates an empowered mindset.
Heavy weights help show you what’s possible and creates a confidence that carries over directly into your business + your personal life.
You already know the importance of operating in your zone of genius,
so why are you still trying to DIY your fitness?
Instead of self-selecting a workout from an on-demand library of 150 classes, rely on an expert (hi!) to help you move the needle with a structured, intentional training plan.
You’ll engage in shorter, more efficient workouts that energize you for your product pitch, your podcast interview, or a playground playdate.
Hi, I’m Kathryn Blaze.
Certified kettlebell specialist + NASM personal trainer + cheerleader for sustainable fitness. Wife + mama + lover of chocolate chips.
After teaching barre for years (and forcing myself into occasional burpee-filled HIIT classes because I thought I “needed more cardio)… I found kettlebells.
I realized that strength training can be slow + intentional.
It doesn’t have to leave you in an exhausted puddle on the floor.
That you can walk away from a session feeling grounded and strong, and ready to take on the rest of your day.
My experience with strength + kettlebells has been all about balance.
The way I learned - and the way I teach - focuses on mindful strength. Moving in a way that challenges your body, but also respects recovery, which is required for progress.
I’m all about the middle ground —
which is why I created Strong for Life.
You’ll learn the foundations of
kettlebells + bodyweight work so that at the end of 8 weeks you can confidently follow a DIY program, jump into a live class, or progress to more advanced kettlebell skills.
You’ll walk away having mastered the following skills:
- Goblet clean
- Goblet squat
- 2 arm deadlift
- Single arm deadlift
- Single arm row
- Overhead strict press
- Goblet reverse lunge
- Elevated pushup
- Suitcase carry
- Goblet march
- Hardstyle plank
What people are saying
about training with Kathryn…
“I signed up for my first ever weight training class because I wanted to support a local mom who embarked on a business adventure. I’ve stuck with it because I feel stronger and my chronic neck and back pain disappeared. This has been a surprising commitment for me because when I see weight, I typically run in the opposite direction!”
“I was intrigued by a new (less boring) method of strength training. As a Pilates instructor I like the flow and precision kettlebell training seems to have.
Kathryn breaks everything down so that it makes sense and feels safe/effective. It moves slow enough that I felt I could learn without harming myself.
I feel stronger, I can lift heavier things! I was able to learn how to do things correctly and so I’ve been able to continually challenge myself and increase the weight I can lift/press etc”
Why Strength?
Because strength training is MANDATORY for creating a resilient body now AND as we age.
Our daily life demands that we move our body under load.
We carry our 30 pound toddler.
We haul grocery bags to the car.
We drag a bag of mulch to the garden.
Strength training PREPARES our body for everyday tasks and beyond…
…without worrying about throwing out your back.
Why kettlebells?
Because you only need 1 or 2 for a complete training program.
They’re relatively inexpensive.
You can stash them in your closet or toss them (carefully) in the car for your next road trip.
The shape of the bell creates an offset center of gravity, which requires the use of stabilizing muscles in every move.
The shape makes it incredibly versatile, and uniquely suited to ballistic movements like swings + snatches.
Why virtual?
Why NOT virtual!?
No commute time to/from your sessions. Roll out of bed and grab your bell…
No additional gym fees — grab a kettlebell + squat in your kitchen, your backyard, or while traveling…
No need to get dressed - wear your PJs if you want, no judgement here!
Privacy — move your body in the comfort of your home with a small group of like-minded professional women.
FAQs
+ What kettlebell knowledge do I need before joining?
None! This program is perfect for you if you've never touched a kettlebell before. It will teach you how to start incorporating heavier weights into your routine without any fuss or fear! No scary stuff, not rushed - basic foundations that will serve you in ALL forms of exercise/movement, as well as daily life.
+ I'm already into heavier weights - is Strong for Life for me?
Maybe! If you're unfamiliar with kettlebell technique, or have only ever done DIY kettlebell work, this could be a great way to really perfect your skills. Whether you're new to strength training or already comfortable with heavier weights, Strong for Life is an effective training program that will help you improve foundational movement patterns (push/pull/hinge/squat/carry/anti-rotation) and solidify your kettlebell technique.
+ I have a knee/wrist/back/etc issue, is Strong for Life the right program for me?
I always offer options during our sessions so that you can make movements work for you. However, you'll want to make sure you're medically cleared for exercise before joining any new movement program. Let's chat more and make sure this is the right fit for you!
+ What equipment do I need?
1-2 kettlebells. I'd suggest 1 weight you can press overhead for 5 repetitions (typically 6-12kg) + something a bit heavier for lower body (10-16kg). Feel free to contact me if you have specific questions!
+ How long is the program?
The program runs for 8 weeks, with 2 live sessions per week.
+ What if I miss a session?
Stuff happens! Replays will be available if you have to miss a session. However, this is a Live program and live attendance is required. If you aren't sure you'll be able to attend most of the (24) sessions, email me and let's talk about other options xo hello@kathrynblaze.com
+ Do I need to do other workouts inbetween our sessions?
We'll meet for live sessions 2x a week. The rest of the week I'd encourage you to engage in other types of movement you enjoy ... Walking, hiking, yoga, bodyweight “movement snacks” at home, etc.
+ What if I have specific questions on my technique? Is there any way to get additional feedback or help?
Yes! You'll have an initial 1:1 Onboarding call before the group sessions begin where we can assess various movement components + discuss any restrictions or concerns. You can also always ask questions/request help with technique after each of our group sessions on Zoom. You'll also have access to me via the private Facebook group.
+ Did I miss something?
