Why Kettlebells?
In a word: versatility. Due to their design, kettlebells are perfectly suited to a wide variety of strength exercises and explosive ballistic movements. Students can develop strength, power, conditioning and movement using a single tool. This makes kettlebells the perfect tool within our training system.
Who is this for?
Our training is designed for the everyday athlete: anyone who wants to maintain and develop their ability to participate in sport and recreational activities as they age. It's a perfect fit for runners, mixed martial artists, golfers, cyclists, you name it. From Jiu-Jitsu to Ultramarathons, our training is built to support your sport and the physical demands of everyday life. We want you to be ready for the next thing, whatever that might be.
About Us
My name is Daniel Funchess and I've worked as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer in Spokane for five years. I have a passion for kettlebell, barbell and bodyweight training, which is why I started Spokane Kettlebell Club in 2023 in the hopes that I could help others share in this passion as they pursue fitness that matters.
I am a Functional Movement Systems certified professional as well as a StrongFirst certified kettlebell, barbell and bodyweight instructor (SFG I, SFL, SFB).
Strength
We prioritize strength by focusing on heavy compound movements like the deadlift, back squat, bench press and military press to build maximal strength and set PRs. We also incorporate single-leg, unilateral, and bodyweight exercises to develop functional strength across a variety of patterns that carries over to sport and everyday life.
Conditioning
We utilize real-time heartrate data and thoughtfully designed conditioning protocols in order to build power, strength, endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness in time-efficient blocks. We train the aerobic, glycolytic and phosphagen energy systems to build strength that lasts and power that won't quit. Whether you're a fighter, a runner or just someone who's interested in long-term health, we've got you covered.
Nutrition
In order to better help you reach your health and fitness goals, we offer sustainable nutrition planning powered by Macrostax as part of all our services. By focusing on macros and calories rather than strict dieting, you can still enjoy your favorite foods and stay on track towards your goals.
Accountability
We're here to help you show up, do the work, and get results through systematic accountability. You'll earn points for your workouts, hitting your macros and being physically active outside the gym. We'll track your performance, establish monthly targets that emphasize progress over perfection, and provide guidance on key areas for improvement.
