Kettlebell Training Coach, done properly — from anywhere in Pietermaritzburg
One or two kettlebells and a few square metres of floor can carry a remarkable amount of training — if the technique is right. Maddy's kettlebell coaching builds the skills in their proper order: the hip hinge before the swing, the swing before the clean, the clean before the press, with the get-up developing control from the floor to overhead. Ballistic lifts like the swing and snatch are timing skills, which is why this coaching leans on live sessions — real-time eyes on your hinge beat any written cue. Programming alternates grind strength work with ballistic conditioning, so one compact tool covers both ends of fitness. Sessions are short, dense, and repeatable at home. Check-ins track your logged sets and bell sizes, and the plan tells you exactly when you have outgrown a bell rather than leaving it to bravado.

Common questions
What size kettlebell should I buy first?
It depends on your training history, which the Body Scan captures — but the honest general answer is heavier than most beginners guess for swings, lighter than pride wants for presses. Maddy confirms your starting sizes before you spend, so the bell fits the plan.
Are kettlebell swings bad for the back?
A swing performed as a squat-and-lift is where trouble starts; a swing performed as a sharp hip hinge is the point of the exercise. That is why the hinge is coached and confirmed before ballistics enter your plan — and why the early sessions are live.
Can kettlebells replace my gym membership?
For general strength and conditioning, one or two bells cover a surprising majority of it. If your goals eventually turn to maximal barbell strength or bodybuilding-scale muscle, a gym earns its fee again — and the plan is honest about when that day comes.

Yes — online. There is no FitnessByMaddy studio in Pietermaritzburg; kettlebell clients in Pietermaritzburg train at home with their own bells, with live technique sessions and check-ins booked in Pietermaritzburg's local time.
