Learn to Swing class is for new students that have never swung a Russian kettlebell, or if you feel you need more practice and/or instruction before attending the beginner class. I recommend 4 weeks of learning the swing and it will be instructed as follows,

week 1, 2 hand swing and variations of the 2 hand swing

week 2, 1 hand swings and transfers

week 3, roundabouts

week 4, combinations of all of the above swing movements and practice, practice, practice!


Basic Beginning Swing is a 30 minute class will almost always be an "equal work to equal rest ratio", and it is scaleable to your current ability.....your ability can, and will change very quickly, lol!

Intermediate Swing/Snatch is a 30-45 minute class that includes learning the snatch, if you don't know it, and training the snatch in combination with swings. You need to already have a solid swing practice to learn snatches.

The 30 minute Max Vo2 based workout consists of snatches and speed swings, mostly done in a 15 sec work to 15 sec rest ratio, and it's not unusual for class to end with and endurance snatch set lasting 3-5 minutes (no rest).



I am offering 4 classes for the price of three, but they all have to be attended consecutively, in the same month period of time, for the simple reason that I believe in consistency. I'm most interested in people getting results, and to do that you have to train regulary.....I haven't missed a workout in almost 3 years, and I expect the same from anyone interested in training with me! Come 5-10 minutes early to stretch and warm up on your own, or park a few blocks away and use walking as a warm up, but be ready to start swinging, on time!

Girya is a small studio and can only accomodate 5-8 students, so I encourage you to reserve your space via email or phone, tracyrif@yahoo.com, (408)421-8293.

I hope these classes can work into your schedule because, I promise, you can be truly inspired to take your training to a whole new level!

Happy new year! For Christmas I got a kettlebell video - I am so excited! I've heard soem great things (from several folks), but there is no class anywhere nearby. I'm hoping this will get me started on the basics.

Tracy how do you stay motivated. I had a great run last year with about 6 mos o working out. your blog helped. I reached my personal goal of 100 snatches each hand with the 16. But I had to stop working out because i got a second job. I tried to start again this winter like I did last winter and it just doesn't work for me. My new pr goal is 150 snaches each hand with the 16. so how do you stay motavated?
