I have been training with Russell for many years. He is an excellent training either in one to one or group sessions and I really feel the cumulative benefit in terms of my strength and fitness. His group sessions are great fun. Yes, he works us hard but the banter is always enjoyable and everyone goes out of their way to welcome and support new members. There is always a harder and an easier option for each of the exercises so people can work at their own level. If you want to get fit and tone up I have no hesitation in recommending KB3 Training. Give it a try - the worst that can happen is that you feel you have wasted an evening. But I bet you won’t.

Russell is a really motivating and uplifting trainer and an all-round lovely guy. I've been joining a couple of his classes on Zoom every week since the start of lockdown and they have really kept me going. He works you hard but he does it with a smile and lots of banter along the way, and you really feel part of a community which is so crucial for keeping up exercise habits. I'm already feeling results three months in - I have biceps for the first time in my life! Keep up the good work Russ!

I’ve been with Russell for 7 years now. Starting at the age of 12, kettle bells has helped me out massively for my boxing; explosive power, flexibility, strength and for cardiovascular wise kettle bells is the hardest form of training I’ve done. All in one session your improving your flexibility, strength and stamina which not many types of training can do all 3 in one session. I’m 19 years old now, youngest in the group by a few years but always have a good laugh at Russell’s sessions, always fun to be around and group banter is spot on. With my time with Russell, I’ve boxed for England, won a national title and been in 2 national finals and currently on Royal Navy boxing team. Russell has been a big part of that for helping me with my strength training. I use kettle bells every week and always will do.

Russell is a great teacher. His style is not overwhelming which allows you to take on board each lesson and progress with confidence. Without doubt his classes have given me strength and broadened my thinking on fitness. Go do it!

I’ve known Russell for a long time (some would say too long!) but only got back off of the sofa and recontacted him after a long absence in June 2018. I’d just got back playing squash but was at least a stone overweight and kept getting niggley injuries. I signed up for the monthly plan, including weekly PT, animal flow, watt bike drills and kettle bells - great variety! Animal flow in particular has been a revelation for me - Pilates for blokes! - I’ve not been to the Osteopath for 8 months! Two other benefits - I’ve lost that stone in weight (feel much better, more confident etc.) and my squash has improved too! What did I have to do? Commit and don’t make excuses! Russell is a great motivator and the rest of his clientele are people like me and great people to train (& have a laugh) with.

Started training with Russell after suffering terrible back pain in January 2019 and realising my hamstrings were so tight I could barely lift my legs when laying down. After focusing on stretches and strengthening my core, we’ve begun lifting more weights as well as continuing the cardio workouts with killer watt bike sessions. I’d tell you he was an excellent PT who cares about his clients, but, he’d get a big head and be unbearable in our next sessions...so I’ll just keep that to myself.

After an injury hit year I made the step of engaging Russell to help get me back to fitness. What he did for me was give me a steady approach slowly building strength and cardio. I am now enjoying training again and as each session builds on the last progress is slow and steady. Long may it continue.

fantastic! I came to Russell after a long period of chiropractic care with back problems. He has been very supportive in helping me in my recovery. Now some 3 years on I still train with Russell regularly 2 times a week. He encourages and supports you through all aspects of training not just KB's One warning!! This is highly addictive!!!

Was a 'test subject' for the inaugural KB3 Kettlebell classes and honestly was (and still is) the best fitness based activity I've done. Russell first worked with me on my fitness over 25 years ago and I can't speak highly enough of the way he goes about what he does. No matter your age/gender you couldn't put your fitness and overall well being in better hands.
