Having attained a WKC III ranking, Mark will push himself even further by competing with 2 X 20kg Kettlebells.
Silvia, recently attended the Trojans Kettlebell Sports camp with Gregor Sobocan, and will be competing with the 12kgs.
We wish them super-luck and proud to have them representing Brighton Kettlebells!
Kill it guys!!

Silvia Elia snatches the 16kg for time!

A true display of what can be achieved if you put the time and effort in!
Silvia Elia showed a lot of the boys how to work it, by snatching a static kettlebell (that is a dead weight from the floor!) for reps during our killer circuit today!

Silvia is a regular attendant to Brighton Kettlebell Fitness Classes, often clocking up three classes a week minimum!

This results in not only a physique to be proud of, but excellent strength and technique in most exercises.

For this reason, Silvia will be awarded the rare, limited edition Black Brighton Kettlebells t-shirt, complete with the winged logo and distressed lettering.



This will be awarded to those who show determination, work hard and frequently attend classes.

Silvia is our Brighton Kettlebells Freak of the Week!
