When your single focus is committing to your strength, your entire approach shifts from *looking* a certain way to *building* an unbreakable foundation. 💪🏽

Strip away the distractions of what OTHER people are doing… When you make strength YOUR only goal, you are choosing to train for power, resilience and longevity.

✨Shift your focus — make your gains the priority. More than muscle, you will build capability and confidence.

✨Accept the process and progression — commit to slow and steady to avoid skipping out when “life happens.”

✨Build up to forge ahead — physical strength builds mental toughness. You can do this!

One of the topics we cover during an EDK Consult Call is your main training objective. When we receive intake forms with an extensive list of “main” goals, we can immediately detect where derailment could occur simply based on how many big goals are vying for attention all at once. 😵‍💫

When you book a call with EDK, we determine your level of commitment first and foremost. The best place to begin is by talking through what that looks like for you and developing a plan that prioritizes your time and commitment. Simplify!

If you don’t have a set goal — make choosing to commit to your strength the one and only. The rest will fall into place… 💪🏽

It is rarely a lack of willpower. It is a lack of professional simplicity and realistic structure…

Many fall into the DIY optimization trap.

Are you trying to balance an overly complex 6-day split, navigating training apps, joining exhausting group fitness classes just to feel like you’re “working out” or piecing together what you think you think you should be doing for exercises, sets and reps?

This over-complication creates friction.
Friction kills consistency.
If your routine causes friction, you are far more likely to skip out the moment your life gets busy or you’re feeling overwhelmed.

Why the DIY & Complexity Approach Fails:

🤯 Decision fatigue from guessing your own programming variables.
🫩 Burnout from unsustainable, extreme high-volume classes / programs.
😫 Aches, injuries and plateaus from chasing exhaustion instead of skill.

Premium programming isn’t about adding more noise. It is about stripping away everything that doesn’t work. It is about moving with absolute intention, refining technique, building strength through skill development and executing a progressive plan built for sustainability.

You don’t need a crowded class or a lengthy daily commitment on an app or otherwise. You need minimalist, high-touch coaching with razor-sharp focus designed FOR you.

A favorite note from an Online Coaching student 🫶🏽:

“I loved this kettlebell training program and already feel noticeably stronger… The [sessions] were highly targeted, with a strong emphasis on proper breathing techniques and posture, which made a real difference in my performance.

Ericka provided clear, step-by-step guidance and support throughout my program, making remote training feel just as effective as in-person coaching. I also appreciated the flexibility to train both at home and at my office gym — making it easy to stay consistent.“ — I.F.

✨Key factors for her success:

💪🏽 Consistent 1:1 training 2x/week for 10 weeks
💪🏽 Convenient online sessions home + office
💪🏽 Progressive programming + technical guidance
💪🏽 Leveling up without guesswork
💪🏽 Committing to the process

No random workouts here. We focused on targeted strength work, breathing, posture, clear progressions, and making a flexible plan to fit her actual life and keep it up on her own.

That’s what great coaching should do.
Not just hand out exercises, but help you build skill, strength, and confidence you can carry forward. 🙌🏽

When we say Kettlebell Swings “work everything” — we mean it. From head to toes, you need to be dialed in… 👣

Your feet play a crucial role in your ability to generate power to project the kettlebell forward and maintain your balance, while keeping the skill low impact, functional and efficient. Every time your feet lose contact and bounce around, you’re missing out on stability and grounding tension.

During the Swing your center of gravity shifts horizontally. This shift requires your feet to grip firmly to stabilize and handle transferring weight to support your movement. When you’re not intentional about this, the kettlebell will take you with it…

✨A solid foundation relies on your feet.✨

Training barefoot on a sturdy surface is best for rooting into the floor and developing strength in your feet. Anything with squish-factor will impact your ability to grip with full-footing — rocking into the heels, pulling the toes up, or turning your feet into jumping beans.

The heavier your Swings, the more stable you want to be!

Coaching with eagle-eyes is what EDK does best. 🙌🏽

💪🏽We help you fix the mistakes that make a major difference in your ability to perform kettlebell skills safely, effectively, correctly.
💪🏽We adjust your positioning from an individualized perspective —head to toes.
💪🏽We care about how you’re learning and help you develop confidence in your kettlebell training practice. It’s our job to give you the tools to improve and coach you through technical progression with full attention.

Chasing the short-term high of quick results, but keep quitting before they become a permanent change? 🤔

If that routine was actually working, you wouldn’t be abandoning it on-and-off for months or years.

Time to “break up” with this cycle! 👋🏽

Hard truth… Novelty is not progress. Bouncing around to various fitness classes or apps and dropping off your training program when you get uncomfortable keeps you stuck in a pattern of non-commitment and little change.

If committing to something hard and putting in solid effort for a minimum of three months (standard for training programs, adaptation, progression and developing skill) feels intimidating, it’s important to get real about your goals and desired results…

EDK will help you sort through the limiting beliefs around what it takes to truly commit to your training and keep the relationship (routine) going strong, especially when the road gets rocky. 💪🏽

We’ve been guiding students through this transformative process for nearly two decades. We can guide you too.

And, the best part is that it CAN be done from a distance! 🌎

And we LOVE delivering coaching that makes a difference! 🫶🏽

Earlier this year, EDK transitioned from a traditional “class” model to strictly Small Group Training. What’s the difference? The testimonial above says it all. 🙌🏽

For over a decade, EDK has focused on quality instruction and high technical detail to ensure students are learning safe and effective strength skills without getting lost in a large group class setting.

Moving away from typical classes and calling it what it is — Small Group Training — provides our students with the value of EDK’s expert coaching and programming at a price point that aligns. Along with this shift, we require a consult call prior to joining our SGT sessions so we can clearly define your training objectives and discuss the best option for your training path and progression.

We get to know each other. We discuss your exercise history and talk through any past / present injuries or limitations. We prioritize your training goals and clearly define what it will look like to achieve them. We get to the root of what’s held you back and what will propel you forward. 💪🏽

Classes are for the masses.

Small Group Training gives YOU the coaching attention you deserve, plus the community vibe in a small group — each person shows up with the same focus, but with different goals and a set system to reach them.

If you’re interested in experiencing what we offer and how it’s different, book your call and let’s chat!

If you want to develop a strong push-up, get off your knees. 💪🏽

Replacing knee push-ups with elevated push-ups is the best way to build the tension and strength required to perform a full push-up.

Want to nail your first push-up or improve your current push-up practice? 🙌🏽

🎯We guide students on a solid progressive path starting with optimal positioning and total tension planks.

🎯We determine the appropriate elevation to maintain this tension through movement, training the body to remain rigid from head to heels.

🎯We slowly decrease the elevation over time, transferring the mechanics and necessary leverage each rep.

🎯We adjust, stick with it and learn how to TRAIN the body to adapt for strong push-up success.

Push-ups are an essential bodyweight exercise that will arm you with strength and confidence. ✋🏽Stop choosing shortcuts that are keeping you from true strength development.
