ABOUT MICHAEL SKOGG
Michael is a world-renowned kettlebell coach, educator and author. He is a leader in the fitness industry as well as an inspiration to all who have trained and learned from him. His long history working with kettlebells, understanding of how the body works, and the unique workouts he has created make him a standout in kettlebell training.
Michael was introduced to kettlebells over twenty years ago while stationed in Scotland with the U.S. Military. He instantly saw the superiority of this full-body training, and has continued to evolve and refine his own kettlebell workouts to develop the SKOGG System. Because Michael is educated in sports injury rehabilitation and corrective exercise, he has a unique approach to strengthening and conditioning the body. Michael’s approach to kettlebell training emphasizes converting vulnerabilities into strengths, bringing out the full potential of every part of the body. His clients have watched their bodies transform, even those suffering from injuries they were told they would otherwise never have fully recovered from. He has trained everyone from professional athletes to workout buffs to those who are just beginning to exercise for the first time.
