Coach Alex Porter
Presented by Alex Porter of CrossFit Auckland. This workshop covers fundamental Kettlebell movements that can be readily applied to the CrossFit GPP prescription. The wealth of Kettlebell knowledge at CrossFit Auckland allows a broad understanding of both traditional Girevoy style, and the popular western Hardstyle.
Also a Coach at CrossFit Auckland is Michael Roach, one of the first certified senior Kettlebell instructors in New Zealand. A Soldier in the New Zealand Army’s Territorial Force, Michael trained under, and was certified by none other than Pavel Tsatsouline – former trainer to the Russian Spetsnaz. Michael received his RKC Diploma from Tsatsouline in the US in 2006. He has acquired additional Kettlebell certifications and uses his extensive knowledge to train athletes from all walks of life.
Alex has used Kettlebells for numerous years in the conditioning of combat athletes. His CKT qualification was issued by Steve Cotter, a legend of the sport, under the IKFF federation. Alex has used his Kettlebell knowledge to good effect – from using Kettlebells in the design of CrossFit Auckland WODs to creating popular Team Training programmes.
