With quirky fitness classes having a huge impact on the fitness industry, let’s take time to speak to Michael Ross, founder and creator of KETTFusion.

What is KETTFusion?
KETTFusion is a 50 or 60 minute class that fuses lightweight kettlebells, with martial arts exercises to deliver a full body cardio, strength, stamina and conditioning workout.

How popular is KETTFusion?
Very, and becoming more so as more and more instructors qualify. We can be found mainly in the North West and North East, and now in Ireland, Spain and Italy.

Why do you think the class has become so popular?
The great music and its specific BPM (beats per minute) is an integral part of KETTFusion. It acts a little like a personal trainer, encouraging you to work a little harder. Using up to 600 calories in a class is very achievable, but there is always an emphasis, depending on your fitness, to scale that down. At the core, is the importance of ‘enjoying’ the workout. So fun is also a big part of the class. I wanted a class that would appeal to everyone, regardless of their age, size or ability. And then there is the music. We use a variety of different music genres, from popular or retro music for the kettlebell section, and then African tribal/Tabata type rhythms for the martial arts exercise section.

 

Musical Theatre Fitness began in July 2020 and we have since expanded into 5 different class types and a UK wide franchise for our most popular class ‘Work It Out’, which is endorsed by EMD UK.

Taught by fitness professionals and musical performers our tracks range from slow to fast, and help to develop stamina and strength, boost your heart health, help you destress, improve co-ordinate and overall fitness, whilst having lots of fun and singing along!

We currently host in person classes in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, London, Llandudno, and at sea; onboard the Celebrity Cruises. We are expanding and always looking to take on more musical loving instructors around the UK.

Our ethos is to inspire people to find joy in exercise. Living and moving the body, however we can, should be joyous and we want to provide classes and a community for anyone and everyone who simply wants a fun way to promote their physical and mental health and wellbeing. Remember that life is a journey, and if you fall in love with the journey, you will be in love forever.
