The School of Strength

Strongfirst, founded by Pavel Tsatsouline, is the gold standard for coaches and instructors in the use of Kettlebells, Barbells and Bodyweight Strength and Conditioning.

StrongFirst is all about mastering strength. It’s about training with purpose and precision, using kettlebells, barbells, and bodyweight exercises to develop functional strength that supports everything else you do.

Strongfirst is mostly a family than just an organization with these concepts:

Strength is the master quality

Strength is a skill

One body, any exercise

Strength has a greater purpose

You can be whatever you want, but you must be strong first.
