QLD Kettlebells

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a gym where the guys throw their weights on the ground and are super sleazy.. this ain't it. It's been difficult to find a safe space to slowly strengthen my body post partum and I'm so thankful to have been introduced to QKB from my amazing mum. She's been coming here 6 days a week for over 5 years now and is so strong. The people are kind and supportive which is so crucial in encouraging me to turn up at the gym each day. Piers and the trainers are knowledgable and help with sporting injury recovery and post partum recovery too. They give really concise and helpful feedback to ensure that you are doing the exercises correctly so you get the most out of your time there. There's a wide range of ages and abilities and I love that it's kid friendly so I can still turn up with 2 kids in tow if I need to. There's always someone to aspire to so I enjoy that motivation. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a safe space to grow strong with a genuine community. Thank you so much to Piers and team for everything

Fantastic experience: Great focus on foundational strength to ensure your moving well and strong for everyday life. Head Coach Piers knows what’s up. QKB is a quirky down to earth club where you move at your own pace. No WODs here. Enjoy!

Fantastic experience: Bells, coffee and community. I have been regularly attending QKB for about 6 years now, and there are many reasons I keep coming back. The knowledge about strength training, programming and how your body should move have all set me up for a stronger, more productive life. The classes are varied and efficient, and leave you feeling fresh and wanting to come back. And the people who both run and attend helps make the gym what it is. An inclusive space focused on health and wellbeing, and lots of great coffee. Highly recommend - 5 STARS

Fantastic experience: QKB is a great place to train. Piers and his team are knowledgeable, encouraging and motivating. With their help you can perfect the movements and achieve your goals without injuries. It has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Children and dog are welcomeCoffee is great too. A life changing gym and I highly recommend to come and join us.

Fantastic experience: Queensland Kettlebells is where you can make significant gains in your strength and conditioning without sacrificing your long term health. The breadth and depth of knowledge in movement and training is second to none. Could not recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: QKB is a unique space to train. It’s calm and focused, but a tonne of fun. Piers and his team are incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging but never pushy. I have only been training at QKB for a year, but I have never felt stronger and more capable than I do now.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. Cannot recommend Piers and Nicci enough. Intelligent, thoughtful instruction and programming, fantastic atmosphere and coffee. I would be training here full time if distance wasn’t an issue. Workshops are fantastic and I always learn something different even though I have attended many different types over the years.

Fantastic experience: What a great place! I'm feeling so much better in a very short time. I don't know any other gym where you experience this level of knowledge, wisdom, bad jokes and inspiration (and of course the coffee;)). QLD Kettlebells is a community. Thank you all!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Brisbane. Coaching is top notch with a real emphasis on safe movement and matching the workouts to your current ability. Lovely people also well, I felt welcome right away and that kept me coming back even after the long COVID break. Minus one star for no air conditioning, plus five thousand stars for Betsy.

Fantastic experience: We have been training with Piers and his team for over 7 years and won't be moving away anytime soon! They offer the perfect combination of expert advice and coaching where they take all of the guesswork out of your training, and combined that with approachable and realistic staff who genuinely want you to move more comfortably. QLD Kettlebells has created a special environment for everyday folks from all walks of life who want to get stronger to do normal, every day things. Things like taking the groceries into the house, walking up a few flights of stairs, and get up from a squatting position when gardening without suffering an injury. Full disclosure, we are not body builders and we have never wanted to "shred" or even lose weight, ever. If you are this is not the gym for you. If you're a normal person who wants to be more active and work on your strength - check them out! You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic.

Fantastic experience: QKB isn’t just a gym. There’s a genuine community feel, and within the framework of kettlebell, Original Strength and barbell training, anyone of any age and level can pursue their goals and learn from a diverse group of incredibly knowledgeable and supportive people.

Fantastic experience: Simple the best community to learn the skills of getting stronger.

Fantastic experience: This is not your regular gym; rather, a community of people who share a common goal of moving well to feel well physically and mentally. Great facilities and knowledgeable supportive team who put their clients well-being at the fore.

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic session here with Nicci. I travelled from Ipswich for a one-on-one form check of swings and getups and it was most definitely worth the trip. I only wish I lived closer to call this my local. From my brief snapshot of the gym and community, it's positive and welcoming. At the end of the day, I took home some great cues for the swing and getup, and some great recommendations for further resources.

Fantastic experience: QLD kettlebells is a unique and genuinely wonderful place to train. The philosophy the gym in founded on creates a welcoming, supportive and friendly environment for all. Whether you're new to exercise, looking to explore training with kettlebells or an advanced exerciser, QLD kettlebells is a place to experience. You'll be challenged, learn about how you move, get stronger, more athletic and laugh. It's a community - a place to meet new people and make friends - and drink great coffee. Treat yourself!

Fantastic experience: legends are made here

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, even better community

Fantastic experience: Have been at Qld Kettlebells for a little over 6 months now and as a place to learn movement and grow in an understanding of what you're capable of I can only highly recommmend it. A warm welcoming environment for people of all fitness levels to learn train and enjoy.

Fantastic experience: Excellent knowledge teaching techniques. Willing to go the extra mile to help you reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: As an over 50 year old female I know that strength is really important to stave off potential problems later in life. Piers at Qld Kettle bells offers professional training sessions where I feel comfortable and I can train at my own pace. I never thought I would be so happy in an environment like this. My posture is improving, my strength is improving but most of all am feeling more confident.

Fantastic experience: Piers offers a unique experience to people pursuing health, strength and fitness goals. His experience and ongoing self education makes him an asset to Brisbane and I can't recommend him enough if you want to learn, explore and make yourself into a happier, healthier you :-)

Fantastic experience: I love coming to QLD Kettlebells. I've never been a particularly athletic or strong person, but joined a bit over a year ago, to get healthier and stronger and I love how far I have come in that time. Piers has created such a great, positive atmosphere. I really enjoy going to the gym and seeing the results I'm getting.

Fantastic experience: Been training here since July '15. Definitely feel the strongest and healthiest I've ever been. As an nonathletic, ectopmorphic Japanese twig, I'm totally surprised and stoked with my rate of progress so far. The trainers here are all SFG certified and are very relaxed with their approach to instruction. The Original Strength stuff they teach is also awesome and life changing. Great environment to train too, there's none of that meathead bro type among the clienteles. Though there are plenty of masochists (myself included)

Fantastic experience: Piers and the entire team at QLD Kettlebells are amazing coaches with dedication that goes far beyond what you will experience anywhere else. Their knowledge and skill set, coupled with a burning desire to help others makes it unbeatable.

Fantastic experience: A unique gym in the heart of East brisbane. I love the quality instruction with smart programming. The gym has a great community of varying types of personalities that add to a fun and supportive training environment.

Fantastic experience: Piers and his members all contribute to a fantastic and encouraging environment to move well and get strong in. The programming is simple yet effective, with special attention being provided to making sure you leave uninjured so you can enjoy the activities that really matter.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with an excellent headcoach, Piers Kwan. Piers brings a wealth of knowledge to the table combined with a genuine interest in improving his clients that you don't get in a lot of other places. Training at QKB is not like training at just a gym, it's training with a family where everyone supports each other and has a very positive atmosphere. An excellent gym that is highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Piers and his team offer a knowledge based approach to strengthening the body. With this comes health and vitality and an energy I have not enjoyed before. I have been a loyal client for almost two years now. I keep engaging with Piers due to his realistic approach to training goals and activities - never will he expect me to work so hard I collapse. It's all about small victories and building upon success. I'm so much stronger than I have ever felt in my life, and I know I'm getting stronger in a healthy and sustainable way with Qld Kettlebells. I have enjoyed our varied workout plans and encourage anyone considering using bells or undertaking strength training to look him up.

Fantastic experience: Classes at QKB have been a welcome change to a regular gym environment. Training is accessible, fun and has improved my everyday movement and strength beyond anything I had considered possible in such a short time. I've seen a huge lessening of tension headaches and mental fatigue, which has a had a big positive impact on my quality of life. Just as importantly, the genuine care and warmth of the team is unfaltering and reflected in the community of people who train there.

Fantastic experience: I am a person that does not like gyms at all, however I have been going to Qld Kettlebells now for 8 weeks and actually am enjoying these and seeing results already. Piers and his trainers are very friendly and easy to get along with. I would recommend Qld Kettlebells to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been undertaking the 1 on 1 personal training sessions with Piers and it has been the best decision as I wanted to improve my movement and flexibility particularly running after having 2 knee operations. My running has been much freer and I have been striding out a lot more, the best in a long time. My overall fitness is greater and I cannot recommend Piers highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Strength training backed by amazing knowledge & support. QLD Kettlebells sets the standard when it comes to training, support & great fun.

Fantastic experience: Piers really listened to me and articulated what I wanted to achieve even before I did. Still in the middle of the StrongBody challenge now; getting results and feeling great. I was a weakling who could barely do 1 chin up. Everyone is really helpful with technique and motivation.
