Stephen Aish
Steve began his training career at the age of 10 in Taekwondo and before that was always active in sports from a young age. He achieved his 1st Dan black belt aged 14 and went on to successfully teach his own classes for nearly 15 years as a 3rd Dan instructor. He designed his own syllabus to black belt and has trained thousands of students. For 10 years he has worked his way to the top of the UK kettlebell industry as the author of the first ever REPS recognised kettlebell course, author of the UK’s first comprehensive DVD on kettlebell instruction and accompanying workouts. Steve has personally trained fitness professionals, celebrities, rock groups, the police, the military, company directors and thousands of members of the general public. He has accredited over 500 qualified kettlebell instructors and aims to increase the network to allow everyone to experience the benefits of training with kettlebells.
Steve is regarded by many as one of the leading kettlebell coaches in Great Britain personally working with, or having trained and qualified, many of the other kettlebell trainers on the market. He has a Masters degree in Strength and Conditioning, is an internationally ranked kettlebell lifter and is Kettlebell Advisor to York Fitness.
Steve currently holds two British Weightlifting Championship titles, British records and a World Record in all-round lifting. Having achieved this just 1 year after taking up Olympic Weightlifting it is evident how effective kettlebells are for improving in other sports.
As well as being director of The Strength Academy, he is also director of Biotechsprint Ltd and is just about to launch a revolutionary new product into the world of running that aims to improve bio-mechanical efficiency. Spreedfreq TM is trademarked and patent pending and will be available late 2012.
