Kettlebell Practice & Teaching Certification with Mixed Modality Education

DV8 Kettlebell Practice & Teaching, Live Course

October 17-19, 2025 in England

Instructor: Phil Scarito, DV8 Founder

Imagine being able to learn or teach the kettlebell snatch and do so very well in mere minutes—literally—whether you have ever touched a kettlebell or not. Sound impossible? It's not, and that is the exact type of education you'll receive through DV8.

Eliminate the need for constant drills to fix skills—get even the most complex kettlebell movements right, from the start. DV8 Kettlebell coursework is the most concise and effective kettlebell practice and coaching course and certification on the market today. So effective that other educators are taking the strategies as their own, including those marketing as gold standard.

This coursework was derived fully by multi decade globally sought international instructor Phil Scarito, and you can learn directly from him at this course October 17-19, 2025.

Three days of premium education and more practical take home materials than you will find anywhere else.

We guarantee we will change your personal practice and your coaching practice, whether you practice solo or for a big box facility—no matter where you've learned prior or how long you've been practicing. We stand behind what we promise here. If you are not beyond satisfied at the time of course close, we will refund your tuition prior to you leaving.

Immense replicable-and-quantifiable success, which is equally suited not only to coaches but also those who have no interest in coaching and instead just want to practice, and practice well.

We look forward to learning with you. See you there!

Common Questions:

What kind of materials are provided?

Two manuals with over 200 pages of manual content included, as well as roughly a dozen additional in-hand take home tools to use not only during the weekend, but also the minute you return to your at-home practice or facility practice.

Not a Coach?

Yes, you are still in the right room! Every single portion of the coaching sections will apply directly to your personal practice. Plus, you do not have to test out at the end, but we encourage you to still try it as a dry run to see all that you have learned and accomplished in your weekend's coursework. You will, like each of those who have come before you, amaze yourself with the level of skill you have attained.

DV8 Programming

(Note that the above is a base list; you will learn even more in this course than what's listed.)

Welcome to DV8.

Perpetually enhanced material, never stagnant and never repackaged from anywhere else—DV8 operates on a platform that is educationally incentivized toward continuing education. A mixed modality approach to training practice, for self and students. Consistent, replicable results. And a true teaching certification—we teach you how to teach, be it self or other. And if you are choosing to test to certify (not required—you can come to simply learn without certifying as an instructor), you are also tested on your teaching ability. This is not industry standard for kettlebell certifications; come experience the difference.

DV8 Methods, Strength and Movement

A Real Life Win in Practicality—True Mixed Modality Coursework

DV8 Coursework introduces Phil Scarito’s methods of modeling and teaching Strength Instruction: from Kettlebells to Bodyweight movements, Indian clubs to Barbell. Though students certify in one particular modality in a given Certification, they learn that modality—and learn to hone and teach that modality—through a mixed modality approach. Think of it as a University, one that offers you a major with built-in, accompanying minors to help you forge your success. This application is aimed at, and suited to, teaching all learners—from those in the certification space, to those who will learn from them.

LESS DRILLS, MORE GET-IT-RIGHT-FROM-THE-START

We have all but eliminated the frustration that students face when learning a new skill, no matter how complex the skill is sold to be elsewhere. And we have made it easy for not only athletes and general population to practice those skills, but for coaches and instructors to teach those skills. Less drills, more get-it-right-from-the-start instruction. And where progressions are required, we prefer progressions to train the skills, progressions that are strengthening methods themselves, as opposed to crutches or training-wheel type approaches that must be trained out of eventually.

Our approach to Strength, from values to the physical, is revolutionary.

DV8 Practice & Teaching Courses

The most affordable option on the market, with continued accolades in premier quality. How? It's simple. Student experience is our bottom line.

What we continue to receive as our most consistent feedback is evidenced in the below:

"Developing students and educators, not pushing participants past the point of healthy practice as more of an 'initiation' type of certification into a strength or fitness club."

"Purely educational."

"Cutting to the quickest and most effective ways to learn, practice, and teach from the start."

"Education for education's sake, lacking traditional assimilate-or-go-elsewhere mentalities."

"Instead of being told, being taught."

And a clear lack of ego in every course, be it student or instructor.

NO ARBITRARY CHOICES PASSED DOWN FROM ON HIGH

(Finally, a true teaching certification, from start to finish.)

Did you know? Unlike the norm in the industry, DV8 certification testing requirements are not based on a registrant's age, gender, or weight. Learning how to select appropriate load size—barbell, kettlebell, etc.— is a crucial skill for the lay person who trains and coaches alike. Since this is a true practice and teaching certification, we not only instruct you on how to make these distinctions, but we test you on your ability to make them, and make them well. Just like you would with your students.

If you're a coach, whether solo or for a big box gym, retention is the name of the game. You are ill advised to fly blind on arbitrarily predetermined criteria in the real world when a client walks into your room. A client that is first day ... or ten years into ... their training with you. Test the way you should teach. (< --- And we mean that sentence in both ways that it can be read.)
