Our Story

Bodie Larden

Kettlebell Specialist

Growing up on the south coast of NSW, he developed a love for challenge early — from motocross and rugby league to martial arts under his father’s guidance, an Australian kickboxing champion. After four years as a Combat Engineer and Army diver, he embraced functional training, valuing effectiveness over aesthetics. Ultramarathons and bodybuilding followed, but a search for purposeful movement led him to kettlebells. Today, he focuses on full-body strength, mobility, and resilience, combining weightlifting, martial arts, and athletic conditioning. His goal is to move powerfully, feel capable, and make every day feel like training for life itself.
