Kettlebell Juggling World Champs and Free Coaching
London, Greater London, United Kingdom
Aim
To host the UK’s first Kettlebell Juggling World Games and grow a grassroots fitness community through free and inclusive coaching.
We are Kettlebell Juggling CIC, a newly launched community organisation based in North London. Founded by world champion kettlebell juggler Elisha Lewis, we aim to make fitness creative, inclusive, and community-driven. Elisha discovered kettlebells during lockdown, and from never having exercised before, he became a world-class athlete and certified coach. Kettlebell juggling transformed his mental and physical wellbeing and now he’s committed to sharing that with others through free or low cost coaching and workshops.
We’re supported by an enthusiastic team of volunteers and athletes as well as the English Kettlebell Association. Elisha is currently coaching UK talent preparing for their first international competitions and is helping others by producing video tutorials and sport guidelines to grow the community across the country.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We’ve been given the amazing opportunity to host the 2025 Kettlebell Juggling World Games — the first ever in the UK — right here in North London. This event will bring together top international athletes and offer local people a chance to train, compete, and get inspired.
We’re also launching a programme of free and low-cost community coaching, youth workshops, and taster sessions, targeting underrepresented groups and those without access to traditional sports.
We’ll spend the money raised to cover,
- Equipment (kettlebells, child-safe gear, floor mats)
- Videographer and photographer to document the event.
- Medals, trophies, and certificates.
- Venue hire for the World Games
- Fees for community sessions over 12 months
- Project management, branding, and marketing
We’ve already begun by investing in lightweight kettlebells for children and secured a skill-swap with a professional designer for our branding.
Community impact
Kettlebell juggling is more than a sport, it’s empowering, expressive, and inclusive. It improves coordination, strength, focus, and mental health. Our sessions will support young people, women, and people from underrepresented groups, offering a creative alternative to traditional sport. This summer and beyond, we’ll deliver free taster workshops in local youth clubs and public spaces to help build a strong, diverse kettlebell community in Haringey.
Read this testimonial from one of my top students. Maxine Morris is 65 years of age and currently training very hard for her first kettlebell juggling competition - "Training in kettlebell juggling with my coach Elisha has been a truly transformative experience. Not only has it developed my coordination, timing, balance, and strength, but it has also sharpened my focus, patience, and mental resilience. I’ve found that the skills I’ve gained in juggling transfer to many other areas of my training and daily life, giving me a greater sense of control, confidence, and adaptability.
My coach brings a wealth of experience to every session, breaking down even complex movements into clear, understandable steps. His teaching style makes learning both enjoyable and achievable. What stands out most is his keen eye for detail—spotting areas for improvement that I would never notice myself, and offering precise corrections that make an immediate difference.
Thanks to Elisha's guidance, I’ve been able to progress further than I ever imagined."
