FTI Philippines

FIBO 2026 in Cologne brought together an incredible mix of fitness professionals, brands, coaches, clubs, and industry leaders. 🌍

FTI Global was proud to attend the event, with Coach Tarek spending time alongside ZIVA, connecting in person with partners, new clients, and the broader fitness community.

The event had a huge amount of energy, with HYROX continuing to bring new people into movement, health, training, and performance. It is exciting to see more people engaging with fitness in ways that challenge them, connect them, and keep them coming back.

For FTI Global, FIBO was also a great reminder of the value of real conversations. Meeting people face to face, hearing what clubs and coaches are working through, and seeing where the industry is moving gives even more meaning to the education we deliver.

Thank you to ZIVA and everyone who connected with us throughout the event.

What trend do you think is shaping the fitness industry most right now: HYROX, strength training, recovery, functional training, or coach education?

FTI is really excited to be part of FIBO 2026 alongside ZIVA.

There is always something special about events like this. Being in the room, meeting people face to face, sharing experiences, and having real conversations about ideas, opportunities, and where the industry is heading.

Coach Tarek will be at the ZIVA stand on 16–17 April during FIBO in Cologne, which takes place from 16–19 April at the Exhibition Centre Cologne.

It is a great opportunity for FTI to connect with industry people, catch up with familiar faces, meet new ones, and be part of the energy that only comes from being there in person.

If you are around, come by the ZIVA stand and say hello.

Why Kettlebells Move Differently

Ever wonder why kettlebell movements flow in a way dumbbells can’t? It’s all about the off-centre weight distribution, which creates leverage and momentum, allowing for smoother, more dynamic movements across multiple planes.

Unlike a dumbbell, which distributes weight evenly for stability, a kettlebell’s design transforms it into an extension of your body—perfect for explosive movements like swings, cleans, and snatches.

This is why kettlebell training is so effective for developing strength, power, and endurance. Want to take your skills to the next level?

For the First Time Ever – Kettlebell Exercises, Illustrated

Kettlebells are in our DNA. When FTI launched in 2009, we became the first to bring accredited kettlebell education to Australia. Now, we’re bringing you something new—kettlebell movement illustrations designed to help coaches refine technique and improve client results.

Part 1: Mastering Momentum
Momentum is what makes kettlebell training powerful. When used correctly, it transforms swings, snatches, and cleans into smooth, efficient, and explosive movements.

Stay tuned as we break down kettlebell training like never before.
