The IKU™ Inner Circle is a private group on Facebook that has been running for over 5 years and contains over 300+ workouts.

Membership FAQ
Why is commercial content not allowed?
We understand this may not be a favorable decision for everyone. With all the costs associated with running the platform and also running our own business that delivers products and services in the kettlebell atmosphere, it simply doesn’t make sense to allow non-paying users to increase their reach and branding on our dime.
Will I keep access to the content?
You get to keep anything you download and save on your computer. Streamable services and website access are discontinued after cancellation.
How does the coaching and feedback work?
