IKU™ is an online platform where certified kettlebell trainers can sell their kettlebell workouts or classes. Our website is a social network for kettlebell enthusiasts which means it’s a marketplace for kettlebell instructors to sell their workouts and programs.
Creating good kettlebell workouts and programs is not easy, and there is only one thing harder, and that is reaching a worldwide audience to put your work in front of. It requires a lot of time and money to reach a targeted audience worldwide.
Social Network For Kettlebell Enthusiasts
Our website is like Facebook but for kettlebell enthusiasts, people interested in completing workouts, reviewing workouts, scoring workouts, rating workouts, keeping track of their progress, and so much more.
Sell Kettlebell Workouts Or Programs Online
As a certified kettlebell trainer, you can apply to sell your workouts and/or programs on our website. The workout details are always free for people, but what they pay for is access to your videos, those that explain the workout, cover common mistakes, talk about programming, and follow-along videos.
When your workout or program is listed on our website, it will be available as a one-off purchase or to watch for Gold Members. Each member pays a membership fee, for simplicity’s sake, let’s say that is $100 a month, out of that, we set aside 50%, let’s say that member watches more than 5 minutes of your video(s), then we pay out $50 to you.
As another example, if that same member watches over 5 minutes of video from 5 different authors for that month, the 50% will be divided by 5, which means that each author gets $10, If that member doesn’t watch any videos, the funds will not be accumulated.
One-off purchases are split 50/50 of the net income.

The cost for launching your first workout on our website is $100, and that’s a one-off fee. The following workout can be provided a month later and will be published for free.
Any following publication will require approval on a case-by-case basis and will be assessed based on popularity or other attributes.
We reserve the right to deny any content that we don’t see fit as suitable for our offerings. When it comes to our search for workouts, here’s how it works: we assign a value to the session of 1, and we lower that value if, after three months, there are no or not enough interactions by our members. Interactions are considered members buying the workout or viewing more than 5 minutes of video.
As we lower the value, the workout will go down in the search results, as it goes down in the search results, you may have even less interaction with your workout. We do not control any external traffic from search engines like Google, etc. It will help if you promote your session externally, especially if you find that your workout is going down in the search results on our website.
