Hi, my name’s Estella Hom. I’m a graphic designer, athlete, and kettlebell fitness instructor. Design and fitness are my two passions. After 4 years of crunching designs in front of a computer, all nighters, and very poor eating habits, I earned my Bachelor of Design Degree from York University/Sheridan College and was fat. Unhappy with my physical state, I knew some major changes needed to be made. My life changed when I began working out, training with kettlebells and embracing a healthier lifestyle. The fat literally melted off my body and I underwent a complete transformation, losing a total of 45lbs, 21″ off my body, and going down 7 dress sizes! What an incredible feeling! I have been really lucky to have worked with so many incredible people who’ve helped me along the way. Since then I have been a boot camp instructor for both the Sgt Shanahan Boot Camp and Funk Roberts Fitness Boot Camp, participated in several kettlebell training workshops around the world to train with the likes of Steve Cotter, Mike Mahler, Ken Blackburn, and Jason Dolby, was featured on the KettleWorx infomercial, broke my collarbone, had surgery, came back stronger than ever, won a gold medal at the Arnold Sports Festival Kettlebell Championships in March 2010 for 12kg Long Cycle in the 68kg weight class, and just recently won a gold medal and best female lifter award for 16kg Long Cycle at the Agatsu Kettlebell Competition in Toronto. I lead a much more athletic and balanced lifestyle, work as a freelance designer, and fit in short intense workouts whenever and wherever I can.

Here, I will share some of my personal training experiences along with some tips and secrets to winning the war against body fat, getting more out of your busy life, and achieving your personal best.

The journey is a constant pursuit.
Failure is not an option. Do what you got to do.
Always strive for excellence and never settle for anything but the best.

Do that, and you will be unstoppable!
