Watch

One bell. Four weeks. One score.

How it runs

Set the score. Beat the score.

The EO3 Fit Test bookends the cycle, so the program proves itself in one number.

  1. 01

    Baseline Fit Test

    Take the EO3 Fit Test before week one. That score is your starting line.

  2. 02

    Four weeks, as written

    Strength, conditioning, and grit from a single bell: swings, presses, carries, ladders, and running chains.

  3. 03

    Re-test

    Week five is the same EO3 Fit Test again. Same bell, same you, new number.

  4. 04

    One score

    Your score tells you, in one number, how much fitter you got. Then chase it again.

The training week

A real week of OMOK

Five sessions a week from a single bell. This is an actual week from the app: Week 2.

  1. MonPing pong + carry
  2. TueBreathing ladder + accessory
  3. WedSwing / run chain x2
  4. ThuEMOM + engine
  5. FriStrict press + run
  6. SatRest day
  7. SunRest day

Sessions land daily in the app. Run them on the days that fit your week.

Why it works

A tight footprint. A big effect.

  • 01

    Never more than one bell

    The whole program needs a single kettlebell. No pairs, no rack of bells, no upgrades mid-program.

  • 02

    Strength and engine together

    EMOMs, breathing ladders, swing-run chains, and loaded carries hit strength, conditioning, and grit in one tight footprint.

  • 03

    Measured, not guessed

    The EO3 Fit Test bookends turn "I feel fitter" into a number that moved.
