American Kettlebell Alliance: Founded in January 2012, the American Kettlebell Alliance promotes the growth of kettlebell lifting in the country. Top AKA lifters also qualify to become members of Team USA. Since first competing in the world championships in 2013, Team USA has become the fifth-ranked kettlebell sport team in the world.

International Sport and Fitness Trainers Association: With kettlebells becoming a popular exercise tool, the International Sport and Fitness Trainers Association recognized the need for highly skilled kettlebell instructors. That’s why it rolled out the ISFTA Kettlebell Training Certification, which combines lectures with practical application, demonstration, and hands-on participation.
