For the man who's fine on the outside and wired on the inside.

Kettlebell training and breathwork that bring you back down — built for men who are done running on stress. In person in Glasgow. Online anywhere.

You know the feeling.

  • Snapping at people you love over nothing — then hating it five minutes later.
  • Lying awake at 1am replaying a conversation from three years ago.
  • Sitting in meetings, nodding, not hearing a word.
  • Training hard, or not at all — nothing in between.
  • Everyone thinks you're fine. You've almost got yourself convinced too.

None of that means something's wrong with you. It means your system has been stuck in high gear for so long you've forgotten what neutral feels like.

Elvis Zaharovs — founder of Bell & Breath

I'm Elvis. I coached myself out of this first.

For years I looked sorted from the outside and ran on static underneath. I numbed it the way most men do — until I stopped. Over 800 days alcohol-free now. Along the way I cycled 215km through the Welsh mountains, did 30 Murph workouts in 30 days, and trained as a breathwork facilitator and kettlebell coach — not to collect certificates, but because I needed tools that actually worked when my head didn't.

Bell & Breath is those tools, put in order: strength work that demands presence, and breath training that rebuilds your ability to come down on command.

This is for you if

  • You're 30–45, holding a lot, and tired of white-knuckling it
  • You want calm you can reach on a Tuesday lunchtime, not only on a retreat
  • You'd rather train with weight in your hands than sit on a cushion
  • You want a measurable way to know it's working

This isn't for you if

  • You want a quick hack instead of a practice
  • You're not willing to give it 15 minutes a day
  • You want someone to promise a shortcut — this work starts in the body and earns its results

How it works.

01

Breathe

Assess your baseline with a BOLT score. Train your breath daily. Numbers, not vibes.

02

Move

Single kettlebell, simple strength. Sessions bookended by breath — down-regulated in, down-regulated out.

03

Repeat

Daily structure in the app: Rise, Move, Rest. Small, done consistently, changes how you feel by default.

It starts with physiology — measurable, trainable, no faith required. But stay with the breath long enough and it opens into something more: emotional clarity, a sharper mind, a different relationship with yourself. That part's yours to discover.
