Clubbell Strength Training: Ancient Power Meets Modern Fitness

How I Discovered Clubbells

I was new to exercising with clubbells when lockdown hit. Stuck at home, I bought a pair for my gym setup and started experimenting with different workouts. What began as a curiosity soon became a passion—after training with them for over two years, I’ve even designed a clubbell programme for my golfing clients. The results? Less shoulder pain, stronger cores, and a real boost to their game.

Unlike conventional weightlifting—where progress means lifting heavier—the clubbell is swung, not lifted. Swinging creates torque, and torque increases force production. That means clubbells build elasticity in soft tissue rather than breaking it down like the repetitive, one-dimensional movements of traditional weightlifting.

Unlike conventional weightlifting, where you must increase the weight lifted, the clubbell is actually swung. Swinging weight increases torque, and increasing torque increases force production. This boosts soft tissue elasticity rather than traumatising it like the one and two-dimensional movements in conventional weightlifting.

What Are Clubbells?

If you’ve never heard of clubbells, you’re not alone. Their origins can be traced back to strongman traditions in Ancient Persia. Back then, wrestlers and fighters known as Pahlavans trained with heavy clubs to build strength, mobility, and fighting power. Similar tools, called Indian Clubs, made their way to Britain and then to the USA in the 19th century.

Today, clubbells have made a comeback—especially in sports performance training. Swinging lighter weights trains the body to move faster and with more control. That’s why they’re particularly effective for golfers, tennis players, MMA fighters, and anyone who wants rotational strength.

Best of all, they’re versatile. You can use them at home, at the gym, or even outdoors. They’re lighter than kettlebells but more dynamic and fun—making them a great addition to any fitness routine.

The Top Benefits of Clubbell Training

Clubbells aren’t just another trendy piece of kit. They offer benefits that other tools can’t match, including:

  • Grip strength and endurance

  • Shoulder mobility, stability, and strength

  • Joint and connective tissue health

  • Improved rotational force (great for golf, tennis, and martial arts)

  • Multi-planar movement training (sagittal, frontal, transverse)

  • Core stability and whole-body integration

  • Deceleration training (learning to absorb force safely)

  • Kinesthetic awareness (moving better, not just stronger)

What Muscles Do Clubbells Work?

Heavy club exercises challenge the fingers, hands, forearms, and shoulders to maintain proper positioning. This builds tremendous grip endurance and dexterity. Beyond that, clubbells strengthen the arms, back, and core, while also enhancing balance and coordination.

Most shoulder training is limited to presses or lateral raises, but clubbells hit the shoulders in completely unique ways thanks to their long lever and unbalanced weight. This engages stabilising muscles that conventional lifts often miss.

Who Can Use Them?

The beauty of clubbells is that anyone can use them. They’re especially beneficial for:

  • Athletes with shoulder weakness or past injuries

  • Golfers wanting more power and mobility

  • MMA fighters who need rotational strength and endurance

  • Everyday people who want a fun, full-body home workout

Clubbells are portable, versatile, and don’t take up much space—perfect for home gyms or outdoor workouts.


A Word of Caution

Don’t overpay for cheap knockoffs. Indian clubs and clubbells vary widely in quality, so it’s worth investing in a proper set that’s designed for training.
