Manila Kettlebell Club was established in 2018 by Coach Patrick Aguila. It started with a small group back in 360 Manila, and then it slowly grew as the team participated in various local and international kettlebell competitions.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a few members continued with their training and participated in competitions through online video submissions. And in 2022, his two students flew to Singapore for their first on-site kettlebell sport competition, which led to the expansion of the Manila Kettlebell Club.
