About Swyng

Thirty minutes. One kettlebell. Anywhere.

Swyng builds you a complete workout — warmup, work, and finisher — in about 30 minutes. Home gym, garage, or a hotel room with a single bell: press start and train. No planning, no commute, no wasted time.

Why the kettlebell

One tool, endless training. It's inexpensive, nearly indestructible, and already waiting in most home and hotel gyms. It builds strength, power, and conditioning at once — and it goes wherever you do. We built everything around the most versatile piece of equipment there is.

How it works

Every workout is generated fresh and balanced — always the right blend of strength and conditioning. Set your difficulty (Beginner to Expert) and your focus (full body, upper, or lower, with an optional core finisher); we handle the programming. Video demos and recommended loads for every movement mean you always know exactly what to do — and how heavy to go.

Built with real coaches

Our training is shaped with coaches who live it — including a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist. The result is training that's effective and sustainable: build real strength without breaking down.

Our story

Swyng was born on the road. Between work trips and vacations, one thing kept turning up in nearly every hotel gym: a rack of kettlebells. The second idea was just as simple — people train harder when they have a plan to follow, the way a good class hands you the program and all you have to do is show up. Swyng brings those two together: trainer-like programming that travels anywhere, so you can get a real workout with the least equipment possible — at a work conference, on a family beach trip, in the first months with a newborn, or in a home gym that needs something new.

The name

The kettlebell swing is the sport's signature movement — so we took "swing" and, like every startup company, swapped the i for a y and made it ours. The goal from day one: make Swyng a verb.

Strong shouldn't require a gym, a spare hour, or a plan. Just you and a bell. So — did you Swyng today?

Matthew McLaughlin

Founder

Hi, I'm Matthew. I work in finance, and I travel often — for work and for life. Fitness has been a constant through all of it: over 1,000 trainer-led classes across Orangetheory, F45, CorePower, and The Yard Gym. What I value about that kind of training is simple. The workout is built by someone who knows what they're doing, the pace is set for me, and my only job is to show up and put in the effort.

The hard part was always travel. Hotel gyms rarely have the right equipment, and after a long day on the road, planning your own workout is the first thing to go. I wanted something quick and simple to start, but still challenging and complete — the kind of session I'd get from a coach at home, available anywhere.

That's why I built Swyng. Tell it what you want to train, and it generates a balanced, trainer-built 30-minute kettlebell workout on the spot — full-screen video guides every movement, and the timers run the entire session so you can just follow along. Thirty minutes is enough time for a real workout, and short enough to fit any day. One kettlebell is all you need: a hotel room, a garage, or a backyard works fine.

In some ways, Swyng is my way of keeping my coaches, Fran and Tyler, telling me what to do from hundreds of miles away. I hope it does the same for you, wherever you are.

Tyler Kallasy

Co-founder & Lead Trainer

Hi, I'm Tyler! I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and the founder of Beyond Pain. My work centers on helping people move better, feel stronger, and train with confidence — even when pain, injury, or setbacks have made that feel out of reach.

I started in the traditional healthcare system, but its limits were clear fast: everything felt rushed and rigid, with rarely enough time to understand the full story behind someone's pain. That pushed me to build something better. My approach is shaped by years across inpatient rehab, outpatient ortho, sports medicine, and home health — seeing how differently people move, heal, and adapt taught me to treat each person as an individual. No two people recover the same way, and no plan should be copy-paste.

Fitness has always been central to my life — CrossFit, powerlifting, road marathons, even an ultramarathon. I know what it feels like to chase performance goals and train through the ups and downs, and that lived experience helps me connect with the people I work with.

Since starting online coaching in 2018, I've helped hundreds of people move past pain, rebuild trust in their bodies, and get back to training hard — blending evidence-based clinical strategies with strength and conditioning for long-term progress, not short-term fixes. Education is one of my biggest passions: I teach for the Pain-Free Performance Specialist Certification (PPSC) and am writing a book for active adults and athletes stuck in the cycle of pain and setbacks.

In 2023 I opened a private physical therapy practice in Arvada, Colorado. I live in Denver with my fiancée Courtney, a canine physical therapist, and our dogs Cascade and Porter — where we spend as much time in the mountains as we can.

Happy you're here.

Fran Sullivan

Fran Sullivan

Coach

Fran has been a trainer at The Yard Gym for the past five years, where she specializes in strength training, conditioning, and silently judging your squat depth from across the room.

She earned her degree in Exercise Science from the University of Kentucky, where she also spent three seasons serving as the beloved Wildcats mascot, Scratch. To this day, she credits the role with teaching her the fundamentals of athletic performance, leadership, and maintaining composure while wearing an oversized cat head in front of 20,000 people.

Since joining The Yard, Fran has built a reputation for challenging workouts, questionable rep counting, and saying "last one" when there are very clearly six more. Her coaching philosophy is simple: lift heavy, move well, and understand that Fran noticed that half-rep even if she was helping someone on the other side of the gym.

When she's not coaching, Fran enjoys running marathons and spending her weekends trail running through the Colorado mountains—because apparently running 26.2 miles on pavement wasn't unnecessarily difficult enough. She claims trail running is "relaxing," which tells you pretty much everything you need to know about her.

Her clients describe her as "motivating," "knowledgeable," and "someone I actively avoid making eye contact with when I know my form is bad."
