I Love New York! NYC Clubbell® Workshop

Wow!  What a great weekend I just had.

Truth be told, I did not have much time to see the city itself.  But I had an outstanding time working with a gang of passionate individuals who came together to form a dynamic and exciting group.  I was hosted by Jeff Bell, owner of the exclusive Bond Street Fitness studio, to give a Circular Strength Training workshop centered around the use of our signature tool, the Clubbell®.

If you are in NYC, you owe yourself the opportunity to visit Jeff’s gym.  It’s the perfect playground for anyone interested in holistic and forward thinking training methods.  And with the addition of Clubbells and Jeff’s new interest in Circular Strength Training, I think another important piece has been added to the game.

I also want to take a second to praise my student Lauri Rudach (aka Clubbell Girl) who stuck her neck out to propose and organize this workshop.  She did a fabulous job pulling all the right people together to make this wonderful day happen.  And as a side note, she is kicking butt in her training and making great strides in her mastery of CST.  Watch out for big things from Clubbell Girl!

So many interesting backgrounds were brought to the table during this workshop, that I often found myself wishing that I had more time to chat with each person individually.  Everyone had interesting and valuable experience to share.  And that collective background made for some very exciting progress throughout the day.

When we arrived at day’s end for the final round-up, it was actually quite impressive to reflect on what this group had accomplished in one day of focused energy.  By having the right cues at the right time and applying their own movement backgrounds, these people accomplished as much CST progression in a single day as some people, working on their own, accomplish in the span of months.

I’d go back in a New York Minute to spend time with such a passionate bunch of people and do Circular Strength Training!  And to top it all off, the workshop fell on a beautiful, warm and sunny Fall day.  We split our day with a lovely lunch at a neighborhood sidewalk café where the Canadian Bumpkin got to people-watch as all the City Slickers went about their business in the big city!  ;-)

Thank you to all those who participated for giving me such a special weekend.

Cheers,
Adam
