Yes Darlings,

The testimonials are piling up for those who have reaped the benefits of kettlebells for a myriad of reasons.

Our own lovely Jen Cookson shares a bit of what is (or isn't) on her mind...

"Kettlebells is not only the BEST total body workout I've ever experienced, but it helps me to foster an almost meditative mind state. Because the Kettlebell movements require constant mental focus, my mind is blissfully devoid of the constant chatter to which it is accustomed. When I complete a Kettlebell class, my body is spent and is humming with satisfaction while my mind is quiet and rested.

ALSO it doesn't hurt that within 3 weeks of regularly attending Kettlebells I noticed more definition in my biceps, my thighs fit more comfortably into pants that were previously snug and I became aware of ALL of my stomach muscles for the first time in my life.

Inserting weekly (initially, and now bi-weekly) Kettlebells classes into my routine treadmill workouts has kicked my fitness up a level - without having to make a huge time commitment.

Plus I just bought my 1st pair of size 8 jeans ever!!"

Impact and results my darlings! How fabulous! Now, what's your story?

Lastly, the hour is almost upon us! Pool Party II (Wednesday's at 6:30pm from 3/3 - 4/28) is fast approaching!

If you desire the benefits of this amazing tool, but are a weensy bit concerned about it's inherent intensity or your level of conditioning - COME!! For the love of God, come! You will NOT regret it.

So be in touch with tales of triumph, the promise of attendence, or whatever else might need to be voiced.

All (heart and) ears.

Amy's Got Back! (and Pool Party II rally)

Hello Darlings,

Thought it might be good to hear about the kettlebell's virtues from someone besides myself...

"After a hip injury left me unable to play sports as I had been doing for the past 22 years, I began searching for a workout that gave me the same full-body satisfaction that sports provided. I wanted to have that feeling of leaving it all out on the court/field, like I could challenge myself and improve - and most importantly, I wanted to feel strong, capable, and balanced again.


I found kettlebells (and Michaela) a year ago and they have provided all of that and more. My body has changed - I am stronger, faster, harder - and my confidence level has gone up.

In recent weeks, I have been trying on gowns for my wedding this summer. It meant so much to me that I could look in the mirror and see the results of my hard work at kettlebell classes. My back looks great, my arms are toned - and I will walk down the aisle confidently, knowing that kettlebells has helped me achieve my physical goals. And it meant even more that I could share this happy news with Michaela, who has been incredibly supportive of this kettlebell pupil.

Thanks kettlebells. And, more importantly, thanks Michaela!

Pool Party II (ease your way into the way of the kettlebell)

Hello Luvs,
There has been talk, and now there's action. I'm getting a class together for individuals who want a gradual progression into the kettlebell workout pool, rather than being thrown in at the deep end.

This fun and systematic training will be beginning on Wednesday's at 6:30pm on 3/3 through 4/28.

Phew! That's a long time to ease into kettlebells! It is! Intentionally so. By having our class run so long, you are ensured to not only get the kettlebell in you but for you to get into kettlebells!

Price for this whale of a good time is $135 due at the onset of class.

So get in touch if you're interested and come!
Learn and perfect what you've been wanting to use to get you in fantastic shape!

Get strong! Get lean! Feel great in your body! Feel great about your body!

Do this all with one of the most intimidating workout tools in a completely un-intimidating way.
Hand holding and continual encouragement will be rampant.

You deserve what you want. Let's go get it.

Zoom, KaBOOM, and Eeek! (update for Sat)

What is all the commotion about My Lovelies?!?

Well, perhaps it's about how things are going down this week.

So, we all know how kettlebells use interval training to get you to be your most fabulous, most fit self, but we're going one step further.

I'm sure you've heard "Kettlebells will get you fit fast." leave my lips many a time, but did you know that kettlebells and specifically how you train w/ kettlebells can get you fast fast?!?

In the world of exercise if you want to get stronger you move heavier weight.
If you want to have more endurance you go for a longer duration.
And if you want to be faster and able to react more quickly and powerfully you cram more reps into a certain amount of time.

Ok, so obviously amazing for athletes and those who are involved in a sport. But what about the rest of us?

Well darlings, if a normal kettlebell workout averages about 900 calories burned think about the added deficit you'll be creating by working those bitty buns just a wee bit harder in the same amount of time as usual.

Kettlebells = Efficient. Always. This just happens to take it to a new level.

So come and develop increased speed and explosiveness through a slightly different focus. Waist whittling will just be an inadvertent by product ;).

Oh! And Eeek for real! Update!

This week Tuesday and Thursday are right on time at 6:30pm, however this Saturday the 13th will truly be for the (early) birds. 8:30am darlings! A thousand apologies. Please be in touch about it if it majorly disrupts your weekend.

To supporting you being Fast and Furious.

Think Pink!

Time to don those Rose Colored glasses Luvs!

Why?

Well, because it simply makes all things better to view them through "glass half full" eyes.

It is so flippin' easy to get down in the mouth about various aspects of ourselves and our lives. Not pleasurable, but certainly easy.

The amazing thing is it takes just a smidge more effort to wipe the smudges off those lenses, and behold a whole new world brimming with possibilities and potential.

We're in the month that celebrates love my darlings! Let that be the thing that reminds you you can turn your perceptions a rosier hue with the flick of your mind.

So come don your shade of choice, and join in the group of other 4 eyes on Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30pm and Saturday at 9:30am.

Strict spectral discrimination will be enforced.

xo, M
