Redefining the fitness world with functional conditioning

Remember when we were young and exercise meant running, jumping, climbing, crawling, wrestling, and playing at the playground? When we used to play sports with our friends at a local field and it wasn't organized? We used to ride our bikes or walk everywhere instead of getting a ride? We used to be in great shape! At some point a lot of us lost that. And when we decided to get back in shape somebody told us we needed to go to a big impersonal gym full of mirrors, juiced-up bodybuilders, and shiny machines. In these gyms, exercise means jumping on a treadmill, elliptical machine or stationary bike while watching TV or reading a book. Or doing sets on weight machines performing isolation exercises on our biceps, triceps, pecs and calves. This is not the type of exercise the human body wants. It's not useful, functional, or even remotely fun.

My goal is to put the fun and function back into getting and staying fit. Using whole body, natural exercise I train the body in the way it was meant to be used. I train with full body movements using bodyweight resistance, kettlebells (the best full body exercise tool ever invented!), medicine balls, resistance bands, power wheels (best core workout, period), climbing ropes, tractor tires, and the list goes on.. The workouts are fun and challenging and I can honestly say I am in the best shape I have ever been in.
