Outside Article

There was an article in Outside magazine (November Issue) about Gym Jones. My friends who started the “gym” are amazing people.  Many people come away from there inspired, isn’t that what its all about? It’s so hard to have an original thought or idea, the human race and language have been around for a damn long time, as has athletic training.  So it’s not that what any of us do is “new” (if someone tells you that they are living in a dream world) really these days it’s the packaging and how genuinely the information is delivered;  it’s about finding what speaks to you, inspires you and hopefully how you can then translate it into something that inspires others.

My client Michael read the article in the airport during a lay over, some where to and from Chiacgo.  He came to my studio the next morning and announced he wanted to do “Tail Pipe”; this workout was spoken about in the article, apparently he is a sadist but he was inspired! Here are the results of that workout.  My husband and friend Nick tag teamed it as well that day.  Notice the after pictures below. Nick knows better than to hold it together he has crumbled in front of me so many times he could care less any more, John on the other hand did a damn good job of faking it then went into the house; later he admitted that he had to sit on the couch and stare into space for at least 45 minutes till the nausea subsided and he was again capable of  functioning  on a productive level.  Long live high intensity training!
