"We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing."

Coach Jerry wondered if he's still got his box jump....as a middle-aged grandfather of three, he wasn't so sure. "Middle-aged" doesn't mean you need to slow down; if anything, it means you keep going - which is exactly what he does, every day. As you can see from the video, so long as he keeps up his commitment to healthy movement, he'll keep playing for a long time. 💪

How do you prefer your workout: regular or extra heavy? 🍔

Frustrated with cookie-cutter training? There's a reason why: those programs don't work. Coach Jerry explains what to look for in a workout that's built for you.

We had a couple of deadlift PRs to celebrate this last week: Doug with 385 lbs and Kiernan with nearly 200 lbs! 💪👏

Another Friday, another round of benches and deadlifts in Heavy Metal class. 💪🏋️‍♂️

Another one of your questions answered this week with Coach Jerry! He delves into a common mistake he sees in the kettlebell swing and how to correct it. He *might* also get into some crazy swings of his own...👀

Heavy weights: if you wanna lift 'em, you've gotta be able to hold on to 'em = grip strength. Last week the instructors went through a few rounds of grip work and definitely felt the burn!
