Clients Getting Crazy Strong, Group Synergy, and WODs

The most rewarding part of training is watching clients attain their fitness goals and become better athletes.  When this occurs, it creates a sense of validation as a trainer that your programming is working.  At Rogue Kettlebell, we are constantly pushing our limits and measuring our successes--and everybody has DIFFERENT goals.


That is also one of the key tenants to being a successful trainer: Knowing your clients' abilities.  I have several tight-knit groups that have trained together for awhile now--some for several years--and it is great to see their gains, as well as the camaraderie that is forged.  When the group works as a team and you hear them cheering for one another,  it is a great feeling.  The egos are truly checked at the door, unlike the attitudes at some gyms.


Check out the Rogue Crew crushing 5-3-1 double-bell hell ladders: clean and press, pullups, and front squats. And yes girls can press 20Ks! Check out the solid technique and learn how to use KBs to get crazy strong!  Also check out some of the boys hitting their PRs on the deadlifting.  Good programming works if you work it!  And it is great to be part of a team that cheers you on.  Watch the synergy below and the group dynamic.  YES...Fitness can be intense, fun, and forged through friendship!
