Core Essentials will be heading to Sydney, NS to run a Kettlebell Workshop.

Date: June 26 from 9-5 p.m. [Advanced registration is required].

Time: 9-5 p.m.

Location: Platinum Fitness, Sydney NS

This 8 hour course is for fitness professionals and/or those that are interested in taking their training to the next level. CEC’s will be provided for fitness professionals.

Kettlebell training is becoming so popular and is such a great tool for training. Workouts can be quick and efficient and you don't need a lot of space to train. Not everyone has the time to join a weekely class but would still like to train. The clinic is a great way to learn skills and build a foundation  for training on your own or to get a jumpstart on an upcoming bootcamp or Power half hour class. 

Shawn Mozen of Agatsu is back in town this weekend offering another kettlebell instructor certification.

I am really excited to be able to go out tomorrow and watch the certification. I am looking forward to being able to observe an actually take things in, now that I have been training & teaching with kettlebells.

I always look forward to the opportunity to continue learning and growing as an instructor.
Plus there'll be no Chrissy workout for me this weekend!!

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day in the city. I started the day with a great kettlebell training session. The Dartmouth Booty Boot campers did an awesome job this afternoon striding through the park at Alderney Landing- we even had a newcomer, I hope she enjoyed it.

The babies enjoyed the beautiful day out on the lawn at Point Pleasant Park for the Stroller Gang. One Mommy told me that all the lungeing and squats were making her faster for soccer games- love to hear it!

Had a great cardio circuit at the Garrison Grounds this afternoon.

Meet my trainer. Craig motivates and pushes me to perform at higher levels. I have an absolute blast training with Craig. I meet with Craig a couple times a week.  I met Craig at the Agatsu Kettlebell Certification in Halifax.

Coach Craig

Check out our new classes & workshops for summer...

See what's new.

Tonight was drizzly and down pour but it did not stop the boot campers. After on week of camp we are seeing great improvements in strength and stamina.

It's always great to go back to an earlier exercise that may have posed a challenge and see how you do this time around. Boot Camper J found one particular exercise very challenging on day one, she not only blasted through tonight but surprised herself with her stamina. She was so proud of herself- Way to go J!!!

Great ork everyone. Into week 3 we go... 

Just received my level1 Agatsu Kettlebell Instructor Certification. The most respected and sought after degree in Canada.

I have to say it was an amazing weekend. It really made me push myself in ways I haven't done in some time. I feel amazing, sore but amazing. I met some great people and am looking forward to staying in touch with them.

After 16 hours of training, the Chrissy workout and the final exam workout, I am so proud to have earned this designation.

It's just a few days from a big race and I'm already
anxious. What am I afraid of? Running a bad time? Totally
bonking? Looking stupid in front of my friends and
patients? Drowning in the open water swim? Getting a flat
tire? Perishing on the street? Where does all this
performance anxiety come from? After 30 years of
competitive running you would think I would have conquered
race day jitters, but they are always there...kind of like
an old friend...or a fungus.
