Rockin' Workout this Morning sticky icon

Kettlebells grouped

Wow, what a great Saturday morning kettlebell drop-in! I decided to take Craig's drop in class as I was in between clients.

We had an awesome turnout for the first session! Guys and girls were sweating and working super hard- it was an 800 calorie class this morning (with all the quads we did, it might have inched us closer to 1,000!)

Quite a few new faces in the class, new to kettlebell that is, but of course some of our die-hard clients were there too.
