Brandon Adams - firefighter
What I liked (or did not like) about the program: It was great! I liked that all the instructors were high energy and very knowledgeable. The way that they broke all the different movements downs so we could learn them was very helpful. The facility was different, but good to know that you can do the workouts anywhere. The food was good.
How could we improve this program? The best thing for this program would be to continue to introduce it to new brothers and continuing the education of the bell and it’s benefits.
Will this help you on the job? Yes, The workouts make everything else I have done seem pointless, can’t wait to see where it takes me.
Would you like additional programs? If so what kind: Yes. It would be nice to see as we progress through the workouts what we could do add and or what needs to be corrected.
For the instructors as a group it was nice to see that they all seem to bring something different to the program and made the program seem multidimensional.
John Gomola – college student, firefighter’s son
What I liked (or did not like) about the program: It was great! It was an awesome new system. I doubted it at first, but once I saw the instructors and literally felt the work out, it was great. The yoga/breathing was awesome and the core work was awesome. My lower body was killed, but I didn’t get too much work on my upper.
Facility: I don’t like cats, but it was awesome – thank you. The food was amazing.
How could we improve this program? I was sore after the movements, but I didn’t know what I was working. I wanted to know how to work on my upper body more.
Will this help you on the job? Yes, and in every day life.
Would you like additional programs? If so what kind: Yes, a more advanced session for kettlebell training. Great Job! I would like to email somebody about upper body focus.
Instructors – Zar Horton – Explained everything really well, made all the guys feel like we were part of something. Charles Bustos was a beast and brought a lot of mistakes to my attention. John Slattery – very good instructions very attentive to details and works more closely and brought people away to help them focus. Tom Sher – awesome breathing exercises.
