Kettlebells are the physical training tool of choice for Navy Seals, Delta Special Forces, US Secret Service, the NFL, and the NCAA. Learn the hottest functional training method in the fitness industry today from brother firefighters who are also RKC certified instructors. Hard style is not for everybody, but it is perfect for firefighters. Our goal is to share what we have learned and help you become stronger.

The life we save may be our own. Instructors are donating their time; all proceeds will be donated to charities that benefit firefighters or help kids stay fit.

Our first seminar held on February 7 and 8 in Bridgeport CT was a tremendous success. Check back for information about future training opportunities and competitions.

Are you making progress?


The majority of people who say that they workout are not making any progress.
Nothing is stagnant, if you are not making progress you are moving backwards.
Take a look around at any of The Globo Gym’s out there and you will see the same thing day in day out. There are 2 basic groups.
One group wants big arms and a big bench, they work chest and arms every Monday no matter what. All the while their bench has not increased in a year plus they have shoulder and elbow pain with the mobility of a log.
I would not call that progress.
They are blindly following a program that worked for someone somewhere under certain circumstances, or the new greatest workout from Pump Up magazine.
On the other end of the spectrum the other group jumps on the treadmill, watches TV, reads a magazine, all while talking on the phone and then they wonder why they are not making any progress.
Most of them have knee and hip pain as well as extreme neck and shoulder tension, but continue to do the same thing day after day until they get injured or bored and frustrated because they are not getting any results.
If you are training consistently you should feel better not worse.
You must have a clearly defined goal to work toward.
If you don’t know where you want to go, you can’t plan how to get there.

I want to lose weight.(Poor Goal)
I want to lose 10lbs this month.(Good Goal)
I want to lose 10lbs this month and add 20lbs to my squat.(Better Goal)
The body is made to adapt. If you do not step out of your comfort zone you will not make progress.

The S.A.I.D. principle:
Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand
The body Always adapts to Exactly what it does.
If you sit on the couch and watch TV you will get very efficient at sitting and watching TV.
Choose what you want to be efficient at!
If your goal is to be the best at watching TV and texting while walking on the treadmill, you better get training. The Globo Gym’s all over the world are full of people training for the title.
If you are not happy with your results do not expect results to miraculously happen.
MAKE A CHANGE!
DO NOT FOLLOW THE MASSES!
DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR BODY!

BETTER MOVEMENT IS ALWAYS THE GOAL!
