2015

By Fitness, News & Events, Pacific Strength No Comments

What a year it has been, both personally and professionally. So much has happened! At the gym, we hosted two really successful Tactical Strength Challenges. I was so proud of everyone who trained, trusted the process, competed, pr’d, & had fun along the way! The group in April got everyone warmed up to the process. And the October group really got people excited for TSC’s to come! The summer was simultaneously the longest and shortest summer of my life after having Laine in April… Many of you parents can relate to this… I’m so incredibly thankful I was able to spend that time with my…

A Merry Merry Christmas

By News & Events, Pacific Strength No Comments

We have such an amazing group of people here at North Beach Kettlebell. We found out about this family in need one week ago and put an email out to our crew. In less than one week, you all brought in over $1000 in gifts for this local family who really needed help this holiday season. They wanted grocery store gift cards and basic toiletries and a couple of things for their girls. You went all out and after all of the presents were wrapped, I snagged a picture so you could all see what we can do when we…

MOVEmber

By Fitness, News & Events, Pacific Strength No Comments

We’re making this November challenge and annual thing. As we approach the holiday season, we want everyone at NBKB to make an effort to MOVE MORE! Last year, we did 100 swings/day for every day in November. And we gave money to the Boys & Girls Club of San Clemente – people who help kids MOVE MORE. This year, the charity is the same, but we want you all to choose your own goal. Your goal: Must be something you can do every day. Ex: “do 30min of activity every day” Ex: “40 pushups on even days & 100 bodyweight squats…

Be Nice

By News & Events, Pacific Strength No Comments

This is not about your attitude toward each other. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the North Beach Kettlebell Community has some of the kindest, most generous, most beautiful souls you will ever meet. I adore each and every one of you. And you’re all very nice. To each other. You cheer each other on during training sessions. You get excited for your friend’s first pull-up or when they move up to a heavier swing weight. You encourage each other like crazy and we all love it. But do you know who you’re not always nice to? Yourselves….

Why Train for the TSC?

By Fitness, News & Events, Pacific Strength, Strength No Comments

By now, we know that the Tactical Strength Challenge is: Max Deadlift Max Number of Pullups OR Max Time for Flexed Arm Hang Max Number of Snatches for 5-minutes What makes the TSC special? Strong people will naturally do well in the deadlift, but they may not do well in the pull-ups. People with bodyweight strength will naturally do well in the pull-ups and flexed arm hang, not necessarily in the deadlift. The snatch is like a mile sprint – it’s tough for everybody! To do well in all 3, you have to be strong for one rep (deadlift), strong for…
