In our on-going commitment to continuing education, we attended the "Secrets of Strength Development" workshop in Wycoff, NJ this weekend. The event was hosted by none other than world famous strength coaches Joe DeFranco & Zach Even-Esh. We had a great time and picked up alot of new techniques to bring back to our clients. We plan to continue our training with both Joe and Zach in 2009. This workshop was an excellent practical learning opportunity, as it reinforced several of the Russian training methods that we have been studying and self-implementing. Now, we can share the pain with all of you :-)

Small Group Boot Camp Classes
J&N Personal Training and Austin Underground Fitness are pleased to offer small group bootcamp classes. Our bootcamp classes are interval based, circuit classes and incorporate strength training, conditioning, flexibility, cardiovascular, and athletic performance techniques. We use a variety of training tools in our bootcamp classes, including kettlebells, heavy bags, dumbells, jump ropes, sandbags, medicine balls, free weights, and much more.
We primarily hold our small group bootcamp classes at Canyon Vista Middle School in Northwest Austin. If you are interested in getting into shape or taking your athletic performance to a higher level, we invite you to participate in our community group fitness programs. This is a fun way to make new friends and work toward a healthier, happier you!
Each bootcamp class is 45-60 minutes in duration. Please bring a water bottle and towel to each class. You may also want to bring a pair of weight training gloves or chalk.
Bootcamp classes are being formed on an on-demand basis. We will not offer bootcamp package package discounts/punch cards until we have our class schedule defined. Until then, all classes will be offered at $15/class.

Today's Conditioning workout
We decided to host a free bootcamp session this morning. We didn't advertise it well; it was just a last minute idea. Jay invited some of his co-workers, but they didn't show up. So, it wound up being Jay, me, and my best friend. We had a BLAST!! Worked out for about 2 hours and FINALLY used the PROWLER!!!
Here are a couple of pictures and video of us getting the job D-O-N-E!! We met some people at the end of the session who wanted to use the prowler. WE invited them out to the next workout.
