If you are a CrossFitter…you know the vibes of a CF gym are awesome.Intense workouts, fun exercises, learning new skills and just really challenging yourself on a daily basis. So many amazing things that you absolutely love, enjoy and keep you coming back. But… A lot of problems come with it as well… The intense workouts every day add up after a while. The super heavy lifts don't feel as good as you’ve gotten older (maybe even got hurt & had to stop). Perhaps life is a little busier now so you can’t really get to “the box”. Moral of the story… you like to get after it and workout the CrossFit way… But working out the CrossFit way doesn’t like you too much. Same. That is part of how Project Bellplex was born. I love an intense workout just as much as the next guy. But banging out 100 wallballs with 75 snatches one day… To then do 80 box jumps & heavy clean & jerks the next was getting to be too much. Brain loves it. Body hates it. Kettlebells have allowed me to still keep the intensity in my workouts without putting so much tension on my body. I can still get after it and challenge myself… But now a “heavy” snatch is a 106lb bell instead of 225. Still makes me work very hard to get it overhead...but less weight on the body = better recovery. This is why Bellplex works so well and why so many former CrossFitters love it. Workouts that push you and challenge you in the way you crave and have grown to love. But structured in a way that doesn’t beat you down into the ground and leave you broken. We even have your recovery and mobility covered for you 🙂 All you have to do is show up ready to work hard. And you can try it for free for 7 days 👇🏻

Where kettlebells, real life and honest fitness advice collide. Written by a soon-to-be dad who trains in his garage and has way too many thoughts. Join 32,000+ readers today!
Letters From The Garage The other day someone asked me what my biggest worry is about becoming a dad. And as someone who is about to have a son... This was an easy one. See... I actually wanted a girl first, if I'm being honest. Being a girl dad sounds awesome. And while nothing seems scarier than a teenage daughter as a dad... It didn't worry me as much as having a son. Because I believe there is way more pressure as a dad when having a son. I like to think I'm a good man. I'm hardworking,...
The other day I was looking in the mirror and saw my first really prominent gray hairs. (I'll be 33 soon for reference) Honestly I was almost excited and thought it was funny. I don't think aging aesthetically is that big of a deal. Gray hairs & some extra wrinkles... Would I rather they not happen? Sure. But I'm not afraid of them and I don't think I'll be the guy trying to hold on to my youth with remedies like dying my hair or hair transplants etc. Aging aesthetically is not something I'm...
I’ve taught well over 10,000 group fitness classes in my career. So according to some law of mastery…that would make me a...master? Now I fancy myself a humble man… but if there is one thing I know I’ve gotten real damn good at over the years… It is teaching group fitness. And not just hype man spin classes type of group fitness where all the instructor does is cheerlead & yell… But actual group coaching. Where you are teaching people how to do exercises, coaching them through progressions,...
