| - A review for YELP GETS FIT * January 11, 2015
I can barely move. The tops of my forearms hurt. Is that even a thing? I've done a lot of workouts before and I swear the only time my forearms have hurt were the times when I was accidently scraped with a rapier during stage combat class. Oh wait. My forearms DID hurt during those classes. I think I blocked it out.
ANYWAY. There's the kind of pain that makes you cry and there's the pain that makes you smile. And this, my friendly Yelpers, is the latter. For the second time in as many months, I attended a workshop at this fine establishment. This time organized by Yelp's own Kerri M. I felt secure in knowing that I wasn't the only novice in the room. That being said, Renzo has one of the warmest (not literally - it was pretty chilly) environments of any fitness joint in the city. Yesterday's workshop was taught by Jarrett. Jarrett is one solid dude. Friendly and encouraging yet not patronizing - he really needs to visit the LA Fitnesses of the world and show'em how it's done. When he first explained the layout of the workshop I was a bit skeptical. We were to go through a brief warm-up, some mechanics of the kettle bells, then onto a 12 minute workout. "12 minutes?" I thought to myself; "What can I accomplish in 12 minutes?" Yeah - 12 minutes was totally enough. I broke a real sweat for the first time in a LONG time and loved every second of it. There's something soothing about swinging a kettle bell. I can't explain, I just ask that you consider trying it someday.
At the completion of our workout we were treated to some healthy fare courtesy of Jarrett's wife, Deena. She whipped up a selection of spinach smoothies, zoodles (zucchini noodles), kale salad and berried topped with fresh coconut cream. Every bite was delicious and I can't wait to try the recipes. During our post-workout nosh, Jarrett explained a bit more about the class offerings and I was hooked to the point of signing up for a 2-month Transformation Challenge before I left. My first class was at 6am today. While I can barely keep my eyes open right now and bending over at all is a supreme challenge, I couldn't be happier with my choice. Stout Training Pittsburgh hosts workshops on a fairly regular basis. I highly recommended trying it out some day. What have you got to lose...except maybe a few inches? Thanks Kerri M. for organizing such an awesome event!
