CrossFit Koncepts will be having a free Intro to CrossFit Workout

about CrossFit, Russian Kettlebells and how our dynamic training environment
and methodology will get you into the best shape of your life - GUARANTEED.
We'll take you through a brief warm-up followed by a quick introduction to the
skills you will need for the workout. Once that is out of the way you'll
get your first taste of what a CrossFit / Kettlebell workout is like. By
the time you're done you'll know why CrossFit Koncepts is the only choice for
you!
If you're curious about what a CrossFit / Kettlebell workout
is like then this is your chance to find out - for free! If you're
working with a trainer, or have been working out on your own and are not
getting the results you're looking for then PLEASE attend this free workout so
that we can show you what we have to offer. It's only one hour out of
your day - but we are confident that it CAN and WILL change how you workout
forever!
FYI: We will be releasing dates for upcoming Russian Kettlebell and Martial
Arts workshops shortly. We have several training events scheduled in MD,
DC, VA, PA and CA in the coming months and I look forward to seeing you at one
or several of them!

This workshop is going to arm you with all

squat and military press as well as some
variations. We are even going to go through

We started off 2009 with a workout at our new location! Twelve
brave souls ventured out on New Years morning to bring in the new year
in style - with a CrossFit Koncepts workout!
For those of you who aren't on our mailing list (and missed the notices regarding our move) we are now located at 8576 Dakota Drive in Gaithersburg, MD 20877. It's only a "stones throw" from our old location but the move has given us a lot more space and has allowed us to offer more classes and more special events.
Following is our new schedule:
CrossFit Koncepts Group Workouts
NOTE: we are running a new member special for the month of January. For more information contact Mike Krivka at 301/404-2571 for all the details and to sign up for a free introductory workout.
The following article (and accompanying video) talks about kettlebells, their popularity with women and their rise to near dominance in the fitness market (second only to Pilates). Read the whole story hear.
It seems like every major mens (and women's) magazine has done a feature story on Kettlebells in 2008 and Outside magazine is not to be outdone. Instead of just putting together a rehash of the history of Kettlebells and a description of the Swing they've posted a couple videos online that show the basic skills done by a fellow-RKC named Keira Newton from Dynamic Kettlebell Fitness in Santa Fe, NM.
Take a look and see what you think of the two videos!
The following article from The Sun newspaper details the trials and tribulations of a couple of ambulance technicians (and several cops) that have to control an 80+ year old man who practices daily with two 80 pound Kettlebells. It takes three men to control him and he doesn't even break a sweat... it gives me something to look forward to! :)
