This is awesome and I'm going to fwd this along to my friends. Just a quick question - this workshop is for total beginners? men or women? Also, will kettlebells be provided for the beginners? Or are we required to bring our own?

thanks!

Tina said...

Tracy,

How does someone get this information (# 1 and #6 on your list) if they do not live in California and won't be visiting anytime soon, but would love to learn

Thanks,
Tina

Mark Reifkind said...

Jo,

yes the workshop is PEFECT for total beginners, men or women.this is precisely who it is for.Kettlebells and foam rollers will be provided.

Mark Reifkind said...

tina,

this is Mark. we will be coming out with Tracy's dvd and book very soon covering her unique training style and methods for kettlebell swing training for fat loss and high level conditioning.Keep tuned!

Christine said...

Geez.... I need to move to the west coast! I love you guys' (that's the Jersey in me sorry) enthusiam and motivation...

Tina said...

Mark,

That's great news. Any idea when the dvd and book will be available?

Thanks,
Tina

Tracy Reifkind said...

Christine,

If you can't move, then visit often! Hey, why don't you assist at one of the CA certs? San Jose again next Feb. and I'm sure another LA cert next summer.

Tracy Reifkind said...

Tina,

One of the problems is, I have so many ideas, routines, combinations, etc. But I think I recently came up with a real winner!

In fact, I haven't been posting my exact swing workouts in a couple of weeks because I've been actually training this new routine myself, which will more than likely be the first DVD.

DVD's will be 'workout along with' type swing combinations , and the book will be an explaination of why and how I put together this progressive style of KB training, so you can too!

Jo said...

If anyone has tips on accommodation in that area, please let me know!! thanks!!!

Tina said...

Tracy,

I am really looking forward to both the dvd and the book. I am looking to make a transformation similar to yours and I'm really interested in your style of training.

Thanks,
Tina

Tori said...

I wish I could come!!! This sounds like it is going to be awesome. Maybe if you have another one I can make the trip out to CA!

Gabby Eborall said...

Hi Tracy and Mark
I wish that I could attend but unfortunately I can't swing it this time around ...pun intended!
I really do need the instruction and was thrilled to see you guy's holding a workshop. I'm so jealous of those that will be attending because I know how much knowledge and motivation can be tapped into when you have great teachers. And that is what you two no doubt will bring. I know I'll be at the next one. Until then,keep swinging...
Gabby

Tori,

We have many workshop ideas and hope to have more here at our own studio, Girya, in Palo Alto, as well as traveling to different locations around the country and abroad!

Tracy Reifkind said...

Gabby,

Anyone that lives within driving distance and has a interest in learning or getting better at KB's is stinkin' crazy for not attending this....bottom line!

Mark and my hourly rate is $125 & $75 per, so $245 for a whole afternoon and additional class the next day is a crazy good deal. How many times can you spend a day with two expert KB instuctors (expecially a Senior KB intructor) and get a kick ass day long workout for even twice that amount of money?

Hope to see you at a future workshop!

Tracy Reifkind said...

Regina,

Hey, if you were here we'd be hanging out together anyway, lol!

Tracy Reifkind said...
