Mark R.

Business Owner

Training, competing and an obsession with movement have been my passions and my life for the last 34 years.

Gymnastics taught me a love of pure movement and an appreciation for what the human body can do. As well as its frailties. It also taught me to look at movement with a discerning, disciplined eye.

Endurance training taught me to breathe and to keep going on, no matter what. Marathons, ultra marathons and triathlons were tests of the mind as well as the body and showed me the power of asceticism and how much the body can really do.

Strength training and powerlifting taught me focus and power and intent. The creation of force from a single thought and how to bring that force to bear in an instant.

And now back full circle with kettlebells, the simplest of all the disciplines but that which brings out the inner athlete in all of us.
