Archive for the ‘Houston Underground Strength Gym’ Category

Folks always ask what we do in our fitness bootcamp and what makes us different than the gazillion bootcamps in Houston (especially in our park location).

Trust me, it’s not just about the workouts (because, we don’t workout…we play).

It’s not just about the tools we use (it seems like everyone is trying to go “underground” with their training methods & use tires, sandbags, kettlebells, etc).

Heck, it’s not about offering a bootcamp, in order to get you out of the gym. (Again, it seems everyone & their mom offers a bootcamp, these days.)

So what makes us different?

This is a place for folks to stop wishing, complaining, hoping, and wanting their hands held.

This is a “Punk-Free” zone. If you are a true “go-getter,” this is the place for you.

If you want to reenact a scene from a weight loss reality TV show, and cry about what you “CAN’T” do & how hard things are…this is not the place for you.

If you are fed up with your quality of life not meeting your expectations, and are committed to doing something about it “RIGHT NOW!” then this is the place for you.

If you have a warrior inside of you, ready to get out and take charge in the world, and surround yourself with fellow Warriors & Warriorettes, who share your inner fire, then this is the place for you.

If you’re more concerned with “how much is it” versus “how committed am I,” then keep it moving. This is not the place for you.

The members of my JoshOne FitCamp & New Warrior Kettlebell Training Classes play hard, have fun, are not afraid to sweat, despise whiners, cheer on winners, ignore quitters, continuously meet & set new goals, and most importantly, get the results they seek!

If you are ready to make it happen, RIGHT NOW, stop “thinking about it,” and make the first move, by logging on to http://joshonefitcamp.com.

“If you want your life to be different, you have to start doing things “DIFFERENTLY!

Here’s a clip of my fitcamp warriors & warriorettes playing a little game we call the “Tire Battle Relay.”

Be sure to check out the dogfight between Leo & yours truly at the end.

This is how we have fun, while getting stronger, leaner, and more, each day. As you can see, big toys aren’t just for the boys, ladies.

I think a lot of folks underestimate the power of having a strong, crushing grip. Most importantly, having a strong grip can pay big dividends with lifting more weight, or carrying more odd everyday objects. Heck, I realized the benefits of having a strong sturdy grip just the other day, at the airport.

By having a strong grip, I observed how much easier it was to carry my baggage in both hands, while walking “extensively” through a few big airports in one day. (Houston-Bush/ Hartsfield in Atlanta, and Newark).(Let’s not even talk about how what should have been a 3 hour flight, turned into a 12 hour expedition…yet I digress).

By the way ladies, don’t think having a strong grip is just a guy thing. In fact, think about how much easier it would be to pick up your little ones, the groceries, and by all means, if you’re anything like my wife and carry your “life” in your purse, you have to have a strong grip. I love you, honey ;-D

Developing a powerful grip can also transfer into more sports specific activities, such as baseball, basketball, football, and MMA (just imagine what a crushing grip can do for your clinch game in Muay Thai or Brazilian Jui-Jitsu?).

I will demonstrate how to get a more power grip in upcoming videos. For now, enjoy watching my fellow Underground Strength Coaches Rick Daman, Belton Lubas, and myself try to grip 30 pounds of rounded evil at Zach Even-Esh’s recent Underground Strength Coach certification in New Jersey. Yeah, it’s not as easy as you may think.

Let me know what you think, by leaving a comment below. BTW, don’t you dare miss Belton’s demo of the “O” face at the end.
