Mitzi is one tough Mama

Mitzi Rivas has been a part of the IC community for nearly three years and she still lights up the room whenever she walks in.  Spreading laughter, positivity, joy, and optimism are daily rituals for Mitzi.  Another reason we salute her today is that she is also a rock star mother of two gorgeous children, Luca and Maya, in addition to being a busy entrepreneur, but rather than pretending to be the perfect Superwoman, Mitzi is always ready and willing to open up about the challenges women face today in trying to balance life with a career and children.  We are all appreciative and eager to share push-ups, med ball tosses, and sandbag runs with her every week because Mitzi is made of steel with a heart of gold!

Master of Sport, Dr. Scott Helsley, wrote a great review of the Kettle Guard, an ICKB Girls innovation.

“The Kettle Guards are a big improvement over both the simple wrist bands and wraps… I did my long cycle set and then I used them for a strongman set of jerks and cleans with the 40kg bell at the AKC booth.  I also used them at home in similar sets with 48 and 53kg bells…”
