We are now recovering from a long weekend of training! We apologize to the Core group for missing the Sand Bag mile, but we understand that Bear, JD, and Kenny took great care of you. We were with you in spirit.

Here is a video collage of this weekend’s certification. A big thank you to Cate and Valery for coming out to teach, and of course we are grateful to everyone that flew in from around the globe to participate in this once in a lifetime event. Congratulations to all the new WKC Trainers and Coaches!

Best,
Steven

Here is a wonderfully informative  interview Maya conducted with our great friend Catherine Imes.  In her most extensive interview to date,  Cate discusses the importance of proper lifting and fixation, coaching perspectives, and… her favorite T-Shirt.  This is a must-read for both enthusiasts and competitors alike.  Enjoy!

Best,

Steven
