Monday September 6, there will be NO open training due to the long weekend.
If anyone is interested in open training on Saturday at 6pm we may make that time slot available in mid September. Please let us know.
For those who wish to do a little bit of heavy lifting, we now have competition sized bells at 36kg, 40kg, 44kg, and 48kg! We only have one each of these and they are available for use during open training. Not many people in Ontario have these at all. So if you have StrongSport aspirations, feel free to drop by.
We have a number of new t-shirts available, now in white, blue, and yellow, with a couple left in red. These have our logo in vinyl so they look pretty sharp. $30 each.
The Toronto Kettlebell Club now has a Facebook group. If you are a regular user of Facebook, please search for us and join to keep up with news, updates and announcements.
In addition to regular non-competition bells we also have a source for standardized hollow competition bells. These bells are made by the same manufacturer as the AKC bells so the production quality is very good but they use a slightly different mold. The handle is just a bit narrower on these as well as being fully painted. These bells are significantly less expensive than the AKC bells when you factor in the shipping cost to Canada. However, if you are a purist, we do have a small number of AKC bells available. We prefer to have kettlebell orders picked up locally if possible, but shipping can be investigated if necessary. In any case, contact us for pricing details..
We are now incorporating Persian style club and mace swings to our regular training. They are prefect compliments to our kettlebell lifts as they add an extra pulling component, a wider shoulder range of motion and a greater anterior chain emphasis while still within a strength-endurance context. The clubs and maces are available for use during any session, depending on space, but please ask for guidance the first time you try them for safety reasons.
