Train P3 Intensive – Performance, Power, Physique is a 12 hour curriculum divided into 2 days and sectioned into four, 3-hour workshops. It is taught by Nerijus Bagdonas and Train P3 students: David Haws, Lesley Kennedy and Micaela Mamede.
My outdoor training article for Muscle and Fitness got approved fast and a week later, on June 30th, Edgar Artiga and I were shooting in Brooklyn Bridge Park. That day was one of the hottest days of the summer and even at 10am, it felt brutal! But we shot 12 moves from different angles and some variations in two and a half hours. After a quick lunch, we met up with my friend Lauren Taus to shoot some partner acrobatics shots. After Lauren left, Edgar and I continued shooting till about 5pm at which point, I was ready for a cold drink and a nap. Check out some of the behind the scenes shots from our shoot and the article from Muscle and Fitness September issue 2016.

We used broad jumps for the opening of the article. It’s one of my favorites!
Our athlete, Dan came to his first Train P3 class over a year an a half ago. From the beginning he had the most awesome drive and great work ethic combined with curiosity and excitement to learn the hardest exercises. In the first six months I remember excessively correcting Dan’s form in every class. So much that I felt bad for always picking on him. But he never got discouraged! He listened carefully to each correction and asked many questions. Soon his form improved and he kept coming back stronger and stronger. About a year ago, Dan did one of our 6-Week Transformation challenges and lost 16lbs of fat, gained a significant amount of strength and crushed the the final strength test. In the program we went over nutrition and lifestyle tips which really helped take his performance, power and physique to the next level. I am truly proud to call Dan a Train P3 athlete! Thank you, Dan for inspiring me and the whole Train P3 tribe! Keep up the great work!

WE ARE PUMPED – Train P3INDOOR GROUP SESSIONS ARE BACK!
Every Saturday starting February 6th till April 30th 2016
WHAT:
Train P3 Indoor Group Sessions are athletic and dynamic, movement based, full body strength and conditioning classes. Based on a variety of bodyweight and traditional strength training disciplines this class is meant to help you increase strength and endurance, lose body fat, become more athletic, explosive and nimble. This is NOT a bootcamp or HIIT class! You will have an intense workout, but more importantly practice awareness, learn new skills and maintain good form.
Today I am super proud to highlight one of our athletes, Brian Pedone. Brian is an exceptional boxing coach and trainer, an entrepreneur and one of the nicest and kindest human beings you will ever meet. Brian is a fierce athlete! Although he is fun and supportive to everyone in the group, when training starts, he gives it all! The progress he has made in the past 8 months in strength, mobility and movement quality have been very impressive. His consistency, dedication, hard work, patience and great attitude are inspiration to all of us!
Tell us a little about yourself and your interests.
My name is Brian Pedone and I was born and raised in Queens, NY. I went to high school and college in the Poconos in PA. I studied Computer Science and made the 2008 BusinessWeek Top 25 Entrepreneurs 25 Years and Under in America. I invented a boxing fitness product called Quiet Punch that will hopefully hit retail very soon.
UPDATE: The spaces have been filled for this 6 Week Challenge!
Attention Train P3 Athletes! We are now recruiting for the next cycle of our Train P3 Transformation Challenge, slated to begin May 18th – 2015!
At Train P3 our goal is to help you become the strongest version of you.
We believe the best way to achieve that, is by by improving your performance and skills to help you become physically and mentally powerful. Although training to have an impressive physique is not the main goal of our training, it is an expression of how healthy you are and how well you treat your body. An athletic physique is an important part of being healthy, strong and confident; andit is a skill! It requires one to follow a wholesome lifestyle with clean nutrition, intelligent training and adequate rest. Unfortunately, finding this balance is not always easy; either because of time restrictions, lack of commitment, knowledge or support.
It is why we created a Train P3 6-Week Transformation Challenge.
We put together the best of what we do at Train P3 for an intensive, informative, and transformational six-week program. By the end of the challenge, you will not only be leaner and more athletic, but will have learned a sustainable way to take care of your body.
We don’t always have time or available facility to get a perfect training session. This does not mean that we should abandon our training till all conditions are ideal. It is beneficial to incorporate bouts of training into our daily lives even if they are brief. Your movement practice could be subtle. You could have increased awareness of the way your foot strikes the ground as you step of the curb, or mobilizing your wrists while waiting in line. If you are more bold, you can be as overt as doing a handstand, hanging on a railing, or sitting in a deep primal squat while waiting for your train. The important part is that you do something, because the little things can add up to great results.
