Personal Training NYC, Semi Private Training NYC, Group Training NYC : Functional, Strength, Bodyweight Training
Train P3 Outdoor Group Sessions are athletic and dynamic, movement and skill based, full body strength and conditioning classes. We use primal bodyweight moves to help you increase endurance, lose body fat, become more athletic, explosive and nimble. This is NOT a bootcamp. You will focus on learning skills, practicing awareness and good form. Beginners are welcome, but please check pre-requisites below.
Primal squat is a fundamental human posture that prepares our bodies for more intense lower body moves and maintains joint integrity in all lower body joints. Recently Nerijus recorded a video for Qinetic explaining the primal squat and how to do it. See video below to learn why primal squat is an essential movement for anyone.
Humans are incredibly versatile and adaptable beings that can move and travel through space and different environments in a variety of ways. We can crawl, roll, walk, swim, climb, run, brachiate, jump, run, walk on all fours and more. A term “locomotive pattern” is a description of a movement of human body traveling through space.
As a movement and skill based strength training method, at Train P3, we believe locomotive patters are hugely important in developing a functional, strong and resilient humans and athletes. Today we are covering a quadrupedal pattern we call a beast crawl. Some call this a bear crawl and there are other names for it too. Regardless of what you call it, it is an important pattern to practice. The beast crawl a full body move which helps increase coordination, strengthens core, shoulders and hips and is a lot of fun! Recently coach Nerijus recorded a video for Qinetic describing the Beast Crawl, how to perform it and where it fits in your current training program.
Every Saturday starting February 6th till April 30th 2016
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!
Warming up is not a major consideration to most recreational gym-goers. Some people believe a few jumping jacks or a quick jog is all it takes to get ready for the session. They feel that doing a warm up is a waste of time, especially when training time is limited.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
A proper warm up is one of the most important parts of a good training session; it acts as a movement preparation, injury prevention, pre-hab, rehab and as nervous system training. It mobilizes the joints, engages the muscles and activates the nervous system. A good warm up not only lowers the risk of injury during the session, it injury-proofs the body long term and significantly improves performance. The more advanced the athlete becomes, the more important a warm up becomes. This is because each training session is intense and stressful physically, mentally and even emotionally and the movements become more complex. Without a proper warm up, athletes just will not be able to achieve the level of intensity necessary or will get injured.

It has been a while since I posted an “exercise of the week,” but this exercise is too good not to share! This is a frontal core, shoulder stability and spinal mobility exercise all packed into one – Enjoy!
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.
