Podcasts about fitwall

Today's podcast features Clifton Harski. Cliff has been in human performance for two decades and is highly active in movement education, leading over 450 workshops and certifications since 2011. Cliff is the COO for the Pain Free Performance Specialist Certification while developing and running the Functional Kettlebell Training Certification. Cliff developed a small group training fitness franchise, Fitwall, which had 7 locations across 5 states prior to Covid. He has over 15 certifications in movement training, strength and conditioning, and a masterful and inter-connected thought process on all things human movement, strength and performance. What is interesting with the human performance, strength and conditioning model is that it hinges heavily on things that a number can be tied to. Physical strength is very easy to track through various gym maxes, and conditioning is just as simple, based on whatever key test a coach decides to use with their group. At the same time, “movement” requires a greater intuition of the entire process of athleticism. For today's podcast, Clifton discusses how he looks at the human performance industry in light of movement + strength + conditioning, and not just the latter two. He gives his model of the 3A's (be able, be athletic, be adaptable, talks about the role of movement variability in training, speaks on rotational kettlebell training concepts, movement coaching, and much more. This episode puts the entirety of human performance coaching into perspective from an individual who has seen a massive range of training methods and philosophies.

Last week, exercise equipment inventor Douglas Brendle was sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to multiple counts of tax and healthcare fraud.A resident of Cheyenne, Wyoming, Brendle is the inventor of the Fitwall, a stainless steel lattice structure that stands about seven feet tall and is 30 inches wide. It has footsteps and hand-holds as well as the ability to add various attachments like resistance bands or a rock-climbing face. The idea is that you have your entire gym (or at least workout) in the wall standing in front of you. A mini jungle gym for one.From 2008-2012, Brendle owned and operated Brendle Climbing Systems which sold his exercise equipment. In January 2013, Brendle sold the rights to the equipment to investors for $1.5 million to be paid out over the next two years. Unfortunately, Brendle forgot to pay income taxes to the tune of approximately $404,501.He not only failed to pay income taxes from 2013-2014, but he also fraudulently received health care benefits from Wyoming Medicaid. From 2013-2014, Medicaid paid Brendle approximately $17,173 in benefits.He was sentenced to 18 months in prison for two counts of willfully failing to file his income tax returns and one count of making a fraudulent health care benefit application. In addition to his prison term, he's also on the hook for the $404,501 in restitution to the IRS, and $17,173.70 to Medicaid. He was facing up to three years in prison.For a few years, the Fitwall was deemed the "future of exercise," and the company was even named one of the world's top 10 most innovative companies in fitness. As Brendle prepares to begin his sentence, Fitwall gyms are still opening up across the United States.

How many times have you seen an advertisement for a fitness product or exercise program and wondered, "Does that really work?" On this episode of All About Fitness I talk with Clifton Harski about how to identify fitness programs that work and how to determine which ones are complete nonsense. We also talk about awesomeness - I'm not sure about you, but I am always interested in how I could be doing things a little better and Clifton is one of the most awesome guys I know so we discuss strategies on how to be more awesome. Clifton is the Director of Fitness Programming for Fitwall - a unique studio training concept THAT WORKS, as well as an educator responsible for teaching kettlebell and Animal Flow workshops to personal trainers. Clifton is a hella smart guy who knows how to design exercise programs that deliver results so his advice can help you identify workout programs to meet your needs. Clifton is not only a cool guy, he's pretty freaking strong I've gotten to know Clifton through his social media posts and consider him to be one of the most creative guys in our business; he creates killer, science-based workout programs for Fitwall and his social media videos and pics always crack me up so if you're looking for ways to make your life a little more awesome, he's the right guy to help you identify how. This video clip of Clifton recreating an old-time barbell workout from the era of physical culture is only one of the things that make him AWESOME!      This pic of Mr. Harski in his 4th of July workout gear shows him in ALL of his innate awesomeness; a little cheesy? Yes - but having the confidence to pull it off is what makes it great! Interested in what the heck a FitWall workout involves? Check out this video clip featuring Clifton and the FitWall team. Clifton is a Master Trainer, meaning he trains personal trainers, for both Kettlebell Athletics and Animal Flow. Here's the backstory on this interview: as I started the podcast one of the pieces of advice I read was to have a couple of interviews saved for when you need to post a podcast and didn't have anyone scheduled. We had this conversation after a killer kettlebell workout next to the beach in San Diego and I saved it until now - the reason I'm launching it now is that Clifton and his wife (standing on his back above) just introduced a new bundle of awesomeness to the world, congratulations guys - hope you survive the experience.    Follow Clifton on Social media: Instagram: @Cliftonharski Twitter: @Cliftonharski   My social media tags: Twitter: @PeteMc_fitness Instagram: @PeteMcCall_fitness www.petemccallfitness.com      My blogs for the American Council on Exercise: https://www.acefitness.org/blogs/author/58/pete-mccall
