Russian Kettlebells A kettlebell is a traditional Russian cast iron weight that looks like a cannonball with a handle. Pavel Tsatsouline was the pioneer who brought the kettlebell to the U.S. The foundation kettlebell exercise is the “swing” where the body starts in a squat position and the weight is swung backwards between the legs then thrust forward to chest level. Kettlebells replace dumbbells, medicine balls, barbells, grip devices, cardio equipment and so much more. Benefits: Develops all-purpose strength and flexibility and hacks off the fat. “With kettlebells you get an aerobic and strength building, total body workout in 20 minutes,” says owner Diane Salettel.

The flexbands are easy on the joints and deliver a variable resistance workout. Flexbands can be used for a wide range of specialized fitness programs, from weight loss, injury prevention, to sport specific training. Benefits: Flexibility, increased vertical jump, injury protection and rehabilitation, and increased explosive power.
