June 14, 2010
Well, I finally did it–I’m very happy to announce to you that I have opened my very own private personal training and kettlebell studio right here in Honolulu, Hawaii. I decided many months ago that it was time to get out of the gym environment and into a private training facility. I

This video made me LOL! I hope it can do the same for you. When you spend a significant amount of time in a gym, you occasionally see some crazy stuff, people, and people doing crazy stuff. The funniest thing about the video below is: back when I worked as a personal trainer down on the beach in

What?! Some personal trainer in Hawaii ate a WHOLE turkey? I actually did not eat the whole turkey. “I can’t believe I ate the whole turkey!” was really a little homemade paper sign that me, my kid sister, and my cousins taped onto Grandpa’s back during a Thanksgiving get
