Notice your wrists peeling back during pressing movements?
Enter the Bottoms Up Kettlebell Press
This variation forces you to completely stack your wrist and crush the handle, building the grip and joint stability needed for a stronger, safer bench press
Drop the ego, grab a light bell and feel the difference in your stability!

William and Carolyn just joined Team Ishan and are already feeling better

They have worked with trainers in the past and know how important they can be
Don't take life sitting down
I love creating superheroes
Every client has their own goals, their own challenges and their own journey
My job isn't to choose their destination. It's to give them the knowledge, skills and tools to pursue it
That's what makes personal training exciting for me
Your journey. My support. Let's go
The less you eat - the better it tastes
Our sessions include everything from bench presses and rows to loaded carries, step ups and rowing intervals
Sometimes we combine them. Sometimes we give each its own focus
Outside our sessions, Jose is also an avid distance runner, putting in the miles on his own
And perhaps the most important part of his story?
He says he feels himself advancing and getting better every week and he's enjoying the process
A tremendous achievement, Jose
Proud of the work you've put in
We often overlook, when trying to lose weight, the actual time we spend eating our meals
When I was cutting weight, I realized something
I didn't just want to satisfy my hunger. I wanted to sit down at the end of the day and enjoy a substantial meal, for longer than a few desperate minutes
When you're working within a calorie deficit, a small, calorie dense dinner, that's over before you've even started - just doesn't do it
And you're left wanting more
That's when I started paying attention to two things
FOOD VOLUME AND MEAL DURATION
I started making my calories go further
Hearty stews, substantial salads, plenty of vegetables, satisfying protein and thoughtful substitutions that allowed me to build larger meals without exceeding my calorie target
I could sit down, take my time and actually enjoy eating
Often there was still room for a bowl of popcorn and/or a protein shake
Recognize that satisfaction is linked to the volume of food you eat and the time you spend eating it
Don't just plan how much you're going to eat. Think about how you want to experience the meal
Be satisfied. And lose fat
Change the conditions. Change the outcome

The best seasoning is true hunger
Train hard. Earn your appetite
Eat when you’re truly hungry
Stop when you're satisfied
There is a point in life where you face a choice - fight to stay vibrant or become complicit in your own physical decline
The choice is yours
Letting your body slowly turn off is a tragedy, especially when there is a clear avenue to not just maintain, but actively enhance your life
As an NSCA certified personal trainer, that's been in the game for 15+ years, I know that getting started doesn't require a massive, intimidating overhaul
It starts with one actionable principle: Run the week
Start a workout plan, execute it well as possible for seven days - track your wins and losses. Learn
Start a new week
I have the entire system set up to guide you through it so you don't have to figure it out alone
The real question is, do you think you're worth it?
