So how about the team of Primal Fitness Pittsburgh will be teaching calisthenics on a farm? Yup! I’m not sure it gets any more primal than that! 😉 Hey everyone! I just wanted to give a big HOLLA to our friends at Organically Social for putting together an incredible event at Sorgel’s Farm in Wexford, […]
“Do or Do Not. There is No Try.”
I had a major epiphany, and that epiphany was that I was not doing what I sought out to do for my own health and wellness. Shocking, I know, especially coming from a fitness professional like myself. You’d think the hardcore kettlebellig and calisthenic aficionado would OWN everything single one her healthy habits. For the […]
Powerful Pressing: The Results Are In!
I would like to take the time today to personally thank everyone that signed up for our Powerful Pressing Beta test program.

While we saw some pretty dramatic results from that challenge, this year we are going for something a bit stronger this year 😉 Starting in June, Primal Fitness Pittsburgh will host a 3 week Lean Eating Challenge that is […]
A Powerful Press with 1 Simple Stretch
A few weeks ago at our Kettlebell Course in Pittsburgh, my instructor friends and I had spent a lot of time discussing the role of “linkage” when it comes a heavy 1 arm military press. This “linkage” topic was really related to how well your body is moving under the load of a seriously sizable […]
What’s the Best Exercise for Fat loss? Muscle building? Specific body part? All body parts? SOMEONE HELP!-Ryan Williams, PCC Instructor
I’m sorry to break it to you but there is no “best”. Many people say they best exercise is whatever you enjoy and stick with…and while I see the merit in that thinking, I do believe it needs put into context as well. You may love to stand there and do curls all day long, […]
Kettlebells for Your Barbell Deadlift: The “WHAT THE HELL?!” Effect
Confession: I am beginning to dive into the world of barbell training. I was exposed to the barbell deadlift by a number of lifting coaches through Industrial Athletics, and since then, I have started to fall in love with picking a huge hunk of weight up and putting it back down. Don’t get me wrong, […]
