Behind the scenes of Muscle and Fitness Shoot, Take it outside

Behind the scenes of Muscle and Fitness Shoot, Take it outside
07 Sep

My outdoor training article for Muscle and Fitness got approved fast and a week later, on June 30th, Edgar Artiga and I were shooting in Brooklyn Bridge Park.  That day was one of the hottest days of the summer and even at 10am, it felt brutal!  But we shot 12 moves from different angles and some variations in two and a half hours.  After a quick lunch, we met up with my friend Lauren Taus  to shoot some partner acrobatics shots.  After Lauren left, Edgar and I continued shooting till about 5pm at which point, I was ready for a cold drink and a nap.  Check out some of the behind the scenes shots from our shoot and the article from Muscle and Fitness September issue 2016.

PRIMAL SQUAT to become better human and athlete
20 Apr

Primal squat is a fundamental human posture that prepares our bodies for more intense lower body moves and maintains joint integrity in all lower body joints.  Recently Nerijus recorded a video for Qinetic explaining the primal squat and how to do it.  See video below to learn why primal squat is an essential movement for anyone.

WORKSHOPS in NYC – get lean and design your own workout

WORKSHOPS in NYC – get lean and design your own workout
15 Dec

The most common questions I get from new clients or people I meet are:

“What kind of workout can I do when I travel?” “Can you write a program for me?” “What should I do when I have no equipment available or the equipment I want to use is taken?” “How do I get a six pack?!”  “What should I eat?”

To answer these questions and more, I am hosting two workshops in the NYC area:

1) December 21st 2015:   Fundamentals of Strength Training and Program Design

2) December 28th 2015:   Get Lean and Build a Strong Core

The Train P3 6-WEEK TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE: May through June 2015

The Train P3 6-WEEK TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE: May through June 2015
06 May

UPDATE: The spaces have been filled for this 6 Week Challenge!

Attention Train P3 Athletes! We are now recruiting for the next cycle of our Train P3 Transformation Challenge, slated to begin May 18th – 2015!

At Train P3 our goal is to help you become the strongest version of you.

We believe the best way to achieve that, is by by improving your performance and skills to help you become physically and mentally powerful.  Although training to have an impressive physique is not the main goal of our training, it is an expression of how healthy you are and how well you treat your body.  An athletic physique is an important part of being healthy, strong and confident; and it is a skill!  It requires one to follow a wholesome lifestyle with clean nutrition, intelligent training and adequate rest.  Unfortunately, finding this balance is not always easy; either because of time restrictions, lack of commitment, knowledge or support.

It is why we created a Train P3 6-Week Transformation Challenge.  

We put together the best of what we do at Train P3 for an intensive, informative, and transformational six-week program.  By the end of the challenge, you will not only be leaner and more athletic, but will have learned a sustainable way to take care of your body.

CA: Tell me a bit about your career as well as outside interests.

I am a strength and conditioning coach in NYC and I have created a training method called Train P3, which stands for Performance, Power, and Physique. I teach private, semi private and group training. Most of my clients are dancers, bodyweight athletes or anyone interested in moving better, becoming more functional and developing an athletic physique while focusing on multi-modal movement.

In my own life, I constantly try to experiment with various training styles (e.g., bodyweight training, gymnastics, dance, Olympic weightlifting, parkour etc.) to become a better athlete and express my creativity.

I am also a fitness model with Wilhelmina Models, I love elephants and my favorite color is purple.

TRAINING ON THE GO! Don’t let limited time or space be your excuse.

TRAINING ON THE GO! Don’t let limited time or space be your excuse.
13 Jan

We don’t always have time or available facility to get a perfect training session.  This does not mean that we should abandon our training till all conditions are ideal.  It is beneficial to incorporate bouts of training into our daily lives even if they are brief.  Your movement practice could be subtle.  You could have increased awareness of the way your foot strikes the ground as you step of the curb, or mobilizing your wrists while waiting in line.  If you are more bold, you can be as overt as doing a handstand, hanging on a railing, or sitting in a deep primal squat while waiting for your train.  The important part is that you do something, because the little things can add up to great results.

Check out the article I wrote for Mind Body Green about training on the go and the video of training at the airport below.

If you already have a pull up bar or tree branch in the back yard, you should definitely own a set of wooden gymnastic rings.  It will take your push ups, dips, chin ups, muscle ups, front and back levers and various hangs to the next level.  This is a must have tool for bodyweight training.

3. Super Bands: $25

Super bands are awesome! At Train P3 we use them for assisting or resisting exercises. We integrate them in warm ups, pulling exercises, adding resistance to push ups, assisting pull ups, over head squats and so much more.  We use 1/4″, 1/2″, 1″ and 1 1/8″ bands in our outdoor park workouts and I personally bring the 1/2” and 1” bands when I travel.  They come in various colors.

My Train P3 Experience

My Train P3 Experience
03 Jul

Today’s guest post is from Alexa Fitzpatrick who has started the blog www.MyTrainP3Experience.wordpress.com. The blog details what it is like to go through the Train P3 6-week program as someone who is not used to working out on a regular basis. If you already take the Saturday classes or semi-privates with Nerijus, you might see yourself in the characters/photos. If you have ever wondered if the Train P3 6-week program is the right thing for you, this blog will tell you the real deal of what it feels like to commit to changing your body over 6-weeks, from workouts to diets to state of mind. Spoiler alert: it’s not always easy!

Alexa’s 6-week Experience

Nerijus and I met in an elevator at a networking party. He graciously introduced himself and I ran away because he looked too fit to talk to. I’m a writer. He’s a trainer. I’m a before picture. He’s an after.
