Pull Up BarIron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar – BUY NOW

If you train at home, you must have a pull up bar! Here is a simple and durable pull up bar. It takes less than a second to place it on the door and start using it and the same amount to disassemble.

 

 

 

 

2. Wooden Gymnastic Rings: $64

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.

UPDATE:  This program will resume in November 2015.  Currently we are doing OUTDOOR GROUP SESSIONS in CENTRAL PARK.  Learn more HERE. 

TRAIN P3 INDOOR GROUP PROGRAM IS HELD NOVEMBER through APRIL
LEARN IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PROGRAM FOR YOU!  

BECOME THE STRONGEST VERSION OF YOU!

WHAT:

Train P3 group class is a progressive, 4-week strength and conditioning program, designed for bodyweight athletes and anyone interested in becoming a stronger mover and a more functional human being.  

This class is NOT A BOOTCAMP, CROSSFIT OR HIIT!  We focus on movement quality and complexity over calories burned or number of reps achieved.  In a Train P3 group class, you will work hard, practice good form, learn new skills, get physically and mentally challenged, but also have fun, feel accomplished, learn about your body, become more functional, and experience support from an inspiring group of athletes.

Class includes an athletic, performance enhancing and injury prevention based warm-up with muscle activation and dynamic mobility drills.  The main part of the class focuses on challenging strength and power exercises performed as a circuit.  The training techniques and exercises are based on primal, at times explosive, strength moves that are selected from multiple training modalities including traditional strength training, Olympic weightlifting, martial arts, gymnastics, parkour, animal movements and other bodyweight conditioning disciplines. It’s likely you will do deep stretching, travel like a beast, crawl like an animal, slam or throw medicine balls, push and drag sleds, jump, hang, hand balance, and do challenging variations of pull ups, push ups and single leg exercises. In Train P3 sessions you will challenge your athleticism in fun, creative and beneficial ways to improve your endurance, power and strength and help you become a more balanced and explosive athlete.

Nerijus 0 Comment Contest, News & Stuff, TP3 Athletes

Last week we ran a Train P3 contest and asked our athletes around the world to take a fun and athletic picture while wearing their Train P3 band. We asked them to do something athletic, creative, with good form and make sure that the band was visible.

We received over 20 entries which ranged from hysterical to incredibly physically impressive as well as beautiful!  We continue to be amazed by the creativity, athleticism and playfulness of the Train P3 athletes and could not be more proud of all of them!

It was difficult to choose the winner, but we developed a scoring system and evaluated each picture in the following criteria:

-Athletic
-Creative
-Good form
-Band visibility

It was close, but we chose these winners…

The first place and overall winner who scored the highest in most categories is Giacomo Turriny.  He displayed incredible athleticism, creativity and excellent form and we can see him using two bands in this picture!  CONGRATULATIONS Giacomo, this totally rocks!

Fundraiser for Train P3 Athlete Derek Agile Jones

Fundraiser for Train P3 Athlete Derek Agile Jones

Nerijus 0 Comment Contest, News & Stuff, TP3 Athletes

We’re mixing up a little friendly competition for a good cause. Are you game?

This time it’s not about who can do the most handstand pushups or complete the squat matrix the fastest. This time it’s about teamwork, supporting our pal, and finding out who has the most physically active friends.

On August 23rd, 2014, the Train P3 session  in Central Park will be donation-only. The Train P3 athlete who brings the most non-Train P3 friends will win bragging rights, a free group session, and the warm feeling of having helped a fellow athlete.

The donations will go to support Train P3 athlete Derek Agile Jones, who recently ruptured his Achilles tendon while sprinting. He had surgery that week and will be going through months of intensive treatment.  Because the costs from this surgery and physical therapy are only partially covered by Derek’s insurance, our coaches, Chelsea Aguiar and Nerijus Bagdonas, are passing on all of the money from this “free” class to help cover his bills.

If you have a friend who has always wanted to try Train P3, tell them to take advantage of this choose-your-own price (we suggest $20 – but we are open to any and all donations). Please register early and bring as many friends as you can to help support Derek, our friend and fellow athlete.

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.
