BodyART™ Training
with Robert Steinbacher
Tuesday, November 10th & Wednesday, November 11th, 9am-5pm
In BodyART™ Training, the human being as a functional unit has top priority. BodyART™ combines training positions and classical breathing techniques into a synergy of physical training and mental relaxation. The ultimate aim of BodyART™ training is to ensure the correct function of the entire human body through functional strength and stabilization training of the human motion system. In contrast to classical power training for the singular muscle, the human body as whole has priority. All exercises and positions train various muscles of the body at once. Many positions in BodyART™ call for an accelerated balance technique, so attention is directed to the center of the body. The benefit is that the awareness of the trainee concentrates on his/her own body and is not distracted by the surroundings. As a result, oxygen supply to the brain and muscles is increased which allows the body to relax while training. This intensive two day training will include theory, practice, technique, alignment, BodyART™ philosophy, master classes and intensive training and education to give you a deeper understanding, knowledge and practice. A must for anyone who wants to further his/her physical training and learn new techniques and methodologies for greater overall results in strength, flexibility, balance, control, and mindfulness.
Fee: $300

Kranking® Trainer Certficate Program
with Jim Karanas
Thursday, November 12th 9am-3pm
The one-day Kranking® Trainer Certficate Program will demonstrate how Kranking revolutionizes exercise by using the arms, shoulders and torso muscles while providing incredible cardiovascular training, cross training for the lower body, functional training and postural balance for the upper body, core strengthening and alternative strength training for individuals that do not like to lift weights.

Learn the biomechanics and physiological benefits of the industry's greatest new training system and Johnny G's NEW Heart- Rate “Method”: Cardiovascular training has been about putting energy out. This is important but it is only part of the equation. Recovery is the cornerstone of Johnny's new method and has never been the main focus of any cardiovascular training system until now. Johnny has devised games, drills and strategies that train you to increase the capacity of your heart to hold more energy. Through heart-rate meditation; taught in every session, you broadcast a message of vitality to your whole body, as well as improve your endurance and performance.

Learn about Kranking®’s uses for Special Populations and Adaptive-Fitness Training: For 54 million Americans with a disability, fitness centers are not a welcoming environment. For 170 million individuals who now belong to a “special population” there are few options for cardiovascular exercise if you are unable to utilize your lower body. Thanks to Johnny G, the opportunities are not only boundless but they are cool, fun, and “have a soul.” This part of the day represents the “heart and soul” of Kranking®. No limitations. No one gets left out.
