I am a celebrity trainer in Los Angeles. I focus on heavy club bell and kettle bell training. Mobility is the key to your health. (and yes... that's my real name)
Most “core training” stops at crunches and planks. But your body doesn’t live in straight lines.
Sports, martial arts, even daily movement - they all demand rotation.
Heavy clubs teach the core to generate and resist force in every direction. It's not just abs, it’s the foundation of real-world strength.

*Heavy club training isn’t just about getting stronger — it’s about moving better.*
Most lifters build muscle at the cost of mobility. 👉 Clubs do the opposite: they restore the natural range of motion your shoulders, spine, and hips were designed for.
Every circle you swing is *strength training + joint health in one.* If you sit all day or feel locked up from traditional lifting… ⚡ this practice brings durability back into your body.

There are three diameters of handles currently in the ADEX Mace & Club lineup: ⚪ 1" Original 🔵 1.25" Fat 🟢 1.4" Wildman (~35mm)
I like the 1.4-inch diameter because it's roughly 35mm — about the same diameter as a competition kettlebell handle.
I'm aiming for consistency across all gear: kettlebell handle, mace handle, and club handle all matching so training with one transfers directly to the others — no need to adjust grip width or mechanics.
💥 *The Kettlebell Clean & Press: Why It’s King* 👑 If you could only choose one kettlebell movement for athletic longevity and total-body power — this is it.
✅ *Power Generation* Each clean develops explosive force from the hips, transferring it through your entire system — from the ground, through the core, to the bell.
✅ *Overhead Mobility* The press demands more than strength. It opens the shoulders, strengthens joint control, and teaches full-body coordination under load.
✅ *Rotational Control* Stabilizing the kettlebell overhead teaches your core to resist unwanted movement — building real-world balance, integrity, and control.

You don’t build strength by waiting for January.
You build it by showing up when other people aren’t.
- Fat loss always takes longer than you want.
- Building muscle takes even longer.
- Consistency takes reps.
Start now, before the holidays knock you off track.
25% OFF all training programs this weekend only.
Use code LABOR25 at checkout.
Don’t wait. Start preparing for next summer today.
