  Kristen W. asked:

  Can I get some good recommendations for Kettlebell training in the Seattle area? I was thinking of taking it up again and was interested in somewhere outside of the Strikerfit program in Columbia City (nothing against them as they're great, just would like something different).

  

  Alyssa R. replied:

  I would love to sell you on it, and I will when I am not on my phone! But do check out www.rocketcrossfit.com in the meantime. Or maybe some of our members will while I'm away..... Phil Johnson? Jonita Bernstein? Anyone.....

  Rocket CrossFit is really REALLY really looking for a Pilates instructor. I want to offer Pilates (largely because I really love Pilates and want it at Rocket, where I spend most of my life.) 2 or 3 classes a week. Matt work only, in a loft in a noisy CrossFit gym (where we very happily have several yoga classes a week.) We are an awesome community, totally friendly and goofy and active. People become "family" really quickly. But we need Pilates, in order to be complete. :) If you know of any great Pilates instructors, please, pretty please, send them my way. It's a paid position, plus access to our CrossFit classes.

  That's such a trick question. CrossFit is infinitely scalable. If you walk into Rocket, you'll see people of all shapes, sizes and fitness abilities, and that's just how I like it. Seriously, so there's nothing to worry about in terms of intensity. (Some of our members will probably chime in on this.) We make things harder or easier by using more or less weight, or different equipment, or in some cases substituting a different exercise altogether. Almost no one starts able to do a pull-up or push up, or even run around the block. Much less lift weights. We run everyone through a one-month Blast Off program that is 3 days a week (next session starts on Thursday) and teaches all the moves safely - but is, in and of itself, a pretty intense workout. And, of course, there's 4 yoga classes and 1 mobility class a week that you can also do. So yes, I think we'd fit the bill. www.RocketCrossFit.com I have yet to meet someone who "couldn't" do it.
