What is Girya?
Just the first kettlebell training facility in the county!
Hi, I'm Mark Reifkind and
I own Girya Kettlebell Training. Girya is the first studio in the country
to use the kettlebell as its primary training tool. “Girya”
is the Russian word for kettlebell, which
is a strength and conditioning weight that looks like a bowling ball with
a handle. Girya is now located inside Noxcuses Fitness Studio, 2741 Middlefield Rd, Palo Alto.
I've competed nationally in gymnastics, bodybuilding and powerlifting, as well as trained extensively in the disciplines of marathon, ultramarathon and triathlon.
I've published articles in top strength and conditioning magazines. I've
used nearly every piece of training equipment and every type of training
approach that's out there.
And all my hard-earned wisdom and experience has led me to conclude that,
for me and my clients, the best training tool and approach for strength
and conditioning – hands down – is kettlebell training.
Why kettlebells?
Kettlebells have been used for centuries
in Russia. Pavel Tsatsouline, a former Russian special forces trainer,
brought kettlebell training to America in year 2000 and it's now being
embraced across the country by top fitness trainers, competitive athletes
and ordinary folks who want results and are willing to work hard to get
them.
The basic kettlebell exercise is the swing, a full-body workout we'll
have you doing in your first ten minutes. Master trainer and Brazilian
Jujitsu World Champion Steve Maxwell has said that "the perfect kettlebell
swing is superior to 99% of all the sophisticated strength and conditioning
programs." We agree.
What our clients say
"Mark is the dynamic combination of smart, skilled, and dedicated.
He approaches each client as an individual — adapting sessions to
suit that person's strengths and weaknesses. He has an encyclopedic knowledge
of body mechanics and as a result can train for maximum results, without
risking injury. I came to him with numerous joint problems; and I honestly
didn't think I'd be able to manage a kettle bell, but he has worked tirelessly
and enthusiastically to first increase my mobility, then build muscle,
strength, and stamina. It's a pleasure to work with somebody who is so
good at his job: After nearly two years, I still look forward to every
training session."
