This past weekend I was invited to BreakThruConditioning in Walnut, California for a sample of their unorthodox functional fitness bootcamp.

I have to say that I was impressed. These guys have really done their homework and have put together a serious program that will challenge fitness enthusiasts of all levels. In fact, I was running the same circuit as a middle aged woman, yet due to individual modifications, I was the one having trouble keeping my late breakfast down. (Yes, I underestimated the intensity and finished a heavy breakfast an hour before training — big mistake!)

Ben and Jeremy, the founders of BreakThruConditioning, are full-time engineers by day and high powered martial arts/fitness junkies by night (so to speak). Experienced martial artists with a serious passion for reality based fitness, these two gentelmen are doing their part in revolutionizing the fitness industry.

Founded in October of 2007, BreakThruConditioning focuses on real life movements using sledge hammers, kettle bells, stability balls, medicine balls, rubber bands, tractor tires, barrels, sandbags and anything else you can imagine. Whole body exercises, with lots of rotational, lateral, and explosive movements is the name of the game. As Ben and Jeremy say, people don’t bench press or bicep curl anything in real life so why train that way? You are much more likely to engage in multi-joint and multi-planar movements like lift up your child, carry heavy boxes, or push a stalled car. This is especially true for athletes. It is this type of real life movements that BreakThruConditioning prepares you for.

Whether you’re retired and looking to improve your quality of life with fitness, or an experienced martial artist in your prime looking to jump start your performance, Ben and Jeremy are able to modify the circuits and exercises for all ages and fitness levels. Their routines change on a weekly basis with a diverse repertoire of unique exercises and balanced circuits so be prepared for a fresh approach that will keep your mind and body challenged.
