Another New Gym: Pharaohs Army Fitness

Pharaohs Army Fitness will be opening by April 1st at 116-16 Queens Blvd. Suite 230 Forest Hills

According to the person who contacted me, "Ari has been teaching at the Forest Hills NYSC and has a really large following in both his paid for and open classes, so it's going to start with a bang. The website will give you more information about what's to come. Intensity to say the least. But in a fun and encouraging way. I've been taking his classes for 6 years, and never once have I been dissapointed. He's also highly ranked on rateyourburn.com and on dragondoor.com he is a top 10 in the COUNTRY for RKC certified instructors."

You probably want to hear all of the wonderful things that make Ari a specialist. So by obligation, here is a reminder that Ari has been training and teaching classes for over 13 years. And below is a list of his 9 elite certifications (we've spared you the ones that "don't count.")

• Russian Kettlebell Challenge Instructor RKC - August 2011
• Russian Kettlebell Challenge Level 2 Instructor RKC II - June 2012
• StrongFirst Girya Level 2 Instructor SFG II - June 2012
• Certified Kettlebell Functional Movement Specialist CK-FMS - January 2012
• NASM CPT - April 2006
• NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist - April 2008
• USA Weightlifting Sports Performance Coach - December 2010
• TRX Suspension Training Course - April 2010
• TRX Sports Medicine Training Course - March 2012

A self proclaimed "permanent beginner," as Master RKC Dan John once said. Franz Snideman, Senior RKC described a "permanent beginner," as someone who is "striving to get better each and every day. There is no destination where you finally arrive at mastery." This state of mind is why Ari continues to seek out the best training for himself, and the most knowledge to bring to his clients.

But none of those things matter if the person behind all of that education follows a singular method of training. It's Ari's personality that drives Pharaohs Army Fitness. His "no room for laziness," policy pushes his clients in each workout. Classes get loud. They get in your face. They #GETMONEY. And they help you look better nekkid, one kettlebell swing at a time.
