Married for 18 years, Christine
Lindquist and Nick Moody were no strangers to fitness before they joined Seattle Kettlebell Club. After 7 years
of competing in full distance Iron Man Triathlons, the couple was in search of
something they could do together since Nick had some knee issues caused by
running. With their background in competitive training, they’ve loved that SKC
and kettlebells have allowed them to continue their fitness journeys and
set new goals.
However,
SKC members already know that we are much more than just a gym, so the couple
shares what exactly makes training here so wonderfully unique.

| Fun Fact: Nick and Christine got married in Vegas and had an Elvis style wedding! |
1. The
Intro Class is Awesome!
“It
was super professional. We were so impressed with the intro session and how thorough
Nikolai was with everyone making
sure that everybody could do everything in a way that was safe, and they felt
comfortable,” Christine said.
2.
Classes Continuously Keep Them in Great Shape
“[Training here] is complimentary to
what we did before. I would do weightlifting on my own, but it wasn’t really
focused. You’d go in and kind of get lost, and you get locked down in a narrow
routine of what you can do,” Nick said. “We took some classes too, (at other
gyms) but it wasn’t the same.”

There’s
a Place for Everyone at SKC
“Anybody could walk in here and feel
like there’s a place for them, and that they’re not going to be intimidated or disrespected,”
Christine said.
“Everybody is nothing but
supportive of each other,” Nick said. “Everybody is genuinely excited when
you’ve done something you’ve never done before. There’s a comradery with
completing challenges together.”

The
Coaches and Program Prep Make Difficult Goals a Reality
Nick notes that along
with gaining strength, working out here has helped them both build confidence
and break fitness barriers.
“Moving up to a ten-minute
event is a big deal,” Christine adds. “The first time we competed we watched
people do ten-minute sets, and we couldn’t believe it. Then we went through the [KettleSPORT] training cycle, and obviously it was to get us fit for ten minutes, and everybody in that
training cycle did a ten-minute event, and they all did great! Now we gotta set
some new goals.”

Overall,
SKC is the best place to work out!
“We love the club. It’s
just so much fun” Nick said. “It’s the best place I’ve ever had a membership
to.”
“I think the thing that’s
been really fun is to see what Amber and Nikolai have been able to make happen
in a really short period of time. I cannot imagine any business owners working
harder than they do. There’s always something new that they're working on. It’s
just constant. They do not rest. It’s really impressive!”
