No Equipment Necessary

Many of our guests at Parrot Cay are surprised when they sign up for personal training or attend my Cross Training class to discover that I do not use any of the gym equipment. Maybe a dumbbell every once in a while for a Turkish Get Up or a squat, but generally I find that body weight is plenty.

We stretch, we skip, we lunge, we squat, we bridge, we plank, we side plank, we do push ups, we do agility drills, we do burpees (squat thrusts), we sprint up the hill from the gym to the spa road a couple of times. We do exercises that you can do anywhere at almost anytime that will keep you strong, flexible, and "functionally fit".

It works!
