A Lesson I Learned About Ultimate Sandbag Training

This past weekend was another wonderful opportunity to run our Dynamic Variable Resistance Training Certification to top fitness professionals from not only around the country, but around the world as well. These programs aren’t about teaching others, but important lessons I learn about myself, our program, and Ultimate Sandbag Training overall. Especially enlightening was a conversation I had with a coach about our DVRT Ultimate Sandbag Training at dinner. He was almost mad at me, in fact, a word that came out was DISAPPOINTED!

A lot of it is my fault, I’ve always made it a point not to shove our DVRT Ultimate Sandbag Training philosophy down people’s throat. I’ve always had the philosophy we want to help those that want our help. We don’t go around bashing other training methods, we want to always seem positive and empowering to people and think Ultimate Sandbag Training should be the same. However, this coach made me think if everything we were doing was right! After attending our DVRT Ultimate Sandbag Training Certification he told me I was doing a disservice to our program and those that need it. Hmmm, I was all ears! He went on to tell me that what we have is so special and if we don’t stand up for it harder then we aren’t really helping people and we aren’t helping changing an industry that needs a lot of it.

He Made Me Change My Mind About Ultimate Sandbag Training

As he continued to discuss this idea to me, I couldn’t help but find myself nodding. It isn’t about tearing down others, but rather telling the truth and standing up harder for ideals that we believe so deeply in. One of them that he mentioned right off the bat was the whole “homemade sandbag” idea. In his words, “if let people believe for one second that Ultimate Sandbag Training and homemade sandbags  are the same thing then you are hurting not helping people!” He was right! As we continue to grow not as an equipment company, but and educational company I am finding it more important that people realize that Ultimate Sandbag Training isn’t about anything but providing better solutions, faster results, and more fun workout programs that keep you motivated for the long run.

When people talk about sandbag training I often feel we aren’t even talking the same language. People that see a bag of sand miss the depth and versatility of what is becoming known as a revolutionary system of functional fitness. In fact, when people ask me about sandbag training I almost feel a pit in my stomach, do people ask Louie Simmons about “barbell training”? You think Arnold Schwarzenegger talked about the validity of dumbbells? How about leading spine specialist Dr. McGill, you think he gets asked about “abs”? Maybe, but the point is that isn’t what any of these people are about. It is the result, it is the power to transform people’s bodies, and for us we want to change their lives!

So, if you want to use a piece of crap and not make progress in your training then by all means keep using those nasty homemade sandbags, however, if you want to raise your fitness to new heights, help aching injuries, and transform how you see fitness programs I invite you to continue to follow our evolving and growing DVRT Ultimate Sandbag Training program.

Don’t believe me? See what newly certified DVRT instructor Dio Vuijich said about his experience at our certification:

“The Ultimate Sandbags DVRT Course is definitely hands down without a doubt an educational experience unlike any other out there! If you are currently using Ultimate Sandbags or own a facility that uses them then I absolutely recommend taking the DVRT Course. You will benefit from it and your clients will benefit even more from the knowledge you gain from it!”
