Special KBLA happenings for local Fire & Police

FIRST of all, there is a fundraiser coming up for the Los Angeles Firemen's Relief Association, taking place this December to benefit the Widows', Orphans', and Disabled Firemen's Fund. I'll be donating private kettlebell training sessions to benefit the fund this year. If you are already planning to attend, please look for my silent auction item and place a bid, or encourage another to do the same! If you would like to be involved with supporting our local firemen and their families, this is a great organization.

So if you have been considering private training for yourself, or would like to give a gift of private lessons to someone else for the holidays, here's a great time to do it!

Tickets and other information about the event can be found here.

ADDITIONALLY, as mentioned on KBLA Chief Instructor Dr. Cheng's blog, all group classes for the remainder of 2008 are FREE (rather than the usual 50% off) for all active Fire Dept. and Law Enforcement Personnel. (Please also see Dr. Cheng's blog for more specifics on this.) This is an effort to say "thank you" to those who put their lives on the line for our safety on a daily basis, as well as a sincere desire to assist these brave men and women with reaching their optimal strength and conditioning levels, to help them remain safe and injury-free while in strenuous, physically demanding situations (read: life or death!). Please help spread the word - we'd like to see as many active Police & Fire personnel as possible take advantage of these free lessons. Thank you!!

LASTLY,
As ALSO mentioned on Dr. Cheng's blog, we will be hosting a special kettlebell clinic for firefighters. More details will be forthcoming, so either send me an e-mail if you are interested, or keep checking the blog in the coming days.

KBLA thanks you!
