Our Origin
In the span of 6 months, at the age of 44, Marty Renk suffered two major injuries – he pulled muscles in his back doing crossfit, then he tore his Achilles Tendon playing tennis. These were the first major injuries of his life.
After recovering for the torn Achilles, heeding the physical therapist’s advice, Marty quit CrossFit and vowed to give holistic physical training a whirl. An approach that emphasizes mobility, flexibility, and recovery just as much as strength.
He started at home holistic training program, which he loved. The problem was he didn’t have enough room and of most his equipment was for heavy strength training. arty started prototyping better ideas that helped him improve physically, holistically After dozens of iterations, the kettlebell bag, in its current state, was born.
