Do you do any coaching yourself, Steve??
Yes, I do, but not much, typically a few people each week.
When I got my first Pavel cert, I also got an NSCA-CPT and I started working part-time at my local YMCA, and also offered half-day kettlebell workshops there several times a year.
I don't advertise at all, and it's all in my basement gym.
My basement gym is, however, if I do say so myself, is pretty full-featured for a strength athlete - lots of kettlebells (I guessed 25; my wife guessed 50), bars (several standard Oly/PL, an
Okie DL bar, a
Texas power bar, a custom-made hip lift bar, a
2" bar, a 5' and a 6' bar), and plates (well over 1k pounds, I'm sure, including some
rubber plates), a power rack (which a rich history - it's from an NYC firehouse), squat stands, a couple of benches, a couple of
pullup bars, a
set of rings,
grippers,
hip/dip belts. And there's room enough for several people to train simultaneously - we've had 4 at a time pretty comfortably and 5 or 6 at some times. No music (except when my sons are lifting), no posters or anything else on the walls, just me, the cinder block walls, and some iron. And a separate spot elsewhere in the basement reserved for deadlifting - that's where the
Okie bar lives. 3/4" x 4' x 6' rubber mats over everything, several
apple boxes and sheets of 3/4" plywood in various sizes for elevated
ab wheel rollouts, doing deficit DL's, etc. The basement gym has a 9' ceiling so there's plenty of room for overhead lifting.
I've done some long-distance coaching as well. I very much enjoy coaching - if anyone's interested, please be in touch!
