When I moved back to Portsmouth, NH this summer, my first order of business (after hitting the beach) was to find a gym. A quick Google search told me that a gym nearby offered a 7-day free trial, so I decided I'd go and give it a shot (0:00).
That gym? Seacoast Kettlebell: A hugely popular gym in seacoast NH with a cult-like following.
Voted by Men's Health as one of the top 50 gyms in the United States, SKB provides high-quality workouts with high-quality equipment and most importantly, high-quality coaches.
Two of those coaches, SKB founder Colin McGarty and head coach Luke Dinwoodie, join me from their Dover, NH location to chat about the following:
- Why McGarty founded the gym 14 years ago (2:55)
- How SKB helped Dinwoodie get sober (10:20)
- Why kettlebells provide an insanely good -- yet very underutilized -- form of working out (14:00)
- The ideal workout schedule for anyone who wants to get more fit (15:30)
- Advice for aspiring business owners (24:13)
- Why SKB's clients stuck with the gym during the COVID-19 pandemic and what the guys attribute that to (28:30)
And so much more!
