Industrial Strength London is a collective of diverse trainers that deliver heavy-duty strength and conditioning ideas, concepts and programmes to help its clients excel in their chosen pursuits.  It has been active in London since 2001 and every 6 weeks the individuals involved get together for an open-to-all training session.  What makes these sessions unique (apart from the fact that they have been run free since their inception) is that the agenda for the day is often created on the spot, drawing form the enthusiasm and knowledge of the individuals present.  With world class athletes and coaches in the ranks this always makes for an interesting mix.  The sessions themselves are organised by Jon Lewis of Balance Physiotherapy, Clapham.  Jon has an impeccable background in functional application of strength, conditioning and athleticism in real-world settings.  This Saturday past myself, Jon and CJ Swaby got to work on a session of Jon's devising.  Just over an hour in and what you have left is in the photo above!  The workout was a real revelation, featuring a dizzying array of movement patterns, many of which were new to me.  If you would like a look at what we did, have a look at Jon's Blog.  More importantly, if you want to join us for the next session (set for March 9th) get in touch with Jon at his site below.
