History
Established in 2007.
Hello,
My name is Jodi Molitor and I am the owner of 180 Kettlebell Gym & Fitness.
My journey into kettlebells started from a back injury that I couldn't find relief from. Physical Therapy, chiropractor, massage, prescription medicine, nothing gave me relief. I stumbled into a kettlebell class being held in a local nutrition supplement store back room one day after a physical therapy session, and within 2 weeks I was rehabbed and hooked on kettlebells.
So I researched the best place to become a certified kettlebell instructor and ended up going out to Rhode Island to Anthony Dilugilio's certification program.
I first started teaching classes at the nutrition store where I was rehabbed, then when it closed I started in the backyard by inviting friends from the neighborhood to workout with me (Jodi Molitor the owner of 180). In the winter we would workout in my basement! It grew to 17 people and we needed a place larger than my house could provide.
Let it begin.
Meet the Business Owner: Jodi M.
I have done everything to manage my weight, swimming, running, roller blading, diets, and after three kids I was at the end of my frustration.
I stumbled into a kettlebell class by accident ? by design?? (read History above) The results were phenomenal. In 2 weeks my back pain /injury was gone and the strength I gained quickly was amazing. My body started changing after the first three weeks and kept changing. It was exhilarating having inches leave never to return. I had more energy, was happier, and was even buying a whole new wardrobe!
I discovered the missing key...
Kettlebells are a total body tool and are great for working the big core muscles, glutes, quads, lats. The stronger these muscles are, the more energy they require to run. This turns our body into a fat burning furnace.
More muscle = less fat and the kettlebell with its off-centered center of gravity was just the tool for this job.
My passion is to share this gift/key with others like myself.
