Getting to look like Bradley Cooper or Emma Stone is no easy feat, but celebrity trainer Jason Walsh definitely makes it achievable at his Rise Nation climbing gym in West Hollywood. Jason has worked with a lot of well-known names in the entertainment industry, including Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Jessica Biel and Rise Nation is his latest endeavor in bringing all those high-end workouts to the general public.
Why climbing? Because it works upper and lower muscle groups together, that way you don’t have to just focus on one muscle group at a time and it minimizes impact on bones and joints. It’s a full-body intense workout in 30 minutes. Yes, that’s right! The class is only 30 minutes, but don’t be fooled you will work off over 500 calories during those 30 minutes.
Whether your goal is to look like Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne or the lean and fit Jessica Biel, Jason Walsh and Rise Nation will get you there in no time. And the benefits are endless:
The climber keeps your body always in an upright position. We spend so much time driving, sitting at a computer, sitting on the sofa, just plain sitting, that it’s nice to have a workout that requires your body not only to be upright, but also be in a perfect posture.
There is no impact on your joints and muscles. The movement is very fluid and doesn’t add any stress to your ankles, knees, hips or upper body.
There is no learning curve. Sure, there are rules about using the machine and the instructor will go over them before you start class, but there’s nothing to learn. All you have to do is get on the climber and start climbing.
Works well for both beginners and advanced people. First time doing it? Take the intensity all the way down and go a little slower. A veteran at it? Crank it up and make it harder so you burn more.
Builds up your neural networks. Every time you perform a movement that requires you to use opposite parts of the body in sync, it spikes up your neurological activity and supports neural plasticity needed for all hand eye coordination movements.
There’s a reason all those celebrities look so good and with Rise Nation your celebrity body is closer than you think.
