Put the kettle on
Some trends are slower to take off than others.
Like kettlebell weights. They were used by Russian weightlifters 100 years ago and now we’re seeing them more and more in Vancouver. The just-opened Body Function Studio offers muscle-torturing kettlebell classes for newbies like us ($17 drop-in). After a session filled with popping and thrusting and swinging what is essentially a cannonball with a handle, we were feeling it in muscles we didn’t even know we had.
But we didn’t sweat it—the studio offers indulgent massages too. —Kelsey Dundon
