The Sandbag is an under-utilized yet extremely versatile training tool that is perfect for use at home, outdoors, on vacation, or in your personal training gym. Essentially, sandbags allow you to train more effectively, anywhere you decide to workout.
We started using sandbags in our personal training business for their tremendous ‘bang for buck’ applications. Sandbags not only provided exercise solutions no other equipment offered; but with just ONE implement we could make improvements in core training exercises, injury rehabilitation and prevention, mobility, teaching exercise form to beginners, AND general power, strength and conditioning exercises for all ages and abilities.
Sadly, most people use sandbags incorrectly — and neglect most of the benefit this amazing equipment has to offer. Simply substituting a sandbag for a dumbbell or kettlebell in a traditional exercise, misses the point of what sandbags are designed to do for you and can even result in injury and user discomfort, annoyance and frustration.
Course Description

Instructor
Kari Negraiff
Envision Fitness Owner & Program Director
Former Master DVRT Sandbag Instructor, DVRT Level 1&2 certified, Kinesiologist, CSCS, SFG Lvl 1, FRC-R, FMS
I started my fitness coaching career as a kinesiologist in 2005. Despite my book-smarts in university, I soon learned I was ill-equipped to teach people how to exercise safely and reach their goals in the real world.
It turns out, coaching exercise goes far beyond a trainer’s ability to perform an exercise properly themselves. Clients often couldn’t repeat the exercise technique I’d shown them. Furthermore, most of the clients I worked with were injured, new to exercise, ‘not gym people’, and had low starting strength; they had a lot of things to consider and it felt like most exercises I knew, did more harm than good. The worst part was that my clients often blamed THEMSELVES for ‘not getting it right’, rather than my coaching ineptitude.
My lack of practical coaching skills fueled me to to constantly learn and improve. Seventeen years later, I am still continuously growing my skillset as a fitness coach, personal trainer and gym owner. I’ve attended countless certifications and workshops, read hundreds of books and taught several courses with the experience I’ve gained over the years. Opening and growing our personal training business for the last 12 years has been the greatest testament to my growth as a coach.
I love to learn, and to teach, but most of all I am driven to help people quickly grow confident in how to perform and coach exercise safely and effectively.
I’ve always felt I’ve come closest to realizing my potential as an athlete, student, coach and entrepreneur when I’ve had a guide or mentor to believe in me and gently show me the way as I grow my skills. I like people to feel supported on their journey, and I take pride in being their coach and mentor.
