About

Welcome to Circular Strength Training New York. My name is Dean McCormick and I am a certified CST Instructor and CST Kettlebell Specialist. CST is the fitness system developed by Coach Scott Sonnon. Over the last ten years or so CST has evolved and reached a level of sophistication that far surpasses most, if not all of what would be considered “mainstream fitness”. I’ve tried a lot of different training modalities over the years moving from one to another for various reasons. When I came across CST it was like discovering another life-form. It didn’t take long for me to realize there was something unique and brilliant about the entire system. I jumped in head-first and after a short time I became addicted to the well planned and very challenging programs that Coach Sonnon had developed. Each one of these programs plays a part in the deep (deeper than I’d ever imagined) CST system.

CST is a mixture of ancient and modern exercise “technology”. There are elements of yoga which I have practiced on and off many years. Clubbell training, an ancient form of exercise I had seen in videos but had never tried because I didn’t know where to get the equipment or how to go about learning. And lastly,  joint mobility, which I had recently discovered but wasn’t quite sure how to practice in a way that made sense. Now, at 46 years old after practicing CST for about two and a half years I feel healthier, stronger, and can move better than I did when I was in my 30′s.

As a recently certified CST Instructor my goal is to help others who are looking to make improvements in their health through a form of training that is fun, effective, and sustainable. I feel the CST system is the best way to reach your fitness goal no matter what your current condition is.

If you live on Long Island, and are interested in learning more about this approach to fitness  please contact me so we can set up a free introductory CST training session at my in home fitness studio. I would love to share what I have learned with others who are interested in a health and fitness system that I consider to be the finest there is.
