(engine whirring)
- [Male Voice] All done.
(hip hop music)
- This is what we get traveling to Zürich.
(hip hop music)
(exciting music)
- [Chris voiceover] Last time I was in Switzerland
was back in 2013.
I was 21 years old and beginning to figure out
where calisthenics would take me.
Not much has changed since then,
except that the seeds I had planted
before has started to bear fruit.
- Everyone grab something, let's go.
(background talking)
Once we had landed Wanu had hit us up
to go eat at one of his favorite spots.
- Where we gonna eat?
- It's called The Bite.
- [Chris voiceover] For the last 24 hours we had
access to nothing but airplane food,
things like bread and cheese.
I just decided to fast until we got settled in.
And I think the rest of the team did the same.
- The sky, man.
- [Male Voice] I like the weather here too.
- The sky is like completely different.
(mumbling)
- [Chris voiceover] We had arrived
at this place called The Bite. - Adriana, nice to meet you.
- [Chris voiceover] A burger joint that had served
me the best burger of my life.
(hip hop music)
The quality of ingredients here was well above
what we get back home in America.
- What do you think I should get, bro?
- I'm gonna get the burger.
- YOLO.
(mumbling)
- [Chris] That's the perfect meat,
caramelized onions, cooked to perfection.
I don't know what type of bread this is, but this is good.
The meat tastes so different.
(restaurant background noise)
- Thank you.
- [Waitress] Thank you so much guys.
- Thank you so much (mumbling).
So should we catch an Uber?
- [Male Voices] Yeah.
(distant howling voices)
- [Male Voice] Ooooh.
- What is that?
- That's normal here.
- [Chris] What is that?
- That's pretty much normal here.
(howling)
- (howling)
(laughter)
- Thank you.
(more laughter and mumbling)
- [Chris voiceover] After a long night of
editing and making music, we had gone to sleep
at 5 am and woke up a couple hours later
to start heading towards our workshop at the Bardog's gym.
(techno music)
Some things I thought were cool about Zürich:
the peacefulness, the simplicity in design and architecture.
- [Chris] Well how are you both?
- There's one guy up, they have no ticket
but he asked if he can do just a picture from you.
I think it's okay and then I have to say okay now.
- Come on. (laughs)
Oh my god, I see your videos like everyday, dude.
- Bro, thank you so much.
- You are an inspiration for everybody.
- Thank you bro, I appreciate it.
I like to make my workshops very applicable, you know.
As soon as I teach you something, you can apply it
and then you instantly feel the technique working.
You know what I'm saying?
And at the end, maybe you're going to come through
these doors not even being able to handstand
or even knowing how, but you're going to leave here
definitely being able to do a handstand.
You ready?
- Let's go.
- [Chris] Alright, everybody ready?
Let's get started.
- [Chris voiceover] This workshop was
all about front levers and back levers.
I was determined to have every
single person in here achieve their goals.
(hip hop music)
As soon as we warmed up we got right into it.
- [Chris] Now we are ready.
We're going to start off with some front levers.
Everybody ready?
- [Chris voiceover] The key point of this workshop
was that perfect practice makes perfect.
(upbeat electronic music)
You can practice something for years
and never achieve your dreams.
It's only when you begin to take the proven steps
that you start to make progress.
That's the difference between learning something
in a couple weeks that normally takes you a couple years.
It's only when you begin to take the proven steps
that you start to make progress.
These steps and progressions I have refined over the years
of trial, error, and experience,
is what I share with everyone here.
- The point of this is supposed to help your retake.
We're going to go into handstands.
- [Chris voiceover] The same steps it took
for me to get to where I am today.
(upbeat electronic music)
- [Chris] Lined up straight onto the bar.
You guys are trying to make water out of this bar.
(upbeat electronic music)
(background talking)
(applause)
Good workshop, it was a pleasure.
Zürich, you guys rock.
And if you want some THENX apparel,
my brother has over there, we've got wrist wraps,
shirts, and everything like that.
Guys, thank you so much, if you want to take a photo
I'll be right over here taking photos.
- I've been watching Chris and the whole team
for two years now and came here all the way from Romania,
so I did quite some traveling, but it was well worth it.
- (speaking in a foreign language) They are in five minutes.
- About five minutes, alright, peace out, it was fun Zürich.
Workshop was awesome.
- [Man] Thanks a lot.
(male voice singing)
- We got one last stop.
London, we're coming for you.
- [Chris voiceover] For the first time in three days
I had finally gotten some good rest.
(slow techno music)
I woke up early to enjoy the last
few moments I had in Switzerland.
The place we were staying at was super chill.
It's a shame we didn't have more time to enjoy it.
Traveling, teaching workshops, and just being away from home
starts to take a toll on your body.
So after a well needed recharge, we were ready
to head out and explore the city.
For more than six thousand years Zürich has been occupied.
Two thousand of those years as a city.
It's the largest city in Switzerland.
Out of all the countries we have visited,
each one had something unique that stood out to me.
Each country was original in its own way.
But what I have come to realize,
is that there's not one way of life that is best.
But rather, that there are great
qualities to learn from every culture.
That's why I feel like traveling is one of the most
beneficial things for self-growth.
We all become a product of our own environment.
So it's up to us to step out of that comfort zone
and venture off to discover more of ourselves.
- I can go some times like that.
(background talking)
- [Man] Do it the other way.
- 3, 2, 1.
(cameras clicking)
- That's it then.
Big risk, then big rewards.
Chocolatier.
- [Male Voice] Alright, see you.
(rhythmic piano music)
- [Chris voiceover] It was time
to catch our flight to London.
At this point, this was the routine.
Sometimes you gotta make the airport your office.
So from what I've gathered, knowledge is power.
I was able to take a team of seven
around the world for ten days.
All expenses paid.
Food, travel, accommodations,
all covered by the exchange of knowledge.
(rhythmic piano music)
(exciting preparation music)
- [Chris voiceover] Hey thanks for watching.
We just dropped the brand new Chino pant joggers
on chrisheria.com with a limited supply.
So shop them now to get them before we sell out.
Get ready for the final episode in London UK.
(bass sound of button clicking)
See you next Thursday.
- Smash that light button guys.
