The PROJECT instructor shares his go-to workout songs, regen practices, and more

Whether it’s a side hustle or some other creative pursuit, every high performer needs a passion—and a project. That’s the idea behind the new PROJECT by Equinox. It’s a “creative space for fitness rebels” in downtown Manhattan where breakthrough fitness talent creates innovative workouts ranging from The Sculpt Society (a total-body cardio workout that incorporates light weights and sliders) to The Ultimate Runner’s Workout (drills and unilateral exercises to improve speed, agility, and balance). Over the course of six weeks, Furthermore is introducing you to several of PROJECT’s top trainers who are challenging you to move differently. This week we’re featuring Kenneth Ferrer.

What’s your signature exercise?

My signature exercise move is the dumbbell snatch.

What was the inspiration behind your class at PROJECT?

My class was formatted using specific kinds of HIIT, strength, and power training to be an extremely effective, stress-relieving, and empowering experience. My goal is always to make people feel awesome about themselves when they leave the room. I know that the confidence one can gain from my class can directly correlate to other areas of life: I aim to make someone their best both inside and out.

What are the top three songs on your workout playlist?

“Move Bitch (Defreakz Bootleg)” by Ludacris, “Everybody Needs a Man (Michael Truitt Video Edit)” by Offer Nissim, and “Let Me Love You (Filipe Guerra Remix)” by DJ Filipe Guerra.
