Learn About TRX from 12,00 Feet Up

Howdy…

I am actually chatting to you from around 12,000 feet in the air. I have been in Colorado this week visiting my oldest daughter and grandchildren. I must say the weather was optimal for running, but I did not pack my running shoes. Not sure I could have run as the length of my visit was minimal, so I focused my time on my daughter and grandchildren. The trails and many groomed paths looked awesome for running though! Another time.

I am really excited with the progress we are making with installing multiple fully functional TRX systems. Possibly by the end of the coming week we will have the multiple suspension systems available for small group class programing to begin the development stage.

What is TRX?

Navy Seal Randy Hetrick needed a way to maintain the demanding fitness level required of a Seal member while often in limited space to do so. On one particular mission he was holed up in a small room for a considerable amount of time and he rigged a suspension system out of a jiu jitsu belt and some parachute webbing. Combining suspension and his body weight, even in the limited space he was able to adequately able to workout. Hetrick began utilizing the mesh straps and the help of the skills of the parachute shop to continuously improve the suspension system. His unique body weight suspension invention became a favorite of his fellow Seal members for staying fit. Hetrick eventually left the military and earned his MBA from Stanford University and develops the first of @TRX Suspension Training.

TRX essentially uses an individual’s body weight to supply all the resistance needed to develop or maintain muscle. Body angle and position allow the individual to increase or decrease the level of difficulty. As a qualified TRX trainer, I like having the ability to allow the individual to choose their level of difficulty, while offering suggestions when they are struggling or need to be challenged more.

The most challenging aspect of TRX is just getting comfortable with using the straps. To help with this and to provide the best possible experience, we offer one on one sessions and will also have pre-class periods of instruction. We will not want anyone feeling uneasy about the equipment while they are going through a workout. Also, our beginner classes will be a great way for those who feel they want a slower pace class to get comfortable with. We will make sure no one ever feels uncomfortable with participating in any of our classes. TRX is an awesome and effective workout experience for all ages and levels. Safe and fun!

Currently we are offering individual and partner TRX training, and in March we will expand to small group classes. Contact us at info@nofinishlinefitness.com if you would like a free introduction workout, or more information.

I will say goodbye for now. I hope you enjoyed learning about TRX!

God Bless!
