Thanks Navy SEAL’s!

The recent Navy SEAL rescue effort that involved the killing of Pirates and saving Captain Richard Phillips off the coast of Somalia is an incredible testament to the capability of our Navy SEAL teams. My personal interaction with Navy SEAL’s has left me with a deep admiration for their ability to push themselves beyond normal human limits. SEAL’s are an inspiration to me when it comes to fitness, teamwork, preparation and overcoming challenges.

I played volleyball in college with a former Navy SEAL, worked to promote the Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge in Los Angeles and am an avid user of the TRX Suspension Trainer – a lightweight, portable functional fitness tool for the entire body that was originally created in Navy SEAL teams by Randy Hetrick, former squadron commander in SEAL teams and current CEO of Fitness Anywhere. What’s also impressive about Randy and his invention is that he recieved his MBA from Stanford after his military tenure and used that time to continuously refine his concept for TRX so that it would be a viable fitness product offering for people of all ages and fitness abilities – Mission Accomplished Randy!!!

Thanks Navy SEAL’s for being among the best our U.S. military has to offer…and for kicking ass – you rock!

The View From the Bay: Nice piece on TRX

San Fransisco is a city where the cost for space is at a premium. Working out at a well-equiped fitness facility might come at a premium cost as well…and it might be inconvenient to keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle. The San Fransisco-based company Fitness Anywhere came up with a solution for anyone looking to achieve a full-body workouts in tight quarters. Heck, the product was even created by a former Navy SEAL looking for a way he and his SEAL buddies could stay in shape regardless of their environment – enter the TRX.

Check out this TV clip that just aired on The View From the Bay to get an idea of what Suspension Training is all about. If you decide this is worth a try you can click HERE for more information or to buy TRX.
