A different breed of professional
athlete, United States Marines know better than anybody the value of
staying physically fit. For a Marine stationed in a remote Combat
Out-Post (COP) in Afghanistan or Iraq, the ability to maintain their
combat readiness can be the difference between life and death.
Thousands of Marines have already discovered how the TRX Suspension
Trainer solves the age-old problem of how to maintain a physical edge
during arduous months deployed in hostile territory, and with their
enthusiastic testimony, the buzz around the TRX continued to grow
last week at Marine South.
Marine South is an annual exposition
which showcases state-of-the-art technology systems and equipment
designed specifically for the U.S. Marine Corps. Attending for the
third year in a row, Fitness Anywhere’s exhibit quickly became the
talk of the show. Drawn in by the enthusiastic crowd, Marines were
able to experience first-hand the intensity of a suspension training
workout, guided by Ed, Kenny and Alex, members of Fitness Anywhere’s
military team. Yet the most telling and impressive endorsements of
the TRX came not from the FAI team, but from the Marines themselves.
Countless Marines stopped by to relate the success they’d had with
the TRX, whether they’d anchored it to an LAV in northern Iraq, in
their COP in Afghanistan, or onboard a Navy amphibious ship floating
in the Arabian Gulf.
With the stirring testimony from the
field and the obvious benefits of the TRX on full display, hundreds
of Marines, and the Navy Corpsmen who fight alongside them,
discovered for themselves the value of the TRX and suspension
training. It was yet another great week at Camp Lejeune, and the
Fitness Anywhere team continues to look forward to helping Marines
maintain their combat readiness as they deploy to Afghanistan, Iraq,
and other hot-spots around the world.
