How did you first hear about the TRX?
I first heard about the TRX from West Point graduate, Tom Keane. I would have never guessed that a West Point grad would lead me to a life-changing piece of equipment. When he introduced me to the TRX Force Kit, I was hooked! Suspension Training has completely changed my body composition.
What excited you most about the TRX?
I am excited about the TRX Force Kit because I can take my workout with me! Whether I am traveling for business or vacation I am able to get an intense workout without having to find a gym.
How have you incorporated the TRX into your workout routine/lifestyle?
I get my TRX workout in my lunch hour. I do not have to waste time in transit to the gym. I always have my TRX with me so there are no excuses and within my lunch hour I have “made my body my machine!”
Where do you typically workout using your TRX?
I typically workout on the TRX Force Kit outside. However, my favorite place to workout is at the TRX Training Center in San Francisco. The training staff make me hurt in ways I never thought possible!
What are your fitness goals?
I reached my first fitness goal while training on the TRX after a few months. I wanted to get to my college boxing weight. My new fitness goal is to maintain a body for life. For me fitness is not an occasional workout- it is a part of what makes me morally, mentally, and physically balanced.
How do you stay motivated?
I stay motivated by surrounding myself with driven friends and co-workers. They all workout very diligently and this has a positive effect on my own physical goals.
What does it mean to you to be fit and why do you think it is important?
Being fit means being a person of discipline. It is easy to skip a workout, but the disciplined person knows that physical exercise affects everything. By working out on the TRX I stay healthy and this makes me more efficient in all aspects of my life.
Anything else you would like to add?
The TRX is the most fun and effective way I have ever trained. Thanks Randy!!
