Make Your Body Your Machine : 40/40 Challenge

TRX ROCKED IDEA 2009!

Fitness Anywhere — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 00:16:00 GMT

TRX ROCKED IDEA! A big thank you to all who stopped by, attended our sessions and showed us love at the 2009 IDEA World Fitness Conference in Anaheim California. Over 1000 people from around the world experienced the TRX and participated in early morning workouts, conference workshops and/or mid-day sessions. We owe a thanks to Multitrax for not showing up as we were able to take over their booth space with our S-Frame enabling over 50 trainers to work out together.

Thanks to our master trainers, Fraser Quelch, Jonathan Ross, Leigh Crews and Bill Sonnemaker who led our successful conference workshops with over 120 people per session in attendance. If you attended one of the sessions and signed up for the notes, you will receive a follow up email with details.

After the morning sessions, the booth continued to buzz with TRX Body Blast, Circuit Training and Flexibility sessions all day long thanks to Dan, Kim and Ann.

TRX at IDEA World Fitness Conference 09

Fitness Anywhere — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:05:00 GMT

It is only day 1 (well, day 1.5) and the TRX is getting a huge response at the 2009 IDEA World Fitness Conference in Anaheim California.

People are coming from all over the world to participate in 5 days of fitness, education and just good old fashion fun. Fitness Anywhere is right there with them providing a little of all three. This morning, Fraser Quelch and Jonathan Ross had over 100 attendees at their TRX Circuits for Metabolic Training. The booth has been very busy with people stopping by and taking on the 40/40 challenge (we'll have more photos and videos at the end of the event). It has been so busy that we hardly have time to breath. We're getting a workout keeping everything going.

If this first day is any indication of what's to come, will be an exciting weekend.

40/40 Champions @ NSCA

Fitness Anywhere — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 05:13:00 GMT

Our TRX 40/40 Challenge brought out the bold, the cocky, the strong and the scrappy. By the end of the three day NSCA expo we met a lot of amazing people and gave away 15 TRX’s! We didn’t give them away easily; winners had to complete 40 Atomic Pushups, and 40 Low Rows with only a minute rest in between sets. We knew this conference would bring out a number of premier athletes and we were not disappointed.

The FREE TRX booth drawing lucky winner is: Alexi Pumarejo from Cirque du Soleil. Congratulations!

Our NSCA 40/40 Challenge superstars include:

Noom Sirimaturos

We were so excited by our female winner, we didn’t catch her name. Very impressive!

LaBarron Smith

Kiyotaka Komatsu from Japan

Joel Lee, Eric Kamikura, Nathan Shintani

With all the clamor to know how Randy and Fraser did on the 40/40 I thought it would be fun to show folks how one of the behind-the-scenes folks at Fitness Anywhere handled it. My name’s Charlie Robb. I work in operations and finance at the company. I was the civilian test monkey for the military fitness guide, back when it was being developed, so I’m used to getting put through the ringer on the TRX. I put up some pretty good numbers this time, but am looking for a 30 % bump next month.

Will Randy Hit 50/50?

by Randy Hetrick, Founder and CEO

Rumor is, there's some interest from the TRX Community members regarding my first go at the TRX 40/40 Challenge. While I wish I had more stellar results to report, my first outing brought 43/34--a score that was ok but not super satisfying to me. (At least the video shows that I held decent form!) The test told me that I've been spending more time working than working-out lately, an imbalance that I aim to fix this month. My new goal is to join the 50/50 Club come August. Wish me luck! Thanks for all your support and enthusiasm for TRX Suspension Training.

Best, Randy

TRX Team: Holden’s Heroes Escape’d! +40/40 Challenge Continues…

Fitness Anywhere — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:02:00 GMT

I’m sure you have all heard of Escape from Alcatraz, but I’m not talking about the movie. This past Sunday, over 2,000 competitors came out to compete in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon and TRX Team "Holden’s Heroes" came in 3^rd (relay category). This is no small feat! Here’s how it went down… Holden, our graphic designer and swim competitor jumped off the boat next to Alcatraz and swam 1.5miles to shore in :38 minutes. Our summer intern Jordan followed by beasting the hills of San Francisco with a 18 mile ride in :56 minutes and Jon, VP of Mktg closed the deal with an 8 mile run including the pain-staking sand ladder off Baker Beach in :59 minutes….and they owe it all to their TRX training. J

(No, this child was not one of our competitors but the other teammates had already hit the bar).

Well, for all those spectators that were not ready to jump in the Bay, Team TRX was set up in the expo area putting the 40/40 Challenge to the test. Many tried, many were humbled, few won.

Our winners included: Keith Lee, David Phillips, Russ Nimm, Michael Coughlan

Thanks to all that came out and participated. And for those of you still striving for the 40/40 Club, keep up the good work!
