Why I need Gym in a Bag

CindyBosch — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 07:52:35 GMT

My partner and I are both trying to lose weight the right way. I have lost 50lbs and she has lost 30lbs, I still have another 87lbs I'd like to lose and my partner would also like to lose another 50lbs. We don't have the money to go to a gym but use the resources that we can get our hands on. This would be awesome for both of us and for our daughter to get her exercising also.

Thank you for considering my request.

Hello,

Our country has a major problem that unfortunately is stemming from a very young age. As a youth football coach, I see more children coming into camp out of shape and it is very sad. The TRX is a great way for kids to be safely introduced to a strength and conditioning program. Many of my players have seen me working with the TRX System at the field with my son and have become very interested in what we were doing. If I am selected I would use the TRX with our players to introduce them to basic excercise and show them how to have fun with the system and to show their parents how easy it is to get their children excited to excercise.

I am a 37 year old mother of four who works full time. Over the years I've put on qite a bit of extra weight--until I was about 50 pounds overweight. About 6 months ago, I began a cardio regime and have lost 35 pounds, but now I need to focus on toning and firming my body. Unfortuntely I spend hours at the gym or outside running, so I would love to be able to get my workouts in at home where I can spend more time with my children. I am committed to losing my last 15 pounds and maintaining a healthier lifestyle, and the TRX (and making my body my machine) would definitely get me there.

I am a 53 year old, wife, hockey mom, full-time nursing student and take care of my elderly mom who lives with us. With all my obligations it is next to impossible for me to find time for a work-out. After seeing Gym in a Bag on the "Biggest Loser", the only show I watch,and yes I study while I watch, I thought that would be perfect for me. Portable, takes up no room, time efficent , and what a great work-out. Being a Nursing student I understand the importance of physical fitness. Not just the physical health benefits but the mental health benefits that go with a good workout. I would love to have a Gym in the Bag to help me stay in shape. By being in good physical health I set a better example to my patients.

Thanks!

Is this contest still active?

fitgirl-atx — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:27:06 GMT

I'm confused as to whether or not this competition is still active since the grand prize winner was announced at the beginning of April? I remember reading in one of the weekly winner posts that this contest was running through the end of March. However, the contest description is ambiguous. Please let us know if we can continue to participate in the Gym-in-a-Bag contest or if it's over.

Thanks!

Why I deserve a gym in a bag!

2bg — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:05:54 GMT

I am a 26 year old stay at home mom to three. My husbands father died at 52 and because of that we have been commited to living a healthier life. DH works 12 hour shifts 5 days a week so this makes it next to impossible to go to the gym for either of us. He is also 6'5" and he can't just use cheap in home equipment. I know the TRX could be something we could do together and would fit us both.

Bowflex? Total Gym? Who needs these machines when you have a TRX! After seeing the TRX on The Biggest Loser, I need the gym in a bag. My goal is to run a marathon and this is the core training I need. Pick me to make my body my machine.

Why I deserve a Gym-in-a-Bag

fitgirl-atx — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 01:40:53 GMT

I have been a fitness professional and personal enthusiast for the past 11 years. I was a sedentary child & teenager, but as a young adult, I learned to appreciate and eventually love the art of fitness. I enjoy working hard to transform my body and improve my personal level of wellness and health; I love the discipline it takes to become my personal best. I love the art of functional fitness. I have participated in body building & figure competitions in the past, and it wasn’t until I moved into more functional training that I realized how inhibitive training for those sports was. I have embraced kettlebell & sandbag training since 2005. Unfortunately, my body has run into an incredible obstacle over the past 1.5 years due to a bought with adrenal fatigue and stress-induced exhaustion. Despite my current physical limitations, I am a still a sponge in this industry. Although I train slowly and differently now as I battle this syndrome, my , appreciation, and respect developed by the constant challenge of pushing myself to be the best possible “me” I can be have drawn me to the art of suspension training. Overcoming obstacles is not only a part of life, adversity is a part of one’s individual training evolution. Dealing with and (eventually) overcoming physical challenges are part of the process. “Live. Work hard. Train harder. Never Give Up.” These are the ways I live (and train) my life.

Please help me continue on my pursuit for improved health and ultimately overcoming my current obstacles by awarding me with a well deserved gym-in-a-bag!

Congrats Almost40. We look forward to see the body painting and hopefully the TRX will help you get your body in the shape you desire!

Gym in a bag contest!!

judoka01 — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 17:10:15 GMT

I've decided to get back in shape but hate conventional weight training programs and big box gyms. So I signed up for Indoor rock climbing and judo classes. I would love to have a TRX to train with and get the body weight endurance/strength needed to compete and get back in shape along with let others at my gym try it out. So send me a gym in a bag and help me and others at my gym get TRX FIT!

foldup comic — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 01:34:14 GMT

So I need a gym in a bag! Believe it or not, I'm a professional comedian/contortionist. I was born with a skeletal condition called Cleidocranial Dysplasia (primarily, a lack of collarbones) and I've spent years finding ways to make myself stronger, while enhancing an already freakish flexibility. The TRX suspension trainer looks like it was tailor-made for me!

What would I do for a Gym in a Bag

Clicksand — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 17:11:17 GMT

I am looking forward to spending time outside biking, and using the TRX Suspension training system. The TRXwould be a great fit for me because I can use in inside when it is cold, but when the weather gets nice, I can enjoy it even during my workout.

mrsmum_2k — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:26:32 GMT

I would become an example for my family and friends of what dedication and a responsible lifestyle change can do for a 27 year old mother who is eager to start the journey to being in the best shape of her life and getting her husband to join the bandwagon.

Congratulations to katgargoyle as the first random winner of the "Gym in a Bag" contest. We look forward to hearing how you integrate the TRX into your training regimen.

"I deserve a TRX as I have devoted my life to public safety, in the military, and in law enforcement. As a female, I try to set a higher standard, but due to shiftwork am sometimes unable to use gyms. I would be able to implement the TRX training immediately."

Thanks to all the community members who have posted for this contest. We will continue to select random winners once a week through the end of March.

Hoping to be the lucky TRX winner!

BRog — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 20:13:17 GMT

As a busy professional, I have to travel a lot which makes it difficult to stick to the aggresive fitness goals I've set for myself - I want to get back in to the shape I was in while competing in college 15 years ago! I believe when I reach these fitness goals I will reach several other personal goals. The TRX would be a great partner - especially when battling jet lag and lack of hotel gyms that I often encounter in Europe. Thanks!!!

What I would do for my own Gym In A Bag...

NROzzy — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 20:39:15 GMT

I just turned the big 4-0... and I'm FAT (which means I've got the body weight to maximize the TRX!!!) ! After growing up active in a healthy home, the extra weight just kind of snuck up on me. Turning 40 makes me want to feel like the kid on the monkey bars again. I want to be adventurous, try something new and tell people all about it! I want to BE stronger than I LOOK. The TRX is just the thing to help me do that! Thanks TRX Suspension Training, for providing a tool that really can be used anywhere, anytime and by anybody!

I need a Gym in a Bag to help me lose 20 pounds before my 20th High School class reunion. I started the year by establishing a new workout routine and I am ready for something new. Also, I have used Jillian Michaels's videos and now I want to try something that Bob Harper uses :)

ready to lose, finally

maryreadytolose — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 03:40:17 GMT

I have been obese all my life and finally after 11 months of dealing with insurance headaches, I am going to have gastric bypass. The TRX will be a great tool to help me in my journey by giving me a great and safe workout.
