As far as I can tell, this is the most "official" thread for this sort of discussion - so may I add a suggestion or request? It might be really handy to offer the FitDeck cards as an app for the iphone/touch. It would be cool if they could add an auditory component for each card that helped you could out the reps and time the pause between sets. Maybe a simple drag & drop could let people design their own program and a shuffle option could keep it fresh for the regulars.

I love this product and would welcome any innovations they come up with!

Cheers!

I was abel to do this recently and love it. Going from watching the DVD then to the park with the book was a pain, now my workouts will never be the same.

I am an avid MTB rider and I am on the BST several times a week. That would be a fun thing to head up from both sides, and work out on top with the Bands. You tell me what day works for you... I will be in Park City all week hiking, biking and playing with my 3 little boys and my wife, but the following week I am available! I too have made PERSONAL USE copies of the videos for my iPhone and iPods and find it the best possible way to do the workouts with a coach in my ear, it pushes me far beyond my own strengths! Spencer

Sounds fun.

Yeah, can definitely do that. I still have to get a tune up on my bike though, it's all jacked up, so I'd have to hike it. I usually go hiking Monday's, Wednesday's, and Fridays, as I do metabolic conditioning on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But if one of those days doesn't work for you, I suppose I can make an exception once.

I typically use Imtoo DVD Ripper to convert to whatever format I want. I usually convert to mov avi or mp4. You can check it out at http://www.imtoo.com. But yes, the federal copyright law has a stipulation you may create a copy for PERSONAL USE. It's when you start to bootleg them that Big Bubba is going to chase you with a double headed battle axe!

Spencer, good to know we have another community member in the general Salt Lake vacinity! Maybe one of these days I can go on the BST from City Creek Canyon to Bountiful and meet up with you there and do some TRX workouts!

I am hoping that FA is still working on more convenient ways to get DVDs or workouts onto handheld devices. I know this post originally went up 7 months ago...

Worked like a charm. Thanks. It probably would have helped if I had read the readme document.

I use the toggle out feature and just do it for the iPhone setting... simple enough and works every time! Spencer

I am so glad I came across this post! I definitely look forward to seeing further updates on this topic. Perhaps we'll be able to see something in the App Store on iTunes soon?? Thanks FA!

They have never gotten in the way yet, I did the entire 12 week Force Training with them and LOVED IT! I did need to to it with my laptop for the first few weeks, but once I had it down I just wanted Fraiser talking in my ear to help me keep count and tell me what was coming up next so I could be on autopilot in the brain. (Just had the body ON FIRE!) I love using the wireless, thus why I will put the programs on my regular iPod with itsy bitsy screen ;-)

I'll give the Handbrake method a try. I really liked the Winter workout preview since I could put it on my iPhone. Spencer- Do you find the blue tooth headphones get in the way? I'm intrigued by that idea. Thanks

I love using my iPhone for my workouts. Because you are using the video for your personal use, it should not be in violation of the user agreement to put the video in digital format to use on your iPod or iPhone. (Be smart and honest and don't share the digital file, make people buy their own and that way we can all continue to enjoy the best workout tool on the planet! You would only cheat yourself, keep buying the DVD's and it gives FA a reason to make more, KEEP EM COMING!) That being said I am a Mac user and I use Handbrake as mentioned above and put them in the format best viewed on my iPhone. I can have Force Training or All Body Xpress or my brand new Train Like the Pros (so excited for this one) on my iPhone and in my pocket for a workout anywhere and any day!!! I have them on my iPod and use that for my regular everyday workouts BECAUSE I use the Motorola S9 bluetooth wireless headphones and they have yet to get them working on the iPhone (which BLOWS my mind), but that way I have a "Coach In The Ear" as I work out solo...
