    Why I Deserve a Gym in a Bag

    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.

    I am 55 years old woman, living in Iowa, and have over 100 pounds to lose so I need all the assistance I can get. After watching the TRX system on the Biggest Loser, I feel this gym in a bag is just what I need to accomplish my goal.

    I also have over 100 pounds to lose.  I am a 39 year old female with fibromyalgia, a lower back injury from a car accident, and was just diagnosed with beginning arthritis in my knees.  I think the suspension system would be just the thing I need.  Having the stress off of my joints while exercising would make all the difference in the world! Angel Thank you for your consideration with this awesome opportunity to win a Gym in a Bag!

    I'd take full advantage of this great training tool.  With a few months of winter left, the gym in a bag will work great indoors.  When the summer months around the bend, these would provide an awesome outdoor workout.

    I have been trying for 8 years to lose weight so that I can get my PCOS(polycystic ovarian syndrome) in check so my husband and I can have a child we have wanted so much.  PCOS has a vicious cycle, it makes you have trouble losing any type of weight without a serious struggle, and in turn that makes you feel like it was all in vain.  I am going to be a new "recruit" in an outdoor bootcamp soon and I would love to incorporate this into my workouts.   I want to be the sexy airforce wife my husband used to have, please help me get my soldier his sexy wife back and help me to start our family a healthy way.

    Re: Why I Deserve a Gym in a Bag

    I am a 29 year old mom of a 2 year old boy who is very active and I am also a full time student with a full time job. I have over 100 pounds to lose and would love to use this gym in a bag to accomplish this goal and still be able to spend time with my son. I used to be a gym rat so to speak but I no longer can do this. After I saw the TRX on the Biggest Loser, I know this gym in a bag would help me reach my goal without sacrificing my famuly life.

    My husband is self employed and due to the economy I had to cancel my memberships for the gym.  I need the total gym to help me loose the sixty pounds I've gained and get my life back to normal. Please pick me for the TRX I need it.

    I am a stay at home mom with 3 young kids and it has been hard for me to get back in shape!!  It would be a great to have something I could do at home when I can find the time.  It would truly help me feel better and that would help me be a better mom.

    After watching The Biggest Loser, I think the TRX Training system will help me cross-train for triathlons!

    Re: Why I Deserve a Gym in a Bag

    I live in a small home in a small town with 2 small boys and a husband in school full time. I have made the push to start a new healthier life and go to the local public school every morning to use their small gym. I want to achieve a level of fitness that I don't think I have every had. I want my boys to live the life I envision for myself. I want to enjoy my life, to run without feeling like I'm dying. I want to show my husband that he can do it too, that with determination and effort it will happen and he too can be fit. I want to look in the mirror and see LESS of me to love! I so badly want to be the fit mom who can run with her boys to help them play soccer. Already I work out everyday, hard....with a heart rate monitor to make sure I am pushing myself hard enough. I feel like if I do not conquer this now I will be losing the war against my bulge. The TRX is a step further that can allow me to continue to sculpt my body into the body I imagine. Please help me to help myself. I will sing the praises of the TRX to all who have ears to hear.

    50 words or less what I would do for my own 'gym in a bag'

    I would ignore my hip/back/knee issues to do 100 consecutive kartwheels for a "Gym in a Bag"; then once I could walk properly again I would proceed to use it to locate my abs + ass under the flab that has accumulated over them due to injuries/babies.
    I will find my abs and ass under that flab...I WILL. My injuries will not stop me.

    Re: Why I Deserve a Gym in a Bag

    I spend a lot of time at work and some days are longer than others. If I had a TRX I would be able to bring it to work and use it here and take it home and use it there as well. I spend too much time sitting at my desk and this would be great to help get me up and out of my chair....even if for a few minutes at a time through out the day.
