An All-American commissioning week at the Naval Academy

Fitness Anywhere’s own Dr. Joe Martin, along with Joe Knipp and Alex Roodhouse, the respective heads of Navy and Marine Corps Programs for FAI, introduced TRX Suspension Training to the Midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy this past week, helping to kick-off Commissioning Week activities for the graduating seniors. As the future leaders of the Navy and Marine Corps, the midshipmen embraced the opportunity to learn more about how the TRX is evolving physical training in the military, from forward deployed Marines and Navy Special Warfare personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the Cruisers and Destroyers sweeping the globe in pursuit of our nation’s enemies. One of the most physically fit groups of 18 to 22 year-old men and women anywhere in the world, the Brigade of Midshipmen at the Academy instantly recognized the value of suspension training, and hundreds of TRXs will soon be hanging from door-frames in Bancroft Hall and packed away in sea-bags this summer, as the Mid’s head all over the world to further their training as future officers. Fitness Anywhere is proud to support the men and women of the United States Armed Forces.

Marines in New Orleans Train on the TRX

On May 21st, Fitness Anywhere’s Ed Sortino and Dr. Joe Martin headed down to the “big easy” to do some hard-core TRX training with the Marines from Marine Forces Reserve (MARFORRES). During the intense 8-hour Military Suspension Training Course, the Marines learned how to use the TRX effectively, becoming familiar with the innovative principles and challenging progressions that make Suspension Training so powerful. The training day started with a cool breeze, quickly changing to New Orleans’ infamous humidity, and ended with a cloudy, ominous finish. But the changes in weather didn’t stop these Marines from putting out 100%; their excitement for TRX Suspension Training was overwhelming and contagious as each of them tried to outdo each other throughout the day. These leaders from MARFORRES are now equipped with the knowledge needed to design and implement military PT programs centered around the innovative and powerful TRX Suspension Training system.
