TRX classes a hit!

Iron Heart transformed the yoga studio into a TRX training facility in January to offer an alternative method of strength training in a group format.  If you are looking to build strength and core fitness, TRX suspension training is a fantastic way to challenge your muscles using a simple training tool.  January was a month to teach new people "the ropes" and "get the hang" of training with TRX suspension cables.  As you learn the techniques and build your strength we continue to add new twists and increase the intensity - if you would like to try but aren't sure if it is for you, contact the office to arrange a demonstration or consultation with one of our Kinesiology training staff to learn how training with the TRX straps works.  In as little as 30 minutes you can have a complete conditioning routine completed with options to compliment this workout with the use of the cardio studio next door.

TRX classes will continue to run Monday to Friday with options to sign up for once per week, twice per week, three times per week or drop in rates - but please call ahead to ensure there is room, we can only accommodate 8 people per class.

Rated the "Best total body tool" by Men's Health and "the greatest piece of function fitness equipment that exists" (New Orleans Saints NFL Quarterback Drew Brees), this is the equipment and training program classes used by Athletes such as Michael Phelps, and LaDanian Tomlinson, performers such as  Mary J Blige and Jennifer Lopez.  But the TRX is not restricted for those already in great shape - it can be used by everyone to get into great shape.

“Thanks to the TRX, I got some really great workouts with my contestants this season. Watching them be challenged by working on something that requires such core strength, as well as shear FULL body strength, I knew I had a great piece of equipment on my hands. I really LOVE this piece of equipment!!!" Bob Harper, Trainer, The Biggest Loser

Created by former US Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick this seemingly simple training device creates some of the most effective and efficient total body workouts with an extreme focus on core strength.  The TRX eliminates boring ineffective workouts and inspires you to achieve your best.  Best of all it works for all ages and abilities and can be quickly adjusted to create the right intensity for everyone.  At Iron Heart we’ve already used the TRX with teenagers to octogenarians, and triathletes to cardiac bypass survivors.
