The Navy Seal Story Behind the TRX Strap

Have you tried TRX yet? Do you know the history behind TRX?

The TRX System is an innovative suspension training system developed by U.S. Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick. In 1997, Hetrick was deployed overseas on a counter-piracy mission.  He needed a way to stay fit in a remote warehouse with no exercise equipment. He rigged up a device using a jiu-jitsu belt and parachute webbing slung over a door and used it to do exercises such as pull-ups and curls. The system was effective and Hetrick ultimately brought it to the mainstream market.

TRX is one of our favorite ways to improve multiple skills throughout the entire body. It engages your core and improves mobility and stability, increases metabolic results, builds lean muscle, and develops functional strength. If you'd like to see the straps in action, join us for our trainer-led program, Riverside Extreme.
