The Michael-Ann Russell JCC "Does It" in Groups!

Jan. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- The MAR-JCC is the latest place to adopt TRX Suspension Training, a method of functional training that develops strength, balance, flexibility and core stability simultaneously. It requires the use of the TRX® Suspension Trainer™, a highly portable performance training tool that leverages gravity and the user’s body weight to enable hundreds of exercises for every fitness goal. Created by Randy Hetrick, CEO of Fitness Anywhere and former Navy SEAL, the TRX was an invention of necessity for Hetrick and his SEAL teammates to maintain peak physical readiness while deployed in the field. The TRX has evolved into the ideal training tool for fitness instructors at the Michael-Ann Russell JCC to guide participants through bodyweight exercises to deliver a fun and challenging total-body workout.

Suspension Training bodyweight exercise allow users to self-adjust the amount of resistance they want, making it suitable for people of all fitness levels by making small changes in foot, hand, or body position; this capability empowers participants to continue with training, even when fatigue sets in. This versatility makes the TRX attractive to fitness enthusiasts of all levels.  

"We're very excited to bring TRX Suspension Training to our facility and feel that it is one of the great ways to differentiate ourselves from other JCC’s," said Nancy Carroll, Sports and Wellness Director for the MAR-JCC. "Integrating TRX training also allows us to maximize our space so we can provide more value to our members,” she added.

TRX training appeals equally to men and women of all fitness levels because users can precisely control how challenging they want each exercise to be,” said Dany Weil, President of IFIT Group Fitness, the company that conducts Spinning classes at the JCC, and will be leading the TRX Fitness training as well. "I know how today’s fast-paced lifestyle often makes it difficult to fit in a quality workout. With Suspension Training, you can get a fun, effective total body workout in 25 minutes. This makes it much easier for people to incorporate fitness into their daily lives."
