Introducing the TRX Functional Suspension training system at Rockbrook Women’s Gym! It’s not just for the marines, it’s for those of you who are serious about your fitness program. The suspension training program helps build strength, balance, flexibility and burns fat.
Here at Rockbrook Women’s Gym, we believe in the fundamentals of exercise and the TRX fits nicely into our philosophy. It’s not necessary for big fancy equipment with all the bells and whistles, a good workout comes from ingenuity and hard work. Each human body has the same muscles, fibers and tissue as the next person so the trick to a great fitness routine is dedication and variety. Variety comes in the form of not doing the same thing every time you work out or lifting the same weight level each time. The TRX uses your body weight as the resistance and the variety of exercises you can do with a TRX can achieve a full body workout unlike any other. Don’t take my word for it, try it out yourself anytime at RWG! Need help? Contact us for personal training options for you and a friend if you’d like some individual instruction. Visit the TRX website for more information.
Please replace the TRX straps on the hooks when done using them at the gym. Be sure and read the safety guidelines and instruction manual on the TV in the workout area before starting.
Want to learn more? Let us know if you’d like a personal instruction on the TRX and we can offer 3-4 person sessions for $10 a person. Gain confidence on the TRX and learn how to work your body a whole new way!
All the talk on health care reform makes my stomach ache. The medical industry is all wrapped up in the “what-if’s” and repairing whats already broken…your health. It isn’t about health care…It’s about PREVENTION! Think of your health and fitness prevension program and an investment in your future. Reducing health care costs start at home and how you take care of yourself. Stop kidding yourself that you are doing enough to prevent disease, illness, and general aches and pains. Get off your butt and stop saying you can’t afford a gym or a wellness program.
Prevention is the key to wellness and a happy, healthy life. The dollars you spend on a fitness program, equipment, gym, personal trainer, and health counseling is money saved in the long run. Health care insurance by nature is built to take care of the “just in case this happens to me”. Just like any insurance, it is built to step in when all else fails or the unexpected happens. You wouldn’t consider not performing maintenace on your car would you? Just drive it until the wheels fall off. Well, why does the general population believe we must care for our cars and not our own human bodies? It’s a tragedy and the insanity must stop! Take charge of your life and do a little preventative maintenance today. Invest in your future and health care reform won’t be necessary if we reverse the poor state of health of the american population one person at a time!
Check out my article in the local magazine “Her” out for February and March. It gives you a nice quick guide on how to burn that unwanted fat. Just click on the link below and enjoy the tips for efficient workouts on page 29!
Her magazine article
Women who take charge of their lives do so with renewed commitment each and every day! You wake up and think about all the things you are grateful for but with a renewed interest in making each day count! Stop kidding yourself that there will be “tomorrow” or “next week” or even “next year” to renew your commitment to your health and your fitness. I’ve played those games and tomorrow never seems to come so you have to ask yourself, “Who’s in charge”. “I’m in charge” so take charge and make a difference in your life and those people around you by inspiring change and improvement.
Here are a couple of books recommended to me that I would like to share with you. They are books that will inspire you to take charge and stop kidding yourself.
“Younger Next Year for Women” by Chris Crowley
“Body for Life for Women” by Dr. Pamala Peeke
Read and be happy!
