TRX Suspension Training Course
We devoted this past weekend to some continuing education. We participated in the TRX Suspension Training Course. It was a well spent day! We reviewed the theory behind suspension training, integration with other tools, program design, and (of course) alot of hands-on training! :-) We learned the basics of using the TRX Suspension Trainer ourselves, as well as for our clients. I learned SO MUCH at this workshop. I also want to take the advanced course later this year. I am convinced that suspension training should be part of any program being used to enhance functional fitness and improve flexibility and range of motion.
This was one of the best seminar experiences that I've had in a while. I'm looking forward to more TRX in the future. If you want to learn more about suspenion training, the TRX trainer, or purchase your own TRX equipment, please click on my banner at the right. If you are on the fence about getting one, my advice is to GET ONE and try it out! OR, come see us for a TRX orientation session, try it out, and decide for yourself. Either way: you won't regret the decision; experiencing is believing!
Give us a shout if you have any questions or if you want to try out the TRX for yourself. We are happy to take you through an orientation!

Semi-Private Group Training is HERE!!!
We wanted to announce and review the details behind our newly added semi-private group training options. We recognize that 1x1 training is not ideal or affordable for everyone. Some work better in a group atmosphere, but still want alot of personal attention while training.
Here's the scoop on how to get the biggest bang for YOUR training dollar:
1) What you get: ATX Underground small group sessions consist of 3-4 people. Each group meets 2x/week for a minimum of 6 weeks. Simply round up 2 or 3 of your friends or co-workers and train with us together! There's nothing like the comradierie that group training brings, as well as the satisfaction of achieving your goals together. There is also a bit of friendly competition that makes training even more fun :-). We use the time doing strength training, circuit training, metabolic conditioning drills, etc, depending upon the goals established by the group.
2) Duration & Location: These programs are offered at a minimum of 6 weeks, but longer programs can definitely be accommodated; just let us know! Each group will meet twice per week and will train for about 60 minutes. Each group will pick 2 training days and times, and each person in the group will be committed to attending. There are various options for training location. In many instances, training sessions will take place at either the ATX Underground private gym or outdoors at Canyon Vista Middle school. However, there are also options for training outdoors at a public park or track or at some other location around the city. This is a nice option, especially if you are training with co-workers.
3) Cost: A 3-person group, training over 6 weeks, meeting twice per week costs $300 per person. That's a price of $25 per person per session! A 4-person group, training over 6 weeks, meeting twice per week costs $240 per person. That's a price of $20 per person per session. Where else can you get 12 sessions of personal training for that price and NO GYM MEMBERSHIP? Please note that pre-payment for each person is required, but we can work on installment payment plans as needed.
4) Experience: We do scale programs and sessions to each person's fitness level. However, it may be deemed that some members of the group might need more individual coaching through a few 1x1 sessions. In those instances, 1x1 training may be offered at a reduced rate.
5) Matching Services: We also provide a matching service for those interested in training with others but who are unable to form their own groups. This applies to semi-private group training (3-4 person groups) as well as partner training (two-person).
Contact us today if you are interested in forming a semi-private training group or have any questions.

TRX Suspension Training
We've been doing alot of research on suspension training, and more specificially on the TRX suspension training system. TRX was voted one of the top fitness products of 2009 by Men's Health magazine, along with AoS Ropes Gone Wild. TRX was recently used on the Biggest Loser as well. We are currently trying the system out and will be taking a formal course later this month.
