Recognising the rapid growth of triathlon in the UK, training tools specialist TRX has partnered with Team Freespeed Skechers Performance, a UK triathlon team of 13 amateur athletes racing at a domestic and international level, to bring them ‘the best-in-class TRX kit and workouts to aid their existing training and rehab programmes.’
TRX Master Trainer, Matt Gleed delivered a bespoke TRX Triathletes workout to Team Freespeed at Virgin Active Chiswick Riverside in early August to demonstrate correct set-up and exercise technique to deliver that all-important performance improvement.
Matt Gleed said, “TRX training has real synergy with the performance needs of triathletes; so this partnership makes complete sense for both of us. We’ve supplied each member of the team with a TRX Suspension Trainer and a bespoke workout which I took the team through this week. We’re looking forward to the results, following up with another workout in the winter season and working closely with the team in the future.”
On the partnership, Team Freespeed Manager, Richard Melik said, “We work best with brands that engage with us and as a team of high performing athletes, we are always open to new training techniques and products that may give us the edge over our competition.”
He added, “We’re so excited to kick start this partnership and get the team up and running with TRX. The bespoke exercises Matt took the team through will improve general strength and flexibility, core stability and mobility, all of which will, hopefully, result in improved performances all round!”
The TRX Suspension Trainer is billed as the original, best-in-class workout system that leverages gravity and your bodyweight to perform hundreds of exercises. Meanwhile, Rip Training utilizes a lever bar and resistance cord to provide a unique mix of rotation, core stability, control, power, strength, mobility, metabolic conditioning, balance and coordination challenges.
TRX has developed a wide assortment of unique, leverage-variable resistance exercise movements, coaching cues, and programming and educational principles using its Rip Trainer, the collection of which comprises Rip Training.
