Fitness Forward Studio in Bellevue, WA launches revolutionary new training program
TRX® Suspension Training® improves total body strength, cardio endurance and flexibility in a fast effective workout.
Forward Studio, a fitness center based in Bellevue, announced today the launch of a revolutionary new group training program using the TRX Suspension Trainer. Fitness Forward is the latest gym to adopt Suspension Training, a new system of functional exercise created by Randy Hetrick, CEO of Fitness Anywhere and former Navy SEAL. The TRX Suspension Trainer 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 certified fitness instructors to guide participants through Suspension Training® movements to deliver a total-body muscle-sculpting workout.
Suspension Training 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 Suspension Trainer attractive to so many users, from elite athletes in every major sports league, all branches of the military, and fitness enthusiasts at all levels.
“We’re very excited to bring TRX Suspension Training to our facility and feel that it is a great way to differentiate ourselves from other fitness gyms,” said Debbie Potts, owner/trainer of Fitness Forward. “And what better way to do it with such a functional, effective and practical piece of equipment?”
“We have created a genre of physical training that users at the elite and elementary levels can utilize,” said Randy Hetrick, CEO of Fitness Anywhere. “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.”
Since its introduction to the marketplace in 2005, the TRX Suspension Trainer is now used and trusted by trainers, coaches, athletes, physical therapists, and all branches of the military. Its popularity with teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and NCAA surges onward and it has quickly become a mainstay in top health clubs across the country. Already adopted by elite trainers such as Todd Durkin, Jonathan Ross, Justin Price and many more, the personal training community is embracing Suspension Training and further establishing it as a tried and true fitness method appropriate for all fitness levels.

| 7 Reasons You’re Still Hungry–Even After You Just Ate!
Do you sometimes feel ravenous, even though you just polished off a tasty lunch, a full dinner, or a midnight snack? Some food ingredients can trick our bodies into not recognizing when we’re full, causing “rebound hunger” that can expand our waistlines. But these simple tweaks from the authors of The New American Diet can help quiet your cravings
You Drink Too Much Soda
Sodas, iced teas, and other sweetened beverages are our biggest source of high-fructose corn syrup–accounting for about two-thirds of our annual intake. New research from the University of California at San Francisco indicates that fructose can trick our brains into craving more food, even when we’re full. It works by impeding the body’s ability to use leptin, the “satiation hormone” that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat.
Your Dinner Came Out of a Can
Many canned foods are high in the chemical bisphenol-A, or BPA, which the Food and Drug Administration recently stated was a chemical “of some concern.” Exposure to BPA can cause abnormal surges in leptin that, according to Harvard University researchers, leads to food cravings and obesity.
Your Breakfast Wasn’t Big Enough
After following 6,764 healthy people for almost 4 years, researchers found that those who ate just 300 calories for breakfast gained almost twice as much weight as those who ate 500 calories or more for breakfast. The reason: Eating a big breakfast makes for smaller rises in blood sugar and insulin throughout the day, meaning fewer sudden food cravings.
You Skipped the Salad
Most Americans don’t eat enough leafy greens, which are rich in the essential B-vitamin folate and help protect against depression, fatigue, and weight gain. In one study, dieters with the highest levels of folate in their bodies lost 8.5 times as much weight as those with the lowest levels. Leafy greens are also high in vitamin K, another insulin-regulating nutrient that helps quash cravings. Best sources: Romaine lettuce, spinach, collard greens, radicchio.
You Don’t Stop for Tea Time
According to a study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, people who drank one cup of black tea after eating high-carb foods decreased their blood-sugar levels by 10 percent for 2 and a half hours after the meal, which means they stayed full longer and had fewer food cravings. Researchers credit the polyphenolic compounds in black tea for suppressing rebound hunger.
You’re Not Staying Fluid
Dehydration often mimics the feeling of hunger. If you’ve just eaten and still feel hungry, drink a glass of water before eating more, and see if your desires don’t diminish.
You’re Bored
Researchers at Flinders University in Australia found that visual distractions can help curb cravings. To test yourself, envision a huge, sizzling steak. If you’re truly hungry, the steak will seem appealing. But if that doesn’t seem tempting, chances are you’re in need of a distraction, not another meal.

Common workout errors = corrections.
Common TRX Injuries: lower back, knees, wrists and shoulders due to incorrect form on the TRX. We need to teach the TRX exercises correctly, educate and create a more mind-body exercise movement. Train movements not muscles. Engage the core and stabilize the body before movement.
Push ups: too steep of angle, shoulder girdle moving = start easier then move back; stabilize shoulder girdle, neck and wrists. Move with core.
Row/Pull ups: too much slack in straps and pulling up TOO far (past end point) = pull shoulder blades together (lift from back, NOT arms); row to front of body. Establish end movement before movement.
Squats: holding onto straps too tightly, leaning back = re-align shins/knees over ankles to over mid foot. ACTIVATE glutes on bottom of movement- engage then lift up by pressing down into mid foot.
Planks: sway back “hammock” = adjust pelvis, activate TA and PF before lift up. New to planks = planks on mat or knees w/o TRX. Modify. Correct form before intensify! Concentrate on activating deep core muscles. Hold for only 8-15 seconds with 5 seconds break in between sets.
